Just having a look & an "umbrella" clothes line seems to be an
inverted Hills Hoist, with the ends of the poles / lines higher than
the centre.
Can't think of a better choice of words though?
The more modern collapsible ones are like that, I think you can change
the angle by changing the height of the centre support.

I'd prefer 'rotary' as they can rotate. But 'umbrella' is what the
Russians have chosen .. but they have not used it so the option is there
to use something else.
Thanks

HI,
I recently saw the shadow of one of these while mapping and
wondered how to map it. It did stand out.
Turns out the Russians have a tag for it …
amenity=clothes_dryer only some 300 uses world wide
clothes_dryer=umbrella bugger all of these world wide
https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/RU:Tag:amenity%3Dclothes_dryer
Must be millions of them in Oz. I think it needs to go into the
Australian Tagging Guidelines as a Australian English to OSM
translation … Some will say they don’t want private stuff mapped
in backyards, despite that people are mapping swimming pools and
tennis course in private backyards and then there are campgrounds
with hills hoist too.
Any thoughts/objections?
