Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a washing machine which can be stacked at the time of storage to greatly reduce the storage space and improve workability.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, for example, in a control machine described in Japanese Utility Model Laid-Open No. 4-27564, a structure in which a handle formed by bending an L-shape is rotatable is shown.
This is intended to improve the operability by making the throttle lever attached to the handle closer to the operator's hand when working with the body of the pest control machine on his back. It is not based on the intention of compactly folding.

Further, in the power spraying device disclosed in Japanese Utility Model Laid-Open No. 4-48843, a first frame on which a power sprayer or the like is mounted and a second frame on which a winding wheel or the like is mounted are provided. It has been proposed that the hinges be pivotally coupled to each other so that the second frame is located above the first frame during movement and storage to make it compact, but it is said that the handle is folded. The technical idea is not shown.

[0004]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION Here, according to the present invention, when the washing machines are stored, they are stacked to each other.
It is intended to significantly reduce the storage space,
Also, it is intended to stabilize the stacked state.
Further, the main body of the washing machine is provided with a frame for mounting a water absorption tank to improve workability.

[0005]

A washing machine according to claim 1 has a prime mover (2) mounted on a prime mover (6) and a pump (7) and equipped with wheels (1) on both outer sides. The auxiliary handle (5) is erected on the other end side of the handle (4), and at the folding position of the main handle (4) that can be folded in the direction of the auxiliary handle (5), the main handle (4) The folding part (11) is configured to abut on the auxiliary handle (5) while keeping it substantially horizontal, and the washing machine in which the main handle is folded can be stacked in two or more stages for storage. The space is reduced and a water absorption tank can be mounted on the bent portion (11) during work.

According to a second aspect of the present invention, in the washing machine of the first aspect, the underframe portion (3) of the carriage (2) is provided.
When a washing machine of the same shape is stacked on the washing machine in which the handlebar (8) having a substantially inverted U-shape is projected downward, and the main handle (4) is folded, The handle holder (8) of the washing machine above the main handle (4) is locked to ensure the vertical and front-back stability of the stacked washing machines in each stage.

According to a third aspect of the present invention, in the washing machine according to the first or second aspect, when the washing machines of the same shape are stacked on the washing machine having the main handle (4) folded up, The wheels (1) of the truck (2) of the washer of the invention are adapted to be engaged with both outsides of the bent portion (11) of the main handle (4) of the lower washer and are stacked. Ensure the stability of the washing machine at each stage in the left-right direction.

[0008]

BEST MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. First, in FIGS. 1 and 2, a bogie 2 provided with wheels 1 on both outer sides includes an underframe portion 3
And a main handle 4 and an auxiliary handle 5 that are erected on one end side and the other end side of the carriage 21. In this case, it is desirable that the dolly 2 is formed of a hollow pipe.

A prime mover 6 and a pump 7, which are components of the washing machine, are mounted on the underframe 3 of the bogie 2, and the underframe 3 has a substantially inverted U-shape downward. A handle receiver 8 is provided so as to project, and a supporting leg 9 for keeping the underframe portion 3 substantially horizontal is attached near the end opposite to the side where the wheel 1 is supported.

The main handle 4 forms a pivotal support 10 at a portion corresponding to the top of the auxiliary handle 5 when viewed in the horizontal direction, and thus the main handle 4 is provided with the pivotal support 10.
When the bent portion 11 is bent through, the end of the bent portion 11 is kept substantially horizontal so that it is brought into contact with the auxiliary handle 5. The state is shown in FIG. At the time of work, a water absorption tank can be mounted on the bent portion 11 to improve workability.

FIG. 4 is a stack of the washing machines showing such a folded position. In this case, the handle receiver 8 of the washing machine located on the upper side is the folded main handle 4 of the washing machine on the lower side. The wheel 1 of the upper washer is locked to the tip of the bent portion 11 and engages with both outsides of the bent portion 11 of the main handle 4 of the lower washer.

As shown in FIG. 4, in the state where the washing machines are stacked in two stages, the main handle 4 is attached to the auxiliary handle 5 so that the tip of the main handle 4 contacts the auxiliary handle 5. Form a sloped portion 12 toward.

Although FIG. 4 shows a state in which the washing machines are stacked in two stages, they can be stacked in three or more stages if necessary, and thus the storage space can be further reduced. is there.

[0014]

According to the washing machine having the above-described structure of the present invention, since the washing machines can be stacked at the time of storage, the storage space can be greatly reduced, and a water absorption tank can be mounted on the washing machine main body. It has the effect of enhancing the sex.
