JPS598703Y2 - washing machine pan - Google Patents

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to a washing machine pan, and more particularly, to an improvement in the mounting structure of the washing machine pan to an installation surface.

Conventionally, in this type of washing machine pan, support legs are fitted into the four corners of the bottom opening between the lower end of the apron section, which hangs downward from the inner wall of the pan body via the upper rim, and its upright wall. The support legs were then fixed to the installation surface using double-sided tape or the like.

Therefore, if the accuracy of the washing machine pan body is slightly out of order, the support legs may not fit securely, causing wobbling, or the support legs may become stuck after being positioned at a predetermined location on the installation surface during installation. After that, the main body of the washing machine pan must be fitted, making the work difficult and other drawbacks.

The present invention aims to solve the above-mentioned drawbacks and to provide a washing machine pan that can be easily and simply installed and fixed in a reliable manner.

The basic structure for achieving this purpose is to provide support legs that fit into the corners of the bread body from above, and contact pieces that touch the left and right apron parts adjacent to the corners of the bread body, The supporting piece is newly bent from the upper end of the abutment piece toward the bread body to support the apron part and the inner wall of the bread body, and the protruding piece protrudes from the lower end of the abutment piece. The protruding piece is fixed to the installation surface of the pan body.

An example of implementing the present invention will be described below based on the drawings.

In the figure, A is the main body of a washing machine pan, and an apron part 3 is suspended from the surrounding side wall 4 made of reinforced plastic or the like via an upper rim 5, and each of the four corners of the pan main body A is Fit the support leg 1 into the corner 2 of.

The support leg 1 is composed of an abutting piece 6, a clamping piece 7, and a protruding piece 8.

As shown in FIG. 3, the abutment piece 6 has an L-shaped cross section so as to abut the left and right apron parts 3, 3 adjacent to each other at each of the four corners 2 of the bread body A. A clamping piece 7 is integrally formed on the upper end of the contact piece 6, and a protruding piece 8 is integrally formed on the lower end.

The clamping piece 7 has a pressing piece 9 that comes into contact with the upper surface of the upper edge rim 5.
and a bent piece 10 that abuts the upper end of the side wall 4, and the protruding piece 8 projects outward from the lower end of the abutting piece 6 in the shape of a brim.

To briefly explain how to attach the washing machine pan main body A to the installation surface a using the support legs 1 shaped like this, first, the washing machine pan main body A is placed on the predetermined installation surface a. Then, the support legs 1 are fitted from the outside to each of the four corners 2 of the washing machine pan main body A, and the bent pieces 10 of the abutment piece 6 and the clamping piece 7 are connected to the apron part 3 and the upper inner surface of the side wall 4. to hold.

Then, by screwing the protruding piece 8 at the lower end of the abutting piece 6 onto the installation surface a with a screw 12 or the like, the pressing piece 9 of the clamping piece 7 presses the upper surface 13 of the upper rim 5. Then, the washing machine pan main body A is fixed on the installation surface a without being able to move up and down, and the installation work is completed.

In addition, 14 is a small hole for attaching the screw 12, and 15 is a drain port.

As described above, the present invention includes a contact piece that spans and abuts the left and right apron parts adjacent to the corners of the bread body, and a contact piece that is bent integrally from the upper end of the contact piece toward the bread body, and the apron part and the bread body are folded together. A support leg formed by integrally forming a supporting piece supporting the inner wall and a protruding piece protruding from the lower end of the abutting piece is fitted into a corner of the bread body from above. , since the protruding piece was fixed to the installation surface of the pan body,
To securely mount a washing machine pan body without being able to move up and down or back and forth by the easy and simple operation of attaching a support leg to at least one corner of the pan body in the form of a pedestal and fixing a protruding piece to the installation surface. Can be fixed.

Therefore, the installation work is greatly reduced compared to the conventional method, which requires the work of aligning and fixing the support legs to the installation surface, and then fitting the washing machine pan body, and there is no wobbling. .

In addition, since the support legs protect the corners where breakage is likely to occur from the outside, it can also be used as a washing machine pan with excellent durability that can be used for a long period of time.

Furthermore, since the washing machine pan body is held in such a way that it cannot move up and down or back and forth, vibrations generated when the washing machine rotates cause the pan body itself to vibrate slightly, and these vibrations generate noise. Also, the washing machine pan can always be fixed on the installation surface without applying excessive force to the connecting part of the drain pipe connecting the outlet of the pan main body and the washing machine.

Therefore, the intended purpose can be achieved.

[Brief explanation of the drawing]

FIG. 1 is a perspective view of the washing machine pan of the present invention, FIG. 2 is a perspective view of the support leg, which is the gist of the present invention, and FIG. 3 is a sectional view taken along the line X--X. In the figure, A is the pan body, a is the installation surface, 1 is the support leg, 2 is the corner, 3 is the apron part, 4 is the side wall, 5 is the upper rim,
6 is an abutting piece, 7 is a clamping piece, and 8 is a protruding piece.
