Abstract: Castor with a brake device and of the kind having two wheels mounted on a common axle extending through an intervening partition a bore having therein to receive the castor pivot rod. The wheels are retained on the axle by means of a locking member engagng the hubs from below and behind a flange on the hubs. By spring action the locking member is pressed against the hubs for braking the wheels and is released by increasing the load on the pivot rod.
Abstract: A housing for twin roller castors is described having a cover for the rollers in one piece with a central partition, the latter having hooks on each side disposed circularly around a through-going, rigidly mounted spindle for the rollers for retaining the rollers by engaging a groove on the cylindrical surface of the roller hub, when the roller is mounted upon the spindle.
