ABSTRACT:
A castor braking mechanism for use on a castor having a wheel, the hub of which wheel is mounted on an axle between a pair of legs. The braking mechanism includes a cam member mounted between one side of the wheel hub and a leg, and a cam engaging member located on the outside of the same leg. The axle passes through hole in both members. Retaining members at each end of the axle are spaced apart, such that when the cam member and the cam engaging member are in a first position with respect to each other the wheel is free to rotate, and when the cam engaging member is rotated in either direction with respect to the cam member, they are forced apart from each other so as to apply an axial force between the retaining means to the hub of the wheel to impede or prevent rotation of the wheel.
