Abstract
A device for lifting a wheel and rolling the wheel on a surface includes an elongated rigid plate having a top side, a bottom side, a peripheral edge, a pedal portion at a rear end of the rigid plate, and a wheel portion at a forward end of the rigid plate. A ground roller is fixed with the bottom side of the rigid plate and at least two wheel rollers are fixed with a top side of the wheel portion. In use, with the wheel resting on the wheel rollers, the pedal portion may be pressed downwardly to pivot the rigid plate about the roller to lift the wheel. The lifting device is then rolled on the surface to place the wheel at a desired position, and rotated until obtaining a desired rotational orientation.
Claims3
A wheel roller accessory for a wheel lifting device of the type having a wheel portion that lifts a wheel off of a ground surface, the wheel roller accessory comprising:
- a substantially flat and elongated wheel roller bracket having a top side, a bottom side, and two opposing side edges, at least two wheel rollers fixed at the top side of the wheel roller bracket proximate the two opposing side edges, the wheel rollers having a mutually parallel rotational axis, the wheel roller bracket fixed with the wheel portion of the wheel lifting device;
- whereby with the wheel resting on the at least two wheel rollers of the wheel roller bracket, the lifting device may be used to lift the wheel off of the ground surface and place the wheel at a desired position, the wheel rotatable on the at least two wheel rollers to place the wheel at a desired rotational orientation;
- wherein each of the at least one wheel roller is fixed with the top side of the wheel roller bracket with a pair of roller tabs formed from the wheel roller bracket and bent upwardly from the two opposing side edges thereof to rotationally capture two opposing ends of the wheel roller.
