Abstract

Portable objects such as luggage, cases, purses, bags, sporting equipment, weaponry and the like typically have a handle and a detachable shoulder strap. The discomfort caused by the weight of the object and the shock to both carrier and object of walking is alleviated by clipping an elastic apparatus between the ends of the shoulder strap and the portable object. Disclosed is a short elastic suspender that includes an elastic strap to be removably attached by a first connector to the D-ring of a portable object. The other end of the suspender has a D-ring connector configured to removably be attached to by the snap/hook fastener of the original shoulder-carrying strap of the portable object.
