Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a clothing-processing device in which a lid body is opened and closed from the front surface of a casing and a process (such as a washing process and a drying process) is performed to clothing accommodated in the casing.
  • a drum-type washing machine as this type of the clothing-processing device.
  • a configuration that a lid body and a washing machine main body are coupled by a hinge so that the lid body is openable and closable is proposed (for example, refer to Patent Document 1).
  • Fig. 6 shows a perspective view of the conventional drum-type washing machine described in Patent Document 1
  • Fig. 7 shows a sectional view of major parts in which the lid body of the same drum-type washing machine is in an opened state.
  • a pair of coupling members 135, 136 are turnably attached as hinges to a rotation shaft 134 of a bearing 133 which is attached to a washing machine main body 132. Further, the other ends of the pair of coupling members 135, 136 are fixed to an end edge of a lid body 139.
  • the lid body 139 is coupled to the washing machine main body 132 via the hinges, so that an opening 131 provided on a front surface of the washing machine main body 132 is openably and closably covered by the lid body 139.
  • the pair of coupling members 135, 136 has a substantially arc shape about the rotation shaft 134, and the lid body 139 has a circular shape. Therefore, the more distant from each other the pair of coupling members 135, 136 is arranged, the larger an arc radius of a substantially arc shape becomes.
  • Patent Document 1 JP 2005-65909 A
  • the pair of coupling members 135, 136 is formed in a substantially arc shape about the rotation shaft 134, and the more distant from each other the coupling members are, the larger the arc radius of the substantially arc shape becomes. Therefore, a large gap is generated between the end edge of the lid body 139 on the side of the rotation shaft 134 and the washing machine main body 132. With such a configuration, there is a possibility that a user or an accompanying person such as a child places fingers in the gap. There is a problem that particularly movement of the lid body 139 in the direction in which the lid body is opened to maximum is very dangerous as the fingers are caught. There is a problem that closing of the lid body 139 is similarly dangerous as the fingers are caught.
  • Such problems in the conventional drum-type washing machine are common problems to a clothes dryer having an openable and closable lid body on a front surface.
  • the present invention is to solve the above conventional problems, and an object thereof is to provide a clothing-processing device with a simple configuration for turnably supporting a lid body with a hinge, the clothing-processing device being safe and convenient for a user or an accompanying person such a child.
  • a clothing-processing device of the present invention comprises:
  • the clothing-processing device of the present invention without complicating a configuration for turnably supporting the lid body with the hinge, a risk that the fingers of the user or the accompanying person such as the child are placed and caught in the gap between the lid body and the casing can be reduced. Further, the lid body can be opened by a large angle. Therefore, safety and the handleability of the clothing-processing device are improved.

  • the one end of the substantially L shape coupling member provided in the hinge (one end of the first part) is fixed to the opening edge of the casing, and the end edge of the lid body is turnably supported at the other end (front end of the second part). Further, the front end of the second part of the coupling member is positioned in the recess shape cutout formed in the end edge of the lid body, and the second part is accommodated in the cutout when the lid body is closed. Thereby, a turn axis of the end edge of the lid body can be arranged so as to be close to the opening edge of the casing, so that a gap between the end edge of the lid body and the casing can be reduced.
  • the clothing-processing device according to the first aspect, wherein the lid body is further provided with a claw formed in an outer end on the side of the cutout, a hole is formed in the second part of the coupling member, and when the lid body is opened, the claw is freely fitted into the hole thereby regulating an opening angle of the lid body.
  • the claw is formed in an outer edge on the side of the cutout formed in the lid body.
  • the user or the accompanying person such as the child can be prevented from placing the fingers in the cutout by error.
  • the lid body is opened, the claw is freely fitted to the hole of the second part, and the opening angle of the lid body can be regulated.
  • the handleability of the clothing-processing device is improved.
  • the clothing-processing device according to the first or second aspect, wherein when the lid body is closed, the claw protrudes from the outer end on the side of the cutout toward the casing in such a manner that a gap between the outer end on the side of the cutout of the lid body and the opening edge of the casing is reduced.
  • the gap between the outer end on the side of the cutout of the lid body and the opening edge of the casing is reduced by the claw.
  • the fingers of the user or the accompanying person such as the child can be prevented from being placed and caught in the gap, so that the safety is improved.
