Travel washing machine with sink and water tank The previously hunted for motor vehicles washing equipment with water tank and wash bowl are too cumbersome to handle or insufficient and can be very difficult or impossible to accommodate. Therefore, they could introduce themselves neither for motor vehicles nor for other purposes nor as a travel washing machine in general, although for such a device with water tank in many cases an urgent need exists. As far as a heat was provided for the known washing devices with water tank and sink, it was attached to the water tank, which was time-consuming in use and the arrangement of the water tank again cumbersome designed or caused too much space stress.

The purpose of the invention is to remedy these shortcomings and to provide a travel washing machine with water tank and washbasin with the most compressed space, ease of accommodation and handling and general use for all types of vehicles and other travel purposes.

This is achieved in that the water tank formed at least with a part projecting into the washbasin and both parts are movable, preferably pivotally or easily detachably connected to each other. The water tank can be pivoted with a support frame or body b @ zw. be connected lockable, in which the sink is arranged easily removable. The washbasin and the water tank are provided with suitcase-like cladding or even designed as such, which have on one side a hinge connection and on the opposite side a lock or a closure and are also provided with carrying handle. The sink is formed with a flat bottom and provided on this with an electric heater, which is easily detachably connected via plug connections with the connecting cord to the power source.

In the drawing, some embodiments of the subject invention are schematically illustrated. 1 and 2 show an embodiment of the travel washing machine in side view and top view, Figs. 3 and 4 show another embodiment of the travel washing machine with support frame for the removable wash basin in side view and top view, Figs. 5 and Figure 6 shows another embodiment of the travel washing machine with electric heater for the sink in side view and on top, FinG. 7 shows a further embodiment of the travel washing device in a suspended position with the washing basin folded down in side view.

In Fig. I. And 2 i is the water tank with suitcase-like casing 2, hanging hook 3, 4 Einfüllverschraubung, air inlet valve 5, outlet 6 with rotary valve closure 7 and containers 8 and 9 for soap, towel or other washing utensils and io the sink or wash basin case-like casing ii, hinges 12 and locking or closure 13 and handle 14. In the area of ​​the hinges 12 and closures 13 are reinforcing tapes 15 around the suitcase-like linings and ii of metal or a non-metallic material, such as leather, fabric od. Like. Carried, laid around where the suspension hooks 3 are attached.

In Fig. 3 and 4, in Fig. I and 2 rectangular or square running washbasin io is designed as a round wash basin 16, which is clamped with its edge between a support ring 17 and the water tank i and arranged easily detachable. The support ring 17 is connected to the water tank i again by hinges 12 and closures or latches 13 hinged and closed. At the same time, a second washing bowl 18 fitting into the bowl 16 is provided. The number of nested bowls can be increased arbitrarily. The outer washing bowl 16 can be surrounded by a suitcase-like casing 11, which is rigidly connected to the supporting ring 17. This sheath ii can also be omitted. Likewise, the casing 2 for the water tank i can be omitted. The Einfüllverschraubung 4 with Lufteinlaßv entil is moved to the right upper edge of the water tank i, and this is slightly shortened on the hinge side, so that on the hinge side, a cavity for receiving containers for soap, towel and other washing utensils, the outward through a corresponding extension of the water tank wall or a special wall is covered up to the hinges 12. In this case, the containers 8 and 9 on the inside of the Wagser container can be omitted and the water tank i deeper into the wash bowls 16, 18 are formed projecting. The remaining parts are as shown in FIGS. 1 and 2 formed and arranged and provided with the same reference numerals. The reinforcing bands 15 extend only over part of the water tank i.

In Fig. 5 and 6 is again between a support ring 17 and the water tank i or whose suitcase-like casing 2 a correspondingly shaped wash bowl 2o disposed at the edges by clamping easily detachable, which is provided at its bottom with an electric heater 21 via a plug contact device 22, a line cord 23 and a plug-in contact device 24 in the case-like casing ii of the wash bowl 2o can be connected via a plug-in or fixed cord with a Heizstrornquelle in combination. The washing bowl 2o can be rectangular, square or round in shape. The water tank i with case-like sheath 2 extends again only across the width of the washing bowl and leaves on the hinge side a cavity for accommodating containers for soap, towel and other washing or toilet utensils free, provided with flaps or lid or removably arranged can. Einlaßverschraubung 4 with air inlet valve 5 and outlet 6 with 3-way shutter 7 are arranged as in the embodiment of FIGS. 3 and 4. The remaining parts of this travel washing machine with heating device for the washing bowl are formed as in the preceding figures and provided with the same reference numerals. In Fig.7 is a Rei.sewaschgerät of FIG. 5 and 6 with recesses 25 in the water tank wall or its suitcase-like casing 2 for hanging on hook 26 a vertical wall 27 reproduced. The washing bowl 2o is again held by a hinged by hinge 12 with the water tank i or its suitcase-like sheath support ring 17 and has on the hinge side a water outlet a8, from the fold-down of the support ring 17 with the wash bowl 2o the water contained in this down can drain into a drain or a container. The horizontal position of use of the retaining ring 17 and the washing bowl 2o can be secured by corresponding stops on the hinges 12. The washer can with the water tank or with this and the wash bowl, also wholly or partly deepened in vertical walls of vehicles, vehicle doors or. Other vehicle parts, fixed or detachable, z. B, suspended, can be arranged. With fixed attachment of both washing equipment parts (water tank and wash bowl) and the hinge connection between the two can be made easily detachable, so that the washing bowl from the water tank i can be removed to pour off the washing water. Detachable hinges can also be attached to the portable washing devices to facilitate the pouring out of the wash water with a fixed arrangement of the wash bowls in their suitcase-like sheaths. The water tanks i can be formed to fill the entire cavity of the washing bowl when the washing machine is closed. The washing bowl then only has to be shaped so that it can be swung away from the water container i if it is to be used for washing. It is advisable to make the water tank i only so large that its content is sufficient for one or two washes to the washing machine as a travel washing machine in connection with vehicles such as motor vehicles, buses, railways, aircraft, watercraft and also for general travel al: s Make your luggage as light and small as possible. Optionally, the water container and the washing vessel can be housed alone in hinged connection in other suitcases or luggage so as to be used only in such places or at times when a washing facility or at least washing water is not present. The water tank can then be refilled when reaching a waterhole.

In adaptation to the respective cases of practice, the washing machine can undergo numerous changes in shape, design and arrangement without departing from the scope of the invention. The washing machine is also suitable for installation in motor vehicles or other vehicles with a smaller space requirement and for unobtrusive attachment in rooms without water connection. The refilling of the water tank can then be done with other containers or by fixed or detachable connection with other water tanks by downslope or with pressure. The suitcase-like casing can be provided on the hinge side with pull-out or fold-out support members, which additionally support the washing device with the lid or water tank open and prevent it from tipping over in the wash position on the hinge side. The unfolded water tank can be secured in this position by supports, bands or stops.
