A B S T R A C T O F T H E I N V E N T I O N "CASTORS" A braked twin-wheel castor assembly consists of five components - a body 1, two identical wheels 2 and 3, a metal wheel spindle 4 and a locking lever 5. The body 1 has a mounting bore 9 for pivotal mounting on a fixing spindle below an article to be supported by the castor. A moulded brake lever 5, rockable between a wheel-locking position and an unlocking position in which the wheels are free to turn, has an intermediate mounting portion 11 which pivots in a bearing recess 12 in the moulded body 1. The recess 12 is disposed towards the trailing end of the body remote from the bore 9, and it is open at an outer aperture 13 and an inner aperture 14. An outer end portion 15 of the lever 5 projects through the outer aperture 13 to provide an operating member for external operation. An inner end portion 16 of the lever 5 projects from the inner aperture 14 to provide a locking member for engagement with the wheels 2 and 3. The intermediate portion 11 of the lever 5 is moulded so that it can be be resiliently compressed sufficiently for it to be inserted into the bearing recess 12 through the outer aperture 13.
