Abstract (en)

In a laundry washing machine according to the invention, the housing thereof is formed by an assembly of two housing elements (5, 6) and a support frame (7). Each housing element (5, 6) comprises a main wall portion forming the front surface (8) and the rear surface (22), respectively, of the housing, and a pair of lateral wall portions (9, 10 and 23, 24) extending parallel to one another at right angles to the main wall portion. The support frame (7) on its part forms a support structure for the washing assembly and all of the functional components of the machine, and comprises at least one elongate profile member bent to a shape formed by two vertical legs (35, 36) and a horizontal member (37). A pair of cross members (38, 39) affixed to the lower portions of the vertical legs (35, 36) are provided with adjustable leveling feet (42) for engagement with the floor. The two housing elements (5, 6) are brought into mutual contact with their lateral wall portions and attached to the vertical legs (35, 36) of the support frame (7). There is thus obtained a modular construction of the washing machine, which is readily assembled and easily accessible.
