BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a so-called integrated air conditioner, and more particularly to an improvement in an exhaust duct.

0002

[Prior Art] Conventionally, in an integrated air conditioner, one end of an exhaust duct is attached to the exhaust port of an outdoor blower, and the other end of the exhaust duct is attached to a window panel attached to a window. The exhaust gas is vented outdoors. It is conceivable to use the exhaust air from this outdoor side blower to dry laundry, but since the exhaust duct is formed in a bellows shape so that the air blowing direction can be easily changed, the air blowing direction can be directed upward. Even if the exhaust duct was bent at a substantially right angle, the exhaust duct could not support its own weight, and laundry could not be dried efficiently.
