The base top side is placed underneath a leg of a furniture item. A wraparound backing has a backing top edge, a backing bottom edge, a backing left edge, a backing right edge, a backing inner face, and a backing outer face. A midpoint of the backing bottom edge is coupled to the base top side proximal the base perimeter. The wraparound backing moves between a planar position and a wrapped position to encompass the leg of the furniture item with the backing inner face. An outer layer is coupled to the wraparound backing. The outer layer is continuously coupled to the backing outer face and is sufficiently shock-absorptive to prevent injury to a person's toes when accidentally kicked.

Apparatus and Kit for Floor Protection
20230255383 · 2023-08-17 ·

The present disclosure provides a novel design for an apparatus for protecting a floor, the apparatus comprising a plastic plate, a cushioning element, and a sliding element. Both the cushioning elements and sliding elements can be detachably coupled to opposing sides of the plastic plate via adhesive layers. The apparatus can thus take different forms for either sliding or resting furniture legs and casters over both carpeted floors and hard floors. The plastic plate is shaped with a raised lip so as to prevent contact with the floor even when the deformable sliding and cushioning elements are crushed by the heavy weight of furniture. The raised lip is formed so as to form a retaining wall about the concave receiving area where furniture legs may be placed when it is used as a caster. Also provided herein is a kit comprising multiple plastic plates, cushioning elements, and sliding elements, which a user can combine as they see fit for different functions.

Dresser includes a frame having a wall section forming a rear wall, and an upper panel that covers an accessible space. A bracket is designed for attachment to a vertical support, a first connector is attached to the bracket, a second connector is attached to the frame in a position to be in the space and removably engages with the first connector when present in the space under the upper panel. The first and/or second connector is/are length adjustable relative to its supporting structure, i.e., relative to the bracket in the case of the first connector or relative to the frame in the case of the second connector to enable a distance between the frame and the vertical support to be reduced. A reduction in distance between the frame and the vertical support and engagement between the first and second connectors prevents tipping of the piece of furniture.
