Apparatus for facilitating movement of furniture

A vehicular device for moving a furniture piece having a fixed horizontally extending member and vertically extending means in essentially a vertical plane above the vehicular device comprising:

• a. a first vertical side sized to extend upwardly beyond the plane of the horizontal axis of the fixed horizontally extending member on the furniture piece;
• b. a second vertical side opposite the first vertical side extending upwardly to an elevation above the horizontal furniture piece such that rotation of the vehicular device around the horizontal member will cause the upper edge of the second vertical side to bear against the vertically extending means on the furniture piece in a vertical plane above the vehicular device;
• c. a flat bottom member;
• d. a horizontally extending channel defined by the flat bottom member, first side member and second side member, which channel has a width dimension at least one-third greater than the width of the fixed horizontally extending member on the furniture being moved;
• e. a wheel assembly with the wheels aligned to roll perpendicular to the horizontal axis of the channel;
• f. means to facilitate placing the horizontal channel into position to receive the horizontally extending member on the furniture piece and facilitate rotating the device around the horizontally extending member of the furniture piece by rolling the wheels of the wheel assembly from one side of the horizontally extending member of the furniture piece to the opposite side;
• g. whereby rotation of the device around the horizontally extending member of the furniture piece elevates one end of the furniture and the upper edge of the second side piece bears against the vertically extending means on the furniture piece to urge the horizontally extending member of the furniture piece against the inner surface of the first side and the vehicular device is at an angle such that the horizontal axis of the wheel assembly and channel are displaced to the side of the horizontal axis of the horizontally extending member of the furniture piece opposite of the first vertical side.
