Abstract: A foldable clothes-line having a pair of arms together with mounting brackets for fixing to supports. The arms comprise base sections which in use of the clothes-line engage in the brackets and line carriage sections disposed at right angles to the base sections. The arms are pivotal in the brackets in a substantially horizontal plane between a first position at which the line carriage sections extend outwardly to deploy the clothes-line for service and a second folded position whereby the line carriage sections are located closely adjacent to the supports in a space saving configuration. The mounting brackets have a retaining mechanism to releasably hold the line carriage sections in the outwardly extended position.
