Wheel tackle

Abstract

Wheel tackle apparatus made of wheels with bearings and plywood angles with shackles impaled on a bolt and locked with nuts to a threaded bracket riveted to a metal angle. It provides an adjustable platform to accommodate variable object sizes. It has eyelets and threaded metal shackles which can be used to tie the object. The shackles serve as a barrier to prevent sliding, shifting, or detachment of the object. It can be disassembled for compact storage. It reliably secures an object for transportation onto the plywood and metal angle platform and enables rolling the object instead of hand carrying it.

Claims

1. A wheel tackle 1 is comprised from several parts: central 2 and two sides 3. Central part 2 is comprised of the threaded bracket 13, which is made from metal sheet bended and formed to accommodate bracket nuts 16 which is welded into it. Metal plank 14 is welded to bracket nuts 16. Metal angle 5 is riveted to a bracket with rivets 10 and washers 15 respectively. Bracket nut 16 has a threaded hole for bolt 19. Side part 3 is comprised of plywood angle 4 with holes which are equipped with threaded metallic shackle 9 tightened with trapezoidal nut 7 and shackle locking nut 8 on one end and shackle washer 18 and shackle locking nut 8 on the other end to form a strong bond with plywood angle 4. Side part 3 also includes the wheel 12, bearings 17, bearing locking nuts 20, plywood angle' washers 21, and rectangular locking nut 6. Bearings 17 is put on bolt 19 and fixed by the bearing locking nuts 20 and is placed inside of the wheel 12. Plywood angle 4 with a hole is put on bolt 19 and fixed with plywood angle' washers 21 and rectangular locking nut 6. Metal angle 5 and trapezoidal nut 7 have eyelets 11.

2. The wheel tackle of claim 1, wherein the distance between two sides of the part 3 can be changed with a help of the bolts 19, bracket nuts 16, and rectangular locking nuts 6 to accommodate the attachable object dimension.

3. The wheel tackle of claim 1, wherein the eyelets 11 of the parts 2 and 3 can be used to tie the object to them.

4. The wheel tackle of claim 1, wherein the threaded metal shackles 9 can be used as a barrier to prevent the object from sliding, shifting, falling and as a place to tie the object to.

5. The wheel tackle of claim 1, wherein side parts 3 elements are identical and interchangeable between each other.

Description

BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF FIGURES

[0008] FIG. 2 is a plywood angle with a metal shackle, washers, trapezoidal and locking nuts assembly.

[0009] FIG. 3 is a plywood angle with wheel, nuts, bearings and bolt assembly.

[0010] FIG. 4 is a central part presented from different point of view compare to FIG. 1.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0011] Referring to FIG. 1 is a perspective view of the wheel tackle 1 according to the invention. The wheel tackle 1 is comprised of several parts: central 2 and two sides 3. Side part 3 is comprised of plywood angle 4 with holes which are equipped with threaded metallic shackle 9 tightened with trapezoidal nut 7 and shackle locking nut 8 on one end and shackle washer 18 and shackle locking nut 8 on the other end to form a strong bond with plywood angle 4. Side part 3 also includes the wheel 12, bearings 17, bearing locking nuts 20, plywood angle' washers 21, and rectangular locking nut 6. Bearings 17 is put on bolt 19 and fixed by the bearing locking nuts 20 and is placed inside of the wheel 12. Plywood angle 4 with a hole is put on bolt 19 and fixed with plywood angle' washers 21 and rectangular locking nut 6. Metal angle 5 and trapezoidal nut 7 have eyelets 11. Side parts 3 elements are identical and interchangeable between each other.

[0012] Referring to FIG. 2 is a perspective view of a plywood angle 4 assembly where in the round circle shows how the threaded segment of the threaded metal shackle 9, trapezoidal nut 7, shackle washer 18, and locking nuts 8 are positioned on the plywood surface and inside of the plywood angle 4 hole.

[0013] Referring to FIG. 3 is a perspective view of a side part 3 assembly where in the round circle shows how the bearings 17 and bearing locking nuts 20 are positioned inside of the wheel 12; and how plywood angle' washers 21 and rectangular locking nuts 6 are positioned on the plywood surface and inside of the plywood angle 4 hole.

[0014] Referring to FIG. 4 is central part 2 presented from a different point of view compared to FIG. 1. It is comprised of the threaded bracket 13, which is made from metal sheet bended and formed to accommodate bracket nuts 16 which is welded into it. Metal plank 14 is welded to bracket nuts 16. Metal angle 5 is riveted to a bracket with rivets 10 and washers 15 respectively. Bracket nut 16 has a threaded hole for bolt 19.

[0015] The proposed wheel tackle 1, after being adjusted to the object size by threaded bolts 19, bracket nuts 16, and rectangular locking nuts 6, is tied to the object by eyelets 11 and a rope or any flexible element to make ready for use (rolling).

[0016] A significant difference in the design of the wheel tackle 1 is that it can be disassembled by unscrewing the rectangular locking nuts 6 and occupy less volume than any other known wheeled carts. Wheel tackle 1 threaded elements can be extended with similar threaded custom elements. Shackle and angles size can be modified or replaced according to the customer needs as well.

[0017] This invention has been described as having a preferred design, but it can be further modified within the scope of technical abilities in the following way: eyelet 11 diameter in metal angle 5 and trapezoidal nut 7 can be any size, they can be accompanied by cutting a thread in it with any type, size, and pitch; bolt 19 and wheel 12 diameter can be any size. That is what and how this invention intended to cover any variations, uses, or adaptations of the invention using its general principles.
