Wheel adapter for a cargo container
A wheel adapter for a cargo container includes a wheeled adapter body. A container connector on the adapter body is configured for connection to the cargo container. A container elevation bolt threadably engages the adapter body. The container elevation bolt is selectively adjustable to correspondingly adjust an elevation of the adapter body and raise the cargo container for transport.
Furniture glide and actuating mechanism
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.
Mounting structure for caster
A caster mounting portion has a mounting member housing portion which houses the mounting member, the mounting member has a rotary shaft portion which is pivotally supported in a bearing recessed portion in the mounting member housing portion, an abutment body in which the rotary shaft portion is provided at an eccentric position and which is displaced by rotation to be widened to close the inside of the mounting member housing portion, an upper locking piece which engages with a locking receiving portion of an opposed wall, a lower locking piece which abuts against the bottom face of a latching portion, and a locking stepped portion which is urged by a leading end of an elastic arm, climbing over the aforementioned latching portion, and engages with the latching portion.
Caster attachment system using mating features
A caster assembly for installation in an electronic equipment enclosure includes a top plate, a forked support member, and an axled wheel. The top plate is attachable to a frame structure of the electronic equipment enclosure and includes a plurality of countersunk recesses. The forked support member extends downward from the top plate, and the axled wheel is supported on the forked support member. The caster assembly is installable in an assembled electronic equipment enclosure by aligning the countersunk recesses of the top plate beneath mating features at an underside of the frame structure such that, once aligned, the weight of the assembled electronic equipment enclosure retains each mating feature of the frame structure within a respective one of the plurality of countersunk recesses in the top plate, thereby retaining the caster assembly in position to support the assembled electronic equipment enclosure.
TRANSPORT CASTER ASSEMBLY FOR A DATA CENTER CABINET
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.
PERSONAL TRANSPORTER
An object of the invention is to provide a personal mobility that is able to turn by movement of the gravitational center of a passenger, without individually controlling each motor that drives the left and right wheels, and without using any special parts. The personal transporter includes left and right driving wheels (21) as front wheels, left and right casters (22) as rear wheels, and two motors (31) for independently driving the left and right driving wheels (21). By giving a camber angle, in which an upper part inclines inward when viewed from the front, with respect to the left and right casters (22), the torque or the applied voltage of the two motors (31) is the same, the caster (22) rotates in the direction of movement of gravitational center to act as a steering wheel, and it is possible to turn a personal transporter in the movement direction of the gravitational center.
Caster wheel assembly and wheelchair comprising the same
The present disclosure relates to a caster wheel assembly (1) for a wheelchair, comprising: a caster housing (3), a central body (9) having a radially outwards extending flange (9a), which central body (9) is configured to be received by the caster housing (3), a spindle shaft (23) configured to be rotationally locked relative to the central body (9), a first bearing (11) having an inner bearing race (11b) configured to be rotationally locked relative to the spindle shaft (23), a friction member (13; 11a) configured to be rotationally locked relative to the caster housing (3), and a resilient member (15) configured to be arranged between the flange (9a) and the friction member (13), and configured to provide a force between the flange (9a) and the friction member (13) to thereby create friction torque between the caster housing (3) and the spindle shaft (23).
Insert connector and stem caster assembly using the same
A connector for removably securing a first member having a hollow cavity with a second member such that a portion of the second member is removably fixed within the hollow cavity of the first member. The connector is configured to be inserted into the hollow cavity and has an outer bearing surface configured to rest in abutting engagement with the corresponding portion of the inner wall of the cavity when the connector is inserted into the cavity. The connector also includes an inner bearing surface that corresponds with a portion of an outer wall or surface of a second member and is additionally configured to accommodate the use of a force applicator to press the second member against the inner bearing surface and to press the outer bearing surface against the first member's inner wall to removably fix the second member and connector within the cavity.
Universal wheel assembly and smart cleaning device having same
Embodiments of the present application disclose a universal wheel assembly and a smart cleaning device having the same. The universal wheel assembly includes a rotating shaft support and a universal wheel support. The rotating shaft support is configured to be fixed to a predetermined mounting position. The universal wheel support is connected to the rotating shaft support and is rotatable relative to the rotating shaft support. The universal wheel support is provided with a through hole, and the through hole is used for a mounting tool to pass through to fix the rotating shaft support to the predetermined mounting position.
WHEEL ADAPTER TO CONVERT A STORAGE CONTAINER TO A WHEELED STORAGE CONTAINER
A wheel adapter to convert a storage container to a wheeled storage container is provided. The wheel adapter comprises a mounting bracket attachable to the storage container. The mounting bracket comprises a first leg configured to engage a bottom surface of the storage container, and a second leg configured to engage a side surface of the storage container. The second leg comprises a wheel coupling. The wheel adapter also includes a wheel rotatably connected to the wheel coupling. The wheel is constructed and arranged for rotation about an axis to provide rolling support of the storage container on the ground.
