Collapsible / removable shower rail?

Question

I have a Victorian pulley airer (called a 'kitchen maid'?) for drying cloth es sited above my bath. The problem is that this will clash with any showe r rail I put up around my bath - as the rack is lowered from the ceiling it will bump into the shower rail on its way down. I know you can get foldin g screens for showers but my bath's ends are not against the walls of the b athroom so I'd have to build a sort of pillar for this screen to attach to, I can't see this looking good.

So... Does anyone know of a shower rail that can fold against the wall or c an be removed easily (ie without undoing fixings)?

Is there any scope for making a lightweight framework that you could clip onto the pulley airer (to support a curtain) when needed?

My airer has wooden slats - does yours? If so, you could easily shorten  them.

The obvious suggestion would be to have a fold-away shower screen,  mounted solely to the wall.

I can't do this as the bath's ends aren't against walls, the fold away screens I've seen are placed at the corner of the bath and screwed into the wall.
