Abstract: The caster is essentially characterized by the fact that it includes at least one wheel 1 including a hub 10 and a train 11 situated around the hub 10, a cover-plate 21, clip elements 22 suitable for clipping the cover-plate to the hub 10, the clip elements 22 for clipping the cover-plate to the hub 10 including at least one hole 30 made in the hub 10, at least two hooks 31, 32 mounted to project from the intermediate cover-plate 21 so that when the cover-plate 21 is clipped to the hub 10, the two hooks 31, 32 deform elastically and catch on the edge 34 of the hole 30 defining between them an inter-hook empty space 35. Application to casters used for making it easier to move items such as pieces of furniture, suitcases mounted on casters, or the like.

Abstract: A castor includes a casing constituted by a part having at least one housing suitable for receiving a pivot defined on an axis, and a bearing defined on an axis perpendicular to the axis, at least one wheel suitable for running on a surface, a shaft mounted to co-operate in the bearing, the wheel being mounted in association with the shaft, the part being constituted by at least two portions and that are made respectively of two materials of different flexibilities, the portion presenting the greater flexibility being interposed between the housing and the axial orifice of the bearing so as to isolate the housing and the bearing from each other. The castors may be used with furniture or the like, in particular in a hospital setting, e.g. for beds, tables, walkers, and also for moving suitcases, baggage, or the like.

Abstract: A castor with combined blocking includes a casing 10, a wheel 12, 14 mounted to rotate relative to the casing about an axis 18, a swivel 20 of axis 22 mounted to pivot relative to the casing, the axis being perpendicular to the axis, blocking elements 100 for blocking the swivel, control elements 102 for actuating the blocking elements, blocking elements 200 for blocking the wheel, control elements 202 for actuating the blocking elements 200, and elements 300 for coupling the control elements 102, 202 in such a manner that when the blocking elements 100 are actuated alone by the control elements 102, the blocking elements 200 are not actuated, and when the blocking elements 200 are actuated by the second control elements, the first blocking elements 202 are also actuated by the first control elements 102. The castor is applicable for hospital use, such hospital beds or the like.

Abstract: A plurality of castors for a piece of furniture, each castor including a casing, two wheels, and fastener elements for fastening to the piece of furniture. The casing is made up of two units, each made as a single piece, the first unit including a portion constituted by a portion of the wheel casing and a portion constituted by a portion of the swivel casing, the second unit including a portion constituted by another portion of the wheel casing and a portion constituted by another portion of the swivel casing. The two units are adapted to be associated with each other to form the casing in such a manner that the portions of the first unit and the portions of the second unit engage respectively one in the other, and elements are provided for securing the two units together.

Abstract: A castor includes a body, a wall of a rotary bearing, a wheel including an orifice, a rotary shaft, elements for mounting the shaft to co-operate with the bearing wall, the latter having a first bearing wall portion of tuning-fork-shape defining a slot between two limbs and another bearing wall portion having a base and a tenon secured to the base, the tenon may be engaged in the slot. The elements include two oblong holes formed in the limbs and a third oblong hole formed in the tenon. The holes are arranged in the limbs, and in the tenon in such a manner that all three of them are centered on a first axis when the tenon is engaged in the slot. The shaft passes through the bearing wall so that its axis is substantially parallel to the first axis and can be engaged in the orifice in the wheel.
