Furniture leveling foot and system

A system for leveling furniture, comprising:

• a furniture plate member;
• a leveling foot having a threaded shaft with an axial dimension;
• the threaded shaft having a lead end portion, a foot end portion with a head, and screw threads disposed helically thereabout, the screw threads having an inner diameter and an outer diameter, the screw threads having a leading side at an angle;
• an opening disposed through said furniture plate member, the opening having an opening diameter between the inner and outer diameters of the screw threads, the opening having a partially circumferential helical edge extending helically from a first side of the furniture plate member;
• the helical edge defined by a helical surface portion of the furniture plate member disposed at least partially about the opening, the helical surface portion having an outer surface at an angle substantially equal to the angle of the leading side of the screw thread;
• the lead end portion of the threaded shaft being rotatably disposable into the opening of the furniture plate member from a second side thereof by rotatably engaging the screw threads with the helical edge;
• the helical surface portion of the furniture plate member being engageable with a surface area of the leading side of the screw thread;
• the head on the foot end portion of the threaded shaft having a first curved flange portion curving generally radially outwardly from the threaded shaft with increasing axial distance from the foot end portion thereof, the curved flange portion having an outer end terminating radially outwardly of the threaded shaft;
• at least the head of the leveling foot being formed of a resilient material, whereby the head is flexible so as to absorb impact shock directed toward the threaded shaft;
• a second flange portion extending radially outwardly from the foot end portion of the threaded shaft;
• and
• at least two support members disposed between an upper surface portion of said first curved flange portion and a lower surface portion of said second flange portion.
