Abrégé

The present invention relates to automatically deploying covers (100) for rotary clotheslines (102). At present, bespoke rotary clotheslines are required in order to provide an automatically deploying rotary clothesline cover which is not susceptible to high winds when the cover is in the retracted position. The manufacture of such bespoke rotary clotheslines (102) is greater than for conventional rotary clotheslines. The present invention solves this problem by providing an automatically deploying cover assembly which is compacted into a relatively small area in the retracted state and is retracted into a position substantially adjacent and above the rotary clothesline. Therefore, the cover assembly (100) may be retrofit onto an existing clothesline or may be manufactured as an integrated clothesline and cover assembly.
