The submitted sample is identified as a Carousel Clothes Dryer, Style# 04320DI. The item is constructed of polypropylene (PP) plastic material. It consists of a plastic hook that is molded on top of a vertical plastic extension. The bottom of that extension is snapped onto another vertical plastic extension that can rotate in a circular motion as the top portion remains stationary while hanging from a clothes line or horizontal bar by the top hook. Attached to the rotating vertical extension are eight horizontal plastic extensions or “arms”, each of which measures approximately 8¼” in length. Suspended from each arm are two plastic clothes pins hanging by a metal connecting ring. The clothes pins do not have a spring but open and shut by the action of a plastic hinge. The “arms” can be folded/collapsed upwards when the item is not in use, to facilitate storage. The item, when fully extended, measures approximately 11½”H x 18”W from the end of one horizontal extended arm to the end of the directly opposing one on the carousel. As you requested, the sample will be returned to you.
