ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE An endless clothes-line is trained onto pulleys in the usual manner and a sprocket wheel is located between the top and bottom run of the clothes-line and nearer one of the pulleys. Both ends of a cable are attached to the clothes-line. The cable carries spaced clothes pins and is trained on the sprocket wheel. The clothes pins clip onto the clothes-line and are made to disengage the same when travelling around the sprocket. Each clothes pin has a V-shape configuration with a circular notch at the apex of the space between the legs of the clothes pin. Each clothes pin has a transversely-slidable locking plate, also with a notch registering with the notch of the pin itself in the open position, so as to receive the clothes-line or the clothes- line with the garment draped thereon. The locking plate is spring biased to closed position. In this closed position, the locking plate protrudes from one side of the clothes pin. Movement of the line causes successive clothes pins to engage a V-shape recess at the periphery of the sprocket wheel, whereby the locking plate is caused to move to open position and release the clothes-line. Rotation of the sprocket wheel successively presents the clothespins in open and operative position to the lower run of the line for automatic- ally securing thereon the garments previously placed on the line.
