ABSTRACT:
A wheel kit for mobilizing a picnic table and the like, comprising a handle assembly adapted to be attached to a horizontal member for lifting one end of the table and one or two wheel assemblies adapted to be attached to a leg or leg members at the opposite end of the table is disclosed. When the table is lifted by the handle assembly, the wheels of the wheel assemblies serve to move the table over the ground. The assemblies have thin sheet metal bracket members including L-shaped portions and channel-forming rims which are secured to the respective table members by fasteners such as screws and/or nails. Each bracket member has a horizontal part that is interposed between the respective leg end and the ground while the associated horizontal part carries the wheel at a fixed distance from the horizontal part and thus the ground. Thus the wheel is always properly positioned for ground clearance with the table horizontal and ground engagement when tilted. Moreover a single size of bracket can be accurately and firmly secured to table legs, etc. of different thickness.
