A brake for a caster having a caster wheel with a wheel hub axially mounted to a fork. The brake includes a leg adapted to pivotally engage the fork of the caster. When the brake is mounted to the caster, the leg wedges between the fork and the wheel hub to frictionally arrest the motion of the caster wheel.

Wedging brake for a caster

A molded wheel and bearing assembly includes two bearings in a molded housing forming a bearing assembly. The bearing assembly is molded into the hub of a caster wheel. The caster wheel is made by molding a hub around the bearing assembly, then molding a tread around the hub. No assembly of individual elements into the wheel is necessary.
