A security apparatus for a shopping cart or other wheeled vehicle having a plurality of casters has a braking member (20) rotatably mounted on a wheel axle of one of the wheels (10). The braking member (10) is movable between a raised position spaced above the ground surface and an operative position contacting the ground surface, and has a portion projecting radially outwardly from the outer peripheral rim of the wheel at least in the operative position so as to separate the wheel from the ground and impede movement of the vehicle. A locking device (22) releasably locks the braking member in the raised position, and is released by a trigger device in response to a signal from a signal system extending around an area in which carts are to be retained, at which point the braking member rotates into the operative position, stopping normal movement of the cart.

Un dispositif de protection contre le vol, destiné à un chariot de supermarché ou à tout autre véhicule roulant équipé de plusieurs roulettes, comprend un élément (20) de freinage monté rotatif sur l'axe d'une des roues (10). L'élément (10) de freinage est mobile entre une position haute où il est surélevé par rapport à la surface du sol et une position de fonctionnement dans laquelle il est en contact avec la surface du sol. L'élément de freinage comprend une partie qui se projette radialement vers l'extérieur depuis le rebord périphérique extérieur de la roue, au moins dans la position de fonctionnement, pour séparer ainsi la roue du sol et empêcher le mouvement du véhicule. Un dispositif (22) de verrouillage bloque de manière réversible l'élément de freinage dans la position haute, ce dispositif (22) étant libéré par un déclencheur en réponse à un signal envoyé par un système de signalisation opérationnel dans une zone dans laquelle les chariots doivent être rangés. Au moment du verrouillage, l'élément de freinage tourne en position de fonctionnement et empêche ainsi le mouvement normal du chariot.
