Benefits of technology

It is therefore .[.a primary.]. .Iadd.an .Iaddend.object of the present invention to provide an improved wheel assembly for a golf cart which can diminish the defects and disadvantages of a known wheel assembly.

Problems solved by technology

(1) For attachments of the sleeve 11 and nut 12 to the golf cart, welding is necessary that results being labor consuming and relatively expensive in manufacture of this wheel assembly; and
(2) In mounting operation, it is time consuming that the clamp screw 13 should be threaded into the central passage of the sleeve 11 and correspondingly engaging the recess 311 of the axle 31.

Embodiment Construction

Referring now to FIGS. 4 to 6, .Iadd.there is shown a releasable engaging device for engaging an engageable member. The releasable engaging device includes housing means, which may be, for example, a bracket 4, and an engageable member, such as an axle 31. The engageable member may be releasably engaged by means of locking means which may include, for example, a locking member 5, operatively connected to the bracket 4, as more fully discussed below. Thus, there is provided .Iaddend.a wheel assembly for a golf cart according to the present invention.Iadd.. The releasable engaging device .Iaddend.includes .[.a.]. .Iadd.housing or .Iaddend.bracket 4 formed with a mounting slot 40 which extends upwardly inwardly and is equally divided by a partition 41 for firmly receiving lower end portions of two parallel legs 2 by means of rivets, a wheel set 3 having a wheel 32 rotatably mounting on an axle mechanism which has .[.an.]. axle 31 circumferentially formed with .[.a.]. .Iadd.an indentati...

Abstract

A releasable wheel assembly for golf cart includes a bracket member attached to lower end of a leg member of a golf cart, a wheel set having a wheel rotatably mounting on an axle mechanism having an axle laterally extending into the bracket member and a locking member extending transversely into the bracket member and being slidably secured therein by means of a rivet for releasable engagement with the axle to secure the wheel set to the bracket.

Description

.[.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION.]. .Iadd.FIELD OF APPLICATION .Iaddend.The present invention relates to .[.an assembly for releasably attaching wheels to a golf cart.]. .Iadd.a device for releasably engaging a member.Iaddend...Iadd.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION--DESCRIPTION OF THE PRIOR ART .Iaddend.There are presently available .[.for use a wide variety of types of wheel assemblies for golf carts..]. .Iadd.many means for the releasable attachment of a member. Such means of attachment are frequently used to attach, for example, wheel sets to a golf cart. .Iaddend.As shown in FIGS. 1 to 3, a known golf cart wheel assembly includes a bracket 1 pivotally connected to lower end of a leg 2. The bracket 1 carries a sleeve 11 which defines a central passage extending transversely relative to the golf cart. A nut 12 is secured to a side wall of the sleeve 11 by means of welding and defines a screw passage inwardly communicating the central passage of the sleeve 11 through an opening (not shown...
