And inside the home, it is assumed, for example, that the drainage structure is formed on the left side and the exhaust structure is formed on the right side. In this case, it is preferable that the washing machine is installed on the left side and the dryer installed on the right side.
[15] However, in some cases, the drainage structure and the exhaust structure are interchanged depending on the internal design of the house. In this case, the installation positions of the washing machine and the dryer should be changed. However, when the back splashes of the washing machine and the dryer are formed to have semi-circular or partial arc shapes when both of them are installed side by side, when the position is changed as described above, a considerable problem in appearance is exposed.
[16] For example, as shown in FIG. 3, when the washing machine and the dryer are to be installed with their positions changed, the back splash 8 of the washing machine and the back splash 18 of the dryer do not fit together. do.
[17] That is, as shown in Figure 3, when the washing machine and the dryer are arranged, each splash (8, 18) is inevitably arranged in a shape that does not match each other. For example, in FIG. 3, when the positions of the back splashes 8 and 18 are changed, the two parts may be combined to form a partial arc shape, so that the washing machine and the dryer may have a sense of integration.
[18] The object of the present invention is to configure the backsplash to be combined with each other in the washing machine and the dryer, so that even if the installation position of the washing machine and the dryer is changed, the combined backsplash can have an appearance in which the respective backsplashes are integrated. The main purpose is to provide.
