Furniture foot

A foot device for use with furniture which device includes a rigid portion molded as a single integral component from a hard plastic material the rigid portion having upper centrally located face which is shaped so as to be in direct supporting abutment with a supporting portion of the furniture and a lower face which is directed towards a floor, with a unitary annular ring of soft low slip material slidable directly into an annular groove formed in the lower face to be retained within the annular groove, the unitary annular ring of soft low slip material protruding from the lower face to form an annular load bearing surface surrounding and leaving exposed a central portion of the hard plastic material forming the lower faces;

• the central portion being recessed to provide that only the load bearing surface comes into contact with the floor when the furniture is supported by the foot device in a rest position on the floor, the annular groove being concentric with the mid point of the rigid portion and being constructed such that a major portion of the unitary annular ring of soft low slip material is retained within the annular groove so as to restrict deformation of the unitary annular ring of soft low slip material when force is applied to the foot device, wherein the depth of the foot device is substantially less than the footprint the unitary annular ring of soft low slip material makes when it rests on the floor.
