ABSTRACT:
A caster device for attachment to a first and a second member of a frame is disclosed, the members being disposed angularly relative to each other to define a corner of the frame. The members define apertures and attachment slots. The device includes a caster for supporting the frame and a top plate supported by the caster. The top plate has a first and a second edge, the second edge extending angularly away from the first edge. The first edge of the top plate extends along the first member of the frame. Also, the second edge of the top plate extends along the second member of the frame. A first wall has a first and a second end, the first wall extending from the first edge of the top plate. Additionally, the first wall is aligned with and extends along the first member. A second wall has a first and a second extremity, the second wall extending from the second edge of the top plate. The second wall is aligned with and extends along the second member. A first tab extends from the first wall, the first tab extending through one of the attachment slots of the first member. Also, a second tab extends from the second wall, the second tab extending through one of the attachment slots of the second member. The first and second tabs facilitate location of the caster device relative to the corner of the frame. Moreover, a first interlocking tab defines a first hook, the first interlocking tab extending from the first wall. The first interlocking tab extends through one of the attachment slots of the first member for interlocking the device to the frame and further supporting the frame. Additionally, a second interlocking tab defines a second hook, the second interlocking tab extending from the second wall. The second interlocking tab extends through one of the attachment slots of the second member for interlocking the device to the frame and further supporting the frame.
