Abstract: 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.

Abstract: The self-orientatable twin castor has a support made of plastics for a pair of coaxial wheels. The support is constituted by a tubular hub with which a substantially semicircular wall, arranged in the median plane of the castor, is rigidly associated in a perpendicular manner. A semi-cylindrical casing made of metal is associated with the edge of the wall and has wings for positioning and retaining it on the edge of the semi-circular wall.

The pair of wheels are provided with hollow tangs into which the pivot is inserted. Bushes with inner and outer collars are interposed between the pivot and tangs. The inner and outer collars engage with grooves provided in the pivot and tangs.

Abstract: The caster comprises a pair of coaxial wheels mounted in a support wherein a well is formed receiving a pivot pin for articulating the caster to an item of furniture and being extended by a tubular portion above a support shroud, a stiffening collar member being further provided in overlapping relationship with respect to the tubular portion for tightly engaging the shroud and facilitating the coupling of the caster to the furniture item.

Abstract: A self-aligning twin-wheeled caster is disclosed which comprises a vertical wall, a shaped seat perpendicular to the wall, a pair of rotating wheels fixed to both ends of a shaft located in the seat, a sleeve in the wall with a rotatably carried pin. Each wheel has a hub portion, which is provided with outer collars facing front projections of both sides of the wall, teeth contoured over an arc of a circle, which define shoulders opposite to the projections and capable to axially retain the wheels. The caster further comprises front bushings on both sides of the wall, which are coaxial with the seat so as to receive the hub portions.
