Mecanum wheel |
摘要 |
A Mecanum wheel having a circular plate with a plurality of peripheral flanges formed thereon, the flanges having tab portions bent at an angle of less than 90° from said plate; a roller being mounted to and cantilevering off of each of said tab portions such that the axis of rotation of each roller is at corresponding angle of less than 90° from said plate. In some cases, the angles are approximately the same, being approximately 45°. By cantilevering the rollers, more space is available for use by machines using this Mecanum wheel design. |

1. A wheel comprising:
a circular plate including a plurality of flanges arranged about a periphery of the plate, each of the flanges having an outer tab portion, the tab portions projecting laterally from the flanges at an angle of less than 60° from a plane of the plate, the tab portions defining lateral extensions about the plate's periphery; and a plurality of rollers, each roller being supported by a corresponding one of the flanges, each roller extending from a corresponding one of the tab portions such that axis of rotation of each roller is at a corresponding angle of less than 90° from the plane of the plate. |
