Abstract
This invention relates to a support rack for articles such as towels. In one form the support rack is provided with spring latches which are adapted to grip the towel so as to prevent retraction therefrom in a downward direction. However a towel supported at either side by a pair of identical such support racks may be withdrawn by grasping the towel between the members so that the towel disengages sideways from the latches.
