The spool includes an inner surface with outer edges defin- ing a central axial opening. A hub with an open- ing therethrough is secured to the inner surface of the spool between the outer edges. At least one clothesline extending through at least one opening in the housing is provided with the clothesline having at least one end secured to the spool be- tween two flanges such that the clothesline is stored on the spool when in a retracted position. A handle, slidably disposed on the clothesline, is provided for extending the clothesline from a re- tracted position. A spool bearing is also provided and disposed between the spool and housing. A spin- dle extends through openings in the hub, bearing and housing and biasing means are provided between the spool and spindle with the biasing means being in a biased condition when the clothesline is in an extended position and in a substantially unbiased condition relative to the biased condition when the clothesline is in a fully retracted position.
