ABSTRACT:
The invention is a self-storing pivotally extending support for articles of apparel, clotheslines or the like. A mounting plate includes a pair of spaced apart ears with a pivotal pin axis carried by the ears. An arm slides vertically between the mounting plate and pivot axis pin and has a hook on its thickened forward end and an abutment rear end including an offset slot. The arm is moved upwardly until the offset slot permits slight lateral movement relative to the mounting plate by receiving the axis pin. This enables the arm to be pivoted to the horizontal or operative position with the abutment rear abutting the mounting plate to prevent further downward movement of the hook. The forward end is heavier than the rear end to enable gravity to assist in maintaining the operative or horizontal position. A hitch pin fits through an aperture in the arm to lock it in the vertical or storage position.
