Abstract

A furniture leg protective sock to prevent a furniture leg from scraping or marring a floor includes a stretchable/expandable double-layered non-friction material to form an outer layer, an inner layer, and a gap therebetween; and a caster cup. The caster cup may be located in the gap between the outer layer of the stretchable/expandable double-layered non-friction material and the inner layer of the stretchable/expandable double-layered non-friction material; attached to the outer layer of the stretchable/expandable double-layered non-friction material; or attached to the inner layer of the stretchable/expandable double-layered non-friction material.

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A furniture leg protective sock to prevent a furniture leg from scraping or marring a floor, comprising:
 a stretchable/expandable double-layered non-friction material to form an outer layer, an inner layer, and a gap therebetween; and   a caster cup;   said caster cup being attached to said inner layer of said stretchable/expandable double-layered non-friction material.   
     
     
         2 . The furniture leg protective sock as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein said caster cup being attached to said inner layer of said stretchable/expandable double-layered non-friction material by fusing said caster cup to said inner layer. 
     
     
         3 . The furniture leg protective sock as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein said caster cup being attached to said inner layer of said stretchable/expandable double-layered non-friction material by gluing said caster cup to said inner layer. 
     
     
         4 . The furniture leg protective sock as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein said caster cup being attached to said inner layer of said stretchable/expandable double-layered non-friction material by a hook/loop mechanism. 
     
     
         5 . The furniture leg protective sock as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein said caster cup being attached to said inner layer of said stretchable/expandable double-layered non-friction material by snaps. 
     
     
         6 . The furniture leg protective sock as claimed in  claim 1 , further comprising:
 stabilizing material   said stabilizing material floating in said gap between said inner layer and said outer layer.   
     
     
         7 . The furniture leg protective sock as claimed in  claim 6 , wherein said stabilizing material is a plurality of adjacent pieces of stabilizing material that float in said gap between said inner layer and said outer layer. 
     
     
         8 . The furniture leg protective sock as claimed in  claim 6 , wherein said stabilizing material includes a stabilizing material gap. 
     
     
         9 . The furniture leg protective sock as claimed in  claim 6 , further comprising:
 elastic material;   said elastic material being attached, across said stabilizing material gap, to said stabilizing material on either side of said stabilizing material gap.   
     
     
         10 . The furniture leg protective sock as claimed in  claim 1 , further comprising:
 non-penetrating material to prevent a furniture leg from piercing through said stretchable/expandable double-layered non-friction material;   said non-penetrating material floating in said gap between said inner layer and said outer layer.   
     
     
         11 . A furniture leg protective sock to prevent a furniture leg from scraping or marring a floor, comprising:
 a stretchable/expandable double-layered non-friction material to form an outer layer, an inner layer, and a gap therebetween; and   a caster cup;   said caster cup being attached to said outer layer of said stretchable/expandable double-layered non-friction material.   
     
     
         12 . The furniture leg protective sock as claimed in  claim 11 , wherein said caster cup being attached to said outer layer of said stretchable/expandable double-layered non-friction material by fusing said caster cup to said outer layer. 
     
     
         13 . The furniture leg protective sock as claimed in  claim 11 , wherein said caster cup being attached to said outer layer of said stretchable/expandable double-layered non-friction material by gluing said caster cup to said outer layer.
