Patent number: 10486466Abstract: A castor structure includes a wheel support unit, an operation unit, a locking member, a directional member, a directional brake member, a bent elastic bar, and two resting members. The operation unit includes a drive shank formed with an annular groove which has an upper tapered face and a lower tapered face. The locking member includes a plurality of locking teeth. The directional brake member includes a plurality of directional toothed grooves. The elastic bar extends through the directional member and the annular groove. Thus, the elastic bar is stretched outward by the annular groove of the drive shank when the drive shank is moved downward, to provide a micro-adjustment effect, such that the directional toothed grooves of the directional brake member align with and exactly engage the locking teeth of the locking member.Type: GrantFiled: December 7, 2018Date of Patent: November 26, 2019Assignee: Sunny Castors Co., Ltd.Inventor: Feng-Hsi Yang

Publication number: 20140317880Abstract: A castor assembly includes a castor unit, a positioning unit, and a brake unit. The castor unit includes a housing and two rollers. The housing has a neck portion and a body portion. The positioning unit includes a fixing block located under the neck portion, a toothed plate pivotally connected with the body portion, and two restoring springs biased between the toothed plate and the body portion. The fixing block has an annular toothed portion. The toothed plate has a plurality of locking teeth that are movable to engage the toothed portion. The brake unit includes a braking block having two braking faces press the rollers. Thus, the toothed plate presses the fixing block by the elastic force of the restoring springs so that the locking teeth of the toothed plate engage the toothed portion of the fixing block closely.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 29, 2013Publication date: October 30, 2014Inventor: Feng-Hsi Yang

Patent number: 8516656Abstract: A combination castor includes a control unit, a linking unit, and at least two castor units. The control unit includes at least one mounting seat, at least one bushing mounted in the at least one mounting seat, and a pedal pivotally located at a side of the at least one mounting seat. The linking unit includes a propeller shaft extended through the at least one bushing and locked onto the pedal, at least one rotation plate secured on the propeller shaft, and at least two links each pivotally connected with the at least one rotation plate and the respective castor unit. Thus, when the pedal is stepped, the propeller shaft is driven to rotate the at least one rotation plate which drives the links to operate the castor units so as to brake or position the castor units simultaneously.Type: GrantFiled: January 11, 2012Date of Patent: August 27, 2013Assignee: Sunny Castors Co., Ltd.Inventors: Ming-Hsien Lin, Feng-Hsi Yang

Patent number: 8484802Abstract: A combination castor includes a linking device, and a plurality of castor assemblies connected with the linking device. Each of the castor assemblies includes an operation unit, a braking unit, and at least one roller. The operation unit of each of the castor assemblies includes a mounting seat, a slide, and a driven block. The braking unit of each of the castor assemblies includes a bushing, a housing, a control shaft, and a braking member. The roller of each of the castor assemblies has an inner periphery provided with a plurality of locking grooves. Thus, the linking device can drive and operate the castor assemblies to brake and position the castor assemblies simultaneously.Type: GrantFiled: January 11, 2012Date of Patent: July 16, 2013Assignee: Sunny Castors Co., Ltd.Inventors: Ming-Hsien Lin, Feng-Hsi Yang

Patent number: 8418315Abstract: A combination castor brake system includes a linking device, and a plurality of castor assemblies connected with the linking device. Each of the castor assemblies includes an operation unit, a braking unit connected with the operation unit, and at least one roller connected with the braking unit. The operation unit of each of the castor assemblies includes a mounting seat, a slide, and at least two limit rods. The braking unit of each of the castor assemblies includes a housing, a top cap, a control shaft, an elastic member, and a braking member. The roller of each of the castor assemblies is rotatably mounted on the housing of the braking unit. Thus, the linking device can drive and operate the castor assemblies to brake and position the castor assemblies simultaneously.Type: GrantFiled: January 11, 2012Date of Patent: April 16, 2013Assignee: Sunny Castors Co., Ltd.Inventors: Ming-Hsien Lin, Feng-Hsi Yang

Publication number: 20120255141Abstract: A castor assembly includes a support unit, a frame unit, a brake unit, and an operation unit. The frame unit includes a frame, a locating flange, and a wheel. The support unit includes a bearing, and an inner bushing. The brake unit includes a control shaft, a braking block, a lower toothed disk, an upper toothed disk, a locking block, and an elastic member. The operation unit includes a housing, a drive seat, a pressing roll, a cam block, and a restoring member. Thus, when the braking block presses the wheel to stop movement of the wheel, the upper toothed disk meshes with the lower toothed disk to lock the lower toothed disk and the braking block so that the wheel is locked and cannot be turned freely when the wheel is braked.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 6, 2011Publication date: October 11, 2012Inventors: Ming-Hsien Lin, Feng-Hsi Yang, Po-Lu Chen
