Abstract
A pew securing apparatus and method features a base having a plurality of barbs extended at an angle therefrom, with the base being secured to the underside of a leg of a pew. The weight of the pew causes the barbs to penetrate a carpeted surface. The combination of the weight of the pew and the angle of the barbs causes the pew to resist lateral movement when in position. In one embodiment, two (or more) apparatuses may be utilized, and it may be desired to position one so that the plurality of barbs extend in a first direction, and a second so that its plurality of barbs extend in a second, different direction.
Claims7
A method for securing a pew to a carpeted surface comprising:
- positioning at least one pew securing apparatus to an underside of at least one leg of a pew;
- the pew securing apparatus comprising:
- a base;
- a plurality of barbs extending at an angle from the base;
- and
- at least one opening through the base;
- and
- lowering the pew onto a carpeted surface until the plurality of barbs penetrate the carpeted surface.
A method for securing a pew to a carpeted surface comprising:
- positioning a first pew securing apparatus to an underside of at least one leg of a pew;
- the first pew securing apparatus comprising:
- a base;
- a plurality of barbs extending at an angle from the base;
- and
- at least one opening through the base;
- wherein the first pew securing apparatus is secured so that the plurality of barbs extend in a first direction;
- positioning a second pew securing apparatus to an underside of at least one leg of a pew;
- the second pew securing apparatus comprising:
- a base;
- a plurality of barbs extending at an angle from the base;
- and
- at least one opening through the base;
- and
- wherein the second pew securing apparatus is secured so that the plurality of barbs extend in a second direction that is different from the first direction;
- lowering the pew onto a carpeted surface until each of the plurality of barbs on the first pew securing apparatus and the plurality of barbs on the second pew securing apparatus penetrate the carpeted surface.
A pew securing apparatus comprising, in combination:
- a base coupled to an underside of a pew;
- and
- a plurality of barbs extending at an angle from the base.
