Abstract

A water-conducting domestic appliance, in particular a domestic dishwasher, includes a first retaining device which is arranged on an outer wall and which is provided to hold a pipe on the outer wall when the domestic appliance is in operation. The outer wall has an aperture through which the hose is guided, with the first retaining device being arranged above the aperture.

First claim

The invention claimed is:

1. A water-conducting domestic appliance, comprising:
an outer wall which defines an exposed exterior surface of the domestic appliance;
a hose; and
a first retaining device arranged on the exposed exterior surface of the outer wall of the domestic appliance and configured to hold the hose against the exposed exterior surface of the outer wall during operation of the domestic appliance,
wherein the outer wall has an aperture which opens to the exposed exterior surface and through which the hose is guided, said first retaining device being arranged above the aperture,
wherein the first retaining device comprises a first hose clip and a second hose clip, the first hose clip and the second hose clip being configured as a single piece with the outer wall,
wherein the second hose clip is tilted at an angle with respect to the first hose clip,
wherein the tilt of the second hose clip in relation to the first hose clip is oriented in such a manner that a side of the second hose clip facing the first hose clip is higher than a side of the second hose clip facing a first side wall of the domestic appliance in a vertical direction of the domestic appliance, and
wherein the first hose clip and the second hose clip are configured and arranged to hold respective segments of the hose running in an inverted U shape.

2. The domestic appliance of claim 1 , constructed in the form of a domestic dishwasher.

3. The domestic appliance of claim 1 , wherein the hose is a drain hose.

4. The domestic appliance of claim 1 , wherein the outer wall is a rear outer wall of the domestic appliance.

5. The domestic appliance of claim 1 , further comprising a base sump, said first retaining device being configured in one piece with the base sump.

6. The domestic appliance of claim 1 , further comprising a base support, said first retaining device being configured in one piece with the base support.

7. The domestic appliance of claim 1 , wherein the outer wall has a first recess, said first retaining device being arranged in a region of the first recess of the outer wall, said outer wall being recessed in a direction of an internal chamber of the domestic appliance in the region of the first recess.

8. The domestic appliance of claim 1 , further comprising a second retaining device configured to hold the hose against the outer wall during operation of the domestic appliance.

9. The domestic appliance of claim 8 , wherein the outer wall has a second recess, said second retaining device being arranged in a region of the second recess of the outer wall, said outer wall being recessed in a direction of an internal chamber of the domestic appliance in the region of the second recess.

10. The domestic appliance of claim 8 , wherein the second retaining device is configured and arranged with symmetry in relation to the first retaining device.

11. A water-conducting domestic appliance, comprising:
an outer wall which defines an exposed exterior surface of the domestic appliance;
a hose; and
a first retaining device arranged on the exposed exterior surface of the outer wall of the domestic appliance and configured to hold the hose against the exposed exterior surface of the outer wall during operation of the domestic appliance,
wherein the outer wall has an aperture which opens to the exposed exterior surface and through which the hose is guided, said first retaining device being arranged above the aperture,
wherein the first retaining device comprises a first hose clip and a second hose clip, the first hose clip and the second hose clip being configured as a single piece with the outer wall,
wherein the first hose clip is arranged in a plane and runs out at a downward angle, and
wherein a plane in which the second hose clip is arranged is tilted at an angle of around 45° to the plane in which the first hose clip is arranged.

12. A water-conducting domestic appliance, comprising:
an outer wall which defines an exposed exterior surface of the domestic appliance, said exposed exterior surface having a first recess and a second recess;
a hose;
a first retaining device arranged in the first recess on the exposed exterior surface of the outer wall of the domestic appliance and configured to hold the hose against the exposed exterior surface of the outer wall during operation of the domestic appliance, wherein the first retaining device comprises a first hose clip and a second hose clip; and
a second retaining device arranged in the second recess on the exposed exterior surface of the outer wall of the domestic appliance and configured to hold the hose against the exposed exterior surface of the outer wall during operation of the domestic appliance, wherein the second retaining device comprises a third hose clip and a fourth hose clip.

13. The domestic appliance of claim 12 , wherein the second retaining device is configured and arranged with symmetry in relation to the first retaining device.

14. The domestic appliance of claim 12 , wherein the outer wall is a rear outer wall of the domestic appliance, and wherein the first recess is disposed adjacent to a first side wall of the domestic appliance and the second recess is disposed adjacent to a second side wall of the domestic appliance.
