    Patent number: 5575046
    Abstract: A link for a pegless clothes line is molded from resilient plastic material and has a stud formation at one end and a recess for receiving a neck of the stud formation of the adjacent link, at the other end. A diamond-shaped aperture opens at one end into an entrance to the recess, and at the other end into an undulating pinch slot of V-shaped cross section. Clothes to be dried have their corners poked through the apertures and are then slid sideways along the pinch slots which hold them in position. Oblique bars enhance the resilience of the sides of the pinch slot.
