ABSTRACT:
An umbrella-shaped clothes-drying rack has a pole 1, on which main arms 4 which are arranged to hold a clothes line are pivotably mounted via a star-shaped slider 2. Spreading arms 6 are provided between the main arms 4 and the pole 1. One end of each spreading arm 6 is pivotably mounted on a fixed holding member 3 which is fastened to the pole 1, and the other end of each spreading arm 6 is pivotably attached to a respective main arm 4. To ease the spreading of the umbrella-shaped clothes-drying rack in the beginning phase of opening, a spreading body 9 is slidably disposed in the upper portion of the pole 1 and cooperates with cam members 13 on the spreading arms 6 and displaces the spreading arms 6 by means of pulling on a pull rope 15 far enough so that the main arms 4 can be further unfolded to a fully open position without a great exertion of force by manually pushing the slider 2 up and/or by manually pulling downwardly and outwardly on the main arms 4.
