Abstract
A method of fabricating a furniture glide is provided. The method includes the step of providing a furniture engaging layer having first and second surfaces. A slide is positioned adjacent to the second surface of the furniture engaging layer. The slide is fabricated from a meltable material. The slide is heated so as to cause a portion of the meltable material to melt and flow into the furniture engaging layer. Solidification of the portion of meltable material in the furniture engaging layer bonds the slide to the furniture engaging layer.

A method of fabricating a furniture glide, comprising the steps of:
- providing a furniture engaging layer having first and second surfaces;
- positioning a slide adjacent to the second surface of the furniture engaging layer, the slide fabricated from a meltable material and having a configuration;
- and
- heating the slide with a heating element so as to cause a portion of the meltable material to melt and flow into the furniture engaging layer;
- wherein:
- the configuration of the slide changes in response to the heating of the slide such that a recess is formed in the slide which corresponds in shape to a surface of the heating element;
- and
- solidification of the portion of meltable material in the furniture engaging layer bonds the slide to the furniture engaging layer.
A method of fabricating a furniture glide, comprising the steps of:
- providing a furniture engaging layer having first and second surfaces, first and second ends, and first and second sides;
- positioning a slide against the second surface of the furniture engaging layer, the slide extending from the first side of the furniture engaging layer to the second side of the furniture engaging layer and being fabricated from a meltable material;
- engaging the first surface of the furniture engaging layer with a heating element so as to cause a portion of the slide to melt and flow into the furniture engaging layer;
- and
- solidifying the portion of meltable material in the furniture engaging layer to bond the slide to the furniture engaging layer;
- wherein a concave recess is formed in the slide in response to the heating of the slide with the heating element.
