Definitions

the present invention relates to a fixing system of the tub of a household washing machine with respect to its corresponding frame, so that the tub is retained during transportation of the washing machine, which prevents movements or vibrations, which are the cause of adjustments and even breakage or damage to certain parts or components could.
household washing machines incorporate, prior to being packaged for transport, elements which are designed to hold the tub in relation to the frame of the washing machine and which form an anchoring system which is normally formed by a pair of parts and an intermediate spring, one of which is formed on the inner part of the frame plate of the washing machine and the other on the corresponding tub, so that the spring, which is arranged between these two parts, together with them serves as a separating element between the tub and the frame, the unit being fastened by means of an axial through screw which is screwed into an opening which is formed for this purpose in the tub.
the locking system according to the invention has a number of special features which make it possible to overcome the disadvantages and problems which are mentioned in the previous section.
the system of the invention is based on the fact that an extended part is arranged as a separator between the tub of the washing machine and its frame, with an axial passage for a corresponding fastening screw which is to be screwed into an opening provided for this purpose in the tub , so that the outer end of the part which serves as a separator has a slight and increasing extension with a pair of diametrically crossed grooves, which not only enables the passage of the fastening screw, but also that the head part enlarges this section of the separator and press it to adjust against the outer surface of the sheet corresponding to the frame to secure the unit when the screw is screwed into the opening of the tub.
the part that serves as a separator is preferably made of plastic and has transverse grooves that are alternately arranged along most of the length of the part.
part 1 can be seen, which forms a separating piece for forming a component of the locking system of the tub 2 of a household washing machine with respect to its corresponding frame 3.
This part or separator 1 is elongated and has an axial passage, while the rear or outer end defines a slightly and increasingly enlarged section 5, which has a pair of diametrical grooves 6, while the rest of the part 1 has transverse grooves 7.
This part or separator 1 is arranged between the tub 2 of a washing machine and its corresponding frame 3, with the part 1 previously passed through an opening formed in the sheet metal of the frame 3, the enlarged section 5 remains outside, so that after positioning in the manner indicated above, the corresponding fastening screw 8 is inserted, which runs through the axial passage 4 of the separator 1 and the end of this screw 8 in an opening 9 formed for this purpose in the tub 2 is screwed in, so that the head piece 10 of the screw 8 to the extent that Forward movement when screwed in causes the expansion of the section 5, which is made possible by the diametrical groove 6, this expansion by the pressure and the adaptation of the outer surface of the section 5 of the part or separator 1 on or to the outside of the sheet metal, which the Frame 3 corresponds, is produced in order to achieve an effective securing or anchoring of the unit when it is attached.
the frame is reinforced.
