Castor with brake for vehicle

The transporting wheel consists of a fastening plate (1) under which a fork (2) for the wheel is rotatably mounted. A double brake pedal (12) is provided in the fork, the pedal members (13) of which extend along the flanks of the wheel. A simple pedal (22) orientated in the opposite direction is connected to the double pedal by a lever (19) and also connected to a brake (7) which at the same time as braking also blocks the pivoting of the fork around an axis lying perpendicularly to the fastening plate. Despite their connection both pedals function simultaneous and equally regardless of which one is operated.
