Abstract

See full text

The invention is an appliance, such as an automatic washer, having a tub in which a wash basket is mounted. The tub comprises an upper and a lower tub member, which are connected by an interference connection. The interference connection is formed by one of the tub members being provided with a peripheral channel and the other tub member being provided with a flange adapted to be received within the channel. Multiple protrusions can extend from one or both of the flange or channel side walls to abut and deflect the flange to form the interference connection.
