Roller
The invention relates to a roller ( 1 ) having a wheel ( 2 ), which is accommodated in a housing, and a locking device ( 10, 17 ), the locking device ( 10, 17 ) being actuated by foot actuation of an actuating element ( 5 ) which is arranged so that it extends radially outwardly with respect to a vertical (V) that passes through a securing portion of the roller ( 1 ). To provide a roller which is advantageously formed with regard to locking by foot operation, it is proposed that an actuating portion of the actuating element ( 5 ) extends circumferentially at least far enough that a second foot actuation in the circumferential direction with respect to the vertical (V) may be carried out next to an area of the actuating portion by way of which a first foot actuation has been carried out.
1. A roller ( 1 ) having a wheel ( 2 ), which is accommodated in a housing, and a locking device ( 10 , 17 ), the locking device ( 10 , 17 ) being actuated by foot actuation of an actuating element ( 5 ) which is arranged so that it extends radially outwardly with respect to a vertical (V) that passes through a securing portion of the roller ( 1 ),
wherein an actuating portion of the actuating element ( 5 ) extends circumferentially 360° with respect to the vertical; and
wherein the actuating element ( 5 ) moves completely vertically as a whole during an actuation;
wherein a vertical portion ( 4 ) is a guide for the actuating element ( 5 ), and wherein a cylindrical projection ( 7 ) of a disk-like body of the actuating element ( 5 ) is for guidance on an outer surface of said vertical portion ( 4 ); and
wherein there is a complete circumference extension, which is without an interruption; and
wherein an action part ( 10 ) which acts on a running surface ( 9 ) of the wheel ( 2 ) is provided;
wherein the actuating element ( 5 ) interacts with the action part ( 10 ) via a plurality of action cams ( 23 ) which engage in succession the action part ( 10 ) and are provided on a rotatably mounted cam wheel ( 24 ).
2. The roller according to claim 1 , wherein the actuating portion is provided around the circumference of a vertical axis of the roller and the vertical (V) is passing through a securing portion ( 6 ) of the roller.
3. The roller according to claim 1 , wherein the actuating element ( 5 ) has a radially outward impact protector ( 21 ) which is freely rotatable with respect to the actuating element ( 5 ).
4. The roller according to claim 1 , wherein an indicator ( 29 ) on the roller which indicates the foot actuation is provided.
5. The roller according to claim 1 , wherein the actuating element ( 5 ) interacts with the action part ( 10 ) by way of a wedge pair.
6. The roller according to claim 5 , wherein the wedge pair is self-locking in the actuated state.
7. The roller according to claim 1 , wherein the actuating element ( 5 ) acts on the action part ( 10 ) in two successive actuations with different action cams ( 23 ).
