An actuator assembly including a lift actuator a biasing device, and a biasing load adjustment assembly. The lift actuator is operable to move the auxiliary wheel to the deployed position and to the stowed position. The biasing device configured to bias the auxiliary wheel towards the deployed position. The biasing load adjustment assembly configured to adjust a biasing force being applied by the biasing device to the auxiliary wheel.

The invention relates to a manufacturing method and a structure of a wheel rim. The manufacturing method mainly comprises the steps of forming a rim body made of a carbon fiber material in a cavity of a molding die; forming a rim assembly by extruding a metal material and assembling the rim assembly to the rim body; and forming a rim coating by tightly encapsulating a carbon fiber material on a surface of the rim body assembled with the rim assembly.

A wheel and hub assembly. Such a wheel includes split adapters, split hubs and split wheels. The assembly is attached to any beach chair or other article of manufacture which has a rod or pipe in its structure. Also, the wheel can be adapted on variously sized pipes and enable a user to easily pull/roll a beach chair or other articles of manufacture on various surfaces including a sandy beach or lawn.

A mechanics creeper that is strapped to the user using a back pack type harness. The present technology pertains to equipment for a mechanic. Also, the type of wheels used allows it to roll through debris without obstruction. In particular, but not by way of limitation, the present technology provides systems for mechanics to easily do work underneath a vehicle or machine using a mechanics creeper. Furthermore, embodiments of the present technology allow for a mechanics creeper that is easy for a user to transport and store.

A soft sided container with a wheel assembly securable to the sidewalls of the container. The wheel assembly is formed from a cage bearing rotatably coupled to a hub. The hub, formed integral with a base plate, engages an internally positioned mounting plate, eliminating the need for a cross axle. The use of a large hub limits rotation to an outer circumference of the wheel assembly.

A luggage article comprising a body including a top face, a bottom face, an a plurality of side faces. A first pair of wheels is disposed at the bottom face of the body. A handle has a first operative orientation wherein the handle is disposed within the body and a second operative orientation wherein the handle extracted from the body. A central wheel is functionally associated with the handle, such that in the first operative orientation of the handle, the central wheel is retracted and disposed in or adjacent a face of the body, and in the second operative orientation the central wheel is extracted and extends outwardly from the body.

A furniture rotary system (100, 200, 300, 400, 500) for a piece of furniture (10, 20, 30, 40, 50) is provided. The furniture rotary system is forming a sliding rotary connection between a rotational member (120, 210, 320, 410, 520) and a stationary member (110, 220, 310, 420, 510), wherein said furniture rotary system (100, 200, 300, 400, 500) comprises at least one sliding surface (114, 214, 314, 414, 514) being coated with a lacquer comprising a resin, wherein said lacquer in turn is at least partly coated with a lipophilic composition coating to provide a slide layer with a lowered friction.

The disclosure provides a wheel, drive wheel and wheel chair. The wheel includes an annular rim and a disk covering the rim on one side in an axial direction of the rim. The disk of the wheel includes a skin and a cushion member. The skin is formed of a fiber-reinforced material. The cushion member includes a cushion part and a shape retaining part. The cushion part is formed of a shock absorbing material and is disposed adjacent to the skin. The shape retaining part is formed of a fiber-reinforced material and is disposed adjacent to the cushion part.

A furniture rotary system (100, 200, 300, 400, 500) for a piece of furniture (10, 20, 30, 40, 50) is provided. The furniture rotary system is forming a sliding rotary connection between a rotational member (120, 210, 320, 410, 520) and a stationary member (110, 220, 310, 420, 510), wherein said furniture rotary system (100, 200, 300, 400, 500) comprises at least one sliding surface (114, 214, 314, 414, 514) being coated with a lacquer comprising a resin, wherein said lacquer in turn is at least partly coated with a lipophilic composition coating to provide a slide layer with a lowered friction.

The invention refers to a furniture panel assembly (200, 200 200, 200) comprising a furniture panel (300, 300 300, 300) and a wheelhouse cassette (100, 100, 100, 100). The furniture panel (300, 300 300, 300) has a slot (23) extending in a plane in parallel with and at least partly between the major surfaces of the furniture panel (300, 300 300, 300) and the wheelhouse cassette (100, 100, 100, 100) is positioned in the slot (23). The wheelhouse cassette (100, 100, 100, 100) comprises a wheelhouse (1; 1; 1; 1) and a wheel (2) adapted to be inserted into and retainably engage the wheelhouse (1; 1; 1; 1).
