1. A brake device for a caster comprising:
a plurality of projecting parts formed on a roller,
a lever positioned to oppose a proximate one of the projecting parts, and
a claw formed at a tip of the lever, wherein the claw is configured to oppose the proximate one projecting part, wherein the lever is operable so that the claw enters a space formed between the proximate one projecting part and an adjacent projecting part to engage the proximate one projecting part to lock rotation of the roller, and wherein the lever releases the locking when the lever is pulled by a cable that is connected with an operation lever,
a cable coupling unit, which has a slide body, is located at an intermediate point of the cable, and an operation-part-side section of the cable is coupled to a brake-part-side section of the cable by the slide body,
the cable coupling unit includes a compression spring that applies a force to press the slide body towards the lever, and
at least one spring is operatively located between the cable and the slide body or between the cable and the lever.
