"textContent": "A brake-equipped swivel caster comprises a movable pin allowed to move up and down and normally retained in its uppermost position by an elastic member, and a bifurcated brake member including two downward-extending brake pieces, arranged with its top adjacent to the lower end of the movable pin and rotatably suspended by a horizontal shaft fitted to a tired-wheel support leg at a position off the axis of the movable pin. The brake member is subjected to the force of an elastic member tending to cause the brake member to turn in a direction away from the opposite lateral rim edges of a tired wheel, and is thereby retained in a non-braking condition. When the movable pin pushed down a specified distance pushes on the top of the brake member, the brake member turns so that the two brake pieces are pressed against the opposite lateral rim edges.",
