- only one support portion 31 is provided for cantilever support of the screw shaft 32.
- the support portion 31 may be provided in a pair in the front-rear direction Y, and the both side portions 32B of the screw shaft 32 in the front-rear direction Y are rotatably supported via the respective bearings 42.
- the support rigidity of the screw shaft 32 can be improved, whereby the screw shaft 32 itself is less likely to vibrate, and therefore the vibration generated by the washing tub 3 in the washing operation is transmitted to the rotating portion 6, the vibration It is also difficult to transmit to the threaded shaft 32, the coupling 34, and the motor 33. Thereby, occurrence of a failure of the drive mechanism 8 can be suppressed.
- the configuration in which the screw shaft 32 is supported by both ends of the pair of support portions 31 as in the modified example can be applied to the embodiment of FIGS. 1 to 3 .
- the both side portions 32B of the threaded shaft 32 supported by the pair of support portions 31 may be both ends of the threaded shaft 32, or may be portions deviated from the center side of the threaded shaft 32 in the front-rear direction Y from the both ends. .
- the lock releasing mechanism 7 and the recessed portion 6C of the rotating portion 6 can be omitted as long as the movement of the nut member 35 in the front-rear direction Y, that is, the rotation of the washing tub 3, can be restricted when the driving of the motor 33 is stopped.
