DE3340132A1 - Device for supporting objects on soft bases - Google Patents

Abstract

The device is intended for supporting objects, in particular furniture, on soft bases, in particular carpets, and consists of a bearing element which is matched to the bearing surfaces of the object. The bearing element (1) is constructed in a plate or strip shape. On the floor side, it is fitted with at least one bearing continuation (2) and the bearing surface (3) is dimensioned to be several times smaller relative to the cross-sectional bearing surface (4) of the bearing element (1). <IMAGE>

Description

Device for placing objects on soft surfaces

The invention relates to a device for setting up objects on soft surfaces according to the preamble of the main claim.

Devices of the type mentioned are generally known and in use. With these known support elements it is a so-called carpet glider, which is attached especially under chair legs to the Move the chairs to protect this carpet underlay. Such support elements are either more or less small bowls (e.g. made of plastic) glued under the legs or as good along their circumferential edge rounded metal plates screwed to the legs. With particularly small furniture legs, the shell-shaped support elements therefore also used and with a much larger supporting cross-sectional area than corresponds to the respective leg to the To reduce the pressure on the surface or to enlarge the contact surface. As everyone knows, this is how permanent and therefore irreparable pressure points on the soft floor, especially on carpets occupied floors are unavoidable.

The invention is accordingly based on the object of a Device for setting up objects on oak trees To create documents with which such pressure points can be avoided or reduced in such a way that at possible relocation of the object, in particular all kinds of furniture are thought of, the pile of the At this point the carpet has largely been restored to its original condition bzu. straight up again can be.

This object is achieved with a device of the type mentioned at the outset according to the invention by means of the characterizing feature of the main claim covered solved. Advantageous further developments result from the subclaims.

The support element can be made of all possible and suitable material, for example from plastic, made of elastomereh (e.g. hard rubber) and in particular ^ other non-ferrous metals. '..'

Combinations of the materials mentioned are also possible.

The surface, i.e. the surface that the furniture leg in question carries, can, but does not have to, be non-slip Toppings or waffle iron-like structures.

The length of the at least one support extension depends, of course, on the strength of the small-area ones Pressure to be protected bathing pad, i.e. the actual When loaded, the wing should at least just guarantee that the carpet pile does not compressed.

The requirement that at least one support extension should be present is of course a special embodiment bound, which will be explained in more detail, because without a specific embodiment in this regard, with only one appendix it would be feared that this, penetrating the carpet as a whole, into the actual floor (screed, Wooden floorboards, parquet), which means that the intention is not to deform the carpet pile, largely and would be nullified at least after a certain period of time "

The device can of course also be used for manufacturing reasons and in consideration of legless objects, be designed in the form of a strip, but it is entirely possible to make such a strip in individual pieces to dismantle (dividing notches ad. the like. predetermined separation points can be provided) to the individual pieces then again to be used as a base for furniture legs.

The support extensions, seen in vertical section, are advantageously towards their supporting surface, i.e. towards the bathing side towards, converging.

At the relevant point on the carpet it will the carpet pile is parted, so to speak, so that the extension rests on the carpet substructure.

Apart from the special embodiments that come with only get by with one extension, the support element is of course provided with several extensions in order to better distribute the pressure load.

The ends of the extensions on the bathing side become natural on the one hand, not directly needle-pointed, on the other hand, the support cross-section is as small as it is now held reasonable.

The extensions can be designed like pegs but also in the sense of a strip or strip pieces that are wedge-shaped in cross section.

The device according to the invention is illustrated below with the aid of the drawings of exemplary embodiments nSher explained.

It shows schematically

1 shows the device in side view; Fig. 2 in a bottom view of the device according to FIG. 1;

Fig. 3 is a perspective view of a particular embodiment of the device and Fig. K -7 further particular embodiment.

The shapes of the support elements shown in FIGS. 1-5 are of course not binding, i.e. the actual support elements 1 can be circular disk-shaped, polygonal or strip-shaped with a longitudinal extension be trained. The number of support extensions shown is also not binding, i.e. that Support element 1 bspui. According to Fig. 1 can also be largely occupied in its total area with TragfortsMtzen be, which can then be kept slimmer in side view as shown. The basic principle of operation the device can be seen in any case from Fig. 1 without further ado, that also for all others Execution farms apply.

The embodiment according to FIG. 3 shows the support element 1 in the form of a bar 1 ″ with likewise bar-shaped Projections 2 along the edges, which can be provided with perturbations 7 at certain intervals, as a result of which the bar 1 "brought to the required length by breaking off or also in individual pieces 1 'by breaking off can be laid in order to put on whole furniture lower edges on the one hand or individual legs on the other to be able to.

In any case, such a device a large-area pressure deformation of the carpet pile 8 avoided, which is usually after moving the piece of furniture cannot be removed again.

As shown in FIG. K , the support element 1, which, as shown, can be provided with insertion teeth 6 for the furniture leg, can be used. assign a relatively thin support plate S to the support extension 2 under the carpet 8 'so that the relatively pointed support extensions 2 cannot penetrate the floor 11.

According to FIG. 5, the support element 1 is combined with the support plate in one piece and also in a side view u-shaped bracket.

This embodiment, as well as that according to FIG. 6, however, requires that the carpet η of the relevant point be provided with a carpet cutting knife with a three to four centimeter long cut in order to be able to push ^{the underbody support plate 5 under the carpet 8 1.} The cut is expediently not made in front of but behind the furniture leg 9 in question, i.e. hidden. After removing the support element 1, the fine cut in the carpet is not noticeable, and a suitable adhesive can easily be applied to fix the cut edges.

The same applies to the embodiment farm according to FIG. 6, ωο-in the case of the carrying element 1 bzuj. the support extension consists of parts 2 ', 2 ". Here, the lower bath support plate 5 is provided with a small sleeve 2" into which the support extension 2' of the support element 1 fits. If these elements are designed for plugging and bspbj _e a cross cut is provided in the carpet, bspui can. four support extensions are also provided. It is also possible to provide the bridge with an internal thread and the support extension with an external thread, ωο-even leveling the piece of furniture with such support elements if necessary. Subject is made possible.
