Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a felt pad for chairs, pieces of furniture and the like.
  • Felt pads having various shapes and dimensions, applied under the feet of chairs, pieces of furniture and any other item that rests on the floor in order to prevent accidental scratching or denting of said floor, are widely used in the home, in offices or in other environments.
  • FR-A-2763816 discloses a felt pad for furniture having an elastomeric body to which a felt layer is connected.
  • US-A-5220705 discloses a furniture floor glide including a concavo-convex disk having an arcuate convex lower surface for riding on a horizontal floor surface and a concave upper surface defining a central cavity with a resilient pad fixed thereto, the resilient pad being adhered to the bottom of furniture and having a main body portion which may be made of one or more layers of resilient material.
  • the aim of the present invention is to obviate the above-mentioned drawbacks, by providing a felt pad for chairs, pieces of furniture and the like that is suitable to ensure effective damping of the noise produced by the movement of the pieces of furniture to which it is applied.
  • an object of the present invention is to provide a felt pad that is suitable to compensate for the differences in length of the feet of the pieces of furniture to which they are applied, so as to ensure their stability.
  • Another object of the present invention is to provide a felt pad that is simple, relatively easy to provide in practice, safe in use, effective in operation, and has a relatively low cost.
  • the reference numeral 1 generally designates a felt pad for chairs, pieces of furniture and the like according to the invention.
  • the felt pad is of the type suitable to be applied under feet 2 of chairs and under pieces of furniture or items that rest on the floor of any environment.
  • the felt pad shown in Figure 1 comprises at least one rectangular layer 3 made of felt, which is associated with at least one layer made of a substantially elastic shock-absorbing material 4 that has the same surface.
  • the shock-absorbing elastic material is constituted by highly elastic closed-cell rubber.
  • the rubber may be natural, synthetic or mixed.
  • the felt pad is constituted by two flat and mutually parallel layers of felt 3, an upper layer and a lower layer, between which a layer of shock-absorbing elastic material 4 is interposed.
  • the felt layers 3 and the layer of shock-absorbing elastic material 4 are mutually connected preferably by adhesive bonding or by way of other fully equivalent means.
  • the upper felt layer 3 is conveniently covered by an adhesive coating 5, which is suitable for fixing under the feet 2 of chairs and pieces of furniture; a protective film 6 is in turn applied to the adhesive coating 5, protects the characteristics of the coating 5, and is designed to be removed before fixing under the foot 2.
  • the method of use of the felt pad according to the invention is as follows. After cleaning carefully the surface of the foot 2 or of the part of the piece of furniture involved, the protective film 6 is removed and the felt pad is applied, applying a gentle pressure in order to make the adhesive coating 5 adhere perfectly to the contact surface (as shown in Figure 2).
  • Figure 3 is a view of the felt pad loaded by the weight of the piece of furniture: the layer of shock-absorbing elastic material 4 is highly compressible in a vertical direction and thus allows to cushion impacts on the floor when moving the piece of furniture or chair and to compensate for any small differences in the length of the feet 2, which cause static instability of the piece of furniture.
  • Figure 4 illustrates an alternative embodiment of the felt pad according to the invention, in which the layers of felt 3 and the layer of shock-absorbing elastic material 4, as well as the protective film 6, have a circular surface.
