Abstract

PURPOSE:To prevent deformation or breakage of the bottom of a machine, thereby being made difficult to break even if an impact force should be worked horizontally and vertically on the machine, by interposing between a fitting board and a covering board of caster an elastic member for absorbing the impact. CONSTITUTION:An elastic member 4 in a form of thick board is fixed on the upper surface 3a of a covering board 3 of caster which is supported over a caster-part 2. Further, on the upper surface 4a of this elastic member 4, a fitting board 5 is fixed. On the fitting board 5, screw studs 6, being fixed so as to protrude, are put through fitting holes 21 drilled in the bottom 20 of an apparatus such as a business machine, thereby nuts 22 being put tightly into studs 6 to fix the board 5 on the bottom 20. Thus, even if the caster-part 2 happens to collide against a protruded substance on the floor surface during transportation of the machine, the impact which the machine might receive, can be damped by the elastic member 4, causing no substantial effect on the bottom 20.

(Example) Hereinafter, the present invention will be described in detail based on an example shown in the drawings.
2 and 3 show a caster device 10 according to a first embodiment of the invention. A caster upper plate 3 is supported on the upper part of a caster part 2 that supports the wheel 1 rotatably around an axis A. This gear star upper plate 3 and the caster part 2 are supported so as to be relatively rotatable about an axis B, so that the caster part 2 can face in any direction. A thick plate-shaped elastic body 4 is fixed to the upper surface 3a of the caster upper plate 3, and a mounting plate 5 is further fixed to the upper surface 4a of this elastic body 4.

For example, four screw studs 6 are fixed to the mounting plate 5 by adhesive, welding, etc. so as to protrude upward (-11, that is, to the side opposite to the caster upper plate 3). ing. As shown in FIG. 3, these threaded studs 6 are passed from bottom to top into mounting holes 21 provided in the bottom 20 of equipment such as office machines, and nuts 22 are screwed into the threaded studs 6. At this time, the mounting plate 5 is fixed to the bottom portion 20 by being fastened.

During movement of the equipment, if the wheels 1 pass through unevenness on the transport road surface or the wheels 1 or the gear star part 2 hit a protruding object on the floor as described above, the caster part 2 and the bottom part 20 of the equipment will be damaged. Horizontal impact horns and vertical impact force act on . However, in this caster device 10, since the elastic body 4 is interposed between the caster top plate 3 and the mounting plate 5, the impact force is attenuated by the elastic body 4 and does not act greatly on the bottom portion 20. . Therefore, the risk of the bottom portion 20 of the device being deformed or damaged by the impact force is reduced. At the same time, when the above-mentioned impact force is applied,
Since the caster part 2 itself can also escape from the impact due to the elastic deformation of the elastic body 4, the risk of the caster part 2 being damaged is also reduced.
