DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0032] Hereinafter, a small bathroom window for supplying bath water to a washing machine according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

[0033] (Configuration of a small bathroom window for supplying water to a washing machine and bath) First, the configuration of the small bathroom window for supplying bath water to a washing machine according to this embodiment will be described.

[0034] 1 shows a bathroom 12 and a washing machine room 14, which are part of a building 10. Windows 20 and 22 are provided in an exterior wall 16 of the building 10, and the bathroom 12 is provided at the corner of the building 10 that includes the window 20. In addition, the washing machine room 14 is provided next to the bathroom 12 along the exterior wall 16, and the window 22 is provided on the washing machine room 14 side.

[0035] A partition wall 18 is provided between the window section 20 and the window section 22 to separate the bathroom 12 from the washing machine room 14.

[0036] A bathtub 24 is provided along the exterior wall 16 on the window side 20 of the bathroom 12. A washing machine 26 can be placed on the opposite side of the bathtub 24, with the partition wall 18 in between.

[0037] As shown in Figure 2, in this embodiment, a circular insertion hole (small bathroom window for supplying bath water to a washing machine) 28 penetrates the partition wall 18 above the bathtub 24. A hose 30 that is connected to a washing machine 26 and can supply bath water can be inserted through this insertion hole 28. The remaining hot water in the bathtub (so-called bath water) can be used for laundry via this hose 30.

[0038] A lid portion 32 is provided on the washing machine compartment 14 side of the insertion hole 28, and the lid portion 32 allows the hose 30 to be inserted therethrough.

[0039] In this embodiment, the insertion hole 28 is formed so as to slope downward as it approaches the bathroom 12. Furthermore, an insertion member 34 is fitted into the insertion hole 28. The insertion member 34 is composed of a main body 36 and a flange 38. The main body 36 is, for example, cylindrical, and is formed along the inner edge of the insertion hole 28 and is housed within the insertion hole 28.

[0040] 3, main body 36 is formed to a size that can accommodate tip 30A of hose 30, and tip 30A of hose 30 is accommodated within main body 36. Meanwhile, flange 38 is formed on the bathroom 12 side of main body 36 and is formed to abut against partition wall 18.

[0041] 4, in this embodiment, the lid portion 32 is configured to include a cutout portion 40 and an elastic member 42. The cutout portion 40 is formed by cutting out a U-shape downward in the upper portion 32A of the lid portion 32, and the elastic member 42 is provided within the cutout portion 40.

[0042] The elastic member 42 is formed with a hole 44 having an inner diameter smaller than the outer diameter of the hose 30. A plurality of notches 46 are cut outward from the center O of the hole 44, and when the hose 30 is inserted, the notches 46 cause the elastic member 42 to expand in diameter, and the elastic member 42 is pressed against the outer peripheral surface of the hose 30.

[0043] In addition, in this embodiment, as shown in Figure 3, the partition wall 18 is provided with a hook 48 for storing the bath cover 50 of the bathtub 24 provided in the bathroom 12 by leaning it against the partition wall 18, and the insertion hole 28 is provided on the lower side of the hook 48.

[0044] (Action and effect of small bathroom window for washing machine bath water supply) Next, the operation and effect of the small bathroom window for supplying bath water to a washing machine according to this embodiment will be described.

[0045] In this embodiment, as shown in Figure 2, an insertion hole 28 is formed above the bathtub 24 in the partition wall 18 that separates the bathroom 12 from the washing machine compartment 14. A hose 30 capable of supplying bathwater can be inserted into this insertion hole 28. A cover 32 is provided on the washing machine compartment 14 side of the insertion hole 28, allowing the hose 30 to be inserted therethrough.

[0046] In this way, by providing a lid portion 32 on the insertion hole 28 connecting the bathroom 12 and the washing machine compartment 14, it is possible to prevent moisture in the bathroom 12 from moving toward the washing machine compartment 14.

[0047] In this embodiment, the hose 30 can be inserted through the lid 32, and the lid 32 is provided on the washing machine compartment 14 side of the insertion hole 28. In other words, in this embodiment, the lid 32 is not provided on the bathroom 12 side of the insertion hole 28.

[0048] Therefore, when using a bathtub pump (not shown), the hose 30 inside the insertion hole 28 can be pushed toward the bathroom 12, allowing the tip 30A of the hose 30 to enter the bathtub 24 located below the insertion hole 28.

[0049] That is, in this embodiment, there is no need to enter bathroom 12 to place hose 30 inside bathroom 12, and hose 30 can be placed directly into bathtub 24 from the washing machine compartment 14. Therefore, in this embodiment, a bathtub pump (not shown) can be used without entering bathroom 12.

[0050] In this embodiment, insertion hole 28 is formed to slope downward as it approaches bathroom 12. This allows water droplets and the like inside insertion hole 28 to flow out toward bathroom 12, but prevents the water droplets and the like from flowing out toward washing machine compartment 14.

[0051] Furthermore, in this embodiment, an insertion member 34 is fitted into the insertion hole 28. This insertion member 34 is configured to include a main body portion 36 and a flange portion 38. The main body portion 36 is cylindrical, is formed along the inner edge of the insertion hole 28, and is housed within the insertion hole 28.

[0052] Furthermore, flange portion 38 is provided on the bathroom 12 side of main body portion 36 and abuts against partition wall 18. In this embodiment, flange portion 38 makes it possible to fill the gap between partition wall 18 and insertion hole 28.

[0053] 4, the cover 32 is provided with an elastic member 42. The elastic member 42 has a hole 44 formed therein, the hole 44 having an inner diameter smaller than the outer diameter of the hose 30.

[0054] A plurality of notches 46 are provided from the center O of this hole 44 outward, and when the hose 30 is inserted, the notches 46 cause the elastic member 42 to expand in diameter, so that the elastic member 42 is pressed against the outer peripheral surface of the hose 30.

[0055] As a result, in this embodiment, it is possible to close gaps around hose 30 and prevent moisture in bathroom 12 from moving toward washing machine compartment 14. Furthermore, because elastic member 42 is pressed against the outer peripheral surface of hose 30, water droplets and the like adhering to the outer peripheral surface of hose 30 can be removed when hose 30 is pulled into washing machine compartment 14, making it possible to prevent water droplets and the like from entering washing machine compartment 14.

[0056] Here, in this embodiment, the lid portion 32 is configured to include a cutout portion 40 and an elastic member 42, and the cutout portion 40 is formed by cutting out the upper portion 32A of the lid portion 32 toward the downward side, and the elastic member 42 is provided within the cutout portion 40.

[0057] In this way, by providing a cutout portion 40 in the lid portion 32 and providing an elastic member 42 within the cutout portion 40, in this embodiment, the elastic member 42 can be arranged on the same plane as the lid portion 32, making it possible to form these components compactly.

[0058] In this embodiment, as shown in Figure 3, the partition wall 18 is provided with a hook 48 for storing the bath cover 50 by leaning it against the partition wall 18. An insertion hole 28 through which the hose 30 can be inserted is provided below the hook 48.

[0059] In this embodiment, since there is no cover portion 32 on the bathroom 12 side, the insertion hole 28 through which the hose 30 is inserted is visible from the bathroom 12 side. However, when bathing, by storing the bath cover 50 of the bathtub 24 by leaning it against the partition wall 18 using the hook 48, the insertion hole 28 becomes invisible, and it is possible to prevent the exposure of the insertion hole 28 from spoiling the aesthetic appearance.

[0060] 4, in the above embodiment, a hole 44 is formed in the elastic member 42 provided on the cover 32, and a plurality of notches 46 are provided outward from the center O of the hole 44. When the hose 30 is inserted, the notches 46 cause the elastic member 42 to expand in diameter and press against the outer circumferential surface of the hose 30, but the present invention is not limited to this.

[0061] For example, the elastic member does not necessarily need to have holes 44. As a first modification, as in elastic member 52 shown in Fig. 5(A), a plurality of cutouts 54 may be formed radially outward from the axis P (see Fig. 5(B)) of hose 30 to be inserted.

[0062] In this case, as shown in Figure 5 (B), when the hose 30 is inserted, the cut portion 54 causes the elastic member 52 to expand in diameter, thereby pressing the elastic member 52 against the outer peripheral surface of the hose 30.

[0063] In the above embodiment, as shown in Fig. 4, the hole 44 is formed in one elastic member 42, but this is not limiting. For example, as a second modification, as shown in Fig. 6(B), an elastic member 56 may be configured to include an upper pressure contact portion 58 and a lower pressure contact portion 60.

[0064] In this case, as shown in Figure 6(A), the upper pressure contact portion 58 is provided on the washing machine compartment 14 side of the partition wall 18, and the lower pressure contact portion 60 is provided on the lid portion 62. When the lid portion 62 is closed, the lower pressure contact portion 60 is integrated with the upper pressure contact portion 58, and the upper pressure contact portion 58 and the lower pressure contact portion 60 form a hole 64 (see Figure 6(B)) through which the hose 30 can be inserted.

[0065] In addition, in this embodiment, the insertion hole 28 is circular and the main body 36 of the insertion member 34 is cylindrical, but this is not limiting. For example, the insertion hole 28 may be rectangular. In this case, the main body 36 of the insertion member 34 is rectangular.

[0066] The above describes an embodiment of the present invention, but the present invention is not limited to the above, and it goes without saying that the present invention can be implemented in various other modified forms within the scope of the gist of the present invention.
