ABSTRACT:
A wheel brake mechanism is disclosed for a vehicle such as a carriage or stroller having a wheel mounted on an axle. The wheel is of the normal type having radially extending ribs with spaces or recesses therebetween. The brake housing is mounted for pivotal movement around the axle between a normal unbraking position and a braking position by depressing a foot pedal attached to the housing. The brake mechanism comprises a cam mounted within the brake housing, and a cam follower mounted on the vehicle body. The cam follower has a cam engagable portion and a wheel engaging portion. Pivotal movement of the brake housing to its braking position causes the cam to force the wheel engaging portion into a wheel recess for braking the wheel.
