Abstract
A washing machine including a water storage tub coupled to a rotation drive unit via a supporting member. The water storage tub may be made of plastic and the supporting member may be made of metal. The supporting member strengthens the bottom of the water storage tub and thereby prevents the water storage tub from being deformed or otherwise damaged by operation of the drive unit. During the injection molding process of forming the water storage tub, the supporting member is inserted into the water storage tub and thereby integrates with the water storage tub. Thus, a separate integration process after the water storage tub is formed is advantageously eliminated, leading to improved installation precision, simplified manufacturing processes, and reduced manufacturing cost.
