Abstract (en)

A rain protection system suitably designed for the popular rotary airer comprising of water resistant panels (5), which form the required funnel shape. The panels (5) are attached to the airer's outermost line, the lower sections of the panels are weighted such that the panel becomes taut under normal conditions, creating the desired funnel shape. The lower, weighted sections (15) will also form the shape of a downspout (8), providing greater protection. During windy conditions, the panels may be forced to lift, this will create a gap alowing air to escape. This vent-like action will prevent damage, should the rotary airer be left unfolded during windy conditions.
