Abstract:
An exemplary embodiment of a caster adapter includes a connecting base for coupling the caster adapter to a caster, at least two panels forming at least part of an adapter member and defining the interior of the adapter member wherein at least a portion of a leg of an object is insertable into the interior of the adapter member. The adapter member may contain a leg conforming portion that protrudes outward from the interior of the adapter member and corresponds with a leg protrusion on a leg of an object wherein the leg protrusion will fit within the leg conforming portion such that the object may be lifted off the ground without the caster adapter, and coupled caster, slipping off of the leg. The leg may be inserted into the caster adapter through an opening in the side of the adapter member, wherein the opening is blocked by the use of at least one containment member interacting with the adapter member. The leg conforming portion may be customized depending on the leg protrusion location and size on the subject leg. The containment member not only acts to retain the leg within the caster adapter but also allows for quick release of the caster adapter from the leg. The adapter member of the caster adapter is customizable to fit various geometries of legs. The containment member may be retained in proximity to the caster adapter through the use of an attachment member that is attachable to the adapter member and the containment member.

Claim (Index 9):
A caster adapter, comprising:\n an adapter member comprising three panels:\n a back panel having a back panel top surface, a back panel bottom surface, a back panel first side surface and a back panel second side surface; \n a first side panel having a first side panel top surface, a first side panel bottom surface, a first side panel first side surface, and a first side panel second side surface; and \n a second side panel having a second side panel top surface, a second side panel bottom surface, a second side panel first side surface, and a second side panel second side surface; \n a connecting base having a substantially flat face, wherein the adapter member is coupled to the substantially flat face of the connecting base along at least a portion of the back panel bottom surface, the first side panel bottom surface, and the second side panel bottom surface; wherein the back panel first side surface is attached to the first side panel first side surface and the back panel second side surface is attached to the second side panel first side surface; wherein the back panel, first side panel, and second side panel combine to define the interior of the adapter member; an opening is formed in a side of the adapter member between the first side panel second side surface and the second side panel second side surface; a containment member having at least one elongated locking arm capable of extending across the opening in the adapter member when installed on the caster adapter, wherein the at least one locking arm having a locking arm coupling end and an opposite locking arm free end; at least one retainment member; and the at least one retainment member coupled to the locking arm free end of the containment member, wherein the coupled retainment member is movable between an insertion position and a locking position.
