Abstract
A slide to be partially inserted under a floor contact portion of a heavy structure such that the structure can be easily slid a short distance. The slide is formed as a laminar assembly including a flat plate formed of an abrasion resistant lubric plastic material made of polyoxymethylene, homopolymer acetal, and a non-slip pad made of a synthetic plastic material. That portion of the plate not under the floor contact portion tends to bend upwardly so that the heavy structure slides easily over the floor while the pad keeps the heavy structure from sliding off the slide.
Claims9
A temporary slide to be partially inserted beneath a floor contact portion of a heavy structure to enable easy sliding, said slide comprising a flexible plate formed of polyoxymethylene homopolymer acetal, having a coefficient of friction of about 0.3 and a pressure versus velocity of about 750 or better and a non-slip pad formed of synthetic plastic material, said plate being no thinner than about 0.05 inch, having a diameter between about 4 inches and about 10 inches, and having an upper face and a lower face joined by a peripheral upstanding rim, said pad adhesively fixed to and extending over the upper face to the rim whereby that part of the plate not under the floor contact portion tends to bend upwardly to slide easily over the floor while the pad keeps the heavy structure from sliding off the slide.
A slide for temporary use in moving heavy furniture comprising:
- a) a flexible plate made of polyoxymethylene homopolymer acetal having a coefficient of friction of about 0.3 and a pressure versus velocity of about 750 or better, the plate having a top surface and a bottom surface in which the top surface defines a recessed area and a peripheral lip having a predetermined height above the recessed area;
- and
- b) a non-slip pad affixed to the top surface of the flexible plate within the recessed area and extending to the lip thereby forming a generally continuous upper surface.
A slide for temporary use in moving heavy furniture comprising:
- a) a flexible plate made of polyoxymethylene homopolymer acetal having a coefficient of friction of about 0.3 and a pressure versus velocity of about 750 or better, the plate having a top surface and a bottom surface in which the top surface defines a recessed area and a peripheral lip having a predetermined height above the recessed area;
- and
- b) a non-slip pad affixed to the top surface of the flexible plate within the recessed area and extending to the lip thereby forming a generally continuous upper surface, in which the overall thickness of the pad is less than the height of the lip.
