Abstract
An enclosed tilted axle caster with an internally mounted brake mechanism includes a caster body, a caster wheel and a braking element of singular resilient construction completely internally disposed within the caster body. A cam element enclosed within the caster body is actuable by an operating pedal which extends out of the caster body for engagement by a foot to move the resilient braking element from its normally biased, released position, to a braking position in which the caster wheel is locked against rotation.
