FIG. 1 is a perspective view showing an embodiment of a bucket according to the present invention, FIG. 2 is an enlarged assembly view showing the vicinity of a hose locking tool of the bucket shown in FIG. 1, and FIG. 3 is a hose connector of the bucket shown in FIG. FIG. 4 is a vertical cross-sectional view showing the vicinity of the stopper, and FIG. 4 is a perspective view showing another example of the hose locking tool.

As shown in FIG. 1, the bucket 1 according to the present invention has a bottomed cylindrical bucket body 2, and an arc-shaped handle 3 is pivoted on an upper edge 2a of the bucket body 2. It is attached freely. Further, as shown in FIG. 2, the upper end edge portion 2a of the bucket body 2 is provided with a locking tool storage groove 2c, and the hose locking tool 5 is provided in the locking tool storage groove 2c. As shown in FIG. 3, the motor is mounted so that it can be rotated 180 ° in the directions of arrows A and B about the axis CT1. As shown by the solid line in the figure, the hose locking tool 5 is in a state of being stored in the locking tool storage groove 2c when it is positioned at the rest position P1, and as shown by the one-dot chain line in the drawing, the operating position P2. When it is positioned at, it is in a state of horizontally projecting toward the center of the bucket body 2.

By the way, as shown in FIG. 2, the hose locking tool 5 is composed of a locking tool body 9, engaging projections 10 and 11, and locking projections 15 and 16. That is, the hose locking tool 5 has a locking tool main body 9 having a substantially C shape (that is, a shape in which a part of the hose locking tool is missing and the opening 9a is formed). The lower end of the ingredient body 9 is formed in a semi-cylindrical shape. Engagement projections 10 and 11 are formed on the left and right side surfaces of the locking tool body 9, respectively, and locking projections 15 and 16 are formed on the upper surface and the lower surface of the locking tool body 9, respectively.

The engagement protrusions 10 and 11 of the hose retainer 5 are respectively provided in two engagement holes 12 and 13 formed in the retainer receiving groove 2c of the bucket body 2 so as to face each other. It is inserted and engaged. Further, when the hose locking tool 5 is positioned at the rest position P1, one locking projection 15 is fitted and engaged in the locking groove 17 formed in the locking tool storage groove 2c of the bucket body 2. When the hose locking device 5 is positioned at the operating position P2, the other locking projection 16 is fitted and engaged with the locking groove 17.

Since the bucket 1 according to the present invention has the above-described structure, when the car 1 is washed using the bucket 1, the hose stopper 5 is positioned at the operating position P2 as shown in FIG.
