ABSTRACT:
A skirt system for caster wheels to prevent a rolling caster from colliding with floor debris. A skirt assembly is fastened to a caster having a swiveling housing in which is mounted a caster wheel on an axle. The skirt thus swivels with the caster. The skirt assembly includes a circular skirt housing fastenable to a caster housing and having a central opening through which the caster wheel extends. Skirt material, such as brush fibers, is secured in a split ring which is removably held to the skirt housing by ring spring tension. The skirt may extend entirely around the caster or a segment may be portioned in front of the caster wheel.
