Firstly, am struggling to wrap my head around exactly how the mechanism for a traditional 'hills hoist' (as seen below) clothesline functions.
The handle can be turned in order to raise the clotheslines but from my googling, the mechanism is different to what I was expecting.
Would be greatly appreciated if someone were able to explain to me how systems such as the ones shown below function.
Does the entire handle assembly move along the central threaded rod, pushing up the upper section?
If so is there a way to achieve this with the handle assembly fixed?
Feel like it's probably quite a simple answer but haven't been able to find much specific information on it
