Abstract: The specification discloses a wheel carriage assembly (10) for supporting sliding doors or other similar panels with the wheel carriage assembly (10) rolling along a fixed guide track (11), the wheel carriage assembly (10) having at least one and often multiple pairs (17, 18) of laterally spaced wheels (19, 20) adapted to roll along the fixed guide track (11), the wheels (19, 20) of the or each said pair of wheels (17, 18) being mounted to a shaft (21) and at least one of the wheels (19, 20) being capable of limited axial movement relative to the shaft (21).

Abstract: The present specification discloses a carriage body (10) and a bearing (24) as a sub assembly for use in a roller wheel assembly (32), the bearing (24) centrally supporting a roller wheel supporting shaft (27) for rotation, in use, about a rotation axis defined by the rotation shaft (27), the bearing (24) having an outer peripheral mounting surface (50), the carriage body (10) being in one piece defining a bearing support cavity (17) providing a support surface (23) engaging at least a portion of the outer peripheral mounting surface (50) of the bearing (24), the one piece carriage body (10) further having a bearing access opening (28) whereby the bearing (24) is operationally positioned in the bearing support cavity (17) by movement through the access opening (28) in a direction transverse to the rotation axis defined by the support shaft (27).

Abstract: A roller support assembly is used to support sliding doors, windows or the like. The assembly includes a housing member having spaced apart side walls and interconnecting transverse walls defining a roller receiving zone for receiving and operationally mounting a roller assembly. The roller assembly has a roller body with a rolling peripheral rim and a shaft whereby the roller body is rotatable relative to the shaft having short stub axle parts. The housing side walls including openings that are fully enclosed by the side walls into which the short stub axle parts fit. The housing side walls further include projecting elements extending inwardly from an inner surface of a housing side wall to cooperate with the corresponding roller body side wall surfaces to spay the housing side walls apart as the roller assembly is moved into the roller receiving zone to locate the stub axle parts in the openings.
