Description of the Related Art Conventionally, when pulling out laundry from a washing tub of a washing machine, a user extends his or her hand up to a deep bottom of the washing tub and pulls out the laundry upward. Since the bottom of the washing tub is deep, it was necessary to put hands deep, and it was necessary to bring the body close to the washing machine when taking out the laundry. For this reason, if the user is a pregnant woman, the large belly hits the washing machine, and it is difficult to take out the laundry. Moreover, the laundry of the washing machine contains water and becomes heavy, and the laundry had to be pulled up by the user and taken out. Furthermore, the laundry is often intertwined with each other, and in this case, the laundry must be taken out while being intertwined, which is a burden to the user. Especially for a pregnant woman, she has to take out the laundry in an unnatural posture due to a large tummy, which is a heavy burden.

ないようにする。In the tilting device of the present invention, the washing machine is first placed on the table in the storage space, and fixed by the fixing means so as not to move. During washing, use the washing machine upright,
When the laundry is taken out after washing, the user operates the manual operation section of the tilting mechanism to tilt the table forward by the tilting mechanism, tilts the washing machine on the table forward, and holds the washing machine by the holding means. It is held in a tilted state. With the inclination of the washing machine, the user can stand in front of the washing tub and slide the laundry out while keeping it in contact with the inner surface of the washing tub. Even if you have to take out several laundry items at a time by entangled with each other, you need less power to take them out. The user can easily take it out regardless of pregnancy, old people or children. Also, since the user stands in front of the opening of the washing tub, it is easy for the user to see the inside of the washing tub. Even if the user is away from the washing machine, the posture does not become unreasonable, and even if the user is a pregnant woman, there is no need to worry about getting hungry and it can be performed easily. When the laundry is taken out, the holding means is released, and the table is returned to the horizontal state by returning to the vertical state by the weight of the washing machine or the vertical state by the tilting mechanism, and the washing machine is returned to the original vertical state. According to the invention as set forth in claim 4, a front plate for closing a part or all of the front opening of the storage body is attached to the front peripheral edge of the table, and the front plate supports the washing machine when the washing machine is tilted. , More stable tilting can be performed. If the lock mechanism is provided, even if a child, another person, or the user mistakenly operates the manual operation section of the tilting mechanism, the tilting of the washing machine is prevented and the washing machine is not injured. In the lock mechanism according to the fifth aspect of the invention, the lock pin is retracted by pulling the safety lever, and the lock pin is completely pulled out from the locking hole to close a part or all of the front opening of the storage body. The lock of the front plate attached to the front peripheral edge of the table is released, and the washing machine can be tilted. After the washing machine is returned from the tilted state to the vertical state, the lock pin is again fitted into the locking hole to restrain the front plate and prevent the tilting mechanism from operating.

止穴２７に嵌入し自動的にロック状態となる。As a result, the table 6 has a pair of arms 16
Thus, the washing machine 32 is held in a tilted state, and the washing machine 32 is held in a tilted state of 30 degrees forward from the front opening 4 of the storage body 2. The user turns to the front and takes out the laundry 32 from the washing tub 32. Since the user puts his / her hand into the washing tub 33 not diagonally but into the washing tub 33, it is not necessary to press the body against the washing machine 32, and even pregnant women can easily take out the laundry without the stomach hitting the washing machine 32. I can go. Also, since the laundry can be pulled out while sliding along the surface of the washing tub 33, the laundry is entangled with the laundry that has become heavy and contains other water, and a plurality of laundry can be taken out at once. Even in the case of taking out the laundry while reducing the weight of the laundry, even pregnant women, elderly people and children with weak strength can easily take out the laundry, which is not a burden. After the laundry is taken out, the user turns to the side surface of the storage body 2, steps on the foot lever 17 once, and then pulls out the foot lever 17 toward the user side in that state to linearly move the foot lever 17. Returning to this, the foot lever 17 is separated from the engaging portion 21, and the table 6 under the weight of the washing machine 32 is about to tilt horizontally. Therefore, the foot lever 17 is gradually stepped vertically while stepping on it with the foot. The table 6 is returned to the horizontal state by rotating it, and the washing machine 32 is returned to the standing state. In this case, since the lock pin 25 of the locking tool 24 has an inclined surface on the side of the storage space 5 as shown in FIG. 8, when the front plate 7 is returned to the vertical state, the lock pin 25 is located on the side surface of the storage body 2. Therefore, the front plate 7 is retracted into the front plate 7 and does not hinder the rotation of the front plate 7 table 6 to the horizontal state. After that, the lock pin 25 is fitted into the locking hole 27 and is automatically locked.

Example 2 shown in FIG. 11 is an example in which the front plate 7 of the tilting device 1 of Example 1 is removed. Since the supporting force for supporting the own weight of the washing machine 32 is lost when the front plate 7 is tilted by the amount removed, it is necessary to firmly connect the table 6 and the washing machine 32 as a fixing means, and the screw 36 is used. Table 6 and washing machine 3
A support string 35 is attached to the back surface of the upper portion of the washing machine 32 to connect the inner surface of the storage body 2 to the inner surface of the storage body 2. Other symbols, configurations, and operational effects are the same as those in the first embodiment.

洗濯機の傾動を防ぎ、安全性のあるものとなった。According to the present invention, since the washing machine can be held in a state of being inclined forward, it is not necessary for the user to bring his / her body close to the washing machine when the laundry is taken out. Even pregnant women can take out their laundry very easily without having to get hungry when taking them out. In addition, the laundry will be pulled out while it is in contact with the washing tub, and the heavy laundry containing water can be easily taken out with a small pulling force, and the user is a pregnant woman or an elderly person with weak strength.・ Even children can do it very easily, and the burden on the user is greatly reduced. With the invention provided with the lock mechanism, the washing machine can be prevented from tilting even if the human-powered operation unit of the tilting mechanism is operated by mistake, which is safe.
