[0003]

In the former conventional example, in order to shift from the use position to the non-use position, the arm rod must be lifted obliquely upward and then turned, which is very troublesome. There is a possibility that the arm rod is pushed up by the wind hitting the laundry hanging on the clothesline in use, and the convex part may come off from the groove-shaped concave part, in which case the arm rod falls down, There is a problem that it is very dangerous. Also,
After the arm is turned to the projecting use state, it cannot be fixed to the unrotatable state unless it is moved completely diagonally downward.If the arm is moved halfway, the arm will fall down during use. There is a problem that it can be very dangerous. In the latter conventional example, the above-mentioned problem of the former conventional example is solved, but the knock shaft must be pushed up in a state where the weight of the arm rod is applied to the knock shaft, and the structure is difficult to push up. And there is a problem that it is structurally impossible. The knock shaft is urged by a spring in a direction in which the protrusion at the tip engages with the engagement hole. However, the weight of the arm rod is applied to the knock shaft. There is a possibility that it will not move due to friction even if it is urged, and in the state where the arm rod projects vertically with the tip projection of the knock shaft not completely engaged with the engagement hole, the former of Similar to the conventional example, there is a problem that the arm rod may fall down during use, which is very dangerous.
