[Problems to be solved by the invention]

 It is desirable that such a furniture leg receiver is attached such that there is no gap between the outer peripheral portion of the upper surface and the bottom surface of the leg portion of the furniture. However, depending on the state of the irregularities on the bottom surface of the furniture leg, a slight protrusion on the bottom surface of the furniture abuts on the top surface of the furniture leg support, and the In some cases, a gap was formed between the furniture and the bottom of the leg. In this way, when the furniture footrest is attached with the gap, the furniture footrest is attached with no gap, for example, due to friction with the floor when moving the furniture. Furniture foot supports were easy to rotate around fixing members. If furniture is used for a long time in such a state, the portion of the furniture leg that is in contact with the fixing member of the furniture leg support will be worn down, and eventually the furniture leg support will be worn. It is easy for the furniture to come off from the bottom of the legs.

[0005] An object of the present invention is to provide a furniture leg support that is hard to form a gap in an outer peripheral portion of an upper surface that is in contact with the bottom surface of the furniture when attached to the bottom surface of the furniture.

[0006]

[Means for Solving the Problems and Effects of the Invention]

 To solve the above problem, a furniture leg support according to claim 1, which is a furniture leg support attached to a bottom surface of a leg of furniture, wherein the leg support member having a concave upper surface; A fixing member protruding from an upper surface of the receiving member, wherein the fixing member is driven into the bottom surface of the leg of the furniture so that the upper surface of the leg receiving member contacts the bottom surface of the leg. It is characterized by a structure that can be fixed to the bottom surface.

According to the furniture leg receiver configured as above, since the upper surface of the leg receiving member is concave, even if a slight downward projection is formed on the bottom surface of the leg of the furniture. The convex portion enters the concave surface of the leg receiving member, and the outer peripheral portion of the upper surface of the leg receiving member contacts the bottom surface of the leg of the furniture. Therefore, in appearance, there is no gap between the bottom surface of the furniture leg and the leg receiving member. Therefore, it is difficult for the furniture leg receiver to rotate around the fixing member, and it is difficult for the furniture leg holder to come off from the bottom surface of the furniture leg.

[0008] Further, the furniture leg support according to claim 2 is characterized in that a flange is formed at an upper end of the leg support member. According to the furniture leg support thus configured, since the flange is formed at the upper end of the leg support member, when attaching the furniture leg support to the bottom surface of the furniture leg, the upper surface of the leg support member is required. The flange is deformed greatly in the up and down direction when the outer peripheral part is pressed against the bottom of the leg of the furniture. Therefore, it is easier to eliminate the gap between the bottom surface of the leg of the furniture and the top surface of the leg receiving member, as compared with a case without such a flange.

[0009] Further, according to a third aspect of the present invention, there is provided a furniture leg support, wherein a groove is formed on an upper surface of the leg support member along an outer peripheral portion of the upper surface. In this furniture leg receiver, the groove formed on the upper surface of the leg support member may be formed so as to make a full circumference along the outer peripheral portion, or may be formed only partially along the outer peripheral portion. May be formed.

[0010] According to the leg support for furniture configured as described above, since the groove is formed along the outer peripheral portion of the upper surface of the leg support member, the leg support for furniture is attached to the bottom surface of the leg of the furniture. At the time of attachment, the outer peripheral portion of the upper surface of the leg receiving member is pressed against the bottom surface of the leg portion of the furniture, so that the leg receiving member is greatly deformed in a direction of expanding or narrowing the groove. Therefore, it is easier to eliminate the gap between the bottom surface of the leg of the furniture and the upper surface of the leg receiving member as compared with the case without such a groove.

[0011] Further, according to a fourth aspect of the present invention, in the furniture leg receiver, the upper end side of the fixing member has a cylindrical shape. According to the furniture leg receiver configured as above, the fixing member driven into the bottom surface of the furniture leg and the interior of the furniture leg portion are compared with the fixing member having a sharp upper end like a nail. Since the contact area is large and the legs are gripped by the cylindrical inner portion, the frictional resistance between the two is increased, and the fixing member is hard to come off.

[0012] Further, according to a fifth aspect of the present invention, there is provided a furniture leg support, wherein the fixing member has a flange-shaped embedding portion on a lower end side, and is provided in a synthetic resin material forming the leg support member. The embedded portion is integrated with the leg receiving member in a state where the embedded portion is embedded.

[0013] According to the leg support for furniture configured as described above, the fixing member is integrated with the leg support in a state in which the embedding portion is embedded in the leg support. The fixing member does not fall off. Further, the furniture leg support according to claim 6 is a furniture leg support attached to a bottom surface of a furniture leg, wherein the felt layer has a lower surface abutting on a floor surface, and an upper side of the felt layer. A leg receiving member made of a laminated synthetic resin layer; and a metal fixing member protruding from an upper surface of the leg receiving member, wherein the leg receiving member has a flange formed at an upper end, and has an upper surface. The fixing member has a concave surface, and has a cylindrical protruding portion protruding upward and a flange-shaped embedded portion provided at a lower end of the protruding portion, and is a synthetic resin forming the leg receiving member. The embedded portion is integrated with the leg receiving member in a state where the embedded portion is embedded in the material, and the protrusion of the fixing member is driven into the bottom surface of the leg portion of the furniture, so that the upper surface of the leg receiving member is attached to the leg. It is structured so that it can be fixed to the bottom of the leg while being in contact with the bottom of the leg Characterized in that that.

According to the furniture leg support thus configured, since the flange is formed on the synthetic resin layer, when attaching the furniture leg support to the bottom surface of the leg of the furniture, the upper surface of the leg support member is required. The outer peripheral portion is pressed against the bottom surface of the furniture leg, so that the flange is elastically deformed in the vertical direction and presses the bottom surface of the furniture leg. Therefore, if the flange is made of an elastically deformable member such as synthetic resin, the gap between the bottom surface of the furniture leg and the top surface of the leg receiving member will be greater than if the flange is made of a material that does not elastically deform. Is easy to resolve.

It is sufficient that the upper surface of the leg receiving member is concave, and for example, a downwardly convex spherical surface, a paraboloid, or the like can be employed as the shape of the upper surface. Further, as in a furniture leg receiver according to claim 7, the leg receiving member is configured such that, when assuming a first straight line and a second straight line which are horizontal and orthogonal to each other, the first The shape of the upper surface should be such that the upper end of the vertical section perpendicular to the straight line is a straight line, and the upper end of the vertical section perpendicular to the second straight line is the same curve. Can also.

[0016]

[Embodiment of the invention]

 Next, an embodiment of the present invention will be described with an example. As shown in FIG. 1, the leg support 1 for furniture includes a felt layer 12 having a lower surface in contact with a floor surface, and a leg support member 10 including a synthetic resin layer 14 laminated on the felt layer 12. A metal fixing member 20 protruding from the upper surface of the leg receiving member 10 is provided.

The leg receiving member 10 has a flange 16 formed at an upper end, and an upper surface 18 is concave. The fixing member 20 includes a cylindrical protruding portion 22 protruding upward, and a flange-like embedded portion 24 provided at a lower end of the protruding portion 22. The fixing member 20 is integrated with the leg receiving member 10 in a state where the embedding portion 24 is embedded in the synthetic resin material forming the leg receiving member 10.

As shown in FIG. 2, the leg support 1 for a furniture is such that the protrusion 22 of the fixing member 20 is driven into the bottom surface of the leg L of the furniture, so that the upper surface 18 of the leg support member contacts the bottom surface of the leg L. It can be fixed to the bottom surface of the leg L in a state where it is in contact with the leg L. According to the furniture leg receiver 1 configured as described above, since the upper surface 18 of the leg receiving member is concave, even if a slight downward projection is formed on the bottom surface of the leg L of the furniture. The convex portion enters the concave surface of the leg receiving member 10, and the outer peripheral portion of the upper surface 18 of the leg receiving member contacts the bottom surface of the leg L of the furniture. Therefore, in appearance, there is no gap between the bottom surface of the leg L of the furniture and the leg receiving member 10. Therefore, it is difficult for the furniture leg receiver 1 to rotate around the fixing member 20, and it is difficult for the furniture leg receiver 1 to be pulled out from the bottom surface of the furniture leg L.

Further, since the flange 16 is formed at the upper end of the leg receiving member 10, when the furniture leg receiving member 1 is attached to the bottom surface of the leg L of the furniture, the outer peripheral portion of the upper surface 18 of the leg receiving member is connected to the leg of the furniture. The flange 16 is greatly deformed in the vertical direction by being pressed against the bottom surface of the portion L. Therefore, it is easier to eliminate the gap between the bottom surface of the leg L of the furniture and the upper surface 18 of the leg receiving member as compared with the case without the flange 16.

Further, since the flange 16 is formed on the synthetic resin layer 14, when the furniture leg receiver 1 is attached to the bottom surface of the leg L of the furniture, the outer peripheral portion of the upper surface 18 of the leg receiving member is formed by the leg L of the furniture. By being pressed against the bottom surface, the flange 16 presses the bottom surface of the leg L of the furniture while being elastically deformed in the vertical direction. Therefore, if the flange 16 is formed of a member which is elastically deformable such as a synthetic resin, the flange 16 is formed of a member which is not elastically deformed, as compared with the case where the flange 16 is formed of a member which is not elastically deformed. It is easy to close the gap.

The contact area between the fixing member 20 driven into the bottom of the leg L of the furniture and the interior of the leg L of the furniture is smaller than that of the fixing member 20 having a pointed shape like a nail. Since it is large and the legs L are gripped inside the protruding portions 22, the frictional resistance between the two is increased, and the fixing member 20 is hard to come off.

Further, since the fixing member 20 is integrated with the leg receiving member 10 in a state where the embedding portion 24 is embedded in the leg receiving member 10, the fixing member 20 falls off from the leg receiving member 10. I can't wait. As described above, the embodiments of the present invention have been described. However, the present invention is not limited to the above-described specific embodiment, and can be implemented in various other modes.

For example, in the above embodiment, only one fixing member 20 is provided. However, two or more fixing members 20 may be provided in one furniture leg support. Further, a groove may be formed on the upper surface 18 of the leg receiving member along the outer peripheral portion of the upper surface 18. As a specific example, for example, the groove G1 may be formed so as to make a full circle around the upper surface 18 along the outer peripheral portion, as in the furniture leg receiver 2 shown in FIG. The groove G2 may be formed only partially along the outer peripheral portion as in the furniture leg holder 3 shown in b). According to the furniture leg receivers 2 and 3 configured as described above, since the grooves G1 and G2 are formed along the outer peripheral portion of the upper surface of the leg support member 10, the furniture leg receiver 1 is not used. When the furniture is attached to the bottom surface of the leg L of the furniture, the outer periphery of the top surface 18 of the leg receiving member is pressed against the bottom surface of the leg L of the furniture, so that the leg receiving member 10 expands or narrows the grooves G1 and G2. Deform. Therefore, it is easier to eliminate the gap between the bottom surface of the leg L of the furniture and the upper surface 18 of the leg receiving member as compared to the case without such grooves G1 and G2.

The leg receiving member 10 only needs to have a concave upper surface 18. For example, a downwardly convex spherical surface, a paraboloid, or the like can be employed as the shape of the upper surface. Further, as a leg support for furniture, the leg support member 10 has an upper end of a vertical section perpendicular to the first straight line when a first straight line and a second straight line, each of which is horizontal and orthogonal to each other, are assumed. Can be adopted as the shape of the upper surface 18 such that the upper end of the vertical section perpendicular to the second straight line has the same curved line.

Further, a manufacturer name, a serial number, and the like of the furniture leg receiver 1 may be engraved on a position other than the outer peripheral portion on the upper surface 18 of the leg receiving member. In this case, since the sculpture portion is sandwiched between the upper surface 18 of the leg receiving member and the bottom surface of the leg portion L of the furniture, for example, the sculpture portion may be damaged by friction with the floor surface when moving the furniture. Less likely to occur. Therefore, even if the furniture is used for a long period of time with the furniture leg receiver 1 attached, the manufacturer name and the serial number can be surely confirmed by removing the furniture leg receiver 1.
