Patent number: 9216616Abstract: A self-orienting twin castor with a braking assembly is provided. A main body of the castor rotatably mates with a base of an installation device. The body has a through hole for rotatably accommodating a shaft having two coupling ends for respective wheels, with play along a vertical direction. Elastic means are arranged within a transverse channel of the through hole of the body. The main body has two tubular lateral portions, which are coaxial with the through hole and adapted to accommodate a sleeve of a respective wheel fitted on a coupling end of the shaft. A portion of the castor has, along its inner surface, at least one radially protruding slider parallel to the axis of the shaft.Type: GrantFiled: October 12, 2012Date of Patent: December 22, 2015Assignee: EMILSIDER MECCANICA S.P.A.Inventor: Francescantonio Melara

Patent number: 5632360Abstract: Braking device for a self-orientating twin castor composed of two wheels which are rotatably mounted at the opposite ends of a spindle that is driven through a seat of a support which is composed of a vertical wall that lies between the wheels and in which a cylindrical recess is formed with a vertical axis that is eccentric with respect to the spindle. The recess is open in an upward region for the engagement of a pivot for mounting the castor in a piece of furniture, and a lever element is provided which can be coupled to the wall so that it can oscillate between two positions about an axis that is parallel to the spindle. The lever element includes an arm for blocking the wheels, which lies between the wheels, and an actuation arm, which can be accessed by a user.Type: GrantFiled: October 31, 1994Date of Patent: May 27, 1997Assignee: Emilsider Meccanica S.p.A.Inventor: Francescantonio Melara
