[0004]

In the conventional structure as described above, in order to perform washing, the washing machine itself must be transported to the place where the water supply means or the place where the drainage means is provided together with the drive unit. In addition, when the clothes after washing are transferred to a general washing machine or the like, it is necessary to transfer them to another container such as a bucket.

Further, the recent trend of household washing machines is shifting from a two-tub type washing machine to a fully automatic washing machine, and further, popular type washing machines have various washing functions. However, the washing machine has become versatile, and clothes that are hygienic such as underwear and towels, as well as soiled items such as rags and socks must be washed in the same washing machine. From the viewpoint of hygiene, there is an increasing demand for a washing machine that can easily wash only heavily soiled items before washing.

[0006] In addition, due to the recent trend toward cleanliness, clothes are not as dirty as they used to be, and as a whole, clothes that are not so dirty are increasing. However, clothes that are extremely dirty, such as children's socks, still exist,
Although the amount is small, there is still a strong need to wash it thoroughly. It is possible to wash with a large-sized washing machine, but because it is large, it consumes a large amount of water and detergent,
The number of washings will also increase. Therefore, it has been awaited to develop a washing machine which can be easily washed with only a dirty one and is easy to use.

Furthermore, due to the recent housing situation, even in the storage place, even if the washing machine is as small as the former washing machine, it takes a space to store the washing machine. For this reason, it is necessary to develop a washing machine with excellent storability.

Further, with the recent diversification of clothes, particularly in women's underwear, the number of delicate clothes which are deformed and discolored when collectively washed with a fully automatic washing machine is increasing. For this reason, despite the evolution of washing machines, appliances such as buckets and tarais that are used as simple washing means still exist in homes, and people often wash clothes by hand. In addition to delicate items, buckets are also used for bleaching and gluing cutter shirts, pet clothes and wipes, and car washing, and in the washing process, washing water may touch the hands and cause rough hands.

The present invention solves the above-mentioned conventional problems. The washing tub and the driving side base are separated so that they can be removably attached to facilitate the handling, and to prepare for washing and after-washing. The purpose is to improve operability such as processing.

[0010]

In order to achieve the above-mentioned object, the present invention is detachably mountable on a drive-side base having a rotary drive installed therein and on the upper surface of the drive-side base with an upper opening. The washing tub is composed of a stirring wing that rotatably stirs clothes on the inner bottom, the stirring wing is attached to the upper end of the shaft that penetrates the bottom of the washing tub, and the lower end of the shaft.
