Abstract
An umbrella-type clothes drier can be covered with a protective cover when it is not in use. An unfolding and folding spreading frame that supports a clothesline is preferably disposed in an adjustable manner on the central upright tube of the apparatus. The protective cover can be pulled over the folded spreading frame and the clothesline from the upright tube and can be retracted into the upright tube at the inner end section thereof, which remains inside the upright pipe. The outer end section of the protective cover supports a cap which overlaps the upper end of the upright tube when the protective cover is retracted into the upright tube.
