Description

[Detailed description of the invention] This invention relates to a mounting structure for towel racks, etc., and is a mounting structure that does not require mounting screws or the like on a supporting surface supported by the outer casing or wall of a washing machine or other equipment. It is an object of the present invention to provide a structure that is inexpensive, easy to attach and detach, and can improve workability, and also has a strong structure with a double structure of the supporting part.

Taking the case of a washing machine as an example of the conventional mounting structure for a towel rack, etc., as shown in Fig. 3, it is screwed into the hole 21 of the towel rack 1 with a screw 19 through the hole 20 from the back side of the outer casing 2, etc. The structure was such that it was supported and fixed. However, with this structure, the screws must be operated from the back side of the outer casing, which is difficult to work with and increases the cost.Moreover, when replacing towel racks, etc., the tank, etc. must be removed from the outer casing. There were other difficulties.

The present invention is an improvement on the above-mentioned drawbacks of the conventional example, and the structure thereof will be explained below with reference to the drawings of a washing machine shown as an embodiment.

In Figure 1, 1 is a towel rack, and 2 is the outer casing of the washing machine.
The support is fixed. Reference numeral 3 denotes a washing tub and a dehydrating tub, which are installed inside the outer casing 2 and fixed with screws 4.

As shown in detail in FIG. 2, the support surface 5 of the towel rack 1 supported by the outer casing 2 is provided with a locking portion 8 in which a retaining portion 6 and a neck portion 7 that is thinner than the retaining portion are integrally formed to protrude. A hanging piece 10 that can be bent and overlapped via a hinge part 9 is provided below the support surface 5, and a hole 11 and a locking pin 12 are formed at symmetrical positions with the hinge part as the center. The hole 11 was provided at a position where the locking pin 12 penetrated and protruded from the support surface when the hanging pieces were bent and overlapped. Note that the hanging piece 10 is bent upward from the hinge part 9,
The lower end portion 13 is arranged to be close to the lower end surface 14 of the towel rack 1. On the other hand, the outer casing 2 in which the towel rack 1 is supported has an engagement hole in which a hole 15 through which the retaining part 6 can be inserted and a long hole 16 through which the neck part 7 is slid and locked are continuously formed. 17, and a locking hole 18 was provided at a position corresponding to the locking pin 12. Therefore, the locking part 6 of the locking part 8 of the towel rack 1 is connected to the outer casing 2.
It is inserted into the hole 15 of the engagement hole 17 of the towel rail 1, and is slid in the direction of the elongated hole 16, and is supported to the outer casing 2 by the neck portion 7 formed by the locking portion 8 and the support surface 5 of the towel rack 1, and the elongated hole 16 A locking portion 8 is brought into contact with the end portion of the holder. Furthermore, since a locking hole 18 for the locking pin 12 is provided in the outer casing 2 facing the hole 11 of the hanging piece 10, the hanging piece 10 can be bent using the hinge part 9 as a fulcrum and placed on the support surface 5 through the hole 11. By locking the protruding locking pin 12 into the locking hole 18, reliable support is achieved.

Since the present invention has the above-mentioned configuration, the outer casing 2
The towel rack 1, etc. is supported and fixed by the engaging hole 17 and the locking hole 19 of the outer casing 2, the locking part 8 of the towel rack 1, etc., and the locking pin 12 of the hanging piece 10, respectively. Therefore, the support is reliable, and it can be easily attached and detached from the surface of the outer casing 2 without using screws, resulting in a structure that is inexpensive and has good workability. Further, the hanging piece 10 and the locking pin 12 are integrally formed through the hinge part 9, so that when the locking pin 12 is locked in the hole 18 of the outer casing, the lower end surface 13 of the hanging piece 10 is connected to the lower end surface 14 of the towel rack 1. By placing the hanging pieces 10 close to each other, the hanging pieces 10 have a double structure and are strong in strength.

It should be noted that the present invention is not limited to the above-mentioned embodiment, but may include making only the locking pin 12 a separate structure,
Further, the design may be changed as appropriate, such as by making the hinge part and the parts below the hanging piece separate, forming a locking pin thereon, and fitting it into the outer casing.
