Abstract:
1. A clothes airer comprising at least one pair of pivotally connected frames and at least one support member wherein one of the pair of connected frames is pivotally connected to at least one support member and the other frame of the pair of frames is pivotally connected to a fitting which is slidably mounted to at least one support member, enabling it to slide along at least part of the length of at least one support member, wherein the fitting defines a part that extends around at least one support member so that it captures at least one support member with a sliding fit, the fitting being operable between an open state in which it may be mounted laterally on at least one support member and a closed state in which, when mounted on at least one support member, it may move longitudinally relative to at least one support member but not be displaced laterally from at least one support member, and wherein at least one support member is tubular and the fitting defines a generally cylindrical passage through which the tubular support member extends.
