Furniture leg sock

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, the outer layer having a first outer layer surface and a second outer layer surface, the inner layer having a first inner layer surface and a second inner layer surface, the first outer layer surface and the first inner layer surface being continuous, the second outer layer surface and the second inner layer surface being continuous; and a caster cup. The caster cup is attached to the stretchable/expandable double-layered non-friction material. The caster cup is filled with a deformable friction material.

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, said outer layer having a first outer layer surface and a second outer layer surface, said inner layer having a first inner layer surface and a second inner layer surface, said first outer layer surface and said first inner layer surface being continuous, said second outer layer surface and said second inner layer surface being continuous; and   a caster cup;   said caster cup being attached to said stretchable/expandable double-layered non-friction material;   said caster cup being filled with a deformable friction material   
     
     
         2 . The furniture leg protective sock as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein said caster cup is 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 is 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 is 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 is 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 , wherein said caster cup is attached to said outer layer of said stretchable/expandable double-layered non-friction material. 
     
     
         7 . The furniture leg protective sock as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein said caster cup is attached to said outer layer of said stretchable/expandable double-layered non-friction material by fusing said caster cup to said outer layer. 
     
     
         8 . The furniture leg protective sock as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein said caster cup is attached to said outer layer of said stretchable/expandable double-layered non-friction material by gluing said caster cup to said outer layer. 
     
     
         9 . The furniture leg protective sock as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein said caster cup is attached to said outer layer of said stretchable/expandable double-layered non-friction material by a hook/loop mechanism. 
     
     
         10 . The furniture leg protective sock as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein said caster cup is attached to said outer layer of said stretchable/expandable double-layered non-friction material by snaps. 
     
     
         11 . The furniture leg protective sock as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein said caster cup is located in said gap between said second outer layer surface of said outer layer of said stretchable/expandable double-layered non-friction material and said second inner layer surface of said inner layer of said stretchable/expandable double-layered non-friction material. 
     
     
         12 . The furniture leg protective sock as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein said deformable friction material is neofoam that is deformable and biased to return to original shape. 
     
     
         13 . The furniture leg protective sock as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein said deformable friction material is biased to return to original shape. 
     
     
         14 . The furniture leg protective sock as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein said deformable friction material includes a slit, said slit being configured to enable a caster to penetrate said deformable friction material such that said deformable friction material interfaces with sides of the caster. 
     
     
         15 . The furniture leg protective sock as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein said deformable friction material includes a slit, said slit being configured to create a vertical barrier between said deformable friction material and a caster when the caster penetrates, through said slit, said deformable friction material. 
     
     
         16 . The furniture leg protective sock as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein said deformable friction material includes a channel, said channel being configured to enable a caster to penetrate said deformable friction material such that said deformable friction material interfaces with sides of the caster. 
     
     
         17 . The furniture leg protective sock as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein said deformable friction material includes a channel, said channel being configured to create a vertical barrier between said deformable friction material and a caster when the caster penetrates, through said channel, said deformable friction material.
