Abstract

A wheel supporter and shaft for a golf-cart includes a wheel shaft having an end portion protruding out of a wheel. The protruding end portion is formed with a recessed circumferential groove of a smaller size in an intermediate portion. The wheel supporter has a shaft hole for the wheel shaft to fit therein, and an eccentric push plate member is pivotally connected under a bottom wall of the shaft hole. The eccentric push member has a curved-up surface to protrude in the shaft hole to engage the recessed circumferential groove to lock the wheel shaft in a stabilized condition when the eccentric push member is pushed to rotate for a certain angle.
