CONNECTIVE UNIT TO CONNECT A ROLLER WITH A SEAT'S LEG
20180257431 · 2018-09-13 ·

A connective unit to connect a roller with a seat's leg is disclosed. The connective unit comprises a supportive arm, a plastic cylindrical member, a pivotally connective member and a roller. The plastic cylindrical member may engage with a cylindrical hole provided in the supportive arm. The upper end of the pivotally connective member may engage with a first connective hole and the lower end of the pivotally connective member may engage with a second connective hole of the roller. Thanks to presence of the plastic cylindrical member, when the pivotally connective member rotates and causes the roller to rotate with it, the supportive arm doesn't have any contact with the pivotally connective member and thus noisy friction and impacts between them as in the prior art may be avoided. Therefore, the plastic cylindrical member is difficult to wear out as the pivotally connective member rotates.
