Abstract

A collapsible apparatus for supporting a container at an adjustable angle of incline to drain its contents includes a base, a shoulder support attached to the base for supporting a shoulder of the container, and a body support for supporting the container body above the shoulder. The shoulder support includes a pair of legs hingedly attached to the base at spaced apart hinge ends and joined at its opposite ends supported by a strut hingedly connected to the base, and spaced apart crosspieces between the legs to act as a shoulder stop. The body support includes a pair of arms hingedly attached to the base at spaced apart arm hinge ends and slidably attached to a body support member which is removably attachable at its ends to the shoulder support. The angle of incline is adjusted by slidably adjusting the distance between the arms.
