Abstract
A wheel mounting method and apparatus for dishwasher racks includes a plurality of cross members in the dishwasher rack, each of which terminate at its opposite ends in a wheel shaft. An elongated groove extends along the length of each cross frame member and into the wheel shafts. A reinforcing member is inserted within the groove and is held in place by bushings which are mounted on the opposite ends of the wheel shaft. The wheels are mounted on the bushings and are held in place on the ends of the shafts. The bushings may be snapped onto the outer ends of the shaft.
