摘要： A clothesline system is provided for automatically applying clothespins to articles to be dried once they are placed on a clothesline. The clothesline system comprises first and second pulleys, which are positioned at a spaced apart distance from each other, as well as a main cable, a secondary cable and a plurality of clothespins. The clothespins are capable of being removably attached to the secondary cable, and are movable between an open and closed position for receiving and gripping articles to be dried to the main cable. The clothesline system further comprises a mechanism for automatically opening and closing the clothespins so that they are able to either selectively grip or release the articles to be dried. Finally, the clothesline system comprises a support system for guiding and supporting the main cable such that the main cable is prevented from sagging beyond an acceptable distance within which the clothespins are capable of being attached to the main cable.
