A bracket is provided for connection to the top plate of a wheeled caster, that top plate being generally rectangular and having lateral width W1 and longitudinal length L1 dimension. The bracket defines a mounting plate having an upper surface; the bracket includes a longitudinally elongated cantilevered arm of lateral width W2 and longitudinal length L2 where L2>W2, the arm having one end integral with the mounting plate, and a free opposite end, there being a transverse abutment on and upstanding at the arm free end, and relative to the arm, the abutment defining a shoulder spaced from the arm free end and facing toward said one end of the arm; the bracket has two longitudinally elongated guides which are laterally spaced apart and have downward facing surfaces, the guides projecting above the level of the mounting plate upper surface to form guide channels for guiding the lengthwise reception of laterally spaced, longitudinally extending opposite edge portions of the caster top plate; the bracket has a laterally elongated stop which projects above the level of the mounting plate upper surface, the stop defining a stop surface facing toward the abutment shoulder, there being a spacing of length L3 between said stop surface and said abutment shoulder, where L3L1; and the abutment shoulder normally projects above the upper surface of the mounting plate sufficiently that the arm must be yieldably delected, by finger pressure on the abutment, to allow the caster plate opposite edge portions to slide lengthwise in the channels, whereby the caster plate may then be brought toward and into engagement with the stop shoulder as the plate rides over the abutment and then drops into confined postion between the stop shoulder and abutment shoulder, with the arm then tensioned to urge the plate into engagement with the downward facing surfaces of the guide.

In a bracket for connection to the top plate of a wheeled caster, that top plate being generally rectangular and having lateral width W1 and longitudinal length L1 dimension, the combination comprising: (a) said bracket defining a mounting plate having an upper surface, (b) the bracket including a longitudinally elongated cantilevered arm of lateral width W2 and longitudinal length L2 where L2>W2, the arm having one end integral with the mounting plate, and a free opposite end, there being a transverse abutment on and upstanding at the arm free end, and relative to the arm, said abutment defining a shoulder spaced from the arm free end and facing toward said one end of the arm, (c) said bracket having two longitudinally elongated guides which are laterally spaced apart and have downward facing surfaces, said guides projecting above the level of said mounting plate upper surface to form guide channels for guiding the lengthwise reception of laterally spaced, longitudinally extending opposite edge portions of the caster top plate, (d) and said bracket having a laterally elongated stop which projects above the level of said mounting plate upper surface, said stop defining a stop surface facing toward said abutment shoulder, there being spacing of length L3 between said stop surface and said abutment shoulder, where L3L1, (e) The abutment shoulder normally projecting above said upper surface of the amounting plate sufficiently that the arm must be yieldably deflected, by finger pressure on the abutment, to allow said caster plate opposite edge portions of slide lengthwise in said channels, whereby the caster plate may then be brought toward and into engagement with said stop shoulder as the plate rides over the abutment and then drops into confined position between said stop shoulder and said abutment shoulder, with the arm then tensioned to urge the plate into engagement with downward facing surfaces on the guides, (f) said bracket being of one-piece molded plastic construction, said abutment having a top surface which slopes directionally longitudinally away from the stop shoulder and downwardly, said cantilevered arm projecting upwardly proximate its free end so that substantially the entire abutment upper sloping surface being normally about the level of said mounting plate upper surface, until progressively deflected downwardly by camming pressure exerted by an edge of the caster plate to accept the caster plate into said confined position, said upper sloping surface extending throughout the major width of said arm.
