ABSTRACT:
This invention relates to a clothes line having adjustable tension and to a line tensioner which is used for the taking up slack in a clothes line. According to this invention, a clothes line dryer (10) having an adjustable line tension comprises at least two frame members (11), a line (12) extending between the frame members (11) that is fixed at least one location on the frame member (11), a plurality of line guide members (13) located on each of the frame members (11) which substantially hold the line (12) with respect to each of the frame members (11) and allow the line (12) to extend between the frame members (11) at spaced intervals along the frame members (11), but which allow longitudinal movement of the line (12) therethrough, and at least one line tensioning means (14), (15) which engage the line (12) so as to shorten its length thereby creating a desired tension in the line (12). This invention allows a line which has become slack due to loading or environmental factors to be retensioned thereby improving the appearance of a clothes line.
