Abstract: A mobile storage container readily disposable under the frame of a bed supported off the ground by legs. The container includes a body structure having a bottom wall, side walls, and an open top, a cover of flexible material for the open top and for fitting and extending over the side walls, and caster assemblies for supporting the body for rolling movement. Hand-hold cutouts provided in the side walls of the body, and corresponding openings in the cover, provide ventilation of the container interior, and for ready grasping thereof for movement under and from beneath a bed. The height of the container from the bottom of the caster assemblies to the top of the side walls is less than the height of the bed frame supported off the ground by legs. The caster assemblies are recessed to provide maximum storage volume and maximum mobility for a minimum container height, and the cover is transparent so that the container contents may be viewed without removal thereof.
Abstract: A support mount is disclosed for journalling a roller or the like upon a wire basket or similar structure such as that offered in dishwashers and like appliances. The wire basket includes a bi-legged eyelet to which the mount is secured. The mount comprises an axle for rotatably carrying the roller and an axle extension. A backing plate formed at an end of the axle extension supports a plurality of arms adapted to embracibly engage the wire basket eyelet. A radially elongated backup skirt inhibits mount tipping.
Abstract: A mounting structure for a wheel mounting assembly such as a caster assembly having a mounting plate. Mounting blocks of viscoelastic rubber-like material are mounted on corners of the mounting plate. Each mounting block includes flanges which define a slot in which an edge portion of the mounting plate is received. Brackets attached to a support panel of a cart or the like supported by the caster assembly hold the flanges in compression against the faces of the mounting plate and against the panel so that the panel and the cart or the like are viscoelastically supported in spaced relation to a surface on which a wheel of the assembly runs.
Abstract: Tandem wheels mounted on a common axle are connected to a movable vehicle such as a baby carriage, stroller, wheelchair or the like in a configuration which permits maximum stability and freedom of motion. The axis of the wheels is pivotally attached and offset in trailing relation to and on opposite sides of the mounting spindle with an intermediary shock cushioning arrangement. The spindle has a common shaft with a lower section arranged to provide an interfacing shoulder to a rotatably mounted upper section. The upper section includes means for attachment to the vehicle frame.
