Abstract
A complete wheel assembly is provided for connecting to a modular base assembly for vehicle modular making. The complete wheel assembly includes a wheel guide assembly fixedly attachable to the modular base assembly and a wheel bracket attachable to a wheel hub and wheel. The wheel bracket provides a quick connection to the wheel guide assembly. The wheel bracket includes adjustable plates to move the wheel horizontally and vertically relative to the modular base assembly for correct positioning of the wheel. The wheel bracket also includes a pin for maintaining the wheel hub and wheel in proper horizontal alignment.
Claims11
A complete wheel assembly for receiving a wheel hub for a modular base assembly having a frame formed with a plurality of linearly orientated apertures therethrough, said model base assembly used for vehicle model making, the complete wheel assembly comprising:
- a wheel guide assembly fixedly attachable to the modular base assembly;
- and a wheel bracket assembly fixedly attachable to a wheel hub, said wheel bracket assembly having an inner platen plate with an arm extending from one surface of the inner platen plate and said wheel guide assembly having a cavity configured to slidably receive and frictionally hold the arm for connecting the wheel bracket assembly to the wheel guide assembly, said wheel bracket assembly further having a mid platen plate and an outer platen plate, said mid platen plate connected to and horizontally movable relative to the inner platen plate, and the mid platen plate connected to and vertically movable relative to the outer platen plate, wherein said outer platen plate is fixedly connectable to the wheel hub.
