WHEEL CENTER CAP ASSEMBLY
20220242164 · 2022-08-04 ·

The invention concerns wheel center cap assemblies that include an adapter and a wheel center cap that registers with, or is integral with, the adapter. In some embodiments, the adapter includes tracks and lug sleeves that couple with lugs of the vehicle wheel. Each of the lug sleeves is slidably coupled to each of the tracks of the adapter, and each of the lug sleeves is adapted to move along a length of the tracks; this helps ensure that the adapter is universally compatible with multiple wheel models. In other embodiments, an adapter has a body adapted to be inserted within the center aperture of the wheel. A posterior support registers with the adapter and is sandwiched between a rotor of the vehicle and the wheel to secure the adapter inside the aperture of the wheel; a removable wheel center cap registers with the adapter to adorn the wheel.

MECANUM WHEELS APPLIED TO THE SYSTEM FOR MOVING A SUSPENDED MOBILE PLATFORM ON VERTICAL AND HORIZONTAL FLAT SURFACES

The present invention relates to the construction of Mecanum wheels for a robot-operated painting system. The wheels have special characteristics given the difficulties and obstacles where they will be used. They were designed to facilitate the movement of the painting system on vertical and horizontal walls and to avoid coating losses. The Mecanum wheels consist of a set of wheel covers that are used to secure the rollers. The rollers, arranged at 45° and in a cylindrical-convex shape, contain bearings passing through their central axis, and have rollers at the ends of the bearings. The magnetic base is placed between the two wheels, being at an optimal height to exert magnetic force against the surface and to be able to pass over obstacles. Mecanum wheel geometries and materials are designed to be inert to the coating.

Table glide spacer
11284720 · 2022-03-29 · ·

A table leg assembly for supporting a table top. The table leg assembly includes a leg member having a lower end that defines an open interior. A tube end insert is received within the open interior at the lower end of each of the leg members. A threaded internal opening of the tube end insert receives an attachment rod of either a caster wheel assembly or a glide assembly. The glide assembly includes a glide member having a support foot mounted to the threaded attachment rod. A spacer is positioned along the attachment rod between the lower end of the leg member and the support foot. The spacer is movable along the attachment rod to cover the threaded attachment rod and lock the glide member in position. The attachment rod of the caster wheel assembly is received within the tube end insert to mount the caster wheel assembly to the leg member.
