ABSTRACT:
A wheel assembly is disclosed having a circular rim that lies in and defines a plane of rotation, a pair of opposed hubs spaced outwardly from the plane of rotation along an axis of rotation of the wheel, the axis of rotation bisecting the plane of rotation at the center of a circle defined by the rim within the plane, and a plurality of spring members arranged in laterally-opposed sets, each of which spring members radiates in an outwardly expanding, generally conical and helical manner from a point of attachment on the rim to a point of attachment on one of the hubs, thereby imparting to the wheel the ability to withstand improved vertical and/or horizontal displacements while providing advantageous self-centering and recentering abilities when the wheel rim is displaced from the rotative plane or from its normally centered relation to the axis of rotation.
