Abstract:
1. A furniture glide, comprising: a cylindrical elastomeric body adapted for insertion into a tubular furniture leg, the body having a first end and a second end; an integrally formed bulbous support positioned at the first end of the body; at least two integrally formed discrete engagement members positioned at the second end of the body with a centrally positioned gap providing complete separation between the at least two engagement members such that upon insertion of a pressure member into the gap that has a width larger than the gap when the second end of the body is positioned within the tubular furniture leg, the at least two engagement members are forced outwardly and into engagement with the tubular furniture leg; a centrally positioned axial guide channel being provided in the first end of the body, such that the guide channel guides movement of the pressure member and enables a remote end of the pressure member to be recessed in spaced relation to the bulbous support, the guide channel being a blind bore and the pressure member being a pin which is adapted to penetrate the body at a remote end of the blind bore and extend through a solid portion of the body to access the gap between the engagement members, the solid portion of the body providing a friction engagement to prevent inadvertent removal of the pin.
