Abstract

A device is disclosed for providing shock absorbing, reduced friction rolling movement of carry cases such as computer cases, luggage and the like to reduce shock when the carry case is rolled over an irregular surface. The device includes a wheel housing having means for attachment to at least a portion of the carry case and defining a wheel well for reception of a wheel, the wheel being supported on an axle shaft. A spring housing is positioned on each side of the wheel for reception of a spring, each such spring being supported on a respective spring mount which is in turn supported by the axle shaft. A carry case incorporating such device is also disclosed.
