ABSTRACT:
A dishwasher tube and frame assembly incorporating an integrally molded plastic tub is provided which employs a very narrow metal collar or main support frame formed from a continuous metal member of U-shaped cross section configured as an inverted U having a base and legs extending downwardly for mounting on the supporting surface or floor; a rigid front cross member; and a pair of rear support members. The main frame surrounds the top and sides of the tub adjacent the front opening of the tub. The rigid front cross member is secured to the legs and extends beneath the front opening of the tub providing vertical support for the tub and enhancing the lateral rigidity of the main support frame.
Rear support is provided by the rear support members, each of which extends rearwardly from respective ends of the main support frame legs generally parallel to the supporting surface, and terminates in an upwardly extending portion which supportingly engages the tub bottom. A rear cross member extends between the upwardly extending portions beneath the tub bottom to provide vertical support to the tub bottom.
