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.
A clothes line device for mounting between opposed walls comprising an extendible stretcher unit defining a pair of opposite ends, a pair of clothes line attachment heads secured to the opposite ends respectively of said stretcher unit, each of said clothes line attachment heads including a pair of arms diverging away from the related end of said stretcher unit and a bow-shaped cross member extending transversely to said stretcher unit and secured to the outer ends of said arms, said cross member and arms forming a substantially triangular open frame for clearing a shower head extending therethrough when said cross member abuts against an adjacent wall from which the shower head protrudes, said cross-member resiliently yielding into biased engagement against the adjacent wall upon extension of said stretcher unit, each attachment head including an outer portion engaging the adjacent wall in a first position wherein said device is frictionally supported on a respective wall while allowing shifting of said device relative to the wall surface and an inner portion engaging the adjacent wall in a second position and holding said device in operative position against the adjacent wall in response to further extension of said stretcher unit.
