ABSTRACT:
A braking device for a vehicle utilizing a plurality of wheels for motion relative to a surface. The present invention includes a bent axle for supporting at least one of the wheels. The bent axle has a first axle portion being disposed parallel to a y-axis which is perpendicular to an x-axis, the x-axis defining the longitudinal axis of a main structure of the vehicle, the x-axis also defining the direction of vehicle motion. The bent axle includes at least one terminal axle portion angularly disposed from the first axle portion. The first axle portion of the bent axle rotatably engages with the main structure of the vehicle, along an axis parallel to the y-axis. The terminal axle portion of the bent axle rotatably engages with the wheel. Therefore, the wheel rotates in a plane that is not parallel to the direction of vehicle motion.
