Abstract
The unattached base of the present invention includes a spacing element and two stop members integrally formed with, but extending perpendicularly from, the spacing element. The spacing element establishes a predetermined distance between the inside surfaces of the stop members. The stop members also have predetermined heights and lengths.
Claims5
A device for placing under a rocking chair to prevent the rocking thereof, which rocking chair has a stationary element for supporting said chair on a surface, said stationary element having oppositely disposed outside surfaces, and which rocking chair also has a frame disposed over, and in pivotable engagement with, along a pivot axis, said stationary element at a predetermined distance above said surface at said pivot axis, said device comprising:
- a spacing element having a first side defining a linear magnitude approximately equal to the distance between said outside surfaces of said stationary element of said rocking chair;
- a first stop means having a height approximately equal to the predetermined distance said frame is above said surface and extending perpendicularly from said first side of said spacing element;
- and
- a second stop means having a height approximately equal to the predetermined distance said frame is above said surface and extending perpendicularly from said first side of said spacing element in spaced relation to said first stop means at a distance defined by said linear magnitude.
A system for preventing rocking chair movement, comprising:
- a rocking chair having:
- a pedestal for supporting said chair on a surface;
- and
- a rectangular frame movably connected along a pivot line to said pedestal and overlying said pedestal at a predetermined distance above said surface, said rectangular frame including:
- a front structural member;
- a rear structural member in parallel spaced relation to said front structural member;
- a first side structural member interconnecting said front and rear structural members and having a first bottom surface extending on both sides of said pivot line;
- and
- a second side structural member interconnecting said front and rear structural members in spaced relation to said first side structural member and having a second bottom surface extending on both sides of said pivot line;
- and
- a base removably associated with said pedestal and said frame for preventing said movable relationship between said pedestal and said frame, said base including:
- a spacing member;
- a first stop means extending perpendicularly from said spacing member and having a first top surface for adjacent location under and on both sides of said pivot line along said first bottom surface of said first side structural member of said frame;
- and
- A second stop means extending perpendicularly from said spacing member in spaced relation to said first stop means and having a second top surface for adjacent location under and on both sides of said pivot line along said second bottom surface of said second side structural member of said frame.
