of Lancashire, do hereby declare the nature of this invention and in what manner
the same is to be performed, to be particularly described and ascertained in and
by the following statement:-
My invention has for its object a rack for cooking utensil lids and a towel rail,
which may be secured to a wall or other like surface.
This I construct of two rods of wood, metal, or other material of suitable length
and size secured together at each end by end pieces of wood; or other material,
in such manner that when the end pieces are secured to a wall or the like by eye
pieces or other means, these rods are horizontal and parallel to one another and
situated at a suitable distance apart in an inclined plane, so that a cooking utensil
lid placed upon said rods will occupy an inclined position with its flange or
handle resting against the lower of the two rods.
To each of the end pieces an arm is pivoted and between the two arms so

stops are provided for retaining said arms in the horizontal position when the
rail is in use.
A rack constructed as above described is shewn in the accompanying drawings,
and will be better understood with reference thereto.
Of these drawings, Fig. 1 is a front elevation of the rack with the towel rail
ready for use;
Fig. 2 a similar view, but with the towel rail raised;
Fig. is an end view of Fig. 1: Fig. 4 an end view of Fig. 2, and Fig. 5 a
sectional elevation on line A-A Fig. 1.
The rack consists of two rods a of suitable length and size secured to end
pieces so that when the latter are secured in position, they occupy a horizontal
position parallel to one another at a suitable distance apart on an inclined
plane, so that a cooking utensil lid is placed upon them will occupy an inclined
position with its flange, edge, or bandle resting against the lower one.
To the end pieces are pivoted arms e carrying a rod d forming a towel rail
which may be raised or lowered as required. Stops e are provided to limit the
movement of said arms when the rail is'in use.
When desired, the towel rail may be dispensed with.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said
invention and in what manner the same is to be performed, I declare that what
I claim is:-
(1) A rack for cooking utensil lids consisting of a pair of rods such as a secured
to end pieces such as b so that said rods occupy a horizontal position parallel to
one another on an inclined plane when secured in position, substantially as
described and illustrated by the accompanying drawings.
(2) A combined rack for cooking utensil lids and towel rail substantially as
described and illustrated by the accompanying drawings..
