Abstract: A hand brake device for a wheeled cart includes a pivot pin, and a brake lever including a lever portion, a front lower portion with a rounded integral projection, and a curved slot unit for receiving the pin slidably. Upward movement of the lever portion about the pin can result in braking of the cart, which will be freed upon release of the lever portion. Downward movement of the lever portion about the projection can also result in the braking of the cart, which will be maintained unless an external force is applied to the lever portion.
