Abstract:
An electronic gaming machine includes a cabinet and a pair of retractable wheel assemblies mechanically coupled to the cabinet. Each retractable wheel assembly includes an elongated structural member including an upper receiving surface and first and second inverted U-shaped portions depending from the upper receiving surface, a first pusher plate pivotably coupled to the first inverted U-shaped portion, a second pusher plate pivotably coupled to the second inverted U-shaped portion, a first retractable wheel mechanically coupled to the first pusher plate, and a second retractable wheel mechanically coupled to the second pusher plate. The first retractable wheel and the second retractable wheel are movable between a retracted position, in which the pair of retractable wheel assemblies allow the cabinet to contact an external surface, and an extended position, in which the pair of retractable wheel assemblies support the cabinet above the external surface.
