Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] The present invention relates to a wheel that can also be used as a transportation handle, in which a wheel that can also be used as a transportation handle is provided on the bottom of the main body of a refrigerator or the like.

. Conventionally, when transporting a refrigerator or the like to a place where the main body is to be installed, two workers have to hold the protrusion at the upper part of the back, the end corners of the bottom plate, the legs, etc.

However, the legs of the protruding part 9 are not designed to be used as handles, so the parts that touch the hands and fingers are rounded and very painful, and on top of that, it is very difficult to transport heavy items like refrigerators for long periods of time. be.

In addition, since the force is applied locally, the overall force is not applied, making it difficult to transport by a small number of people.

The purpose of the present invention is to eliminate such drawbacks and to facilitate the transportation of conventional refrigerators and the like by using wheels for transportation.

An embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the drawings.

1 is a main body of a refrigerator or the like, and a pair of fixed wheels 2, 2a are provided at the front corner of the bottom surface 1a.

3 and 3a are openings provided at the rear corners of the bottom surface 1a.

4 is a wire rod bent into a substantially U-shape and a bent part 4 in the middle.
It is an arm formed into a substantially dogleg shape, with openings 3 at both ends,
It is rotatably supported by a pair of support parts 5 cut and raised from the bottom surface 1a adjacent to 3a, and an axle 6 which also serves as a handle is provided at the other end so as to extend from both sides.

This wheel 6 is set shorter than the length of the openings 3, 3a, so that when the arm 4 is tilted toward the arrow B side in FIG. wheel 6
The opening part is in contact with the bottom surface 1a.

In addition, when the arm 4 of the wheel 6 is reversed toward the arrow A side in FIG. 1, the bent portion 4a comes into contact with the bottom surface 1a, forming a gap S (FIG. 2) in which fingers can fit between the bottom surface 1a. That's how it is.

In addition, there is a handle for transportation (
(not shown) is prominent.

In the above embodiment, when transporting the main body 1 of the refrigerator, the arm 4 is reversed toward the arrow A side as shown in FIGS. 1 and 2.

As a result, before the wheel 6 hits the bottom surface 1a, the bent portion 4a of the arm 4 hits the bottom surface 1a, making it possible to secure a space S in which a hand can enter the wheel 6 and the bottom surface 1a.

Therefore, the main body 1 can be carried using the wheels 6 and the handle on the back of the main body.

Also, when installing or moving on the floor, use the arm 4 as shown in Figure 3. The wheel 6 is reversed to the B side using the support portion 5 as a fulcrum.

As a result, a portion of the wheel 6 enters the openings 3a, 3, and at this time, the portion of the arm 4 that supports the wheel 6 hits the bottom surface 1a of the openings 3a, 3, and serves as a receiver for the wheel 6.

At this time, the bent portion 4a is slightly above the floor surface.

Therefore, the main body 1 can be moved and installed using the fixed wheels 2, 2a and the wheels 6.

As mentioned above, the present invention has one end pivotally fixed to a part of the bottom of the main body, and a rotatable handle and wheel on the other end.A part of the arm is provided with a bent part that comes into contact with the bottom when the arm is reversed. Therefore, when transporting refrigerators, etc., there is no need to use special tools, and there is no need to increase the external volume for the handle. It can be held firmly with the whole hand instead of grasping, making it safe and easy to transport.
