Stabilizing Device Used Under A Table Leg, Chair Leg, Or Similar Related Product That Requires Slight Adjustment to Create A Solid Connection To The Floor

Abstract

The present invention relates to a relatively simple, reliable and inexpensive leveling and stabilizing device used under any object that needs balance on any surface; and more particularly to a device used under a table leg, chair leg, or similar related product that requires slight adjustment to create a solid connection to the floor. Furthermore, the present invention provides cushion or shock absorbing properties to the objects that need balancing.

1 . A leveling and stabilizing device under any object that needs balance on any surface comprising:
 (a) an elongate member to engage an object to be supported having an upper end and a lower end; the elongate member having a solid core and a flexible perimeter region, the flexible perimeter region having a number of air gaps along the longitudinal axis of the elongate member;   (b) means for adhering the upper end of the device to an object; and   (c) means for protecting the adhesive means.   
     
     
         2 . A leveling and stabilizing device under a table leg, chair leg, or similar related product that requires slight adjustment to create a solid connection to the floor comprising:
 (a) an elongate member to engage a table leg, chair leg or similar related product having an upper end and a lower end; the elongate member having a solid core and a flexible perimeter region, the flexible perimeter region having a number of air gaps along the longitudinal axis of the elongate member;   (b) means for adhering the upper end of the device to the table leg, chair leg or similar related product; and   (c) means for protecting the adhesive means.   
     
     
         3 . The device of  claim 2  wherein the elongate member is made of Buna rubber. 
     
     
         4 . The device of  claim 2  wherein the elongate member is made of Buna rubber with a hardness of 70 Shore A on a Durometer. 
     
     
         5 . The device of  claim 2  wherein the means for adhering is acrylic adhesive. 
     
     
         6 . The device of  claim 2  wherein the means for protecting the adhering means is silicon release paper. 
     
     
         7 . The device of  claim 2  wherein the elongate member is cylindrical in shape having a round shaped upper end and lower end of a diameter of about 1 inch, the elongate member having a solid core and a flexible perimeter region, the solid core having a diameter of about 0.374 inch, the flexible perimeter region having a number of air gaps along the longitudinal axis of the elongate member, the air gap is about 0.025 inch in height and about 0.313 inch in width and reoccurs about every 0.031 inch. 
     
     
         8 . The device of  claim 2  wherein the elongate member is rectangular in shape having a square shaped upper end and lower end of 1 inch by 1 inch, the elongate member having a solid core and a flexible perimeter region, the solid core having a diameter of about 0.374 inch, the flexible perimeter region having a number of air gaps along the longitudinal axis of the elongate member, the air gap is about 0.025 inch in height and about 0.313 inch in width and reoccurs about every 0.031 inch. 
     
     
         9 . A leveling and stabilizing device under a table leg, chair leg, or similar related product that requires slight adjustment to create a solid connection to the floor comprising:
 (a) an elongate member to engage a table leg, chair leg or similar related product having an upper end and a lower end, the upper end having a layer of acrylic adhesive disposed thereon for adhering to the free lower end of the table leg, chair leg or similar related product, the elongate member having a solid core and a flexible perimeter region, the flexible perimeter region having a number of air gaps along the length of the elongate member;   (b) a silicone release paper is placed on top of the acrylic adhesive layer; and   (c) the elongate member is made of Buna rubber with a hardness of 70 Shore A on a Durometer.   
     
     
         10 . The stabilizing device of  claim 9  wherein the elongate member is cylindrical in shape having a round shaped upper end and lower end with about 1 inch in diameter, the elongate member having a solid core and a flexible perimeter region, the solid core having a diameter of about 0.374 inch, the flexible perimeter region having a number of air gaps along the longitudinal axis of the elongate member, the air gap is about 0.025 inch in height and about 0.313 inch in width and reoccurs about every 0.031 inch. 
     
     
         11 . The stabilizing device of  claim 9  wherein the elongate member is rectangular in shape having a square shaped upper end and lower end of about 1 inch by 1 inch, the elongate member having a solid core and a flexible perimeter region, the solid core having a diameter of about 0.374 inch, the flexible perimeter region having a number of air gaps along the longitudinal axis of the elongate member, the air gap is about 0.025 inch in height and about 0.313 inch in width and reoccurs about every 0.031 inch.
