as in fig1 in this embodiment supports 12 are relieved in contour to clear the baseboard heater 15 and extensions 16 are attached by adjustable fasteners 18 such as bolts and wingnuts or the like to the edges of supports 12 nearest the wall 14 it may be understood that heated air from the baseboard heater 15 will rise by convection and because in the preferred embodiment the shelf or shelves 11 are open as with latticework perforated metal screening or the like the air will pass freely upward through the shelves drying any articles placed thereon when not used for drying these horizontal shelves may be alternatively used for such general purposes as holding books or plants indeed the drying rack will function though much less effectively even if the shelves are solid because rising air will generally circulate around the articles on the shelves since friction between the supports 12 and the floor 13 may vary greatly from one installation to another extensions 16 are used in the preferred embodiment to prevent motion away from the wall 14 or to carry weight to the top of the baseboard heater 15 whose height may vary from one type or from one installation to another to help in transferring weight to the top of a variety of baseboard heaters 15 extension 16 may be provided with a protrusion 17 best seen in fig4 extending perpendicularly thereto which may be adjusted with extension 16 to rest on the baseboard heater 15 as shown in fig4 protrusion 17 is an integral lanced portion of extension 16 but protrusion 17 could as well be a separate part such as a welded bracket through bolt or the like.
