Zusammenfassung:Systems and methods are disclosed herein for ball transfer unit supports (220;410;520). A ball transfer unit support (220;410;520) may include a top ring (226;412;523), an upper portion (222) adjacent to the top ring (226;412;523), a lower portion (224), and a shoulder (225) located between the upper portion (222) and the lower portion (224). The shoulder (225) may be configured to support a ball transfer unit (130;230;510). The top ring (226;412;523) may be in the shape of a truncated circle, and the top ring (226;412;523) may snap into an aperture (213;423) in a top skin (110;212;422;534) of a ball panel (100;210;422;530). The top ring (226;412;523) may include a retaining lip (312) which snaps below the top skin (110;212;422;534). The truncated circle shape of the top ring (226;412;523) may provide anti-rotation between the ball transfer unit support (220;410;520) and the ball panel (100;210;422;530). The ball transfer unit support (220;410;520) may transfer load on the ball transfer unit (130;230;510) to a bottom skin (214;533) of the ball panel (100;210;422;530).
