Abstract
A wheel for an omnidirectional moving device includes an annular core body formed by connecting joint members in an annular shape, and free rollers rotatably supported by the core body. Each of the joint members includes a shaft portion having a first end and a second end, a first connecting portion provided at the first end, and a second connecting portion provided at the second end. Each of the free rollers is rotatably supported by the shaft portion of the corresponding joint member. The first connecting portion of each of the joint members is rotatably connected to the second connecting portion of the adjacent joint member. The first end of each of the joint members abuts on the second end of the adjacent joint member so that a rotation range of the adjacent joint members is restricted. A cushioning material is provided between the first end and the second end.
