Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a swivel device that together with one or more wheels defines a caster for attachment to the base of a structure such as a cart or piece of furniture.
  • the invention has particular application to casters for attachment to the bottom of meal and beverage carts used on airplanes.
  • Casters are often used on the bottom of carts, trolleys, furniture, or other objects to make them easier to move.
  • One common use of casters involves meal and beverage carts from which airline attendants serve refreshments to passengers aboard airplanes or other aircraft.
  • the casters comprise swivel devices and attached wheels that are placed on the bottom of these carts so the attendants can roll them up and down the aisles of the aircraft.
  • casters be durable and low in cost and also, that they enable the user to both easily roll or swivel the cart and brake the cart when needed. It also is desirable that the casters require little or no maintenance, have high shock-absorbency on varied surfaces, and particularly for airline applications, be low in weight. Indeed, it is estimated that a reduction of approximately one-kilogram in weight aboard an aircraft could over the course of one year result in savings to an airline company of up to hundreds of thousands of dollars. Collection of debris within the casters, or conversely the soiling of carpets or other surfaces from the lubrication of the casters, is a further concern.
  • swivels for the casters have been fabricated with zinc-plated carbon steel and lubricated steel ball bearings, as the industry involved in making casters for airline use has considered steel to have the greatest durability relative to its weight.
  • the swivels are typically permanently secured or swedged together during the manufacturing or assembly process, and they even may be permanently lubricated. Permanent securing of the swivel parts has been considered desirable to address durability and maintenance concerns. When the swivels become damaged, the wheels are removed and the swivels replaced.
  • Figures 1A and IB show a front view and a cross-sectional side view, respectively, of a previous caster 10 used for airline meal and beverage carts.
  • the caster 10 comprises a set of wheels 12 and a swivel 14. The wheels are secured by a wheel nut 16 and wheel bolt 18 to the swivel 14. While the swivel is comprised of a number of component parts (shown in Figure IB), the swivel is swedged together to form one integral unit 14, permanently secured together. Therefore, the user cannot disassemble the parts of the swivel without destroying the

  • this swivel 14 is comprised of about seven interconnected parts, not including the wheel 12, wheel nut 16, and bolt 18, which together with the swivel 14 form the caster 10.
  • the swivel 14 comprises a brake pin 20, brake disc 22, and brake nut 24.
  • a spring 26 surrounds the brake pin 20 adjacent the top of the swivel for biasing the brake disc 22 against the wheel 12 when the top of the brake pin 20 is depressed.
  • the brake pin 20 must be movably disposed within the swivel for biasing against the wheel 12, and a central rivet 28 is used to permanently secure the parts of the swivel together.
  • the parts of the caster secured together with the rivet 28 further include a fork
  • a plurality of steel ball bearings 32a, 32b (only two are shown in light of the side view), a ball bearing cup 34, and one or more flanges or collars 35, 36.
  • the collars 35, 36, together with the cup 34 define a raceway for tracking of the ball bearings.
  • An upper plate 38 is disposed over the raceway.
  • the ball bearing cup 34 or flanges 35, 36 may be integrally molded or fixedly secured to the fork or plate 38.
  • the ball bearings are traditionally disposed within a circular raceway, and since they are typically fabricated from steel, as are the remaining parts of the swivel, the bearings must be lubricated to reduce friction and allow for ease of swiveling of the fork 30 and wheel 12 relative to the upper plate 38.
  • Such swivels as traditionally manufactured with zinc-plated steel and as designed for airline use can weigh approximately 750 grams.
  • Kramcsak shows a caster involving a swedged center pin and numerous interconnected parts, including an outer snap-ring for holding the ball bearing unit in place and an encased inner race member held in place by an inner disk-like sleeve
  • Complicated caster structures involving numerous interacting parts are also disclosed in Herold (#1,753,431), Skelton (#2,034,315), Crawford (#3,964,124), and Perlin (#4,494,271) Perlin, for example, uses two separate raceways, two sets of ball bearings, and two top plates Also, in Perlin, the neck of the caster is integrally formed with the fork which may make cleaning cumbersome to perform.
  • the invention embraces a swivel comprising a base, a fork, and a plug, preferably fabricated from milled aluminum, which may be assembled and disassembled without causing destruction of the device
  • the fork, base, and plug may be detachable pieces nestled together and secured with a removable joining piece, such as one or more screws
  • the fork has two downwardly-extending prongs for attachment to the wheel, a bridge surface joining the prongs, and a promontory disposed on the bridge surface opposite the prongs
  • the plug has a ⁇ dge with a bottom diameter smaller than the top diameter, and it is placed on top of the promontory
  • the base has a bore with an inner side surface
  • the bore is sized to nestle over the plug and the promontory of the fork so that surfaces of the plug and promontory together with the inner side surface of the bore define a raceway for tracking a plurality of ball bearings

Also, the inventive swivel as described herein uses fewer parts as compared with previous devices and is easier to manufacture.
  • all the parts of the inventive swivel may be detachable without any special equipment, unlike prior devices which have parts permanently secured together, and yet, the durability of the device is not adversely affected but instead is improved.
  • the detachability of the parts makes the inventive swivel easy to maintain and, if necessary, repair, because a user need not purchase or replace an entire swivel when one part becomes damaged.
  • the detachability of the parts also makes the manufacturing and assembling of the device more simple.
  • the inventive device configured with milled aluminum and detachable parts is durable not only due to the use of the milled aluminum, but also because it has been discovered that the swedged inner plug of previous devices presented a stress point at which cracks form, and the present device does not require use of the swedge technique to fasten the parts together. Additionally, applicants have discovered that no lubrication is necessary with the present invention, particularly when the spheres or ball bearings are fabricated with plastic and rotated within a milled aluminum raceway (as defined by the fork, plug, and base of the swivel). With the inventive swivel, the profile of the raceway allows for greater ease and continuous rotation of the fork with respect to the base, even when no lubrication is used. The ability to avoid the use of lubrication provides a clean device which is less likely to soil surfaces or to collect debris, thus maintaining a freely rotating swivel.

  • the wheels 54a, 54b may be attached to the swivel with a wheel nut (hidden from view) and bolt 53, as previously described.

Abstract

Cette invention concerne un dispositif de pivot que l'on utilise comme une roulette et que l'on fixe à la base d'une structure telle qu'un chariot ou un meuble. Ce pivot comprend une base (56), une fourche (57) ainsi qu'une cheville (58) qui sont fabriqués de préférence à partir d'aluminium broyé, ces pièces pouvant être assemblées ou démontées sans casser le dispositif. La base (56), la fourche (57) et la cheville (58) viennent se nicher les unes dans les autres de sorte qu'une partie de chacune de leurs surfaces définisse une voie de roulement servant au guidage de roulements à billes, et de manière à ce que la base (56) puisse être fixée sur la fourche (57) et tourner librement autour de cette dernière et de la cheville. Les roulements à bille sont de préférence faits d'une matière plastique de manière à éviter tout besoin de lubrification, les roulements pouvant ainsi rouler librement dans la voie de roulement.
