Containment apparatus with perforated support platform

An apparatus for holding kitchen utensils apart from associated debris, comprising:

• a frame having a front wall and a back wall connected by opposing side walls, each wall configured in a planar fashion with a top of each wall located within a common plane substantially perpendicular to the planes of each wall;
• a substantially planar bottom fixedly connected to a bottom portion of said back and side walls in such a manner that the plane of said bottom is generally parallel to said common perpendicular plane and said bottom is spaced from a bottom portion of said front wall such that an opening is defined at said front wall immediately above and running substantially the entire length of a front portion of said bottom;
• a substantially planar perforated support platform fixedly mounted to each of said walls, wherein said support platform is provided in a plane substantially parallel with said bottom and said opening is defined at said front wall so as to run linearly between said support platform and said bottom;
• and
• a plurality of divider fixedly mounted to said front and back walls and disposed generally in parallel with said side walls.

• a plurality of dividers fixedly connected to said front and back walls and said bottom and disposed generally in parallel with said side walls so as to form a plurality of compartments between said side walls, each compartment separated by one of said dividers;
• a plurality of substantially planar perforated support platforms provided one each in each of said compartments and arranged in a plane substantially parallel to said bottom;
• and
• wherein said front wall is configured to define a plurality of openings, the location of the openings being further defined by the location of said dividers such that one opening is provided per compartment, each opening being provided between the support platform of its compartment and the bottom, immediately above and running linearly along a front portion of the bottom.
