Abstract
A wheel assembly comprising a shaft configured for rotatable connection to an object to be rendered mobile for rotation around a first axis, a hub rotatably connected to the shaft for rotation around a second axis, and two hemispherical members rotatably connected to the hub for rotation around a third axis. The shaft comprises at least one angled portion to define the first axis while the non-angled portion defines the second axis.
Claims18
A wheel assembly comprising:
- a shaft configured for rotatable connection to an object for rotation around a first axis, the first axis being non-vertical when the shaft is connected to the object;
- a hub rotatably connected to the shaft for rotation around a second axis;
- and
- two hemispherical members rotatably connected to the hub for rotation around a third axis;
- the shaft comprising an angled portion to define the second axis and at least one non-angled portion to define the first axis;
- and
- wherein the first axis and the second axis are at a non-normal angle to each other.
