Problems solved by technology

As mentioned above, since the process of producing such a common stand 10 is very complicated, there is a problem of low productivity in this kind of common stand 10
[0007] In addition, when butyl rubber leaks and solidifies between metal molds during molding, burrs are formed on the outer peripheral edge of the pad 15
Burrs formed during the molding process can cause the pad 15 to have an undesirable appearance and detract from the aesthetics of the foot 10
[0008] Moreover, since the pad 15 has no angular outer surface, and its material is very soft, when the worker turns the pad 15 to connect the feet 10 to the household appliance 1 or adjust the height of the feet, the worker's hands tend to slip on the pad.
Therefore, there is the problem that the worker's working efficiency is low in the usual support foot 10

[0049] Foot bolts 100 are connected to household appliances (not shown), such as image 3 , 50, and 6A, the foot bolt includes a long screw 110 and a head 120.

[0050] In this case, the screw rod 110 is connected to the lower edge of the household appliance, so that the height of the foot bolt 100 can be adjusted by rotating the screw rod 110 .

[0051] A head 200 is provided at the end of the screw 110 , the head includes a flat head 121 and a platform 125 . In this case, the flat head 121 is shaped like a disk, and the platform 125 protrudes from the flat head 121 in a direction opposite to the advancing direction of the screw 110 .

[0052] In addition, a head 130 is further included between the head 120 and the screw 110 . Such as Figure 6A As shown, the angled head 130 includes an angled outer perimeter. Therefore, when setting the angled head, a worker can easily rotate the foot bolt 100 by using a tool such as a wrench or a wrench.

[0087] Such as Figure 7 As shown, the foot assembly according to the second embodiment of the present invention includes a foot bolt 100, a pad 200, and a fixing member 300 having an inner fixing member 300a and an outer fixing member 300b. In this case, the structure of the foot bolt 100 and the pad 200 is the same as Figure 6A and Figure 6B The structure shown in is the same. and Figure 6A and Figure 6B The structure of the illustrated foot bolt 100 and pad 200 has been described in sufficient detail in the description of the first embodiment of the present invention.

[0088] Therefore, the description of the foot bolt 100 and the pad will be omitted, and only the fixing member 300 including the inner fixing member 300a and the outer fixing member 300b will be described below. For reference, for the foot bolt 100 and the pad 200, the same reference numerals as those used in the first embodiment of the present invention will be used.

Abstract

Disclosed is a leg assembly for electric home appliances for supporting an electric home appliance such as a washing machine and a clothes dryer. The leg assembly in accordance with the present invention includes, a leg bolt ( 100 ) having a screw ( 110 ) coupled with the electric home appliance and a head ( 120 ) provided at an end of a screw ( 110 ) a pad made of a soft material and closely adhered to the head ( 120 ) an being in contact with a floor; and at least one holder ( 300 ) being coupled with the head ( 120 ) for fixing the head ( 120 ) and the pad ( 200 ) by pressing the pad ( 200 ) toward the head ( 120 ).

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a foot assembly for a household appliance, in particular, to a foot assembly for supporting a household appliance, such as a washing machine and a clothes dryer. Background technique [0002] The legs of the household appliance are usually arranged at the corners of the household appliance for supporting the appliance. In general, the installation conditions of the feet can greatly affect the service life and reliability of appliances such as washing machines, clothes dryers, refrigerators and dishwashers. Legs used on home appliances are formed with threaded structures to easily adjust the height of each home appliance. [0003] exist figure 1 and figure 2 An example of a threaded foot 10 for a front-loading washing machine is shown in FIG. The structure of the stand 10 will be described below with reference to the drawings. [0004] refer to figure 2 A conventional foot 10 includes a pad 15 covering a foot bol...
