What are examples of a wheel and axel around the house?

Here a few examples of wheel and axle mechanisms you can find around your house:

1. Garage Door: Rolling garage doors have wheels that roll along a track, and the axles are connected to the lifting mechanism.

2. Doorknobs: When you turn a doorknob, the spindle (axle) inside the door rotates and engages the latch.

3. Bicycles: The wheels of a bicycle rotate around the axles that connect them to the frame. The pedals are also attached to the axles, allowing you to propel the bike forward.

4. Toy Cars: Many toy cars and vehicles have wheels that rotate on axles.

5. Drawer Slides: Some drawers have wheels or rollers attached to the bottom, which slide on rails to open and close.

6. Furniture Casters: Some furniture pieces, such as office chairs or rolling cabinets, are equipped with casters or wheels that allow for easy movement.

7. Curtain Rods: Some curtain rods have wheels or pulleys attached to them, allowing the curtains to slide smoothly along the rod.

8. Closet Organizers: Some closet organizers have rolling shelves or drawers that slide on tracks or rails, making it easy to access and organize clothes and other items.
