The rack also includes elastic cords and a latch mechanism for arresting the element. The elastic cords are mounted in the element to be engaged, yielding against the dishes supported in the rack by pivotal movement of the element towards the grid. The latch mechanism arrests the element in different pivoted positions with the elastic cords stretched against the dishes.
