Wheel for items of furniture

A wheel (1) for items of furniture which comprises a support (2), provided with at least one vertical portion (3) having at least one receptacle (4) for accommodating a supporting upright (5) integral with the item of furniture and having at least one lateral band (6), and a hollow sleeve (7), coupled to the at least one lateral band (6), which rotatably supports a substantially annular rolling element (8). The wheel (1) comprises at least one slider (9), which is at least partially accommodated in the receptacle (4), and is aligned with the end tip of the supporting upright (5); the at least one slider (9) can move from a first configuration of interference with the rolling element (8) by the action of respective elastic means (10), with consequent resting of an abutment (11) thereof on the outer surface of the rolling element (8), the first configuration corresponding to a deployment wherein the supporting upright (5) is raised and proximate to the slider (9), to a second configuration of non-interference, by forcing of the elastic means (10), with consequent distancing of the abutment (11) from the outer surface of the rolling element (8), the second configuration corresponding to a lowered deployment of the supporting upright (5) resting on the slider (9).
