[0023] The following clearly and completely describes the technical solutions in the embodiments of this utility model with reference to the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of this utility model. Apparently, the described embodiments are some but not all of the embodiments of this utility model. All other embodiments obtained by persons of ordinary skills in the art based on the embodiments of this utility model without creative efforts shall fall within the protection scope of this utility model.

[0024] Referring to FIG. 1 to FIG. 6, in an embodiment provided in this utility model, a multipurpose table and chair leg protector includes an elastic sleeve 2, a table leg 8, a slippery material 4 and an anti-sliding surface 5, where an upper end surface of the elastic sleeve 2 is fixedly provided with a sleeve opening 1, and a bulge 6 is fixedly disposed on an inner bottom surface of the elastic sleeve 2; the slippery material 4 is fixedly disposed at a position on an outer side of a lower end surface of the elastic sleeve 2; the anti-sliding surface 5 is fixedly disposed at a middle position of a lower end surface of the elastic sleeve 2, and a hexagonal anti-sliding texture is used for the anti-sliding surface 5; the table leg 8 is sleeved on an inner wall of the elastic sleeve 2; a groove 7 is disposed at a middle position, closer to an outer side, of the lower end surface of the elastic sleeve 2; and an outer end surface on a lower side of the elastic sleeve 2 is fixedly provided with an enclosing edge 3.

[0025] Specifically, the sleeve opening 1 is made of the elastic material and connected with the elastic sleeve 2, the bulge 6 and the enclosing edge 3 are made of a hard or soft elastomer, the anti-sliding surface 5 is made of an anti-sliding wear-resistant material with texture and has a high friction coefficient, the elastic sleeve is formed in an integration method, the slippery material 4 is made of a wear-resistant material with a low friction coefficient, and the leg protector is formed by performing integrated injection molding on non-woven fabric and the elastic sleeve. In order that the table leg and the leg protector fit more tightly when the leg protector is installed, the sleeve opening 1 is thickened and recessed inward, the table leg does not come into contact with the elastic sleeve 2 as long as the table leg passes through the sleeve opening 1, which is more convenient to operate. A bottom size of the elastic sleeve 2 is greater than an opening size, to adapt to a greater range. An enclosure needs to be thicker than the elastic sleeve 2, to prevent the chair leg from falling off during movement. The highest point inside the bulge 6 does not exceed an upper part of the enclosing edge 3, to prevent the chair from falling off during movement. The bulge 6 is arc-shaped, the hexagonal anti-sliding texture is used for the anti-sliding surface 5, and the peripheral groove 7 provides deformation space for the anti-sliding surface 5 and the bulge 6, to switch between slippery and anti-sliding functions. When nobody sits in the chair, the bulge 6 deforms slightly or even does not deform, the slippery material 4 comes into contact with a ground, the leg protector is in a slippery state at this moment, and the chair can be easily pushed. When somebody sits in the chair, the bulge 6 is deformed or even flattened under pressure, the anti-sliding surface 5 comes into contact with the ground due to deformation, the leg protector is in an anti-sliding state at this moment, and the chair is more stable.

[0026] A working principle is as follows: When the leg protector is used, the table leg 8 is inserted into an inner wall of the elastic sleeve 2, the table leg more tightly fits the elastic sleeve 2, and the sleeve opening 1 is thickened and recessed inward. When nobody sits in the chair, the bulge 6 deforms slightly or even does not deform, the slippery material 4 comes into contact with a ground, the leg protector is in a slippery state at this moment, and the chair can be easily pushed.

[0027] In addition, when somebody sits in the chair, because the bulge 6 is arc-shaped, the bulge 6 is deformed or even flattened under pressure, the anti-sliding surface 5 comes into contact with the ground due to deformation, the leg protector is in an anti-sliding state at this moment, and the chair is more stable.

[0028] Finally, it should be noted that the foregoing embodiments are merely preferred embodiments of this utility model, but are not intended for limiting this utility model. Although this utility model is described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, persons skilled in the art may still make modifications to the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments or make equivalent replacements to some technical features thereof. Any modifications, equivalent replacements, improvements and the like made without departing from the spirit and principle of this utility model shall fall within the protection scope of this utility model.

[0029] This utility model relates to the technical field of table and chair leg protectors and discloses a multipurpose table and chair leg protector, including an elastic sleeve, a table leg, a slippery material and an anti-sliding surface, where an upper end surface of the elastic sleeve is fixedly provided with a sleeve opening, and a bulge is fixedly disposed on an inner bottom surface of the elastic sleeve. In this utility model, if the leg protector is used, the table leg is inserted into an inner wall of the elastic sleeve, and when nobody sits in the chair, the bulge deforms slightly or even does not deform, the slippery material comes into contact with a ground, the leg protector is in a slippery state at this moment, and the chair can be easily pushed. When somebody sits in the chair, the bulge is deformed or even flattened under pressure, the anti-sliding surface comes into contact with the ground due to deformation, the leg protector is in an anti-sliding state at this moment, and the chair is more stable. The leg protector not only resolves the problem that the chair is inconvenient to move when nobody sits in the chair, but also ensures the stability and the safety after somebody sits in the chair. The leg protector has a simple structure, is easy to install, and has low costs, and therefore, has a high practical value and marketing prospects.
