ABSTRACT:
An attachment arrangement is provided between a wash basket and a balancing ring of an automatic washer which permits the ring to be locked onto the basket upon rotation of the ring relative to the basket. The degree of interlocking is increased during normal operation of the washer in that the attachment arrangement is comprised of mating ramp surfaces on the basket and ring which increasingly engage upon relative rotation and at least one tab on the ring which increasingly engages a lip on the basket upon relative rotation. The tab and ramps are oriented such that braking of the basket at the end of a spin cycle results in increased interlocking of the basket and ring.
