BRAKE APPARATUS FOR A SHOPPING TROLLEY

摘要

A shopping trolley wheel (3) has two circumferential flanges (3A-3B) which are of a width so that they will drop into the grooves of a moving ramp walkway and bring into contact therewith brake (7). This brake has a (or several) resilient, tapering finger (10A) sized so that it will wedge between adjacent ribs of the walkway and increase the holding power of the brake. A longitudinal aperture (10B) may be formed in the finger to facilitate deformation thereof.
