Elastomeric Biased Caster
US Patent:
6499184, Dec 31, 2002
Filed:
May 14, 2001
Appl. No.:
09/853795
Inventors:
Jack R. Plate - Clarklake MI
Assignee:
Ross Design Engineering, Inc. - Cement City MI
International Classification:
B60B 3300
US Classification:
16 44, 16 18 R, 16 35 D, 16 19, 16 29
Abstract:
A caster supporting weight through a biasing device an elastomeric material, such as polyurethane, to elastomerically support the weight transmitted through the caster. The components are concisely related to each other, the elastic material is protected against damage, including excessive weight supporting forces, and in an embodiment of the invention, vertical caster adjustment is possible without affecting its elastomeric weight bearing characteristics.
Hydraulic Constant Force Caster
US Patent:
6550101, Apr 22, 2003
Filed:
Jul 30, 2001
Appl. No.:
09/917852
Inventors:
Jack R. Plate - Clarklake MI
Assignee:
Ross Design Engineering, Inc. - Cement City MI
International Classification:

US Classification:
16 48, 16 19, 16 32, 16 35 D, 16 44, 280 4317
Abstract:
A caster system wherein a constant force is applied to the caster for load support purposes. A plurality of casters are interconnected by a fluid conduit system and each caster includes an expansible chamber motor for adjusting the vertical position of the caster. A fluid pressurizing unit communicates with the conduits and an adjustable force compression spring selectively varies the biasing force on the piston to adjust the equal force imposed upon each caster wheel.
