SUPPORT FOR TUBULAR LEGS OF FURNITURE.
Patented 0a. 6, 1914.
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, GEORGE E. Nnnnnnrn,
of Newark, New J ersey, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Supports for Tubular Legs of Furniture, of which the following is a specification accompanied by drawings.
The invention relates to supports for tubular legs of bedsteads and other furniture, wherein the supports are provided with spring means for frictionally retaining them to the leg.
The object of the improvement is to provide such'a support with a very simple, effective, but inexpensive, form of spring holder, which is attached to the support in a very simple and inexpensive manner. The invention is, therefore, particularly applicable to temporary supports to be applied to the legs of bedsteads in Warerooms, where it is not desirable to apply the permanent casters, though it .will be understood the use of the invention is not so limited. I
In the preferred form of the invention illustrated in the accompanying drawings, the support comprises a cap for the lower end of the leg, having a rounded surface adapted to slide readily over the floors or carpets and an inturned flange or collar adapted to fit around the lower end of the leg and prevent lateral displacement of the cap, and a spring holder which has two ears which are secured to the cap by underlying and engaging the flange or collar thereof, the spring holder having also two spring arms which extend up within and flriictlionally engage the interior surface of t e eg.
In the drawings, Figure 1 is a vertical cross-section of the preferred embodiment of the improvement applied to the tubular leg; Fig. 2 is a plan view ofthe same, showing the leg in cross-section; and Fig. '3 is a view of the spring holder detached.
In the preferred form illustrated, the support proper comprises a bottom plate 0 and an upturned and inturned flange or collar G. The bottom plate Chas a downwardlydomed portion, as shown, adapted to slide easily over carpets or floor coveringsr The inturned flange C, surrounding and approximately fitting the leg L, holds the su port against lateral dlsplacement, at t e same time giving a neat appearance to the foot of the leg.
.The spring holder B, B, 13, consists of an originally flat strip of, resilient sheet metal bent to the shape'clearly shown in the figures. This comprises a flat bottom plate B, at each end of which the strip is bent back or folded inward on itself, forming the ears B and then upward, forming the sprin arms B, which, to facilitate their introductlon into the leg, may be of the cur ved outline shown, being divergent outward, then curving, to give a smooth convex exterioradapted to enter easily into the leg, and then convergent inward to facilitate introducing the ends of the arms and the'compression of the arms b being thrust within the leg. In Figs. 1 an 2, the spring allow the ears B to be inserted under the and directly secured to the support without requiring rivets or separate fastening devices, and aflords very simple means for frictionally engaging the interior of the leg. I claim the followin v 1. In combination with a support for a tubular leg which has a. collar adapted to fit around the foot of the leg, a spring holder therefor comprising a strip bent inward forming two ears engaging overhanging portions of the said collar and bent upward at two places forming two spring arms for frictionally engaging the interior of the leg.
2. In combination with a support for a tubular leg which has a collar adapted to fit around the foot of the leg, a spring holder therefor comprising outwardly directed ears engaging and securing the said collar and upwardly directed spring arms for frictionally engaging the interior of the leg.
3. In combination with a. support for a tubular leg having a collar for surrounding the leg, a spring holder therefor having members for frictionally engaging the interior of the leg and members engaging with the collar for securing the holder and support together when the leg is raised.
4. In combination With a support for tubular legs having a collar adapted to surround the foot of the leg, a spring holder therefor resiliently and. frictionally engag- In testimony vvhereof I have signed this specification in the presence of two. subscribing Witnesses this 7th day of August,
GEORGE E. NEUBERTH.
