Wheel, an adapter, a kit of parts and a method
09649876 · 2017-05-16 · ·

A wheel for a vehicle is disclosed. The wheel comprises a central portion attachable to a vehicle hub and a rim arranged radially outside the central portion for supporting a wheel tire. The central portion has a series of cavities configured to receive a corresponding adapter. A cavity of the series of cavities has a through hole. The through hole is aligned in an alignment direction for alignment with a through hole of a corresponding adapter for traversal by a mounting element to attach the central portion to the vehicle hub. The cavity is configured to receive the corresponding adapter in a unique rotational position with respect to the alignment direction. The cavity includes first and second cylindrically shaped and axially aligned volumes. The first volume is bounded by a first receiving wall portion that extends substantially parallel to a front side surface of the central portion. The second volume extends from the first volume towards a back side surface of the central portion. The second volume is located radially within a radial outer periphery of the first volume.

ROLLER UNIT HAVING INTEGRATED FASTENING PORTION
20170049227 · 2017-02-23 ·

A roller unit having an integrated fastening portion includes a supporting shaft fastened to a containing body or a containing main body that can slide and having first and second flanges formed in multi steps with different outer diameters, a rotating body rotatably fixed to a side of the supporting shaft, and a washer coupled to a side of the rotating body to surround and fix the second flange, thereby preventing separation of the supporting shaft and the rotating body. Therefore, it is possible to more conveniently combine the supporting shaft and the rotating body and to prevent separation of the supporting shaft and the rotating body, whereby is possible to improve various functions.
