Title: Clothes line device

Abstract: A clothes line device of the type installed indoor between the walls at the opposite ends of a bath or outdoor between a balcony railing and a building wall, and characterized by yieldable engagement with these walls and by its construction of a few simple and inexpensive parts. The clothes line device includes a rod and a pair of clothes line attachment heads fixed to the opposite ends of the rod and resiliently yieldable upon engagement with the opposite walls. Each clothes line attachment head is formed of a bow-shaped wire work having a concave side facing the corresponding wall and engaging the latter in two stages; the first stage being sufficient to support the clothes line device per se and allowing to shift it to the desired position relative to the surface of the wall, and the second stage tightening the device to operatively support the clothes.
