  • Patent number: 3970273
    Abstract: An appliance foot formed of molded polypropylene has a shaft and an enlarged head affixed at one end of the shaft. The shaft is threaded so that it may be threadingly engaged and adjusted in the base of a domestic appliance with the head depending downwardly from the appliance. The head has a hexagonal periphery adapted to be received in a wrench for adjustment of the shaft into and out of the body of an appliance. The center of the head has an annular recess into which the depending edge of a resilient non-slip pad is received. The pad extends outwardly beyond the head so that the pad is the weight bearing surface. The edge of the annular recess is crimped tightly over the pad to tightly engage the periphery thereof and to hold it firmly in the annular recess.
