Definitions

  • This invention relates to wedges, and is particularly concerned with a wedge for steadying a table or like piece of furniture.
  • the restaurant, pub and hotel trade currently uses various items to prevent a table from rocking, eg. a folded paper table napkin, a book of matches, a business card or a cork. All of these are difficult to put in position, and are often ineffective as they are readily detached from the position in which they secure the table or like piece of furniture from rocking or wobbling, and in some cases the temporary expedients used are unhygienic and/or unsightly. In any event, such temporary expedients involve a cost element since members of staff are normally called upon to deal, for example, with a table in a restaurant which is causing trouble. Furthermore, customers are often irritated by the very fact that they have been put at an unsatisfactory table, by the need to address staff to put the matter right, and by the delay which often occurs when busy staff have other things on their minds.
  • US Patent no. 6,290,294 shows and describes an anti-rocking safety kit for converting or stabilizing rocking devices.
  • the kit comprises a pair of wedge-shaped safety blocks each having a strap to hold it in place when placed over a leg of a rocking chair.
  • the straps are shown as being adjustable by means of a buckle.
  • the safety blocks are solid and the straps would not hold the blocks to a table leg, for example.
  • the solution I propose for solving this problem is to provide a wedge device for use with the legs of tables or like furniture to prevent rocking or wobbling in use composed of a resilient material such as a natural and/or synthetic elastomeric material, eg. a rubber or rubber-like material.
  • the wedge part has a strap in the form of an L whose arm adjacent to the wedge part is arranged in use to project substantially vertically upwards from the wedge part, and whose free arm forms a strap having a series of ratchets permitting it to be adjustably yet firmly attached to the leg of the furniture to hold the device in place.
  • the wedge device preferably has a strap of L-shaped form and is flexible to allow the said longer part or free end to be wrapped around a leg to secure the wedge to the leg and the part adjacent to the foot of the wedge allowing it to be tied to the leg above its foot, the wedge part being shaped to perform the wedging function.
  • the strap-part of the wedge may be provided with arrow- or barb-shaped protuberances along the length thereof and the right-angled join between the two parts of the L may be provided with an aperture therein for receiving said strap-shaped part when the latter has been wrapped around a leg and it is desired to secure the wedge in position, the arrows or barbs on the strap preventing the latter from being unsecured by mistake but being resilient to allow withdrawal of the strap from said aperture to release the wedge.
  • the wedge is generally composed of a high friction rubber or rubber-like material to permit the wedge to carry out its wedging function whilst allowing the strap-part of the wedge to be detachably secured to the leg.
  • the wedge secured to a table leg follows and is not lost. It also cannot be swept up or vacuumed up during cleaning.
  • the use of the wedge is so simple and trouble-free that the wedge can be operated by the customer himself/herself who can replace the wedge without problems if the table is accidentally moved in such manner as to displace the wedge or wedges from their locking positions.
  • Customers will become aware of, and appreciate, the unified way in which this known problem has been resolved.
  • the wedge of the invention has a particular application, for instance, in pubs. hotels or restaurants, the wedge of the invention is not limited to such locations but may also be usefully employed in the home or in the office.
  • the use of a stretchable rubber strap to fit legs of various dimensions the use of a 'barb' design so as to achieve secure fastening of the strap and hence the wedge to the table leg and the combination of the functions of the wedge-shaped part and the strap-part of the wedge, which solves at once two problems currently facing the present state of the art, namely, the need for secure wedging and the loss of temporary wedges, as an inevitable feature of conditions in a pub., hotel or restaurant, are all features of the invention which are of value and are not presently part of the state of the art.

Claims (3)

  1. Eine Keilvorrichtung für die Verwendung an den Beinen von Tischen oder ähnlichen Möbelstücken zur Verhinderung von Wippen oder Wackeln bei der Benutzung. Die Vorrichtung besteht aus einem spitzen Keil D für die Positionierung zwischen dem Fuß des Beins und dem Boden, wobei der Keilteil D einen Riemen A, B hat, um ihn am verwendeten Mobiliar zu fixieren. Der Riemen A, B weist die Form eines L auf, dessen an den Keilteil D angrenzendes Ende B im Gebrauch so angeordnet wird, dass es vom Keilteil D senkrecht nach oben weist und dessen freies Ende A einen Riemen mit einer Reihe von Rasten E aufweist, die eine variable und zugleich feste Befestigung am Bein des Möbelstücks ermöglichen.
  2. Eine Keilvorrichtung wie in Anspruch 1 beschrieben, deren Riemen aus einem elastischen Kunststoff besteht, sodass nach der Befestigung am Bein eines Möbelstücks die Elastizität des Riemens A, B die Vorrichtung sicher fixiert.
  3. Eine Keilvorrichtung wie in Anspruch 1 und Anspruch 2 beschrieben, die aus einem abriebfesten Gummi, gummiartigen oder ähnlichen Elastomer besteht, wobei das Material des Keils hinreichend formelastisch ist, damit der Keilteil D seine Keilfunktion ausüben kann, ohne dass der Keilteil D vom abgestützten Bein abrutscht.
