Abstract
A slide formed from an upwardly cupped plate made of an acetal copolymer matrix into which a lubricant is incorporated with slidability and load baring capability making it suitable for use in moving furniture or other heavy objects across a floor. A non-slip pad formed of a synthetic plastic material is seated in a recess formed in an upper face of the plate. The plate is shaped such that when it is partially inserted under a heavy object, a forward edge of a lower face of the plate rises above the floor such that the slide will pass over obstacles.

A moldable slide for use in moving heavy pieces of furniture or other heavy objects across a floor, said slide comprising an upwardly cupped plate formed of an acetal copolymer matrix into which a lubricant is incorporated and having a coefficient of friction of less than 0.2 and a non-slip pad formed of synthetic plastic material, said slide having an upper and a lower face with a recess in the upper face into which the pad is at least partially received, said slide having an upstanding rim about a periphery of the recess and said lower face rising above the floor when the slide is partially inserted beneath a floor contacting portion of the furniture or object.
A moldable slide for use in moving heavy pieces of furniture or other heavy objects across a floor, said slide comprising an upwardly cupped substantially circular plate formed of an acetal copolymer matrix into which a lubricant is incorporated and having a coefficient of friction of less than 0.2 and a non-slip pad formed of synthetic plastic material, said slide having an upper and a lower face with a recess in the upper face into which the pad is at least partially received, said slide having a diameter about six inches with an upstanding rim about a periphery of the recess and said lower face rising above the floor at least about 1 inch when the slide is partially inserted beneath a floor contacting portion of the furniture or object.
A moldable slide with a mirror finish for use in moving heavy pieces of furniture or other heavy objects across a floor, said slide comprising an upwardly cupped substantially circular plate formed of an oxymethylene acetal copolymer matrix into which a lubricant is incorporated and having a coefficient of friction of less than 0.2 and a non-slip pad formed of cellular urethane foam, said slide having an upper and a lower face with a recess in the upper face into which the pad is at least partially received, said slide having a diameter about six inches with an upstanding rim about a periphery of the recess and said lower face rising above the floor at least about 1 inch when the slide is partially inserted beneath a floor contacting portion of the furniture or object.
