Abstract
The invention relates to a castor having a brake device with a housing () with a substantially vertically aligned receiving opening () for a runner pin () for connecting the castor to an object to be supported by the castor, and having an axle bolt () which extends through the housing transversely with respect to the receiving opening and which bears at least one wheel ('), with the brake device having a brake slide () which can be moved by an actuating lever () from the outside from a free-running position into a braked position. To provide inter alia a locking facility independently of the rotational position of the wheel, it is proposed according to the invention that the brake slide () bears an elastic brake lining () which faces toward a braking section () of the at least one wheel.
