  • Publication number: 20190118578
    Abstract: The invention relates to a roller, in particular furniture roller, having a housing which is rotatably fastened, by means of a runner pin arranged vertically in an opening of the housing, to an object to be supported by the roller, wherein the runner pin has a first section which is arranged in the opening of the housing and a second section which projects beyond the housing. To create, in a simple and cost-effective manner, a runner pin which permanently prevents an undesired generation of noise as a result of relative movements between the runner pin and the object to be supported, it is proposed according to the invention that at least two annular grooves are provided in that section of the runner pin which projects beyond the housing, in which annular grooves in each case one elastic retaining ring is arranged without play.

  • Publication number: 20100287730
    Abstract: The invention relates to a caster, in particular furniture caster, having a housing which is rotatably fastened, by means of a caster stem arranged vertically in an opening of the housing, to an object to be supported by the caster, wherein the caster stem has a first section which is arranged in the opening of the housing and a second section which projects beyond the housing. To create, in a simple and cost-effective manner, a caster stem which permanently prevents an undesired generation of noise as a result of relative movements between the caster stem and the object to be supported, it is proposed according to the invention that at least two annular grooves are provided in that section of the caster stem which projects beyond the housing, in which annular grooves in each case one elastic retaining ring is arranged without play.
