FIG. 3 shows another embodiment of the present invention, in which one end of the stopper C is extended to prevent the clothesline from coming off, and the stopper C is formed by forming a rod-shaped body with a circular cross section into a channel shape. A rod-like body is extended from one end of the base end 32 of the support arm B, and arc-shaped rod holding portions 35 are formed at required locations to prevent the laundry rod 34 placed on the rod receiving portion 17 of the support arm B from falling off. It is designed to prevent this.

FIG. 4 also shows another embodiment of the present invention, in which one end of the stopper C is bent downward and its lower end is formed into a hook shape to provide a rod storage portion 36.

〔Effect of the invention〕

As described above, according to the present invention, the mounting portion is provided with a rectangular stopper engaging portion, and the stopper is provided with a locking portion,
Since the locking part of this stopper engages at least three sides of the rectangular stopper engaging part of the mounting part, the support arm is firmly and reliably fixed to the mounting part when in use and when not in use. Its rotation is regulated, and as a result, the clothesline does not fall off or wobble.

In addition, unlike conventional systems in which the rotation of the support arm is regulated by the engagement of the uneven parts of the support arm and the mounting part, the stopper is attached to the support arm in a movable manner, so that when the support arm rotates, the rotation of the support arm is restricted. Since it is now possible to directly rotate the support arm in the horizontal direction without having to move it upward each time, there are advantages such as smooth rotation of the support arm and easy operation of the support arm.
