A cushioning wheel member has an annular body, an axis and multiple cushioning spokes. The annular body has a through hole defined axially through the annular body. The axis is mounted axially and located centrally in the through hole of the annular body. The cushioning spokes are curved and resilient, are deformed to decentralize the axis with external force applied to the cushioning spokes and recover to centralize the axis with removal of the external force. Each cushioning spoke has two ends, and one end of the cushioning spoke is connected to an inner annular surface of the annular body and the other end is connected to the axis. The cushioning spokes are structurally simple and light and may be deformed when encountering external force or impact and therefore provide excellent press-engaging effect and cushioning effect when installed in an ink ribbon cassette and a light duty carrier.
