Abstract (en)

[origin: US4732285A] A collapsible structure consisting of an umbrella-like clothes drier or of a garden umbrella comprises a central tube and a folding frame, which carries a clothesline or a covering. A flexible sheath is provided, which is adapted to be slipped over the folding frame when it is collapsed. The flexible sheath may be sacklike (closed at one end and open at the other) and in that case may be accommodated in the central tube when the same is open-topped, or in a storage container, which is open-topped and is parallel to and extends beside the central tube. Alternatively the sheath may be tubular (open at both ends) and accommodated in a storage container which concentrically surrounds the lower portion of the central tube. The sacklike sheath can be pulled out of the central tube or the juxtaposed storage container at its top end and over an upwardly convex, annular guiding hood and can then be slipped from above over the collapsed folding frame. The tubular sheath can be pulled out of the open top of the concentric storage container and can be slipped from below over the collapsed folding frame. A rope or a spring, which is secured in the juxtaposed storage container or to the central tube on the inside thereof, is secured to the sacklike sheath and can be used to retract the sheath into the central tube of the juxtaposed storage container.
