Support frame for use with kitchen sink and over sink work station

A support frame for use with a kitchen sink, said support frame comprising:

• at least two extendable arms to hold the frame over the kitchen sink, said arms extend parallel to each other and define a free space therebetween, and are connected, at respective ends thereof, by U-shaped connecting handles, wherein said arms and said connecting handles have a rectangular cross section for increasing a contact area with the kitchen sink;
• said arms each comprising at least first and second parts of different cross section, with the first part having a smaller cross section that is slidably inserted into the second part which has a larger cross section;
• said second parts, at an end portion thereof, each comprise a sealing element that slidably centers and aligns said first parts and said second parts;
• wherein said arms define a first plane and said U-shaped connecting handles define a second plane, and said second plane is spaced apart from and oriented parallel to said first plane;
• and
• wherein outer legs of said U-shaped connecting handles, in a transition region, extend in a direction oblique to said first plane and said second plane.
