Abstract
A washing apparatus having an apparatus base, and a housing carried by the apparatus base. At least three feet are attached to the apparatus base, and an activatable foot is disposed opposite the at least three feet. The activatable foot is a spring-loaded foot that, when released, is pushed downward such that the foot engages with the floor. The activatable foot is attached to a leg that is movable within a cavity of the housing. A locking cam engages the leg and ensures that there is sufficient frictional engagement between the leg and a sidewall of the cavity such that during use of the washing apparatus, the activatable foot does not move up/down when engaged with the floor. The washing apparatus, when in use, is level and stabilized while the locking cam is engaged with the leg which helps to reduce vibration and noise.
