ABSTRACT:
An axle positioning structure to provide stable positioning and an automatic reposition function includes an axle and a rotary member. The axle has a stem with an axial tangent surface. The rotary member has a non-continuous annular sleeve slightly larger than the outer diameter of the stem. The annular sleeve has a pressing surface on an end corresponding to the axial tangent surface. The pressing surface can be swiveled away from the axial tangent surface and then press on the perimeter of the stem such that the inner diameter of the annular sleeve is expanded to provide a pressing force for the stable positioning. When the pressing surface is swiveled to the middle portion of the axial tangent surface, the pressing surface escapes from the perimeter of the stem so that the annular sleeve provides a returning force to automatically return to the original position.
