A movable stand with casters for installing each of a plurality of separate type control panels that correspond to a plurality of machine tools disposed in parallel and are disposed to be separated from the machine tools, is provide. The stand includes a top plate sections on which the separate type control panel is installed, a plurality of leg sections that support the top plate section, and horizontal sections that are provided to attach the casters to bottom sections of the leg sections and are horizontal to a floor, in which, out of the horizontal sections, a height from the floor of one horizontal section is different from a height from the floor of another horizontal section.

Mobile folding restaurant booth style benches are provided, which may be arranged in opposed pairs to form restaurant style booths. An individual bench incorporates a mechanism for shifting the weight of the bench between a mobile base, which may be supported by swivel casters, and a stationary base, which may be supported by non-slip feet, actuated by pivoting a bench seat down from a folded storage position to an unfolded seating position. The weight shifting mechanism may include an engagement member, which is initially spaced apart from an actuator at a folded angle of the seat, and which contacts and begins transmitting force and movement to the actuator at a partially unfolded angle of the seat. Preferably, the bench further includes a biasing component that biases the stationary base upward relative to the mobile base.

A wheel mechanism (10) is disclosed as including an outer wheel (12), two inner wheels (36) received in the outer wheel, and two rubber dampers (24) each separating a respective outer wheel and inner wheel, the rubber dampers being deformable between a first configuration in which the entire outer periphery (37) of the inner wheel is in contact with an inner wall (29) of a recess (28) of the rubber damper and a second configuration in which a part of the outer periphery of the inner wheel is out of contact with the inner wall of the recess of the rubber damper.

A furniture rotary system for a piece of furniture is provided. The furniture rotary system is forming a sliding rotary connection between a rotational member and a stationary member wherein said furniture rotary system comprises at least one sliding surface 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.

An actuating mechanism useful for retracting and extending furniture glides allows a minor lifting movement to actuate the caster/glide from a stored position to an extended, operative position. The same motion permits the caster/glide to be retracted to its stored position.

A mechanism for deploying and retracting an adjustable handling wheel from under different types of equipment supported on the floor, or different types of furniture, such as chairs, medical chairs, nursery chairs, examination chairs, bedside tables, beds without chassis, cabinets and others. The mechanism enables very easy handling and movement of the equipment or furniture from one place to another place.

An example article of furniture includes a number of furniture legs having mechanically coupled thereto a respective furniture caster having a rolling component. The furniture casters are movable between (i) an extended position in which their rolling components at least partially extend below bottom surfaces of the furniture legs and (ii) a retracted position in which their rolling components are positioned entirely above the bottom surfaces of the furniture legs. Push-pull cables are mechanically coupled to the furniture casters, and at least one actuator is mechanically coupled to the push-pull cables. When actuated, the actuator applies a pushing force to the push-pull cables, thereby causing the furniture casters to transition from the retracted position to the extended position. When the actuator is not actuated, the pushing force is removed from the push-pull cables, thereby causing the furniture casters to transition from the extended position to the retracted position.

A removable transport caster assembly secured to side to side beams or front to back beams in a data center cabinet in a data center. The removable transport caster assembly is temporarily installed on the cabinet to enable the cabinet to be relocated to another location in the data center. The removable transport caster assembly includes a transport caster and a transport caster bracket secured to the transport caster. The transport caster has a mounting plate, a mounting bracket extending from the mounting plate, a lifting plate pivotally connected to the mounting plate, a lifting lever pivotally connected to the mounting bracket and a wheel assembly. The transport caster bracket secures the transport caster to the cabinet when relocation of the cabinet is desired.

A wheel mechanism (10) is disclosed as including an outer wheel (12), two inner wheels (36) received in the outer wheel, and two rubber dampers (24) each separating a respective outer wheel and inner wheel, the rubber dampers being deformable between a first configuration in which the entire outer periphery (37) of the inner wheel is in contact with an inner wall (29) of a recess (28) of the rubber damper and a second configuration in which a part of the outer periphery of the inner wheel is out of contact with the inner wall of the recess of the rubber damper.

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.
