ABSTRACT:
A roller wheel assembly for use with golf bag covers or other types of luggage is disclosed. The roller wheel assembly (10) includes a housing (12) and a wheel (14). The housing (10) has an exterior surface (34) and an elongate recessed channel (36). The wheel (14) is elongate and rotatably mourned in the channel (36) of the housing (10) so as to partially protrude beyond the surface (34) of the housing. The wheel (14) includes two circular end plates (42), each having an inner surface (44) and an outer surface (46). A rigid transverse webbing (50) extends radially between the inner surfaces of the end plates, maintaining a planar relationship between the end plates. The webbing includes longitudinal dividers (52) that lie perpendicular to the inner surface of the end plates and run the length of the wheel. The width of the dividers equals the diameter of the end plates, the dividers intersect at the center point of each end plate, and the longitudinal dividers divide the space between the two end plates into a plurality of sections (54). The webbing also includes a plurality of sectors (56), angled with respect to the end plates and located between the longitudinal dividers (52).
