Application filed July 17,
This invention relates to shields or protective devices to be secured to the rear ends of chair rockers to prevent damage to woodwork or furniture by accidental contact therewith. While designed particularly as a chair rocker shield, it will be understood that my invention is also applicable to other analagous uses and may be similarly ap plied to other pieces of furniture, or to box corners, table corners or cabinets.
It is one object of my invention to pro vide a rocker shield which may be applied to the rocker without cutting or otherwise defacing the same.
A second object is to provide a shield which will fit any size or shape of rocker and which may be very securely attached thereto.
A still further object relates to the provision of a shield which may be easily and quickly attached by a person with no me chanical training and which may be as easily detached and removed when desired.
A preferred form of my invention is shown in the drawings, in which- Fig. 1 is a partial side elevation of a rocking chair having my invention applied thereto;
Fig. 2 is a plan view of my improved shield;
Fig. 3 is a side elevation thereof, looking in the direction of the arrow 3 in Fig. 2; and
Fig. 4 is a plan view of the shield in position on a rocker.
Referring to the drawings, my improved rocker shield preferably comprises a ballshaped protecting portion 10 and a plurality of flexible attaching portions or flanges 11, 12 and 13. The parts 10, 11, 12 and 13 are preferably formed of molded rubber, the flanges being integral with the ball-shaped portion 10.
The attaching flanges 11 and 12 are disposed at a substantial angle to each other, somewhat'less than a right angle, as clearly shown in Fig. 3 and the flange 13 extends across the ends of the flanges 11 and 12 in a direction transverse thereto.
1923. Serial No. 652,178.
Holes 1 f may be provided in the flanges 11, 12 and 13 for the passage of tacks or nails 15 by which the shield may be secured in position. The flanges 11, 12 and 13 being of flexible construction, they readily adapt themselves to any size or shape of rocker end and when fitted over the same may be very firmly secured in position by the nails 15 as indicated in Figs. 1 and 4.
The ball-shaped portion 10 is disposed at the outer rear corner of the rocker, fully protecting the rocker and effectively prevents the rocker from engaging and injuring furniture or other woodwork. No me chanical experience is required for attaching the device, as it is merely necessary to drive in the tacks or nails 15 while the shield is held in position on the rocker.
The flanges 11, 12 and 13 may be recessed as indicated at 16 in Fig. 1 to receive the heads of the tacks or nails 15 if so desired.
It will be clear that my invention is readily attachable to any size or shape of rocker and that it may be applied thereto wi hout cutting or otherwise defacing the rocker, a material advantage over the devices heretofore known and used.
Having thus described my invention, 1 do not wish to be limited to the details herein disclosed otherwise than as set forth in the claim, but what I claim is A chair rocker shield comprising a ballshaped protecting portion adapted to cover the outermost rear portion of a rocker, a pair of attaching flanges integral with said protecting portion and inset therefrom and disposed at an acute angle to each other to engage the upper and lower surfaces of a rocker end, a third integral flange extend ing transversely to said pair of flanges and effective to engage the outer surface of said rocker end, and means to secure said flanges in position.
In testimony whereof I have hereunto affixed my signature.
RUSSELL P. SKIDMORE.
