20120025049 | CORNER PROTECTOR - The present embodiment of the subject inventive matter in one embodiment generally comprises of a corner protector containing at least 2 sides and made out of a clear plastic material. The corner protector of the subject inventive matter may also consist of at least one tab to assist in securing the corner protector to the item. Each side of the corner protect of the subject inventive matter may also include protrusions and corresponding receiving grooves that allow corner protector to be securely affixed to the item. | 02-02-2012 |
20120061545 | PROTECTIVE COVER/SLEEVE FOR FURNITURE LEGS AND/OR FEET - A furniture leg/foot protective cover/sleeve is provided for placing on and/or around furniture legs/feet. The protective cover/sleeve can include a base for engaging a supporting surface, or in an alternative embodiment can be open at the base end. The cover/sleeve is flexibly shaped and preferably extends from a bottom edge of the cover/sleeve closest to the support surface to a top open edge defining an interior cavity for receiving the furniture leg/foot therein and substantially covers the furniture foot/leg. | 03-15-2012 |
20120068034 | FLOOR PROTECTORS FOR FURNITURE LEGS AND CASTERS AND METHODS OF MAKING AND USING SAME - To facilitate installation of a floor protector to a furniture leg or a caster for movable objects, shrinkable tubing, for example heat-shrink tubing, is used to secure the floor protector to the leg or caster. A tube of heat-shrink material may have at normal temperatures a predetermined unshrunk cross-sectional size large enough to permit the tube to receive the foot portion or caster circumference and a shrinkage ratio sufficient for the tube to be shrunk to a cross-sectional size that is smaller than the foot portion or caster circumference so that, when the tube is shrunk by application of heat or other suitable means, the tube will conform and be secured to the underlying foot portion or caster. Hot-melt adhesive may be applied to the interior of the floor protector and the heat applied to shrink the tube may melt the adhesive to adhere the floor protector to the foot portion or caster. | 03-22-2012 |
20120097818 | FURNITURE LEG FLOOR PROTECTOR - The present invention relates to a furniture leg floor protector. The invention is an improvement over the prior art in that firstly it has a flexible upper sleeve which is stretchable and adapted to receive a leg of many dimensions. This overcomes previous problems with floor protectors which after a certain age and wear, and because of semi-rigid construction, tend to fall off the furniture legs. The invention also presents a process for installing the felt pad on the bottom of the floor protector by means of molding around the pad during molding of the floor protector. This not only fixedly secures the pad to the rest of the floor protector in an integral manner; but also alleviates applying the pads to the floor protector by means of adhesive as a second step in the manufacturing process after molding. | 04-26-2012 |
20120235004 | CORNER PROTECTOR - A corner protector comprising a guard, strap, and plate or rod are disclosed. The second portion and third portion of the guard are substantially orthogonal to the first portion, and to each other. The second portion and third portion meet to define a corner protrusion. The guard has interior extending ribs that are substantially vertical and maintain contact with the guard. The strap has at least one connection member on each end to allow the corner protector to be adjusted vertically. The plate or rod has at least one locking member for creating a locking mechanism with the connection member. | 09-20-2012 |
20120256073 | TABLE GUARD ASSEMBLY - A guard system for a furniture element includes a rail spaced apart from the furniture element, and a support member connected with the rail. The guard system also includes a bracket configured contact at least two surfaces of the furniture element. A resilient connection member is attached to the bracket and the support member. | 10-11-2012 |
20140197295 | Impact Barrier for a Storage Rack - An impact barrier for a storage rack support structure includes an arcuate outer wall having opposed first and second ends, the first and second ends being spaced apart to form a gap therebetween. The impact barrier further includes a first deflection element, a second deflection element, and a third deflection element, wherein the third deflection element is position between the first and second deflection elements. The first deflection element extends from the first end to a first medial position on the outer wall between the first end and the third deflection element, and the second deflection element extends from the second end to a second medial position on the outer wall between the second end and the third deflection element. Upon impact, the first, second and third deflection elements deform to dissipate the energy generated by the impact. | 07-17-2014 |
20140353449 | Apparatus for cushioning corners and related methods - Generally disclosed are apparatus and related methods for blunting sharp corners or otherwise reducing the force of an impact with sharp corners. In one embodiment, the apparatus may generally be in the form of a creature with at least a torso and four appendages defined internally by a skeleton of foam members having a bendable metal core. In use, the appendages may be bent around corners so that the torso of the creature removably, yet securely, resides over the corner whereby the corners are blunted or otherwise the force of impacts with the corner are reduced (e.g., the foam and other components of the apparatus may act as a shock absorber). In a preferred embodiment, a stomach portion of the torso features a non-slip padding that may receive the corner to be blunted to further secure the apparatus over the targeted corner. | 12-04-2014 |
20150076305 | REMOVABLE CORNER GUARD FOR CONTROL TABLES OR TOOL BOXES - A removable corner guard is provided. The removable corner guard is especially suitable for protecting the corners of, for example, control tables or tool boxes from deformations and from scratches. Further, the corner guard may be used as decorative addition to an otherwise plain control table or tool box. The device has a semi-rigid rubber housing which covers securing anchors having an internal skeleton. An extended ridge on a lower end of the corner guard locks the corner guard at the lower end of the edge of the control table. The corner guard may be adjusted to fit control tables or tool boxes of various sizes. A non-slip textured exterior surface may allow for the device to be easily transported. | 03-19-2015 |
