Abstract
The invention relates to an electrically operated single cord clothesline comprising near and distant reel assemblies both attachable to a clothesline supporting structure. The cord encloses individually insulated electric wires, and the near reel assembly includes a reel on which the near end of the cord is wound and a reversible electric motor for driving the latter reel. The distant reel assembly comprises a second reel on which the distant end of the cord is wound and a second reversible electric motor for driving this second reel. A foot control supplies the two reversible motors with electric current to move the cord longitudinally in either direction. The distant motor is obviously supplied through the wires of the cord. The clothesline also incorporates a system for controlling the tension in the cord.
