WASHING MACHINE

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To facilitate the assembling of a washing tub base with a washing tube body and to enhance the circulating efficiency of water to improve the washing efficiency by assembling a cylindrical body formed by alternately connecting a plurality of sets of first and second panels on a washing tub base and integrating it thereto. SOLUTION: The body 130 of a washing tub 100 is formed into substantially a cylinder by mutually connecting three sets of first and second panels 140, 160 by alternately connecting joints formed on the side end parts thereof followed by joint treatment. Such a body 130 is combined onto a washing tub base 100 having a bracket fastened to the center hole thereof to constitute the washing tub 100. At this time, the protruding part 142 of the first panel 140 is fitted to the assembling groove 126 of the washing tub base 110 and brought into contact with the upper part of a guide plate 124, whereby the both are naturally guided to fit the protruding part 142 to the assembling groove 126. In this fitting process, the protruding part 142 is restored to the original state, and the lower surface of the body 130 is supported by the support jaw 122 of the washing tub base 100.
