ABSTRACT:
A foldable clothes line comprises a series of arms (12) which radiate outwardly from a lower cross (13) fixed to a central standard (11), the arms (12) being guided by stays (14) pivotally connected at their outer ends to the arms (12) and at their inner ends to an upper cross (16) mounted at the upper end of the standard (11), wherein each of the arms (12) comprises relative rotatable inner and outer arms portions (18, 19) which are hingedly connected by a hinge mechanism (20) so as to permit relative pivotal movement of the arm portions about a transverse axis, releasable locking mechanism (28) being provided for preventing relative pivotal movement of the arm portions (18, 19) when the arm (12) is in a fully extended position, arranged so that each of the arms (12) is independently movable between a collapsed condition wherein its inner and outer arm portions (18, 19) lie alongside one another and extend approximately vertically adjacent the standard (11) and a fully extended in-use position wherein the arm extends approximately radially outwards from the standard (11).
