Abstract: A chair having a seat portion that is capable of selectively moving between a rocking position and a stop position, the seat portion being joined to a bottom support comprising a rocking section, a flat section, and a transitional section, the rocking section having a defined curvature and extending between a front end of the bottom support component and the transitional section, the flat section having a substantially flat portion extending between a back end of the bottom support component and the transitional section, in the rocking position the chair is movable along the defined curvature of the rocking section, in the stop position the chair is configured to limit movement of the chair to the stop position, wherein the chair transitions between the rocking position and stop position by rotating past the transitional section of the bottom support.

Abstract: A rocking chair has a seat, a back attached to the seat, a right rocker, at least one right leg connected to the seat and to the right rocker, a left rocker and at least one left leg connected to the seat and to the left rocker. The rockers each have a base having an inside edge and an outside edge the base having a slope such that when the rocking chair is placed on a flat surface a portion of the inside edge will be in contact with the flat surface and the outside edge will not be in contact will the flat surface. The rockers may alternatively or additionally each have an inwardly curving center portion. These features alone or in combination can prevent the rockers from splaying outward when a weight is dropped on the chair or while a person is rocking the chair.

Abstract: The present invention is rocking chair rocker cover consisting of an elongated pocket-shaped sleeve that fits snugglely over the entire length of a rocker. The cover has an elongated opening to allow the cover to the fitting onto, and easily removed from, a rocker. In use, the opening is drawn closed over the top of a rocker by closure devices such as elastic cord secured to the opening perimeter and cross ties. The covering material may consist of woven fabric such as readily available quilting, providing a means of easily adding to the aesthestic appeal of the device. To increase protection from contact injury, the cover includes cushioning such as foam rubber or polyester fiber fill captured on or within a flexible covering material. In some embodiments a nonskid element is positioned under the rocker bearing surface to increase friction of the rocker against a floor surface in use.

Abstract: A floor protector that fits and conforms exactly to the shape of a rocking chair rocker foot (also referred to as rocker arm, runner, rocker). A floor protector that is both functional and decorative. A fabric “slipper” that fits and conforms exactly to the shape of a rocking chair rocker foot (also referred to as rocker arm, runner, rocker). The “slipper” stretches to slip on and off. There is foam or padding inserted inside on the bottom for cushioning to prevent damage and noise. There are two ties placed at strategic points to be tied in a bow to secure the “slipper” to the rocker foot. There is a stationary bow and lace trim for decorative purposes.

Abstract: The present invention provides an apparatus comprising a rigid block with two rigid arms such that there is at least one flexible flap extending from each of the arms in mutual convergent attitude and biased toward a center of the space between the rigid arms. The space between the rigid arms provides integral convexly curved surface such that it enables the invention to advantageously accept a downwardly facing surface of the rocker in line contact. The invented device, wedged between a rocker of a chair and a floor surface, receives the rocker in the space between the rigid arms, upon which the flexible flaps, having by construction bias sufficient to grip of the rocker, hold the invention on the rocker so that the chair is precluded from a rocking motion and thus is immobilized. Additionally, the apparatus' surface facing a floor surface is adapted with an anti-skidding device for contact with the floor.
