Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] Industrial Application Field The present invention relates to a hose fixing device used for supplying water to a water tank of a washing machine or other container using a hose.

Construction of conventional examples and their problems In general, this type of hose fixture is formed into a substantially U-shape as shown in Fig. 1, and the end of one piece of the main body 1, which has a clamping function due to elasticity, is attached at a nearly right angle. A bent piece 2 was provided, and a hose insertion hole 3 was formed in this piece 2.

For example, when this fixture is used in a two-tub type washing machine, it is clamped and fixed to the upper edge of the plate of the washing machine body 4 to guide the hose 5, as shown in Fig. 2. When used in a washing machine, it is used by being clamped to the rim of the input port 6 as shown in FIG.

By the way, there is no problem when used as shown in FIG. 2, but when used as shown in FIG. 3, after the hose 5 is inserted into the hose insertion hole 3, the hose 5 must be guided into the tank for a long time. Must be.

That is, if the guide length of the hose 5 is short, the hose 5 will extend horizontally due to water pressure, and the supplied water will be scattered around.

Therefore, its handling was troublesome.

Purpose of the invention In view of this problem, an object of the present invention is to provide a hose fixing device that can securely fix a hose even when the end of the hose cannot be fixed and is easy to handle.

Structure of the invention In order to achieve this object, the present invention has a bent piece having a closed hose insertion hole at the tip of one of the two opposing pieces of the U-shaped body, and has a C-shaped hose insertion hole. An auxiliary piece is rotatably provided on the shoulder of the main body.

DESCRIPTION OF EMBODIMENTS An embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to FIGS. 4 and 5.

In the figure, 7 is a main body formed in a substantially U-shape and has a clamping function, and has a bent piece 8 projecting outward at right angles at the tip of one piece 7a, and a hose insertion hole 9 in the piece 8. is formed. An auxiliary piece 11 is pivotally attached to the shoulder of the other piece 7b of the main body 7, and a partially cut out C-shaped hose insertion hole 10 is provided in this auxiliary piece 11. 11
is rotated between a first position substantially along the piece 7b (the position shown by the solid line in FIG. 4) and a second position (the position shown in FIG. 5) almost opposite the bent piece 8. It is possible. Note that this hose insertion hole 10 is formed in a C shape so that a hose can be passed through from the side.

When the hose fixing device having the above structure is used in a two-tub type washing machine, it is attached in the same manner as before, but when it is used in a single-tub type washing machine, it is attached as shown in Fig. 5. That is, the main body 7 is placed so that the folded piece 8 stands upright on the upper plate surface of the washing machine and the auxiliary piece 11 faces the tub 12 side.
is clamped on the rim of the input port 13. The hose 14 is then inserted into the two hose insertion holes 9 and 10. In this case, since the hose 14 is passed through the hose insertion hole 10 of the auxiliary piece 11 on the tank 12 side, it will not become horizontal due to water pressure, and of course there is no need to pass the hose 14 through for a long time, so it is easy to handle. becomes convenient. Further, if the hose insertion hole 10 of the auxiliary piece 11 is formed into a C-shape with a portion cut out as in this embodiment, the insertion of the hose 14 becomes convenient.

Effects of the invention As explained above, the present invention provides a closed hose insertion hole at the tip of one piece of the U-shaped main body, and rotates the auxiliary piece with the C-shaped hose insertion hole to the shoulder of the main body. Since it is provided freely, if you cannot connect the bent piece with the hose insertion hole of the U-shaped main body to the water outlet side of the hose, you can raise the auxiliary piece that is rotatably provided on the shoulder of the main body. It becomes possible to fix the vicinity of the end of the hose, and in the opposite case, it becomes possible to provide a hose fixing device that allows unnecessary auxiliary pieces to be folded out of the way. Also, this auxiliary piece is C
The shaped insertion hole makes it possible to provide a hose fixing tool that allows the hose to be easily attached.
