Abstract
The present invention refers to a resilient glide for a chair's leg for minimizing the noise that normally occurs when a chair is moved along a floor. The glide comprises a flexible element with a small contact area against the floor in order to minimize friction. The flexible element comes off from a contact surface for the chair's leg arranged in a sleeve intended to surround the leg and is forming an integral part of said sleeve.
Claims10
A chair leg glide intended to be attached to a chair leg and thereby to minimize scraping noise associated with the movement of a chair along a floor surface, said chair leg glide comprising a friction minimizing flexible and bendable element having a small contact surface against said floor surface, and an abutment surface of a cap is arranged around a leg of said chair, whereby said flexible and bendable element is an integrated part of said cap and is part of a tongue that extends radially inwardly, said tongue is also attached to the cap, whereby a non-loaded chair will only rest upon the contact surface, which leads to a small abutement area to the floor surface, and causes a small friction only against the floor surface so that when the chair is loaded said flexible element is arranged to be pressed upward, said chair will essentially rest against the floor surface along said abutment surface.
