Conical bearing for a wheel assembly for a luggage item

摘要

A wheel assembly (102) for a luggage item and a luggage item. The wheel assembly (102) may include a housing (136) for operably coupling the wheel assembly (102) to a luggage item. The wheel assembly (102) may also include a wheel support (138) rotatably coupled to the housing (136) and having a first axis of rotation. The wheel support (138) may be coupled to a wheel member (140) having a second axis of rotation. A friction reduction member (142) may be positioned between the housing (136) and the wheel support (138) to facilitate the relative rotation therebetween. The wheel support (138) may include an underside defining in part a conical shape.
