Stabilizing device

Abstract

A stabilizing device having a first side having a concentric raised wall disposed adjacent to a perimeter. A second side has a concentric recess disposed adjacent to the perimeter. The stabilizing device has a cylindrical boundary wall at the perimeter connecting the first side to the second side. The stabilizing devices are stackable such that when a second stabilizing device is stacked on top of a first stabilizing device, the concentric raised wall disposed on the first side fits snugly into the concentric recess disposed on the second side of the second stabilizing device.

AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

The patent text describes a stabilizing device for furniture legs that helps to level and stabilize uneven surfaces or rocking tables and chairs. The device is easy to use, durable, and automatically adjusts to different gaps between the floor or ground and the furniture legs. It can be provided on the lower end of a furniture leg or a supporting portion of the furniture, such as a chair, and can be used in both private residences and commercial businesses. The device helps to create a solid connection to the floor and provides a stable and secure foundation for the furniture.

Problems solved by technology

It is often observed that there are instances when a table or chair does not securely sit on the floor or ground in which it is located.

This could be due to the fact that the floor or ground is not completely level or has slight height variations in the surface causing one or more of the legs of the table to rest uneven on the surface of the floor or ground.

This unevenness oftentimes creates a gap between the bottom of the leg and the floor or ground.

It has been often observed at outdoor patio restaurants that the serving tables will rock or be unstable because the floor or ground is uneven or the table legs are not of equal length.

Unfortunately, these attempts are not durable solution and quickly become undone when the table is moved ever so slightly with its intended use.

Unfortunately, this solution is also insufficient, since again any movement in the table will cause the shim device to shift and no longer provide a secure footing for the leg of the table or chair.

Hard materials do not mold or adjust to the variety of gaps that cause unstable table and chair annoyances.
