Description
- 1. Field of the Invention
- The present invention relates to a wheel, more particularly one, which is used with a rack, and made in such manner as to be securely and steadily joinable to a vertical tube of the rack, and of which service life is relatively long.
- 2. Brief Description of the Prior Art
- Conventional wheels of racks can be general grouped into ones usable with racks for supporting heavy objects, and ones usable with racks for relatively light objects. Referring to FIGS. 5, and6, a
wheel 10 suitable for use with racks for heavy objects includes a wheel part, a connectingsleeve 130, and a connecting part consisting of around platform 110 and ascrew 120; the connectingsleeve 130 has a screw hole, and is screwed to thescrew 120, and closely inserted into a lower end of avertical support tube 140 of a rack for connecting thewheel 10 to the rack. Wheels suitable for use with racks for light objects are usually formed with, like wheels of office chairs, an up-projecting connecting post for insertion into a lower end of a vertical tube of a rack. - The first kind of wheels are found to have a disadvantage that the connecting
sleeve 130 is prone to separate from thetube 140 and thescrew 120 when the rack is being moved around, especially when the rack is loaded with heavy objects, because thesleeve 130 is merely inserted into thetube 140 without any securing means provided on the joint between both, and because thesleeve 130 is merely connected to thescrew 120 by means of screw threads, and is merely supported on theround platform 110 without any securing means provided on the joint between both. Furthermore, thescrew 120 can be bent and damaged due to the heavy load if thesleeve 130 becomes loose on thescrew 120. - It is a main object of the present invention to provide a wheel, which can be securely and steadily joined to a vertical tube of a rack; thus, the wheel can't become loose or separate from the rack even if the rack is being moved around with heavy load.
- The wheel of this invention consists of a wheel support for holding a wheel part in position, a sleeve inserted into a lower end of one vertical tube of a rack, a supporting member joined to both the sleeve and a top of the wheel support, a screw projecting upwards from the polygonal portion and screwed into a screw hole of the sleeve, a round step-shaped portion formed on top of the supporting member to fit with a cavity on a lower end of the sleeve, a corrugated surface formed on an annular portion of the sleeve for increasing friction, and a resilient C-shaped ring fitted around an annular groove of the sleeve; the ring contacts an inner side of the tube to prevent the sleeve from separating from the tube; the annular groove is shaped so that a sideways facing annular portion thereof tapers off towards a lower end, i.e. similar to an middle section of an outer side of an inverted cone.
- The present invention will be better understood by referring to the accompanying drawings, wherein:
- FIG. 1 is an exploded perspective view of the wheel of a rack according to the present invention,
- FIG. 2 is a cross-sectional view of the wheel of a rack according to the present invention,
- FIG. 3 is a partial cross-sectional view of the wheel of the invention, showing one of the functions of the C-shaped ring,
- FIG. 4 is a partial cross-sectional view of the wheel of the invention, showing the other function of the C-shaped ring,
- FIG. 5 is an exploded perspective view of the conventional wheel of a rack as described in the Background, and
- FIG. 6 is a cross-sectional view of the conventional wheel of a rack.
- Referring to FIG. 1, a preferred embodiment of a
wheel 1 of a rack in the present invention includes asupport 11, awheel part 12 connected to thesupport 11, a supportingplatform 13 pivotally connected to a top of thesupport 11, and a connectingsleeve 2. - The supporting
platform 13 is formed with a polygonal portion, a round step-shaped portion 14 on a middle portion of the polygonal portion, and ascrew 15 projecting upwards from a middle portion of the step-shaped portion 14; theplatform 13 is further formed with an annular trench (not numbered) around a lower end of the step-shaped portion 14, as shown in FIG. 2. - The connecting
sleeve 2 is formed with acorrugated surface 21 on a lower portion of an outer side thereof, anelongated extension portion 22, acentral screw hole 23 extending up from a bottom thereof, around cavity 24 on a lower end for fitting with the step-shaped portion 14 of the supportingplatform 13, at least onetrench 25 formed on an outer side thereof and extending from a top of theelongated extension portion 22, and anannular groove 26 formed on the outer side of theelongated extension portion 22 and in communication with thetrench 25; thetrench 25 is provided for allowing plating liquid to flow through when thesleeve 2 is being plated; the edges of thetrench 25 can form friction with an inner side of avertical tube 140 of a rack when thesleeve 2 is fitted into thetube 140; theannular groove 26 is shaped such as to have an annularsideways facing portion 261 similar to an middle section of an outer side of an inverted cone, as shown in FIGS. 2 to 4, i.e. a lower section of the annularsideways facing portion 261 is smaller than an upper section in diameter; thesleeve 2 further has anannular protrusion 28 at a lower end for fitting in the annular trench of theplatform 13. - A C-
shaped ring 27 is provided for fitting around theannular groove 26; the C-shaped ring 27 is relatively resilient, and can be enlarged when force is exerted sideways on the inner edges thereof. In addition, the C-shaped ring 27 is formed with such a size as to project at least slightly beyond the annular side of thesleeve 2 when it is located around the smaller lower section of the annularsideways facing portion 261. - In combination, the
sleeve 2 is joined to thesupport 11 with thescrew hole 23 being screwed to thescrew 15, and with theround cavity 24, and theannular protrusion 28 being respectively fitted with the step-shaped portion 14, and the annular trench (not numbered) of theplatform 13. A wrench can be fitted around to the polygonal portion of theplatform 13, and turned to help secure the connection. The C-shaped ring 27 is positioned around theannular groove 26. Then, the connectingsleeve 2 is tightly inserted into a lower end of avertical tube 140 of a rack with both thecorrugated surface 24 and the C-shaped ring 27 being in close contact with the inner side of thetube 140, as shown in FIG. 2. - Referring to FIG. 3, because the C-
shaped ring 27 projects beyond the annular side of thesleeve 2, it can closely contact with the inner side of thetube 140 to help prevent thesleeve 2 from falling out of thetube 140 even if it is located around the smaller lower section of the annularsideways facing portion 261. - Referring to FIG. 4, the C-
shaped ring 27 will be relocated around the larger upper section of the annularsideways facing portion 261, and enlarged to have a bigger diameter when thesleeve 2 is moved down relative to thetube 140 therefore the C-shaped ring 27 can form still firmer connection with thetube 140 if an external downward force is exerted on thesleeve 2. In other words, the C-shaped ring 27 can effectively prevent thesleeve 2 from falling off. - From the above description, it can be easily understood that besides the C-
shaped ring 27 preventing the wheel from separating from thetube 140, the wheel of the present invention has advantages as followings: - 1. The wheel can be steadily connected to the lower end of the
vertical tube 140 of the rack because of friction between thecorrugated surface 21 of thesleeve 2 and thetube 140. - 2. The
sleeve 2 has theround cavity 24, and theannular protrusion 28 respectively fitting with the step-shaped portion 14, and the annular trench of the supportingplatform 13 therefore it is very steady on theplatform 13, and in turns, service life of the wheel will be longer. - 3. The
elongated extension portion 22 makes thesleeve 2 still steadier. - 4. The wheel has a polygonal portion on the supporting
platform 13 therefore a wrench can be used to help increase the firmness of the combination.
