Abstract: A wheel assembly apparatus is disclosed. In at least one embodiment, a wheel hub is coaxially positionable within a wheel. A first bearing and a laterally opposed second bearing are each positionable coaxially within the wheel hub, with an inwardly facing medial surface of the first bearing being laterally spaced apart from an opposing inwardly facing medial surface of the second bearing so as to form a bearing gap therebetween. A first outer spacer is positionable in contact with an outwardly facing lateral surface of the first bearing, and a second outer spacer is positionable in contact with an outwardly facing lateral surface of the second bearing. Accordingly, an axle is capable of extending coaxially through each of the first outer spacer, first bearing, second bearing, second outer spacer, wheel hub and wheel, thereby enabling the wheel to rotate about the axle.
Abstract: A wheel assembly apparatus is disclosed. In at least one embodiment, a wheel hub is coaxially positionable within a wheel. A first bearing and a laterally opposed second bearing are each positionable coaxially within the wheel hub, with an inner race of the first bearing being laterally spaced apart from an opposing inner race of the second bearing so as to form a bearing gap therebetween. A first outer spacer is positionable in contact with an outer race of the first bearing, and a second outer spacer is positionable in contact with an outer race of the second bearing. Accordingly, an axle is capable of extending coaxially through each of the first outer spacer, first bearing, second bearing, second outer spacer, wheel hub and wheel, thereby enabling the wheel to rotate about the axle.
Abstract: A portable support fixture for snowboards and skis comprises at least two interconnected support portions, with a suction cup secured to the top and bottom of each support portion, and a connecting structure which interconnects the support portions. The connecting structure has an elongate vertical slot which matingly receives and holds a snowboard or ski upright on one of its longitudinal edges for filing and maintaining the edges. The suction cups on the bottom of the support portions may be used to secure the fixture to any relatively flat surface, such as the hood of a car. The top suction cups may be used to secure a snowboard or ski horizontally to the fixture for waxing and maintaining the bottom of the snowboard or ski or for working on the binding(s).
