DRAIN HOSE ATTACHING STRUCTURE AND DRAIN HOSE FIXING TOOL FOR WASHING MACHINE

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To prevent the breakage of a drain hose by fixing the middle part of the drain hose housed in a housing of a washing machine in a plane view to a housing bottom inside of the housing at the time of connecting the exit of the drain hose of the washing machine to a drain equipment positioned just under the washing machine. SOLUTION: At the time of draining by installing the washing machine just over the draining equipment, the exit of the drain hose 9 housed the housing 1 is connected to the drain equipment such as a drain E or the like just under the housing 1 and, at this time, a fixing structure T for housing and fixing the hose 9 in the housing 1 is provided. This structure T consists of a fixing member 20 housing and fixing the hose 9 within the housing 1 and a guiding out hole 1d formed at the lower part of the side surface of the washing machine for taking out the hose 9 to outside at the time of normal draining. Then, the member 20 is surely fixed to the housing 1 by a housing engaging part and the hose 9 is surely fixed by a hose holding part.
