Abstract
A novel rotatable stabilizing device is provided for stabilizing foldable legs of ironing boards, keyboard stands legs of ironing boards, keyboard stands and the like on various types of floor surfaces by providing at least two different stabilizing surfaces along the axial length of the rotatable stabilizing device. The novel rotatable stabilizing device may include a variety of means for rotating the device to expose the different types of stabilizing surfaces and may be utilized as an add on device for existing stands or incorporated into a new generation of novel stands incorporating the novel rotatable stabilizing device.
Claims22
A leg stabilizing device comprising:
- (a) a foldable device having at least one leg;
- (b) a substantially cylindrical element having a first stabilizing device surface having a first contact surface and a second stabilizing surface having a second contact surface disposed axially along the length of said substantially cylindrical element said first and second contact surfaces being of different shapes;
- and
- (c) said cylindrical element having means rotationally engaging the at least one leg of the foldable device providing for the positioning of said leg stabilizing device between the first stabilizing surface and the second stabilizing surface relative to a floor.
A device stabilizing the legs of an ironing board comprising:
- (a) an elongated rotatable substantially cylindrical element;
- (b) a substantially flat surface extending axially along a portion of said elongated rotatable substantially cylindrical element;
- (c) a ribbed surface extending axially along a portion of said elongated rotatable substantially cylindrical element;
- and
- (d) engaging means rotatably engaging said elongated rotatable cylindrical element on the ironing board legs to provide for the positioning of said device for stabilizing the ironing board legs between the substantially flat surface and the ribbed surface relative to a floor.
An apparatus for stabilizing legs comprising:
- (a) a leg;
- (b) an elongated element having a first stabilizing surface and a second stabilizing surface disposed along the length of said elongated element;
- (c) an opening in said elongated element rotatably mounting said elongated element to the leg;
- and
- (d) a stiffening element for stiffening said elongated element, said stiffening element being located in said opening of said elongated element.
An apparatus for stabilizing legs comprising:
- (a) a leg;
- (b) an elongated element having a first stabilizing surface, a second stabilizing surface and a third stabilizing surface disposed along the length of said elongated element, each of said surfaces having a contact surface of different shapes;
- (c) an opening in said elongated element rotatably mounting said elongated element to the leg;
- and
- (d) a stiffening element for stiffening said elongated element, said stiffening element being located in said opening of said elongated element.
A leg stabilizing device comprising a substantially cylindrical element having a first stabilizing surface and a second stabilizing surface disposed axially along the length of said substantially cylindrical element, said substantially cylindrical element having an opening frictionally engaging the leg of a foldable device to facilitate positioning said leg stabilizing device between the first stabilizing surface and the second stabilizing surface relative to a floor, wherein said opening includes a second opening being displaced axially from said first opening, said second opening having a different diameter relative to said first opening for frictionally engaging the leg of a foldable device of different cross sectional diameter.
