  • Patent number: 3954241
    Abstract: A self-adjusting assembly is adapted especially for facilitating the leveling of an appliance, such as a washing machine or the like, on an uneven floor in order that the appliance is firmly positioned thereon. A pair of mounting brackets are each provided with a vertically shiftable, floor-engaging leg member with the leg members being interconnected by a cable such that the leg members are free to shift vertically relative to their corresponding brackets and in a reciprocal relationship when not supporting a normal proportional share of the weight of the appliance. Structure is provided on each bracket to frictionally engage the cable and lock the same to prevent shifting movement of the leg members relative to their brackets when the leg members and a pair of cooperating adjustable legs on opposite corners of the appliance are all in normal contact with the floor in support of the appliance.
