An omni-directional wheel for a pool vacuum head includes a first frame and a second substantially identical frame, each frame having a hub rotating around a common axis, lower supports extending radially from the hub, risers extending from the hub along the common axis, and upper supports individually coupled to the risers, the upper supports extending radially from the common axis. Rollers coupled to the first frame and the second frame, are radially spaced from the common axis on each frame. The rollers rotate normal to the common axis to impart omni-directional movement. When the first frame and the second frame are interlocked, the risers on the first frame engage the hub on the second frame, and the lower supports on the first frame engaging the upper supports on the second frame, maintaining the rollers in a staggered arrangement around the wheel.

The present disclosure discloses a wheel assembly structure and a child activity center. The wheel assembly structure includes a connection base and a wheel assembly that is deployable. The wheel assembly is pivotally connected to the connection base. The wheel assembly has a deployment state and a storage state. An adjustment mechanism is provided between the connection base and the wheel assembly. The adjustment mechanism is configured to switch the wheel assembly into the storage state from the deployment state. When the wheel assembly is in the deployment state, the wheel assembly is deployed to a first position to move the connection base. When the wheel assembly is in the storage state, the wheel assembly is stored to a second position to stably place the connection base. The wheel assembly structure has a simple overall structure, which facilitates production and lowers production costs.

A bicycle wheel component having a braking area of composite material, wherein in a region of the braking area, the structural fiber outcrops at least from the polymeric material, and the region comprises a groove through the structural fiber and possibly the polymeric material of the composite material.

A hub or wheel assembly includes a retaining element, biasing element, and hand-maneuverable release mechanism. The housing includes an axle bore configured to receive an axle and a pin sleeve including a first end in fluid communication with the axle bore, a second end, and a conduit between the first end and the second end. The retaining element is within the conduit and is configured to operatively engage a groove in an axle. The biasing element is within the conduit and is configured to bias the retaining element towards the axle bore. The hand-maneuverable release mechanism is configured to displace the retaining element away from the axle bore.

A method for producing a product including a composite fiber part and a second part, wherein the second part includes a carrier part, wherein the carrier part is a replica of a press tool configured to be heated and to apply a pressure, the method including applying, in a non-cured state, the composite fiber part on the carrier part, arranging the carrier part including the composite fiber part on the press tool, curing the composite fiber part on the carrier part, and removing the product from the press tool, wherein after removal from the press tool the composite fiber part and the carrier part constitutes together at least a part of the finished product. Also disclosed is a composite fiber product including a composite fiber part and a second part.

A strut type suspension device has a retractable strut (111) that connects to an upper portion of an in-wheel motor drive device (10) so as not to relatively move; and a swingable lower arm (116) that is coupled to a lower portion of the in-wheel motor drive device in any direction, and permits vertical swinging of the in-wheel motor drive device and also permits steering of the in-wheel motor drive device about a steering shaft (S) that passes through a coupling point (119) between the lower arm (116) and the in-wheel motor drive device. An axis (M) of the motor portion (21) of the in-wheel motor drive device is arranged above a height of the coupling point (119) of the lower arm (116).
