  • Patent number: 5820217
    Abstract: A furniture glide system for a furniture piece having a horizontal lower support member includes a pair of opposed outwardly facing indentations on the lower support member and a glide. The glide is generally channel-shaped with a pair of opposed, inwardly projecting bosses. When the glide is installed on the furniture piece, it retains the furniture piece lower support member in the channel and the shoulders of the indentations engage corresponding surfaces on the bosses to secure the glide against axial travel and rotation about the lower support member. The sidewalls of the glide may be notched above the bosses for receiving a shoulder which projects outwardly from the indentation in the lower support member. The sidewalls and end walls of the glide may be angled to impart stability and to facilitate sliding of the furniture piece over floor surfaces.
