ABSTRACT:
A caster with a braking apparatus includes a bracket and a wheel rotatably supported on the bracket, the wheel having a radially inwardly facing annular braking surface thereon between its axle and tread. A braking member has a braking surface thereon adjacent the braking surface on the wheel, and is supported for radial movement between braking and retracted positions in which the braking surface thereon is engaging and free of engagement with the braking surface on the wheel. Radial movement of the braking member is effected by a manually actuable lever. In a preferred embodiment, the bracket is pivotally supported on a bracket support and a further braking surface is provided on the bracket support. A braking element has a braking surface facing the braking surface on the bracket support and is moved by manual actuation of the lever between actuated and deactuated positions in which the braking surface thereon is respectively engaging and free of engagement with the braking surface on the bracket support.
