Abstract: A dual wheel caster wherein the parts thereof are fabricated from steel, or other sheet metal, including a body frame member made from a metal stamping having an integral socket for a vertical swivel stem and carrying an axle, and a pair of supporting wheel members on respectively opposite sides of the body frame member and a fender with the wheels supported from the body frame member and comprised of a sheet metal stamping and a bottom support member for the fender.

Abstract: An enclosed axle, inclined wheel caster including a generally disc like pivot support, or body frame member, which may be flat or dished, carrying an axle and a supporting wheel member rotatably mounted on the axle, both of such members being made from stampings, moulding or forgings and a cover formed of opposed saucers, or cupped members, or combinations of these forms, attached to each of the members to give the swivelable caster a generally enclosed form. As an alternative form of the invention, one or both the body frame member and the supporting wheel member may be made as castings, or mouldings each having light weight opposed saucers, cupped, bulged or non-bulged truncated cone forms attached thereto to provide a covering for the body frame and axle of the completed caster.

Abstract: A vent apparatus is mounted on an automobile door at the forward edge of the window opening, and the apparatus has a transparent plate which is secured permanently at an acute angle relative to the door glass. The apparatus includes two unitary die cast brackets each of which has a channel in its outer surface and in which the leading edge of the transparent plate is fixedly mounted. The shapes of the channels and the adhesive material employed for securing the transparent plate therein are such as to avoid creation of stress points in the transparent plate if the brackets are slightly misaligned during assembly on the automobile.

Abstract: A rearview mirror for mounting on the side of a motor vehicle and constructed and arranged so that it will swing away when contacted by any obstacle whether moving in a forward or reverse direction. The mirror includes a mounting bracket for attachment to a laterally recessed portion of the vehicle adjacent to the door glass, a ball socket in the bracket and a swivel ball shaft retained in the ball socket and connected to the lower inboard corner of the mirror housing so that substantially all components will be capable of swinging movement if engaging any obstacle.
