Also, disclosed is a wheel system, for use with a track, the wheel system having a wheel carriage; a set of wheels, attached to the wheel carriage; —a link, having a first end, operatively attached to the wheel carriage; wherein angles of the wheels and the width of the wheel carriage are sized to fit into multiple sizes of tracks.
Claims13
A wheel system, for use with a track, said wheel system comprising:
- a wheel carriage, wherein the wheel carriage includes axles and an opening;
- a set of wheels, attached to the axles of the wheel carriage;
- a ball-chain link having a plurality of linked balls, wherein a ball on a first end of the ball-chain link is releasably inserted into the opening of the wheel carriage using a press fit wherein the ball on the first end is press fit over a nib and retained by the nib, wherein the opening of the wheel carriage has slot for receiving a line or wire between the ball of the first end of the ball-chain link and the adjacent ball to the ball on the first end of the ball-chain link, and wherein a ball on a second end of the ball-chain link is releasably inserted into an opening of an extension connector or an end cap extending from an end of a rod, wherein the opening of the extension connector or end cap has a slot for receiving a line or wire between the ball of the second end of the ball-chain link and the adjacent ball to the second end of the ball-chain link, wherein the extension connector or end cap has a cylindrical opening adapted to receive the ball of the second end of the ball-chain link, wherein the cylindrical opening includes a first diameter for receiving the ball of the second end of the ball-chain link and a second diameter or reduced diameter for engaging and releasably retaining the ball of the second end of the ball-chain link.
A wheel system, comprising:
- a wheel carriage, wherein the wheel carriage includes axles and an opening;
- a set of wheels, attached to the axles of the wheel carriage;
- a ball-chain link having a plurality of linked balls, wherein a ball on a first end of the ball-chain link is releasably inserted into the opening of the wheel carriage using a press fit wherein the ball on the first end is press fit over a nib and retained by the nib, wherein the opening of the wheel carriage has a slot for receiving a line or wire between the ball of the first end of the ball-chain link and the adjacent ball to the ball on the first end of the ball-chain link, and wherein a ball on a second end of the ball-chain link is releasably inserted into an opening of an extension connector or an end cap extending from an end of a rod, wherein the extension connector or end cap includes an opening sized for receiving the ball on the second end of the ball-chain link, wherein said opening is cylindrical and has a length and a diameter and further comprises a nib for holding the ball on the second end of the ball-chain link, wherein said nib reduces the diameter of the cylinder as compared to the opening for receiving the ball on the second of the ball-chain link, wherein the opening of the extension connector or end cap has a slot for receiving a line or wire between the ball of the second end of the ball-chain link and the adjacent ball to the second end of the ball-chain link.
