Abstract
An assembly configured to limit movement of an apparatus having a base that rests on a surface includes a body member and a gate. The body member is configured to be secured to the surface and has an opening configured to receive the base of the apparatus. The gate is configured to be removably coupled with the body member to open and close the opening. When the gate is coupled with the body member, the gate is configured to cooperate with the body member to limit movement of the base of the apparatus relative to the surface in directions that are parallel to the surface.
Claims16
An assembly configured to limit movement of a base of an apparatus that rests on a surface, comprising:
- a body member configured to be secured to the surface and having a cavity, the cavity being configured to receive the base of the apparatus and permit the base of the apparatus to contact the surface;
- and
- a gate configured to be removably coupled with the body member to open and close an opening to the cavity,
- wherein, when the gate is coupled with the body member, the gate is configured to cooperate with the body member to limit movement of the base of the apparatus relative to the surface in directions that are parallel to the surface,
- wherein the body member includes two walls that extend from a wall of the body member to the cavity and face one another to define the opening to the cavity, and
- wherein the body member includes a notch in each of the two walls, the notches being configured to receive opposite end portions of the gate and to prevent the gate from moving in a direction away from the cavity.
An anti-walking assembly for limiting movement of a leg of apparatus, comprising:
- a body member having an outer wall;
- and
- a removable gate configured to be positioned in the body member, wherein
- the outer wall has a cutout defined by (i) first and second arms, and (ii) first and second inner walls which oppose each other and which extend from the first and second arms to a cavity, respectively,
- the first inner wall and the first arm meet to form a first notch, and the second inner wall and the second arm meet to form a second notch opposing the first notch, and
- the removable gate has first and second end portions which are configured to be positioned in the first and second notches, respectively, such that the removable gate closes the cutout to define the cavity.
An assembly configured to limit movement of a base of an apparatus that rests on a surface, comprising:
- a body member configured to be secured to the surface and having a cavity configured to receive the base of the apparatus;
- and
- a gate configured to be removably coupled with the body member to open and close an opening to the cavity,
- wherein the body member includes
- a pair of opposed walls that extend from a wall of the body member to the cavity to define the opening to the cavity, and
- a pair of opposed notches in the pair of walls, the notches being configured to receive opposite end portions of the gate and to prevent the gate from moving in a direction away from the cavity, and
- wherein, when the gate is coupled with the body member, the gate is configured to cooperate with the body member to limit movement of the base of the apparatus relative to the surface in directions that are parallel to the surface.
