Adjustable length furniture-to-floor net barrier

Abstract

A furniture gap barrier includes an elongated net; a reinforced fabric binding attached to edges of the net; a loop fastener attached to an elongated central portion of the binding on the top and the bottom; a hook fastener attached to the binding on each end; and a strap extending from the reinforced fabric binding. The barrier is wrapped around the legs of furniture to prevent objects from rolling under the furniture.

What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A furniture gap barrier, comprising:
 an elongated net having a length and a height;   a reinforced fabric binding attached to edges along the length and the height of the elongated net, the reinforced fabric binding having a first surface and a second surface opposite the first surface;   a loop fastener attached to an elongated central portion of the first surface of the reinforced fabric binding on a top and a bottom along the length of the elongated net;   a hook fastener attached to the first surface of the reinforced fabric binding on each end along the height of the elongated net; and   a strap extending from the reinforced fabric binding.   
     
     
         2 . The furniture gap barrier of  claim 1 , wherein the elongated net is polyethylene and the furniture gap barrier is machine-washable. 
     
     
         3 . The furniture gap barrier of  claim 1 , wherein the hook fastener has a flattened “C” shape and is attached to the top, the bottom, and a side on each end. 
     
     
         4 . The furniture gap barrier of  claim 1 , wherein the strap further comprises the loop fastener on a surface contiguous with the first surface of the reinforced fabric binding. 
     
     
         5 . A furniture gap barrier, comprising:
 an elongated net having a length and a height;   a reinforced fabric binding attached to edges along the length and the height of the elongated net, the reinforced fabric binding having a first surface and a second surface opposite the first surface;   a hook fastener attached to an elongated central portion of the first surface of the reinforced fabric binding on a top and a bottom along the length of the elongated net;   a loop fastener attached to the first surface of the reinforced fabric binding on each end along the height of the elongated net; and   a strap extending from the reinforced fabric binding.   
     
     
         6 . The furniture gap barrier of  claim 5 , wherein the loop fastener has a flattened “C” shape and is attached to the top, the bottom, and a side on each end. 
     
     
         7 . The furniture gap barrier of  claim 5 , wherein the strap further comprises the hook fastener on a surface contiguous with the first surface of the reinforced fabric binding.
