Glide for walker leg
Abstract
A glide for walker leg includes a seat including a bottom cavity; a base on the seat and including a hole and a top groove; a hollow first sliding member adapted to mount on the base and including a first bore, a bottom rail slidably inserted into the groove, and a top first slope; a hollow second sliding member including a bottom second slope adapted to matingly, slidably mount on the first slope, a second bore, and an upper threaded section in the second bore; and a threaded fastener adapted to insert through the cavity, the hole, the first and second bores for threadedly securing to the threaded section. Driving the fastener will slide the second sliding member relative to the first sliding member by sliding the rail in the groove so as to urge the first and second sliding members against an inner wall of the leg.
Claims
exact text as granted — not AI-modified1 . A glide mountable in a hollow leg of a device comprising:
a seat including a bottom cavity; a base formed on the seat and including a longitudinal hole in communication with the cavity, and a top first mating member; a hollow post-like first sliding member adapted to mount on the base and including a first bore, a bottom second mating member adapted to slidably insert into the first mating member, and a top first slope; a hollow post-like second sliding member including a bottom second slope adapted to matingly, slidably mount on the first sliding member,
a second bore, and a threaded section formed in an upper portion of the second bore; and
a fastener including a thread and adapted to insert through the cavity, the hole, the first bore, and the second bore for threadedly securing the thread to the threaded section;
whereby driving the fastener will slide the second sliding member relative to the first sliding member by sliding the second mating member in the first mating member, laterally move the second sliding member in a first direction to urge against an inner wall of the leg, and laterally move the first sliding member in a second opposite direction to urge against the inner wall of the leg until the fastener is stopped by a shoulder formed between the cavity and the hole.
2 . The glide of claim 1 , wherein the first mating member is a groove.
3 . The glide of claim 2 , wherein the second mating member is a rail adapted to slidably insert into the groove.
4 . The glide of claim 1 , wherein the second slope is adapted to matingly, slidably mount on the first slope of the first sliding member.Join the waitlist — get patent alerts
