  • Patent number: 8205297
    Abstract: A swivel castor assembly, includes a body having at least one rotatable wheel engageable with a floor or ground surface below the body, a brake actuable to brake or prevent rotation of the wheel, and an element for mounting the body such that it is able to swivel about a generally upright axis. A head is adapted to be mounted to prevent or restrict its rotation about the upright axis. A brake activator is mounted to the head for movement between a braking position in which it activates the brake, a neutral position in which the brake is inactive and the body is not prevented from swivelling about the upright axis, and a direction-lock position in which the body may be swivelled to one of plural selectable orientations with respect to the head at each of which the body is locked against swivelling but the brake is inactive.
