摘要： A reusable, releasably lockable wheel assembly comprising a wheel having a centrally disposed hub defining an aperture in which is received an axle. A spring having diametrically opposed lugs is disposed on one side of the hub and the lugs extend into the aperture of the hub so that when the axle is inserted into the aperture, the lugs are biased into the groove on the end of the axle to lock the wheel to the axle. The lugs can be forced outwardly by a tool to withdraw the lugs from the groove so that the axle can be unlocked with respect to the wheel for removal of the wheel. In one embodiment, cooperation between a wheel cover and the spring limits slidable movement between the wheel and axle. In another embodiment, cooperation between an end cap on the wheel hub and the spring limits the slidable movement.

摘要： A wheel assembly for small powered equipment including a wheel and a tire mounted on the wheel. The wheel has an outer circumferential surface and inclined cleats projecting from the outer circumferential surface. The cleats are arranged in sets of 6-7 cleats. Each set of cleats is inclined in a direction that alternates with the direction of the cleats in adjacent sets. The tire is provided with ribs along the inner circumferential surface that engage the edge of the cleats. Accordingly, regardless of which direction the tire is driven, slippage of the tire will occur only to a limited extent until the ribs of the tire engage with the edges of the cleats facing in the appropriate direction. Thereafter, rotation of the wheel in the same direction will not result in slippage between the tire and the wheel, and rotation in the opposite direction will result in only that degree of slip necessary to bring the ribs into engagement with the cleats of an adjacent set.

摘要翻译： 用于小功率设备的轮组件，包括安装在车轮上的轮和轮胎。 车轮具有外圆周表面和从外圆周表面突出的倾斜夹板。 防滑板以6-7个夹层的形式排列。 每组夹板在与相邻组中的防滑钉的方向交替的方向上倾斜。 轮胎沿内圆周表面设有肋条，从而与楔子的边缘接合。 因此，无论轮胎的哪个方向被驱动，轮胎的滑动将仅在有限的程度上发生，直到轮胎的肋条与夹板的边缘沿适当的方向相接合。 此后，车轮沿相同方向的旋转不会导致轮胎和车轮之间的滑动，并且沿相反方向的旋转将仅导致使肋条与相邻组件的防滑钉接合所需的滑动程度 。
