LUGGAGE CASE AND AN ASSEMBLY FOR MOUNTING ROTATIONAL GROUND ENGAGING MEANS THERETO

摘要

A suitcase is provided with a rotating wheel (13) or roller mounted for rotation on an axle (22). The axle (22) is secured to resilient shock-absorbing means in the form of a disc of hard rubber (23) which is in turn secured to a mounting plate (24) fixed to the suitcase wall (26). This arrangement allows vibrations resulting from contact of the wheel (13) with the ground to be absorbed before they reach the case.
