Abstract

A protective sleeve for a furniture foot, including a sleeve body made of a flexible material and a felt pad, wherein the sleeve body is of a cylindrical structure with an opening in one end, which includes a bottom wall and a lateral wall integrally formed with the bottom wall; the felt pad is attached to an outer surface of the bottom wall and is in a hot-melt, connection with the bottom wall; a friction coefficient of the felt pad is smaller than that of the sleeve body. The felt pad is disposed on a bottom surface of the sleeve body. As the friction coefficient of the felt pad is smaller than the friction coefficient of the sleeve body, a friction force on the felt pad is smaller when a chair foot is moved against a floor, so that the protective sleeve is prevented from falling off.

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
1 . A protective sleeve for a furniture foot, comprising a sleeve body and a felt pad, wherein
 the sleeve body is of a cylindrical structure with an opening in one end, which comprises a bottom wall and a lateral wall integrally formed with the bottom wall, and the sleeve body is made of a flexible material; and   the felt pad is attached to an outer surface of the bottom wall and is in a hot-melt connection with the bottom wall, and a friction coefficient of the felt pad is smaller than a friction coefficient of the sleeve body;   an inner surface of the bottom wall is provided with at least one convex block; the at least one convex block is configured to prevent a bottom surface of the furniture foot from slipping relative to the bottom wall.   
     
     
         2 . The protective sleeve for a furniture foot of  claim 1 , wherein the felt pad is provided with a first hole. 
     
     
         3 . The protective sleeve for a furniture foot of  claim 2 , wherein the first hole is provided at the center of the felt pad. 
     
     
         4 . The protective sleeve for a furniture foot of  claim 1 , wherein the bottom wall is provided with at least one second hole. 
     
     
         5 . The protective sleeve for a furniture foot of  claim 4 , wherein the at least one second hole comprises a plurality of second holes disposed on the bottom wall. 
     
     
         6 . The protective sleeve for a furniture foot of  claim 1 , wherein an edge of the felt pad extends to a surface of the lateral wall to form a wrapping edge, and the wrapping edge is in a hot-melt connection with the lateral wall. 
     
     
         7 . The protective sleeve for a furniture foot of  claim 2 , wherein an edge of the felt pad extends to a surface of the lateral wall to form a wrapping edge, and the wrapping edge is in a hot-melt connection with the lateral wall. 
     
     
         8 . The protective sleeve for a furniture foot of  claim 3 , wherein an edge of the felt pad extends to a surface of the lateral wall to form a wrapping edge, and the wrapping edge is in a hot-melt connection with the lateral wall. 
     
     
         9 . The protective sleeve for a furniture foot of  claim 4 , wherein an edge of the felt pad extends to a surface of the lateral wall to form a wrapping edge, and the wrapping edge is in a hot-melt connection with the lateral wall. 
     
     
         10 . The protective sleeve for a furniture foot of  claim 5 , wherein an edge of the felt pad extends to a surface of the lateral wall to form a wrapping edge, and the wrapping edge is in a hot-melt connection with the lateral wall. 
     
     
         11 . The protective sleeve for a furniture foot of  claim 1 , wherein a plurality of convex ribs are circumferentially disposed on an inner surface of the lateral wall. 
     
     
         12 . The protective sleeve for a furniture foot of  claim 11 , wherein the lateral wall comprises a first lateral wall section, a second lateral wall section, and a third lateral wall section that are sequentially connected from bottom to top, the first lateral wall section being connected to the bottom wall; when the lateral wall is in a naturally extended state, the second lateral wall section gradually contracts from bottom to top, and the third lateral wall section gradually expands from bottom to top; and each of the plurality of convex ribs is strip-shaped from bottom to top and extends from the second lateral wall section to the third lateral wall section. 
     
     
         13 - 15 . (canceled) 
     
     
         16 . The protective sleeve for a furniture foot of  claim 1 , wherein the at least one convex block comprises a plurality of convex blocks disposed on the bottom wall; and a top surface of each convex block is a convex surface.
