ABSTRACT:
A brake for tandem wheels comprising a block that is shaped to conform to a portion of the circumferential surface of each of the wheels. The block is positioned to be in continuous frictional engagement with the circumferential surface of each of the wheels so that a constant force is applied to each of the wheels. When one of the wheels is stopped due to an external force, the mechanical forces that are built through the continuous frictional engagement result in the block exerting a braking force against the circumferential surface of the other wheel.
