Chair stabilizing device

Abstract

A device for preventing tipping over of a chair that includes individual legs, in general four. The device comprises a leg member, a support foot attached at an angle to the leg member, and clamps to secure the device on the back legs of the chair with individual legs. The support foot includes a flat bottom, which will be slightly higher than the bottom of the chair's legs and also maintains an angle sloping downward towards the chair when the device is secured on the chair's back leg. After two of these devices are secured to the two back legs and when the chair is tilted back, the entire bottom portion of the support foot will be firmly on the ground, thereby preventing the chair from tipping over.

1 . A device for preventing tipping over of a chair comprising four individual legs, said device comprising: a leg member; a support foot attached at an angle to a first end of said leg member; means to secure said device to a back leg of said chair such that said support foot is positioned away from rear end of said chair, said means is attached to a second end of said leg member, wherein a bottom portion of said support foot will be slightly higher than the bottom of said individual legs and also maintains an angle sloping downward towards said chair when said device is secured on said back leg.  
   
   
       2 . The device of  claim 1 , wherein two of said devices when secured to the two back legs prevent tipping over of the chair.  
   
   
       3 . The device of  claim 1 , wherein after two of said devices are secured to the two back legs, the entire bottom portion of the support foot will be firmly on the ground when the chair is tilted back, thereby preventing the chair from tipping over.  
   
   
       4 . The device of  claim 1 , wherein the bottom portion of the support foot is substantially flat.  
   
   
       5 . The device of  claim 1 , wherein the bottom portion of the support foot includes a rubber coating or base to prevent slipping and provide firm grip.  
   
   
       6 . The device of  claim 1 , wherein a plurality of clamps along with a plurality of bolts and nuts can be used as the means to secure said device to the back leg of the chair.  
   
   
       7 . The device of  claim 6 , wherein the inner surfaces of the clamps are provided with rubber inserts to prevent slipping and damage to the legs of the chair.  
   
   
       8 . The device of  claim 6 , wherein suitable shapes can be employed for the clamps to fit to different shapes of the chair legs, such as cylindrical, quadrilateral, triangular, or the like.  
   
   
       9 . The device of  claim 1 , wherein two clamps along with four bolts and nuts can be used as the means to secure said device to the back leg of the chair.  
   
   
       10 . The device of  claim 9 , wherein one of the clamps is permanently attached to the second end of the leg member.  
   
   
       11 . The device of  claim 9 , wherein the inner surfaces of the clamps are provided with rubber inserts to prevent slipping and damage to the legs of the chair.  
   
   
       12 . The device of  claim 9 , wherein suitable shapes can be employed for the two clamps to adjust to different shapes of the chair legs, such as cylindrical, quadrilateral, triangular, or the like.  
   
   
       13 . The device of  claim 1 , wherein the device can be made of tempered metal product to provide strength and durability.  
   
   
       14 . The device of  claim 1 , wherein several colors of said device are possible to match the existing color of the chair on which it is mounted.  
   
   
       15 . The device of  claim 1 , wherein said device can be retrofitted to any type of existing chair with individual legs, such as kitchen chairs, dining room chairs, high chairs, patio chairs, or the like.  
   
   
       16 . A device for preventing tipping over of a chair comprising four individual legs, said device comprising: a leg member; a support foot with a flat bottom attached at an angle to a first end of said leg member; means to secure said device to a back leg of said chair such that said support foot is positioned away from rear end of said chair, said means is attached to a second end of said leg member, wherein the flat bottom of said support foot will be slightly higher than the bottom of said individual legs and also maintains an angle sloping downward towards said chair when said device is secured on said back leg; whereby after two of said devices secured to the two back legs, the entire bottom portion of the support foot will be firmly on the ground when the chair is tilted back, thereby preventing the chair from tipping over.
