A roller is provided that is configured to support of a rotary platform. The roller includes at least one side flange including an inner surface, a rolling surface to be in contact with a flat running surface of an upper rail member fixedly connected to the rotary platform and a flat running surface of a lower rail member stationary arranged. The roller includes a circumferential recess connecting the rolling surface to the inner surface of the side flange and that the circumferential recess has a depth such that the flat running surfaces of the upper rail member and the lower rail members are out of contact with a bottom surface of the circumferential recess at a potential angle deviation between the flat running surfaces of the rail members and a rotation axis of the roller.

A rolling bearing mechanism comprising a rod (110), an outer ring (130) surrounding the rod coaxially, and rollers (120)interposed between the rod (110) and the outer ring (130), with the rod, the outer ring, and the rollers each having a respective right-handed thread and a respective left-handed thread, the left-handed threads (122a) of the rollers meshing with the right-handed thread (112a) of the rod and with the left-handed thread of the outer ring, and the right-handed threads (122b) of the rollers (120) meshing with the left-handed thread (112b) of the rod (110) and with the right-handed thread of the outer ring (130).

A rolling deep groove ball bearing includes a bearing outer ring (1), a bearing inner ring (2), a plurality of large rolling balls (3) and special-shaped rollers (4), where the large rolling balls (3) and special-shaped rollers (4) are arranged between the bearing inner ring (1) and the bearing outer ring (2), and the large rolling balls (3) and the special-shaped rollers (4) are arranged at intervals. For the rolling deep groove ball bearing, the rolling balls (3) and the bearing raceway realize the pure rolling, where high linear velocity is subjected; the bearing capacity is large; the noise is low; the reliability is high and the service life is long. The deep groove ball bearing has no gap for installing balls and is simply assembled.

A roller bearing having a rotatable first ring and a non-rotatable second ring arranged concentrically, the first ring having a circumferential groove opening towards the non-rotatable second ring into which is arranged a protruding element, between which are arranged a single radial roller bearing and two axial roller bearings spaced apart in the axial direction respectively on opposite radial faces of the protruding element. The roller bearing includes a plurality of circumferentially spaced apart cam followers secured to the rotatable first ring.

A convertible wheel is described that is interchangeably used with at least two different car plate designs and tracks. In particular, there is provided a wheel for use with a bearing and a car plate in a tarpaulin system. The wheel comprises a cylindrical body with a groove, first face, an opposed second face, and a central cavity positioned therebetween for receiving the bearing therein. The first face has a first opening with a first diameter, and the second face has a second opening with a second diameter that is smaller than the first diameter. Either the first face or the second face can be positioned facing the car plate.

A lift mechanism, comprising: a post, two sliding elements, and a constant force spring. One sliding element supports a display and has a rolling member for rolling contacting a post side of the post. Another sliding element is provided at another post side and fixed with the other sliding element across the post body by a connecting structure, so that the two sliding elements pulling each other slide coherently along the two post sides. The constant force spring is provided at one post end of the post and extends an end fixed to the connecting structure to stop the two sliding elements. A thin-type supporting device comprises the lift mechanism and a flat-shaped support. A post is fixed with two post ends to inner walls of the flat-shaped support, so that the sliding element connected with the display slides along a longitudinal long hole on the flat-shaped support.

A rolling deep groove ball bearing includes a bearing outer ring (1), a bearing inner ring (2), a plurality of large rolling balls (3) and special-shaped rollers (4), where the large rolling balls (3) and special-shaped rollers (4) are arranged between the bearing inner ring (1) and the bearing outer ring (2), and the large rolling balls (3) and the special-shaped rollers (4) are arranged at intervals. For the rolling deep groove ball bearing, the rolling balls (3) and the bearing raceway realize the pure rolling, where high linear velocity is subjected; the bearing capacity is large; the noise is low; the reliability is high and the service life is long. The deep groove ball bearing has no gap for installing balls and is simply assembled.

A speed change device comprising an inner race having an outer surface, an outer race having an inner surface, and set of orbital rollers including inner rollers in rolling contact with the outer surface of the inner race and outer rollers in rolling contact with the inner surface of the outer race.

An improved bearing assembly is disclosed. Ring-shaped rolling elements in an alternating staggered formation, which allows maintenance of the bearing assembly geometry with fewer structural elements than prior bearings. The rolling elements can create a constant elastic tension, or pre-load, which maintains the bearing assembly geometry under various loads and rotational speeds, and reduces wear on the rolling elements and the raceways. The rolling elements can also comprise energy-dampening members and/or instrumentation which can monitor the functioning of the bearing assembly. An alternate embodiment in which the rolling elements are interlocked allows the use of more rolling elements in the same volume. An improved cage assembly, highly suitable for use with the improved bearing assembly, is also disclosed. The improved cage assembly comprises individual cage segments, which each retain one rolling element. The cage assembly can flex at every joint in a way not allowed by prior cage assemblies.

A roller bearing having a rotatable first ring and a non-rotatable second ring arranged concentrically, the first ring having a circumferential groove opening towards the non-rotatable second ring into which is arranged a protruding element, between which are arranged a single radial roller bearing and two axial roller bearings spaced apart in the axial direction respectively on opposite radial faces of the protruding element. The roller bearing includes a plurality of circumferentially spaced apart cam followers secured to the rotatable first ring.
