ABSTRACT:
A caster wherein a brake plate is supported for pivotal movement about an axis intermediate the opposite ends of the brake plate and adjacent the caster yoke and beneath the caster yoke. One end of the brake plate is connected to a toggle mechanism including a wire having one end anchored to the plate and pivots about the caster wheel axis. When the lever is pivoted over center, the wire pulls one end of the brake plate into engagement with the caster wheel thereby braking the caster wheel. The opposite end of the brake plate engages a bearing race fixed to the caster shaft and to thereby brake the caster against rotation.
