Abstract
A brake for a caster having a caster wheel with a wheel hub axially mounted to a fork. The brake includes a leg adapted to pivotally engage the fork of the caster. When the brake is mounted to the caster, the leg wedges between the fork and the wheel hub to frictionally arrest the motion of the caster wheel.
