Abstract
A detachable wheel mounting assembly for golf trolleys and the like comprises a plastics bearing sleeve (5) carrying the wheel (6) rotatably mounted thereon and held by a captive washer (9). Extending rearwardly of the sleeve (5) and integral therewith is a resilient finger tab (17) carrying a detent notch which engages a fixed detent (19) when the sleeve with the wheel attached is axially mounted on the stub axle or shaft (2) to lock the wheel on the shaft. When it is desired to detach the wheel, the detent is disengaged by finger pressure on the finger tab (17) permitting the wheel (6) and hearing sleeve (8) to be removed as a unitary assembly.
