A wheel caster comprising a roller, and a two piece socket, wherein the two piece socket comprises a top housing, having a concave cavity to accept the roller in a freely rotatable configuration, a stem, to be inserted inside a leg of an object, and a bottom housing comprising an opening to allow a portion of the roller to extend below the bottom housing allowing the roller to contact a surface.

According to an example aspect of the present disclosure, there is provided a novel caster assembly for a roll container (1000). The caster assembly has a caster (410) with a fork (411) as well as a pin (414). The pin (414) may be repeatedly attached to and removed from the fork (411) so as to attach the chassis (100) of the roll container (1000) to the fork (411). The pin (414) also acts as the hinge pin of a pivotable side wall (200) of said roll container (1000).

A protective end cap for lumber products includes a body comprising a lower surface and at least three lateral walls defining an upwardly-opening cavity configured to receive an end of a rectangular piece of lumber. The body includes: an upper portion comprising a first width and a first length, and a lower portion comprising a second width and a second length. In some embodiments, the first width is smaller than the second width. In some embodiments, the first length is smaller than the second length. The body further includes a transition portion comprising a tapered surface positioned between the upper portion and the lower portion. In some embodiments, a first lateral wall defines a first through-hole in the upper portion of the body extending from an exterior surface of the first lateral wall to an interior surface of the first lateral wall.

Exemplary aspects of the present invention are directed to a reconfigurable dolly that may include a base, one or more base plates, that may be removable from the base and nest within the base, and one or more caster wheels connected to the base to allow for movement of the reconfigurable dolly relative to the surface on which the reconfigurable dolly may be positioned. The base of the reconfigurable dolly may be configured to be coupled to a base receiving tube. The base receiving tube may be configured for telescoping receipt of a seat receiving tube. The seat receiving tube may be telescopically positionable within the base receiving tube. The seat receiving tube may be configured for receipt and retention of an adjustable seat.

A storage unit designed to help improve personal storage needs. This unit will allow for easy transport for the ease of uses. The unit enables users to move the storage unit from place to place because of the wheels and size. The size of the unit will allow users to move through standard door length and width. The unit will have the ability to be disassembled for ease of storage. It will also have the option of a door that can be pulled down from the top of the unit for secured storage. Inside the unit there are groves to allow for attachment of a hanger bars and placement of shelving. This storage unit can be airtight sealed with a airtight plastic bag attachment that is located on the base of the unit with a airtight zipper seal. When a user locks the unit door it will allow for a lever that will also lock the wheels for better security.

A resilient caster guide includes a mounting flange configured to be received against a wall of a galley cart storage compartment. A flexible alignment element angularly extends from the mounting flange into the storage compartment. The flexible alignment element is configured to contact a caster extending from a base of a galley cart received in the storage compartment and to resiliently deform to maintain longitudinal alignment of the caster.

A caterer buffet table conversion kit comprises detachable one piece spring handles for transport and exchange of chafing dishes, and low profile table casters. The components of the kit have utility individually. The handles are each formed from a one piece spring steel and include a semi-cylindrical grip, an upper and a lower leaf with the lower having a spring forming member facilitating the engagement of the chafing pan between the leafs. Each caster includes a caster assembly including a caster wheel or caster ball and a tubular table coupling bracket coupled thereto and configured to receive a conventional table leg therein. The bracket is offset from a caster wheel or caster ball and configured to receive the table leg wherein a terminal end of the table leg is positioned vertically below the center of the caster wheel or caster ball to minimize the height of the table top.

A rail-based floor conveyor system, with a floor conveyor with concavely grooved wheels and rails having a surface which, when in contact, dips at least partially into the grooved area of the wheels, thereby producing at least two load-bearing lines during the movement of the floor conveyor, wherein a wheel holder is provided for each wheel, with at least one horizontal axis of rotation for each wheel and a vertical axis of rotation to a bearing connected to the floor conveyor, and wherein the wheels can be moved by drives or manually on the rail, bearing including a first bearing part and a second bearing part, wherein one of the bearing parts has a concave surface section, which is at least partially in contact with a convex surface section of the respective other bearing part, and wherein both bearing parts are movable relative to one another while maintaining contact.

A caster configured to be attached to an object and provide for rolling movement of the object. The caster may include a main wheel and multiple support members that contact against and support the main wheel. One or more support members include a first sphere that may contact against a top of the main wheel. One or more support members include a second sphere that may contact against the main wheel along lateral sides of the main wheel and offset from the top.

The disclosure relates to a steering control system useful for providing stable control during high-speed operation of harvesters, such as self-propelled windrowers. The steering control system utilizes a sensor for detecting and regulating a position of a single steering cylinder associated with a first caster, a damper being free of sensing and providing passive damping to the second caster.
