Bearing support for wheel

摘要

A wheel assembly includes a tubular spindle having a central portion of reduced diameter defining at each axial end of the central portion an axially facing locking surface. Two annular bearing members encircle and are supported on the spindle on opposite sides of the reduced diameter central portion, each bearing member having at least one resilient locking member which projects axially toward the other bearing member and which has a shoulder engageable with a respective shoulder on the spindle. Each bearing member has at its axially outer end a radial projection which carries an axially inwardly facing annular surface. A wheel has a central axial opening, the spindle and bearing members being disposed within the opening and the radially outer surfaces of the bearing members engaging the central axial opening through the wheel. The wheel has at each end of the central opening an axially outwardly facing surface which engages the surface on the radial projection of a respective bearing member.
