USPTO Application #: 20080042025
Title: Nestable multi use floor protector apparatus
Abstract: The present invention concerns a set of pads quickly interchangeable, which can fit to furniture or appliances. The set is composed of a round cup in which a textured rubber puck and a felt puck are inserted. These three elements can be arranged in such a manner to offer several functions: protection of floors against surface scratch due to furniture or appliances movement; slipping of furniture on hard and smooth surfaces or on carpet; anti-slipping on smooth surfaces, anti-vibration and sound proofing.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

[0001]This invention relates to the field of pads for furniture intended to protect flooring against furniture and appliance movement, in residential and industrial environments.

PRIOR ART

[0002]Our research among patents revealed some systems that caught our attention:

[0003]CA 2107814--A floor protector that prevents damages caused by heavy objects sitting or slipping on a floor surface and reduces efforts required for displacing such objects.

[0004]CA 1180518--A seat or isolating mount for supporting an object on a surface floor. The structure is composed of an elastomer-type cover which adapts to the floor. The base of the shaft can adapt laterally and angularly and allows an object to sit on the floor surface even if this surface is irregular.

[0005]CA 2485555--A round furniture slide allows at least one movement of at least one furniture, appliance and movable wall structure and as a protective pad for floors; the apparatus is placed between such furniture, appliance and movable wall structure to be moved. The apparatus is composed of a cup in which is deposed a compressible material whose perimeter can adapt to the one of the cup and is glued using an adhesive.

[0006]CA 2278061--A glide assembly is constructed with a shell which includes a circumferential flange which is crimped around a base which includes an impact pad. The shell further includes the male portion of a ball joint with a relatively small aperture at a central portion. A ferrule includes a cup shaped portion for receiving a furniture leg. The base of the ferrule includes the female portion of a ball joint with a relatively large aperture at a central portion. A rivet swivelably attaches the male portion of the ball joint from the shell to the female portion of the ball from the ferrule.

[0007]U.S. Pat. No. 7,029,744 The invention describes a rubber base on a surface floor for preventing slipping.

[0008]U.S. Pat. No. 6,925,766 The invention describes several elements for preventing slipping.

[0009]U.S. Pat. No. 6,640,513 The invention describes multiple connecting boards which combine in a floor.

[0010]U.S. Pat. No. 6,591,560 The invention relates to an anti-fatigue flooring article having inherent properties of electrostatic dissipation.

[0011]U.S. Pat. No. 5,866,215 The invention describes a composite component having at least one felt layer as reinforcement when used for crash and/or noise management applications and including one reinforcement fibre layer. The reinforcement layer may be formed into a preform which is placed into a mould of suitable shape to form the component.

[0012]U.S. Pat. No. 4,296,160 The invention describes a method for delineating zones on the surface of thermoplastic gratings.

OBJECTIVES AND ADVANTAGES

[0013]A general objective of this invention is the protection of floor surfaces.

[0014]One of the objectives is the protection of floor surfaces against scratches due to the movement of furniture and appliances successively over flooring such as linoleum, high-density wood, laminate, carpets, ceramic tiles or others.

[0015]A specific objective is to make easy the movement of furniture and appliances on the floors when moving from hard to soft surfaces.

[0016]Another specific objective is the anti-slipping of furniture or appliances against hard surfaces.

[0017]A further objective is the reduction of vibrations of appliances on a floor.

[0018]Another specific objective is the sound proofing, i.e. the noise reduction caused by movement of furniture such as the movement of the legs of a chair.

[0019]Some of the objectives can look contradictory between them, but the invention consists in the mixing of the three elements of a set for obtaining completely different functions. The element combinations are described further in the text.
