Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] This invention relates to a washing machine, and particularly to a washing machine in which an attached basket can be hung from a base that rotatably supports a towel rack.

In the figure, 10 is the main body of the washing machine, which has a washing tank and a dehydration tank inside like a normal washing machine.
Legs 1 higher than the outer diameter of the drain hose 11 are installed at the lower four corners.
2, and a drainage hose 11 is led out between the legs. The flange portions 13 of the washing tank and the dehydration tank are placed on the upper edge of the main body 10, and handles 14 for carrying the washing machine are protruded from both left and right sides.
The handle 14 partially has a through hole 15 penetrating in the vertical direction, and by hooking a hook 16 projecting in an inverted L shape on the side surface of the distal end of the drain hose 11 to the through hole 15, the drain hose 11 can be attached to the main body. It can be hung along the sides.

Reference numeral 17 denotes a towel hanger, which has a notched annular shape and has shaft portions 17a provided at both ends thereof, which are rotatably inserted into holes 18a at both left and right ends of the base 18. This towel hanger 17 is molded from synthetic resin, and the shaft portion 17 is deformed by using elasticity immediately after molding when it is still soft.
a into the hole 18a. The towel can be hung on a portion of the towel rack facing the base, as shown in FIG. The base 18 is fixed to the front surface of the main body 10 by screws 19 inserted from the inside of the main body. This base 18 has a projection 18b on the upper surface that projects upward at a distance from the front surface of the main body 10.
It also has a recess 18c that is open upward. The recess 18c has a through hole 1 for draining water at its bottom.
8d is provided to prevent water from pooling in the recess 18c.

Reference numeral 20 denotes an attached basket for storing items to be washed, with a grid-like upper part and a non-porous wall 20a extending from the lower side to the bottom.
It is becoming. This non-porous wall 20a is connected to the attached basket 20
To prevent washed clothes from sticking out of the basket and touching the ground when the basket is placed on the ground. The attached basket 20 has a hanging piece 20b that hangs down from the outer periphery of the upper end at intervals, and this hanging piece is attached to the base 18.
By hanging on the protrusion 18b, it can be hung on the base 18 as shown in FIG. 2
1 is a handle provided on the attached basket 20.

When the drain hose 11 is guided forward from between the two front legs, the hook 16 at its tip can be hooked onto the protrusion 18b of the base 18 as shown in FIG. can.

As mentioned above, this invention has the towel hanger rotatably mounted on a base fixed to the front of the main unit, so the towel hanger does not protrude too far from the main body, which prevents it from getting in the way of washing operations and increasing the packaging volume. There is nothing to do. Furthermore, since the accessory basket is hung from a protrusion that protrudes upward from the base, it is easy to transfer the items to be washed from the tank to the accessory basket, and the accessory basket can also be used as a storage place when the washing machine is not in use. This is extremely convenient in practice.
