Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of protecting tables or chair legs, and specifically to a protective cover used for tables or chair legs.

Background Art

[0002] The protective covers currently on the market for tables or chair legs are generally fixed or single-layered. Most fixed protective covers are only adhered to the tables or chair legs, so they are likely to come off after long-term use. The single-layer protective cover is very thin and cannot play an excellent protective role. Therefore, there is a need for a protective cover that is firm and convenient for use on tables or chair legs. The two-layer type is composed of two members, with the upper layer being TPR soft rubber or TPE soft rubber or silicone rubber, and the lower layer being a felt pad. However, since both the upper soft rubber and the lower felt of the two-layer material are soft felt materials, the entire protective cover is composed of soft structural parts. When the chair moves, the frictional force between the felt part at the bottom and the floor increases, causing the entire soft rubber chair leg cover to be displaced, shifted, loosened, fallen off, or detached, unable to be fixed to the chair leg, and ultimately worn and damaged, bringing a very bad experience to the user.
