A holding device for supporting a turnable shaft in a housing of a domestic machine comprises a supporting member inserted into a recess provided in the housing of the machine. The supporting member includes a slotted ring-shaped portion which embraces the shaft in assembly and two elongated arms downwardly extended from the ring-shaped portion. The recess provided in the housing is in turn formed with a circular portion adapted to receive the ring-shaped portion of the supporting member and an elongated portion which serves to receive two arms of the supporting member. The supporting member is provided with two oppositely positioned hooks formed on the arms thereof which bear against undercuts formed in the recess of the housing. The housing is formed with an elastically yieldable portion which is pushed between the arms of the supporting member in assembly to clamp the supporting member and to thereby reliably arrest this member in the housing.
