Abstract
A device adapted to stabilize an article of furniture on a support surface is formed as two wedge-shaped pieces so constructed that they slide into each other thereby causing a furniture leg to be raised or lowered. The mechanism for holding the two parts together is such as to prevent them from coming apart or being forced apart by the weight of the supported object. The construction material is stiff, yet flexible and resilient, to help stabilize the article of furniture, and may be an anti-skid material. The upper surfaces of the device deviate from a plane so as to provide a very small height correction without compromising stability.
Claims19
A stabilization device comprising:
- a) a first part having at least one upper surface and at least one lower surface wherein said first part at least one upper surface is inclined relative to said first part at least one lower surface;
- b) a second part having at least one upper surface and at least one lower surface wherein said second part at least one upper surface is inclined relative to said second part at least one lower surface wherein said first and second parts are constructed of a relatively stiff, yet flexible, material;
- and
- c) interlocking means for interlocking at least a portion of said first part upper surface in contact with said second part lower surface and
- for interlocking at least a portion of said second part upper surface in contact with said first part lower surface.
