Definitions

  • tips in furniture, particularly in chairs and tables, to provide a metal tube forming a leg of the chair or table with a plastic tip for its finish and not to damage the floor to which the tube is exposed.
  • tips are formed by a body of plastic material that defines a coupling area and a base.
  • the coupling area is attached to the inside of, for example, the leg of a chair or table and the base is designed to be in contact with the floor and has features to provide the metal tube with a plastic finish its finish and not to deteriorate the floor to which the tube is exposed.
  • the tip described in this document is made up of three parts: a mounting part, a support part and a base part.
  • the mounting part is fixed to a piece of furniture, for example to a chair leg, the base part is designed to be in contact with the floor and the support part is placed between the mounting part and the base part for their connection to each other.
  • US5170972A discloses a base for furniture legs and improvements in the manufacture of bases. It comprises a tubular body and a rounded head closing one of its ends.
  • KR200195269Y1 discloses a leg support of furniture.
  • FR2521844A1 discloses a removable shock-absorbent castor for the legs of furniture having an adaptor enabling it to be tilted in relation to the angle between the legs and the ground.
  • US3191213A discloses a swivel type furniture-supporting glide.
  • GB876471A discloses improvements in and relating to supports for furniture and the like.
  • US5697669A discloses a combination stool and storage/tool box with rubber stopper receptacles and snap-on lid.
  • US2974352A discloses a furniture glider.
  • US9144309B2 discloses a foot for molded plastic furniture has a pad portion made of a first plastic or thermoplastic rubber and an anchor portion made of a second harder plastic or metal.
  • the anchor has a base with a substantially flat surface that is bonded to a substantially flat top surface of the pad.
  • an object of the present invention is to provide a tip that allows it to be as standard as possible, avoiding as much as possible the realization of many molds, with the consequent savings that this implies.
  • the tip for furniture according to the present invention is defined in claim 1 and it comprises a body and a base, wherein the tip is composed solely of the body and the base and wherein the base is press-fitted into said body, the body and the base being tiltable to each other.
  • said base comprises a curved surface complementary to a curved flange of said body, said curved surface of the base preferably being arranged around said stem.
  • Said stem comprises a circular stop, which abuts the inner part of the ring when the body tilts to its maximum position with respect to the base.
  • the base preferably comprises a longitudinal through hole.
  • said body is substantially cylindrical in shape and said base is disk-shaped, said stem projecting from it.
  • said body is preferably made of low-density polyethylene.
  • the stem comprises a curved outer wall.
  • the tip for furniture according to the present invention has, among others, the following advantages:
  • the tip according to the present invention is made up of two elements that are press-fitted into each other: a body 1 and a base 2, which are tiltable relative to each other.
  • the body 1 is substantially cylindrical and comprises a ring 11 provided with a plurality of grooves 12, as shown in figure 1 .
  • the ring 11 is flexible, so that it can be easily attached and removed by hand, without the need of tools.
  • Said ring 11 is used for coupling the body 1 with the base 2, as will be explained below.
  • the body 1 also comprises a plurality of coupling projections 13 for being coupled to a piece of furniture, for example, a leg 3 of a chair or table.
  • Said coupling projections 13 have the shape of a circular tab and are sharp, in accordance with the embodiment shown.
  • the body 1 comprises a flange 14, whose function is to abut the lower end of the leg 3 and to contact the base 2, as can be seen in Figures 3 and 4 , and as will be explained below.
  • said flange 14 comprises a curved surface.
  • Said body 1 is preferably made of low-density polyethylene, although it can be made of any suitable material.
  • base 2 is preferably disk-shaped and comprises a stem 21, which is inserted through said ring 11 of body 1 for snap-coupling between the base 2 and the body 1.
  • Said stem 21 comprises a stop 22, which preferably has a circular shape, which abuts the inner part of the ring 11 when the body 1 is tilted with respect to the base 2, as shown in figure 4 .
  • the side wall of said stem 21 is slightly curved, and the base 2 also comprises a curved surface 23 that contacts the flange 14, which is also curved, of the body 1.
  • the curved surface 23 is always in contact with the curved surface of the flange 14, either at two points (when it is not in the tilted position, Figure 3 ) or at one point (when it is in the tilted position, figure 4 ).
  • Base 2 can be press-fitted before or after insertion of body 1 into leg 3, and can be attached and removed manually without the need of any tools.
