Claim:
A dishwasher rack, comprising: a substantially rectangular wire receptacle defined by a bottom wall, a front wall, a back wall, and opposite side walls; spaced apart first and second rows of tines having lower ends and upper ends, and being free from connections above the lower ends between adjacent tines, so as to receive objects to be washed therebetween; the tines in each row being independently foldable in opposite directions between an upright position and a lowered position; the upper ends of the tines of the first row being spaced progressively farther apart from the tines of the second row as one or both of the rows of tines are folded from the upright position to the lowered position such that the object supported by the tines will be tilted progressively farther from a vertical plane as the tines are folded toward the lowered position; and a clip member associated with the tines to permit selected folding of each row of the tines to one or more positions between the upright and lowered positions.
