Caster device, robot having the same, and method for driving robot
A caster device includes a caster wheel configured to rotate around a horizontal rotation axis; and a case configured to expose a lower surface of the caster wheel, cover the caster wheel and have an inclined surface from a top of the horizontal rotation axis toward a bottom of the horizontal rotation axis.
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.
Articulating Carriage
An articulating carriage for moving an object across a surface having a non-planar obstruction to allow movement of the object over the obstruction. The articulating carriage has a walking beam assembly that pivotally supports a pedestal to dispose a support surface thereof above the walking beam assembly. The walking beam assembly has a base plate, wheeled casters and a pair of spaced apart hangers having articulation openings. The walking beam pivots relative to the pedestal. In one embodiment, the pedestal is pivotally mounted on the walking beam assembly. In another embodiment, a pair of walking beam assemblies are connected with a crosstube that pivotally supports the pedestal. In another embodiment, a major crosstube assembly connects a pair of crosstubes to define a carriage having four walking beams. In yet another embodiment, a compound crosstube assembly connects pairs of major crosstube assemblies to define a carriage having eight walking beams.
FURNITURE STABILIZING ASSEMBLY
A furniture stabilizing assembly for keeping furniture level on a support surface includes at least one spacer that may be inserted between a leg of furniture and a support surface. Thus, the furniture may sit level on the support surface. The at least one spacer has an adjustable height. Thus, the at least one spacer may space the leg of furniture a selected distance from the support surface.
Gate Roller Assembly
A gate roller assembly includes a bracket that has a vertical portion and a horizontal portion. The vertical portion is positioned against a gate having the horizontal portion extending away from the gate. A plurality of bolts is provided and each of the bolts extends through the vertical portion of the bracket to engage the gate for retaining the bracket on the gate. A plurality of nuts is provided and each of the nuts threadably engages a respective one of the bolts for retaining the first plate on the gate. A roller is rotatably disposed on the horizontal portion of the bracket to roll along the support surface when the gate is opened or closed.
SYSTEM, APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR SUPPORTING AND/OR POSITIONING A PATIENT BEFORE, DURING, OR AFTER A MEDICAL PROCEDURE
A system for supporting or positioning a patient before, during, or after a medical procedure can include a platform configured to support at least a portion of a patient. A support column can be positioned beneath the platform. A base can be positioned beneath the support column and configured to support the support column. The base can include at least one drive wheel configured to contact a ground surface and move the platform with respect to the ground surface. A drive assist user interface module can be operatively connected to the at least one drive wheel. The drive assist user interface module can be configured to permit an operator of the system to selectively control movement of the at least one drive wheel. The drive assist user interface module can be part of or be attached to an attachment that includes a plate having a top surface. In one configuration, the top surface of the plate can be configured to extend parallel with a top surface of the platform when the attachment is attached to the platform.
COUPLING MECHANISM AND SUPPORTING ASSEMBLY INCLUDING THE SAME
A coupling mechanism is provided for coupling a supporting element to a frame, and includes a base member and a C-shaped retainer. The frame includes a frame body and a leg member that has a leg body extending downwardly from the frame body to terminate at an enlarged leg end. The base member defines therein a recess for the enlarged leg end therein. The supporting element is coupled to a lower major surface of the base wall. The C-shaped retainer extends to be disposed about the leg body, and is configured to be detachably coupled to a surrounding wall of the base member for retaining the enlarged leg end in the recess.
Roller and attachment damping part for a roller
A roller has a wheel, a wheel axle and a pin which protrudes upward from a housing of the roller. A sleeve sits on the pin and is spaced apart from the pin radially and axially upward by a damping material arranged between the sleeve and the pin, the damping material being arranged so that all axial and/or radial contact between the pin and the sleeve is prevented. Alternatively, an attachment damping part can be arranged on a pin of the roller in overlap with the pin, wherein the attachment damping part has an inner sleeve and an outer sleeve, the inner sleeve being spaced apart radially and axially upward by a damping material arranged between the inner sleeve and the outer sleeve. The damping material is arranged in such a way that all axial and/or radial contact between the inner sleeve and the outer sleeve is prevented.
Support stand structure with quick-release wheel mechanism
The disclosure relates to a support stand structure with a quick-release wheel mechanism, which includes a stand, a detachable wheeled seat, and multiple fasteners. The stand includes a base. The base has multiple slots and a rear wall. The detachable wheeled seat includes a board and multiple wheels. The board has a front plate disposed above the base and a rear plate projecting over the rear wall. The front plate has multiple tabs extended downwardly and inserted in each slot. Each tab has a through hole. The wheels are mounted on a bottom of the rear plate. The fasteners are installed on a bottom of the base. Each fastener includes a movable pin. Each movable pin is attachable to and detachable from each through hole. Therefore, the support stand has the advantages of stability and saving space with detachable wheels.
WHEEL CARRIER FOR A SUSPENSION OF A MOTOR VEHICLE
Disclosed is a wheel carrier for a suspension of a motor vehicle; and a motor vehicle comprising the wheel carrier. In a preferred system, the wheel carrier comprises a first carrier segment configured to carry a wheel of the motor vehicle at a wheel center; and a second carrier segment configured to couple the first carrier segment with a vehicle body of the motor vehicle. The second carrier segment comprises at least one groove, and the first carrier segment comprises for each groove a corresponding sliding pin configured to slidingly engage the respective groove such that the pin slides along the groove under vertical and/or horizontal displacements of the wheel center with respect to the second carrier segment.
