Abstract: A dryer for laundry, is adapted to be clamped onto stationary objects, and has hanging bars for the laundry, which bars are arranged between two carriers. An adjustable mounting strap or bar, slidably movable in each carrier, is bent at one end to form a hanging hook, and is bent at its other end into a springy tongue. At least one part of the tongue, in combination with a catch, engages into openings in the carriers which are provided for engaging the catch to lock the carriers relative to the slidable mounting straps or bars.
