  • Patent number: 6575271
    Abstract: A wheel and brake system is provided for a vehicle having a wheel with an inner wheel, an outer wheel generally concentric with the inner wheel, and a plurality of resilient members connecting the inner and outer wheels together for resilient movement therebetween. The brake mechanism has a mounting block adjacent the inner wheel and a lever arm pivotally connected thereto for movement between a braking position and a non-braking position. The lever arm has a cam follower with a cam engaging portion that allows the lever arm to move from its non-braking position toward its braking position which in turn causes movement of the cam follower from a disengaged position toward a wheel-engaging position. The cam follower has a wheel-engaging portion adapted for frictional engagement with the inner wheel when the cam follower is in its wheel-engaging position.
