ABSTRACT:
For use with a conventional clothes line assembly provided with means for slackening the line, a set of pairs of clothes holding elements secured to the line in spaced relationship therealong and placed in opposition one with the other, the use in opposition of two elements allowing the gripping of clothes, and comprising a pair of elongated bodies each made of a rigid material, each body generally oriented coaxially with respect to the line and comprising a trailing end coaxial to the line and a gripping end with an extention tip projecting perpendicularly to the trailing end, the gripping ends of the two bodies facing each other, each tip forming an angle relatively perpendicular to the clothes line and varying from 80 to 90 degrees so that when the two elongated bodies are coaxial the two extention tips face each other, the two opposing gripping faces grip the clothing, the same arrangement allowing ungripping when the two bodies get on the pulley, thus becoming no longer coaxial with the straight portion of the line and the gripping faces separate, releasing any clothing gripped between the gripping faces.
