Abstract: A clothes line system has a pair of spaced horizontal pulleys mounted respectively on support arms above the ground. Each pulley is formed with radially extending spokes having mounted on each end thereof a Y-shaped line engagement member that engages a clothes line entrained around the pulleys. The overall length of the clothes line is substantially a multiple of the linear distance between adjacent Y-shaped line engagement members on the pulleys. As a result, the Y-shaped line engagement members engage essentially the same location along the clothes line with the clothes aligning between the Y-shaped line engagement members as they pass around the pulleys. One of the pulleys maintains tension in the entrained clothes line utilizing a support arm structure that has a telescopic portion drawn toward a base member. A tilt adjustment device interconnecting the support arm and the vertical post orient the angle of the support arms.

Abstract: A clothesline comprises first and second spaced-apart end pulleys mounted to respective brackets for rotation about a substantially vertical axis. An endless cord stretched out and trained on the first and second pulleys forms side by side first and second runs. The brackets provide enough clearance about the pulleys for allowing clothes hanging from the endless cord to pass from one side of the pulleys to the other side thereof, thereby allowing to use the first and second runs for hanging some pieces of garment and, thus, double the overall hanging capacity of the clothesline.
