Abstract:
A furniture leg protective sock is constructed of a stretchable/expandable non-friction material, which forms an outer surface and an inner surface. The furniture leg protective sock includes friction material which is located on the inner surface of the furniture leg protective sock.

Claim (Index 5):
A furniture leg protective sock to prevent scraping of a floor by furniture having a furniture leg, the furniture leg having a bottom surface for engaging the floor and a side surface substantially orthogonal to the bottom surface, the sock comprising:\n expandable non-friction material; and friction material; said expandable non-friction material allowing the bottom surface of the furniture leg to slide across the floor; said expandable non-friction material including,\n a top portion having an interior surface, an exterior surface and an opening to slip the sock onto the furniture leg, \n a closed bottom portion having an interior surface and an exterior surface, said closed bottom portion covering the bottom surface of the furniture leg and the floor when said closed bottom portion engages the bottom surface of the furniture leg, and \n a middle portion having an interior surface and an exterior surface, said middle portion extending between said opening of said top portion and said closed bottom portion, said middle portion engaging the side surface of the furniture leg; \n said middle portion being substantially orthogonal, when said closed bottom portion and said middle portion engage the furniture leg, to said closed bottom portion; said friction material being formed on a first portion of said interior surface of said closed bottom portion of said expandable non-friction material; said interior surface of said middle portion of said expandable non-friction material engaging the bottom surface of the furniture leg; a second portion of said interior surface of said closed bottom portion of said expandable non-friction material and said friction material formed on said first portion of said interior surface of said closed bottom portion engaging the side surface of the furniture leg; said friction material formed on said first portion of said interior surface of said closed bottom portion minimizing, when the furniture leg is moved across the floor, slippage of the sock parallel to the side surface of the furniture leg by providing friction therebetween; said second portion of the interior surface of the closed bottom portion of the expandable non-friction material being without any of the friction material thereon.
