Abstract
Description
- This invention relates generally to furniture and, more specifically, to furniture feet used to support items of furniture above a floor or other horizontal surface.
- Items of furniture are very often supported above the floor by a plurality of support legs, with a foot attached at the lowermost end of each such support leg. Typically, each foot is made from a rubber, plastic or similar material designed to minimize damage to the floor and to minimize the propensity of the item of furniture to skid along the floor.
- Most such feet comprise a foot pad having a lower planar surface surrounded by a foot pad perimeter. To minimize damage caused to the floor and to minimize the propensity of the item of furniture to skid along the floor, it is important that the lower foot pad surface be disposed flat against the floor, rather than having only an edge disposed in contact with the floor. When an item of furniture is supported solely by the edge of the foot pad on one of its support leg feet, the pressure forces created against the floor along that edge can cause damage to the floor. Moreover, where an item of furniture is supported solely by an edge on one of its feet, the lack of surface contact between the floor and that foot pad allow the foot to be easily skidded along the floor.
- Manufacturing furniture such that the foot pads of the feet supporting the furniture are always disposed flat against the floor is not easily accomplished. This is especially the case where the furniture is to be placed on a floor with an uneven surface. Because most floors are not perfectly flat, even an absolutely level foot pad can cause damage by contacting the non-level portions of a floor.
- Manufacturing furniture such that the foot pads of the feet supporting the furniture are always disposed flat against the floor is also especially a problem where the legs are downwardly disposed at an angle with respect to the vertical, such as in many tables and chairs. In such items of furniture, manufacturers find it difficult to assure that the foot pads on each of the furniture legs rests flat against the floor, because in the manufacturing process it is difficult to assure that the angle of the support legs does not vary from item to item.
- Some furniture manufacturers have used foot pads having a ball joint. Such foot pads are generally successful in assuring that the foot pad rests flat against the floor. However, such foot pads have not been found to substantially decrease damage to a floor caused by the skidding of the furniture along the floor.
- Other furniture manufacturers have manufactured foot pads with felt bottoms. Such foot pads have been found to reduce damage to floors caused by skidding of the furniture along the floor, but do not address the problem of assuring that the foot pad rests flat against the floor. Also, many such furniture manufacturers attempt to attach felt to the bottom of foot pads using adhesives. Such attachment methods have been found to be prone to failure.
- A few furniture manufacturers have manufactured foot pads with felt bottoms wherein the felt bottoms are co-molded to a molded “cup,” which is then installed over the foot base. This method is also prone to failure in that the molded cup frequently disengages from the foot base. Also, the use of a molded cup necessarily increases the diameter of the foot base, which frequently interferes with the ability to stack the chair with identical chairs.
- The problems associated with trying to ensure that the foot pads of furniture support feet are disposed flat against a floor is a considerable problem where the item of furniture is a chair having sled-type legs. Such sled legs have a downwardly directed portion and a laterally directed, lowermost portion. The downwardly directed portion is attached to the laterally directed, lowermost portion at an elbow. The laterally directed, lowermost portion is disposed horizontally proximate to a floor surface. Feet for each sled leg usually comprises a pair of feet, one attached at the elbow of the sled leg and one attached to the terminal of the laterally directed, lowermost portion. Typically, such sled legs are splayed outwardly from the seating surface towards the floor. Such disposition of the sled legs makes it exceedingly difficult to provide feet for the sled legs which consistently are disposed flat against the surface of the floor.
- Accordingly, there is a need for an improved furniture leg foot which minimizes the above-described problems in the prior art.
- The invention satisfies this need. The invention is a furniture foot comprising (a) a furniture foot connector; (b) a foot base having a molded portion; (c) a ball joint connecting the furniture foot connector to the foot base; and (d) a felt pad co-molded with the molded portion of the foot base, such that the felt pad protrudes away from the foot base.
- These and other features, aspects and advantages of the present invention will become better understood with reference to the following description, appended claims and accompanying drawings where:
-
FIG. 1 is a prospective view of a chair having features of the invention; -
FIG. 2 is a side view of the chair illustrated inFIG. 1 ; -
FIG. 3 is a second prospective view of the chair illustrated inFIG. 1 ; -
FIG. 4 is a detailed cross-sectional view of a first furniture foot having features of the invention; -
FIG. 5 is a cross-sectional side view of a second furniture foot having features of the invention; and -
FIG. 6 is a perspective view of the furniture foot illustrated inFIG. 5 . - The following discussion describes in detail one embodiment of the invention and several variations of that embodiment. This discussion should not be construed, however, as limiting the invention to those particular embodiments. Practitioners skilled in the art will recognize numerous other embodiments as well.
- The invention is a
furniture foot 10 comprising afurniture foot connector 12, afoot base 14, aball joint 16 connecting thefurniture foot connector 12 to thefoot base 14 and afelt pad 18 disposed on thefoot base 14. -
FIGS. 1-3 illustrate achair 22 havingfurniture feet 10 of the invention.FIGS. 4-6 illustrate three different embodiments of afurniture foot 10 of the invention. - The
furniture foot connector 12 is typically made from a metal and is adapted to connect to a leg of an item of furniture. - The
foot base 14 includes a moldedportion 20 which is typically a plastic material, such as nylon. Other materials, such as polypropylene and polyethylene, can also be used to form the molded portion. - The
ball joint 16 is atypical ball joint 16 connector used in prior art furniture feet. - The
felt pad 18 is co-molded with the moldedportion 20 of thefoot base 14 such that thefelt pad 18 protrudes away from thefoot base 14. Typically, thefelt pad 18 protrudes away from thefoot base 14 by a distance of between about 0.05 inches and about 0.55 inches. - It has been found that co-molding of the
felt pad 18 with the moldedportion 20 is important to ensuring the reliable bonding of thefelt pad 18 to thefoot base 14. Co-molding of thefelt pad 18 with themolded portion 20 of thefoot base 14 has been found to be a far more reliable means of connecting thefelt pad 18 to the moldedportion 20 than prior art efforts to adhere thefelt pad 18 to thefoot base 14 using adhesives. Because of the dissimilarities of thefelt pad 18 and the moldedportion 20, attempts to adhere thefelt pad 18 to the moldedportion 20 using adhesives leads to frequent delamination of thefelt pad 18 from the moldedportion 20. - It is important that the felt be of a heavy and wear-resistant grade. Preferably, the felt is an SAE grade F-1 felt, an F-2 felt or an F-3 felt.
- As illustrated in
FIGS. 1-3 , thefurniture foot 10 of the invention is particularly advantageously used in achair 22, such as illustrated inFIGS. 1-3 . Thechair 22 comprises aseating surface 24 and asupport structure 26 for supporting theseating surface 24 at an elevated plane. Thesupport structure 26 comprises a pair ofsled legs 28 each having a downwardly directedportion 30 and a laterally directed,lowermost portion 32. The downwardly directedportion 30 is attached to the laterally directed,lowermost portion 32 at anelbow 34. Each laterally directed,lowermost portion 32 terminates at aterminal end 36. In the embodiments illustrated inFIGS. 1-3 , theterminal end 36 of each laterally directed,lowermost portion 32 is disposed forward of theelbow 34. - Attached to the
chair 22 are fourfurniture feet 10. A first chair foot is attached to theterminal end 36 of each laterally directed,lowermost portion 32 of eachsled leg 28. Asecond furniture foot 10 is attached to theelbow 34 of eachsled leg 28. - The
furniture foot 10 attached to theterminal end 36 of each laterally directedlowermost portion 32 of eachsled leg 28 is illustrated in detail inFIG. 4 . In the embodiment illustrated inFIG. 4 , thefurniture foot connector 12 is provided by a threadedstem 38 which is attached to anassembly nut 40 and a threadedinsert 42 disposed within a plasticfront glide housing 44. Thefront glide housing 44 is attached by press-fit over the laterally directed,lowermost portion 32 of eachsled leg 28 using aretention spring 46 and ascrew 48. - The
second furniture foot 10 attached to theelbow 34 of eachsled leg 28 is illustrated inFIGS. 5 and 6 . In this embodiment, thefurniture foot connector 12 is provided by acylindrical cup 50 secured to acylinder 52 on ametal bracket 54. Themetal bracket 54 is typically welded to theelbow 34 of asled leg 28 and is covered by a plasticrear glide housing 56. - Although the
furniture feet 10 of the invention have been described as being adapted to support achair 22 havingsled legs 28, those of ordinary skill in the art will recognize that thefurniture feet 10 of the invention can otherwise be adapted to support other items of furniture and other styles of chairs having downwardly directed legs which terminate at a terminal end. In all such cases, thefurniture feet 10 of the invention allow thefoot base 14 to be maintained flat against a floor or other flat surface upon which the item of furniture is disposed. - For example, a
chair foot 10 of the invention constructed for supporting furniture having three or more generally vertical cylindrical legs is easily provided by adapting thefurniture foot 10 illustrated inFIGS. 5 and 6 . In such adaptation, thecylindrical cup 50 is sized and dimensioned to snugly fit over the distal end of a cylindrical furniture leg. - The invention provides an effective and inexpensive method of assuring that the foot pads of furniture leg feet automatically become disposed flat against a floor or other flat surface, thereby minimizing damage to the floor or surface and thereby minimizing the tendency of the item of furniture to skid along the floor or surface.
- Having thus described the invention, it should be apparent that numerous structural modifications and adaptations may be resorted to without departing from the scope and fair meaning of the instant invention as set forth hereinabove.
