Abstract
A roller blade wheel caddy including a plurality of stations for individually storing a plurality of disassembled roller blade wheel assemblies each including a roller blade wheel, a pair of roller blade bearings for rotatably mounting the wheel on a shaft, and a tubular bearing spacer for axially spacing the bearings on the shaft. Each of the stations includes a wheel well of a predetermined magnitude for receiving a wheel, an associated wheel bearing well which has a substantially reduced magnitude, and an associated spacer storage member for storing the spacer associated with the wheel. Indicia is provided for indicating a predetermined rotational sequence for the roller blade assemblies. A wheel assembly peg is provided for use in assembling the parts and a storage well is also provided for storing miscellaneous parts.
Claims12
A roller blade wheel caddy for storing a plurality of roller skate blade wheel assemblies for a roller blade skate, each assembly including a roller blade wheel, a pair of wheel bearings for rotatably mounting the wheel on a shaft, and a tubular bearing spacer for axially spacing said bearings on said shaft, said caddy comprising:
- frame means having a plurality of spaced apart storage stations;
- means on said frame means for storing said wheel, bearings and spacer of each of said roller skate assemblies in a group at one of said stations spaced from each other group of wheel, bearings, and spacer of each other roller skate assembly at each of said other stations including
- wheel storage means at each of said plurality of stations, having a predetermined physical magnitude for receiving and storing said roller blade wheels;
- wheel bearing storage means, adjacent said wheel storage means, at each of said stations and having a lesser predetermined physical magnitude which is less than said predetermined physical magnitude, for receiving and storing said wheel bearing utilized to mount said roller blade wheel stored in said adjacent wheel storage means;
- and
- spacer storage means at each of said stations, disposed adjacent one of said wheel storage means and said wheel bearing storage means, for receiving and storing said tubular spacer utilized to space said bearings received by said wheel bearing storage means at each of said stations;
- each of said wheel storage means comprising an upwardly opening wheel well having a predetermined depth and each of said upwardly opening wheel bearing storage means comprising an upwardly opening wheel bearing storage well of a lesser predetermined depth less than said predetermined breadth;
- said spacer storage means comprising an upstanding peg adjacent one of said wheel well and said wheel bearing well at each of said stations.
