Abstract (en)

Described is a tub formed of a plastics material for a laundry washing machine of the front-loading type. According to the invention, the tub (5) is formed of two substantially cylindrical half-shells (6, 7) connected to one another in longitudinal alignment by means of bolts passing through integrally formed flanges. The tub is formed with a planar bottom portion (14, 14 min ) and a liquid discharge opening located adjacent one side thereof in direct communication with a filter body (13) integrally formed with the forward half-shell (6). The rear half-shell (7) is integrally formed with liquid inlet leans (9, 11) acting as a siphon steam trap, and mounting means for a drum actuating motor (25) Cam means (34, 35) cooperating with the rear half-shell (7) is provided for tensioning a transmission belt (41) extending between motor (25) and a drum pulley (38). The flange (3) for interconnecting the two half-shells is advantageously configured so as to permit a circulation pump (19) to be mounted thereon in communication with the filter body (13).
