The lever also includes wedge portions adjacent to the cavity to facilitate engagement of the locking mechanism when the caster fork is not aligned with the locking lever.

Une roulette ayant un mécanisme de verrouillage à pivot comprend un élément de support pour le montage de l'ensemble roulette, une chape fixée à l'élément de support de façon à pouvoir tourner et une roue rattachée à la chape de façon à pouvoir tourner. Un levier est fixé à l'élément de support de façon à pouvoir pivoter au-dessus de la chape et est bloqué pour ne pas tourner dans le plan de rotation de la chape de la roulette.
