Castor brake for double swivel castors for cases

A brakeable swivel castor for cases, having a castor housing which can be pivoted into a rolling direction (L) via pivot means and two wheels rotatably mounted on the castor housing on a horizontal wheel axle,

• wherein the pivot means are arranged in front of the wheel axle, as seen contrary to the rolling direction (L), and having a braking device, which is designed to be movable between a braking position, in which the braking device exerts a braking force on at least one wheel, and a free-rolling position, in which the braking device releases the wheels,
• wherein the braking device has a brake pedal for generating the braking force, which is pivotably mounted on the castor housing via a pedal axle, which extends parallel to the wheel axle and is arranged between the wheels, and, in the free-rolling position and in the braking position, is held on the castor housing with form fit and force fit via latching means, and, said brake pedal in the braking position, at least one brake shoe arranged on the brake pedal exerts a braking force parallel to the wheel axle directly on one side of at least one wheel;
• wherein the pedal axle is arranged behind a vertical plane (E1) extending through the wheel axle, as seen contrary to the rolling direction (L);
• wherein the brake shoes are each formed on opposite lateral surfaces of the brake pedal, which face the wheels.
