Abstract

An appliance base for an appliance for supporting the appliance during manufacture and use, with the appliance base including a skeletal outer frame structure including a generally elongate “U”-base rail member and first and second “U”-side rails extending outwardly from the first and second ends of the “U”-base rail at generally right angles therewith. The outer frame structure defines four corners and a support area intermediate the “U”-base rail member and the “U”-side rails. The appliance base includes an inner frame structure including an index ring disposed in substantially the center of the support area, a plurality of diagonally extending support members with a diagonal support member extending inwardly from each corner of the outer frame structure and fixed to the index ring, and a front rail member extending between diagonal cross members on a side opposite from the “U”-base rail member.
