A roller assembly includes at least one roller, an L-shaped board and at least one L-shaped fixing member. The L-shaped fixing member is fixed on the L-shaped board; and the roller is fixed and connected on the L-shaped board through the L-shaped fixing member. A package includes a box and the roller assembly. The box contains at least one hole and the roller protrudes from the hole. Further, the package is used as follows. The box is opened and the matter to be packaged is put into the box. Then the roller assembly is placed into the box, and the roller assembly is sandwiched between the box and the matter. Next, the roller(s) is aligned with the hole(s). Subsequently, the box and the matter are compressed to make the roller(s) protrude from the hole(s). Finally, the box are sealed from the bottom surface to complete the package.

To be self-propelled in a simple configuration and to perform manual operation smoothly and briskly. A driving wheel includes: a base portion; a rotating shaft (first shaft) rotatably provided with respect to the base portion; a rotation member rotatably provided around the rotating shaft; a drive shaft (second shaft) provided on the rotation member orthogonally to the rotating shaft; a drive wheel provided on the rotation member and rotatable around the drive shaft; a drive unit provided on the rotation member and configured to rotationally drive the drive wheel; and a lock mechanism configured to permit rotation of the rotation member with respect to the base portion, and meanwhile, to deter the rotation of the rotation member with respect to the base portion.

A caster device includes a caster wheel configured to rotate around a horizontal rotation axis; and a case configured to expose a lower surface of the caster wheel, cover the caster wheel and have an inclined surface from a top of the horizontal rotation axis toward a bottom of the horizontal rotation axis.

The invention relates to a caster for movable objects, and more particularly a bed caster, and at least comprises: a running wheel; a fork receiving said running wheel; a guide tube which is designed to be swivelable relative to the fork via at least one bearing; locking means provided on the fork side; and a braking system which can be brought into operative connection with the running wheel and is designed to block rotation of the wheels, characterised in that the braking system includes a brake shoe, a brake spindle, a guide pin and a cup-shaped guide element, wherein the brake spindle has groove-shaped guides, the cup-shaped guide element is provided with projections, and the projections can be brought into operative connection with the guides of the brake spindle in order to form the anti-rotation means.

An all-terrain load transport system including a cylindrical first base member and at least three pairs of arms is provided. A handle is removably attached to an attachment member disposed on the cylindrical first base member. The cylindrical first base member defines a space for receiving at least one piece of accessory equipment. Each pair of the three pairs of arms defines a wheel support assembly at an end of each pair distal from an outer periphery of the cylindrical first base member. The three pairs of arms are detachably attached to the outer periphery of the cylindrical first base member. The wheel support assembly includes a cylindrical second base member defining a space for receiving a spherical wheel. The spherical wheel moves omnidirectionally within the defined space. Roller bearings positioned along an inner periphery of the cylindrical second base member facilitate the omnidirectional movement of the spherical wheel.

A support device includes a base member, a caster assembly coupled to the base member including a caster pivotally coupled to the base member, at least two planar members positioned above the caster and pivotally coupled to one another by at least two opposing hinges, and a shaft positioned between the at least two opposing hinges and extending through the at least two planar members.

The turning radius of a differentially steered vehicle towing a trailer is controlled when turning so that its turning radius is greater than a minimum allowable turning radius. The turning radius may be autonomously adjusted using a controller to monitor the instantaneous rotational speed differential between the driven wheels and increase or decrease the relative speed between the wheels when the instantaneous rotational speed differential exceeds a threshold rotational speed differential, indicating a turn which is too tight. Alternately, the turning radius may be controlled by the vehicle's operator, who receives a signal from the controller indicating that the vehicle's turning radius is less than the minimum allowable. The operator may then take action to enlarge the turning radius using manual controls.

A caster wheel assembly for an outdoor power equipment machine includes a wheel mount and provides a double bell-shaped caster wheel including two bell-shaped halves, each bell-shaped half includes a central hub, a smooth transition portion, an outer circumferential rim, and a planar face. A ground contacting tread can be provided by the outer circumferential rims. A ground contacting tread can be provided by a resilient tread ring positioned between the two bell-shaped halves.

Particular embodiments disclosed herein provide a retractable guard assembly coupled to a caster of a mobile equipment, comprising a housing and one or more guards at least partially disposed in the housing. The one or more guards are independently movably coupled to the housing. The retractable guard assembly further comprises corresponding one or more biasing elements coupled to the one or more guards and to the housing for biasing the one or more guards towards a fully deployed state. When the one or more guards are in the fully deployed state, contact between a fixed object and a portion of the one or more guards disposed outside the housing causes the one or more guards to transition into a retracted state, and when the contact is removed, the corresponding one or more biasing elements cause the one or more guards to transition into the fully deployed state.
