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.
ADJUSTABLE ROLLER ASSEMBLY
An adjustable roller assembly for a household appliance includes a mounting base, an adjustable foot, and a height adjusting ring. The mounting base is configured to attach to a household appliance. The adjustable foot is configured to slidably engage the mounting base, and the height adjusting ring is configured to threadably engage the adjustable foot. Based at least on a rotation of the height adjusting ring, the height adjusting ring is configured to adjust a position of the adjustable foot relative to the mounting base to at least one of raise and lower a household appliance relative to the adjustable foot. A household appliance including an adjustable roller assembly is also provided as are methods of assembling an adjustable roller assembly in a household appliance.
METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR CONTROLLED OMNIDIRECTIONAL MOVEMENT OF PAYLOADS
A payload platform includes a platform and a castor assembly coupled to the platform. The castor assembly includes a body, a first wheel coupled to the body, and a second wheel coupled to the body. The first wheel and the second wheel are individually actuatable. A sensor is coupled to the body. A control unit is operably coupled to the sensor and operably coupled to the first wheel and to the second wheel. The sensor detects an area surrounding the platform, determines presence of obstacles, and transmits a signal to the control unit corresponding to the area surrounding the platform. The control unit directs the first wheel and the second wheel to rotate in a prescribed manner so as to achieve a prescribed movement of the platform.
Roller Component and Suitcase
The present invention relates to a roller component having a suspension and a roller mounting rack. One end of the roller mounting rack has a cavity and is disposed inside the suspension in a sleeved manner. An articulated shaft is located inside the cavity. Two ends of the articulated shaft respectively pass through corresponding inner wall of the cavity and are connected to the suspension to make the roller mounting rack connected to the suspension in an articulated manner; a spring in a pre-compressed state is embedded in the cavity, and sleeved on the articulated shaft; the other end of the roller mounting rack is intended to mount a roller. The present invention plays a buffering and cushioning role to the roller and can raise the contact area and adhesive force of the roller with the ground surface and make the roller cling to the ground and move steadily.
Caster Adapter and Methods Related Thereto
An exemplary embodiment of a caster adapter includes a connecting base for coupling the caster adapter to a caster, at least two panels forming at least part of an adapter member and defining the interior of the adapter member wherein at least a portion of a leg of an object is insertable into the interior of the adapter member. The adapter member may contain a leg conforming portion that protrudes outward from the interior of the adapter member and corresponds with a leg protrusion on a leg of an object wherein the leg protrusion will fit within the leg conforming portion such that the object may be lifted off the ground without the caster adapter, and coupled caster, slipping off of the leg. The leg may be inserted into the caster adapter through an opening in the side of the adapter member, wherein the opening is blocked by the use of at least one containment member interacting with the adapter member. The leg conforming portion may be customized depending on the leg protrusion location and size on the subject leg. The containment member not only acts to retain the leg within the caster adapter but also allows for quick release of the caster adapter from the leg. The adapter member of the caster adapter is customizable to fit various geometries of legs. The containment member may be retained in proximity to the caster adapter through the use of an attachment member that is attachable to the adapter member and the containment member.
Frame for a creeper
A frame (10) for a creeper includes spaced side rails (11) having a generally flat top surface (12) and a generally flat bottom surface (13). Opposed arcuate surfaces (14) extend between the ends of the top (12) and bottom (13) surfaces to form a generally oval profile for the side rails (11). A plurality of caster assemblies (15, 16, 17) each include a generally flat mounting plate (36) which is positioned adjacent to, and attached to, the flat bottom surface (13) of the side rails (11). A plurality of crossrails (23, 24, 25, 26) extend between the side rails (11) and are adapted to receive a pad.
Caster wheel bracket, caster and movable container
A caster wheel bracket, a caster and a movable container are disclosed. The movable container includes a frame and a caster. The caster includes a caster wheel bracket and a caster wheel. The caster wheel bracket includes a support plate. A first restricting portion is disposed on an upper surface of the support plate. The first restricting portion is detachably fitted to corresponding two of the transverse rods. A second restricting portion is disposed on one end of the support plate. The second restricting portion is detachably fitted to a corresponding one of the longitudinal rods. A mounting portion is connected to a lower surface of the support plate for mounting a caster wheel. The caster can be mounted and dismounted quickly and the position of the caster can be adjusted according to the actual needs.
