  • Patent number: 7998551
    Abstract: An elastomeric plastic material is molded by known methods to provide a formed, sized, shaped and self-contained, generally unitary, protective member for correspondingly shaped and sized unfinished, raw and the like edge of furniture or other devices which require protection or coverage, such that the protective member, because of its elastomeric characteristics, can be fitted or snapped into assembled position about such unprotected or unfinished edge and then easily fixed into assembled position, by conventional stapling using associated spaced flanges thereon, saving costs of material and labor. In the molding, additional modifications can be added such as a hand grip to facilitate movement of the furniture. The plastic protective member can be molded with a central cavity having an opening into which colored and non-colored fillers and/or braided rope can be inserted.

  • Patent number: 7922134
    Abstract: Generally large objects including ergonomic gaming stools are provided with a supporting assembly including an easy rolling support base to enable them to be moved easily along a generally unidirectional line of movement. An easy rolling support base for the supporting assembly includes a shaped disc member to the underside of which are affixed a plurality of freely mounted roller members in predetermined angular spaced relationship. The freely mounted roller members are so mounted that the rollers are in alignment with each other and rotate in the same direction. A roller members connecting plate is provided to facilitate mounting the roller members in predetermined angular position before they are mounted into assembled position on the easy rolling support base and to facilitate repair of a roller member that may fail. The roller members are formed of materials to support the load and shaped to oppose other than unidirectional movement.
