ABSTRACT:
A multiple-feed clothesline drying apparatus constructed as a plurality of clotheslines arranged for coordinated movement within the drying space enclosed by a frame, so as to simultaneously make additional drying space available. The apparatus is constructed as a stationary frame provided as a rectangular shape having a shaft mounted at one end. One end of each of a plurality of clotheslines is wound about the shaft on portions of its length, and are thereby retained in a storage position. The other end of each of the plurality of clotheslines terminates on a movable bar which is disposed within the frame area. At either end of the movable bar, a pair of cords are connected, each looped around a pulley supported at the other end of the frame and wound about the shaft in a direction opposite that of the clotheslines. The cords can be used to adjust the position of the movable bar, which moves toward and away from the shaft in accordance with take-up and feed operations, simultaneously feeding and retracting multiple clotheslines in coordinated fashion. A motor drive mechanism is provided for automatic feeding or retracting the multiple clotheslines. The clothesline shaft is provided with an inner shaft allowing all the clotheslines to be tightened against the cords as needed. An automatically fed rain cover is provided to cover the frame area and the clotheslines.
