Dish drying cabinet

While recorded history of the idea goes back as far as 1876 with a patent application by an American inventor Chandler Vashti,[1] the concept was popularised in Finland in the 1940s by Maiju Gebhard, the head of the household department at the Finnish Work Efficiency Institute.

Enso-Gutzeit began industrial production of the cabinets in 1948, and in 1954 a rack made from plastic-coated steel wire was introduced.

[6][5] In 1972, an Israeli engineer, Nathan Manor, patented an assembly of superposed trays, for storing and drying dishes, slidably supported on rails and vertically retractable into and out of an encasement.

An improvement to the design of the Almagov was patented by Tal Simhoni in 2012 for a dish drying cabinet installation kit.

Simhoni produced a cut out template with a plurality of rigid vertical support members to include holes that receive fasteners for attaching the entire unit to the inside walls of any kitchen cabinet, without limiting the installation to standardized measurements of prepared cabinets.
