  • Patent number: 5392933
    Abstract: A retractable clothesline device is mounted on a support outside a window with two pairs of pulleys supporting an endless clothesline formed into two parallel loops by the pulleys. The outer loop may be retracted through the window by a controlling slide wand for safe indoor laundry loading and unloading, by drawing stored clothesline from the inner auxiliary clothesline loop. Pushing the slide wand outwardly reverses the process, diminishing the outer primary clothesline loop and increasing the auxiliary reservoir loop, placing the device in its outdoor drying or not-in-use position, the clothesline being kept uniformly taut at all times.
