A caster includes a running wheel, a fork and an assembly journal, wherein the fork is pivotable in relation to the assembly journal and a braking device is arranged in the fork and can be displaced into the braking position via a tappet actuated by a trip cam. A direction lock can be set without a braking action on the running wheel. Two tappets are movable independently of each other, wherein only the direction lock without a braking action can be set via one of the tappets. Another caster includes a running wheel, a fork and an assembly journal, wherein a braking device is provided in the fork and can be displaced into the braking position via a trip cam. The braking device has a first braking part for friction-locking action on the running wheel and a second braking part for the interlocking lock of the running wheel.

A caster (1) comprising a running wheel (6), a fork (2) and an assembly journal (3), wherein the fork (2) is pivotable relative to the assembly journal (3) and a braking device is arranged in the fork (2) which can be displaced into the braking position via a tappet (13) actuated by a trip cam (8), wherein furthermore a direction lock can be set without a braking action on the running wheel (6), and two tappets (12, 13) are provided which are movable independently of each other, wherein only the direction lock without braking action can be set via one of the tappets (12), wherein in the normal operating position of caster (1), the tappets (12, 13) are arranged next to one another transverse to a vertical direction and extend next to one another in the vertical direction, the trip cam (8) has two cam surfaces (21, 22) which are each assigned to one of the tappets (12, 13) and the cam surfaces (21, 22) are designed differently from one another.
A caster (1) comprising a running wheel (6), a fork (2) and an assembly journal (3), wherein a braking device is provided in the fork (2) which can be displaced into the braking position preferably via a trip cam (8), wherein the braking device has a first braking part (41) for friction-locking action on the running wheel (6), wherein the braking device has a second braking part (46) for the interlocking lock of the running wheel (6) for the combined interlocking and frictional lock position of the running wheel.
