Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] The present invention relates to a pedestal for casters used for audio racks, furniture, etc.

The conventional pedestal used as a caster stopper is shaped like a tray, and the caster rollers are placed on it. However, in the conventional type, the rack etc. are raised by the thickness of the pedestal, and therefore the front, rear, left and right I had to use a pedestal for each caster. For this reason, for example, when the rack is placed between furniture, it becomes extremely difficult to place a base on the rear casters. In addition, even if the design coordinates with the speaker such as a center rack for system components so that the heights match, there is a drawback that the heights will not match due to the use of a pedestal.

Some have a fitting hole in the center of a thick plate material to fit a caster roller, but this cannot accommodate caster rollers of various diameters, so it is difficult to fit various pedestals. It is uneconomical because it has to be prepared.

The purpose of the present invention is to eliminate the above-mentioned drawbacks of the conventional ones and provide a caster pedestal that not only allows the material of the pedestal to be made thinner but also can accommodate caster rollers of various diameters. .

An embodiment of the present invention will be described based on the drawings.
In the figure, reference numeral 1 denotes a tray-shaped pedestal with a thin bottom plate 2, which is curved upward and has a pedestal for fitting a caster roller 3 therein. A fitting hole 4 is formed. This bottom plate portion 2 has at least two slits 5 formed outwardly from the mouth edge 2a of the fitting hole 4, giving the bottom plate portion 2 a spring effect. Therefore, the caster roller 3 is inserted into the fitting hole 4.
When the caster roller 3 is fitted into the fitting hole 4, the caster roller comes into contact with the mouth edge 2a of the fitting hole 4 and pushes down the bottom plate portion, so that the bottom arc surface 3a of the caster roller 3 comes into contact with the ground.

With the above configuration, when the diameter of the caster roller 3 is large as shown in FIG. The lower part of the pedestal 1 protrudes, and the outer peripheral wall 1a of the pedestal 1 holds the caster roller 3.
As shown in Figure B, if the diameter of the caster roller is medium, it will fit into the fitting hole 4 with the bottom plate part 2 slightly crushed, and this can be held by the spring effect of the bottom plate part 2. . Furthermore, Figure 3C
As shown, when the diameter of the caster roller is small, it protrudes from the fitting hole 4, and the caster roller is held.

According to the caster pedestal of the present invention, the pedestal has a tray shape with a thin bottom plate, the bottom plate is curved upward, and the caster roller is fitted into the bottom plate. Furthermore, since the bottom plate has a spring effect, the arc surface of the caster roller is always in contact with the ground when the caster roller is fitted into the fitting hole. Therefore, there is no risk that the height of racks etc. will differ. Therefore, it is only necessary to use pedestals for the front left and right caster rollers, and there is no need to use pedestals for the rear caster rollers. Also,
When the diameter of the caster roller is large, the bottom plate is crushed and becomes flat, but the lower part of the caster roller protrudes from the fitting hole, and the caster roller is held at the outer peripheral edge of the pedestal. Therefore, the caster roller is held. If the caster roller has a medium diameter, it can be fitted into the fitting hole with the bottom plate slightly crushed and held by the spring effect of the bottom plate. Further, when the diameter of the caster roller is small, the caster roller protrudes from the fitting hole, and the caster roller is completely retained. Since it can accommodate caster rollers with different diameters in this way, there is an advantage that there is no need to prepare each pedestal to correspond to the diameter of the caster rollers as in the conventional case.

Claims (1)

[Scope of utility model registration request] It is a tray-shaped pedestal with a thin bottom plate, the bottom plate being curved upward, and a fitting hole for fitting a caster roller formed in the bottom plate. Moreover, the bottom plate part has a spring effect by forming at least two slits outward from the fitting hole edge, so that when the caster roller is fitted into the fitting hole, the caster roller is A caster pedestal characterized by an arc surface that is in contact with the ground.
