Abstract

A glider device for a leg of a chair, especially a leg of a chair for a children's chair, comprising a plate which comprises at least one fastening opening and wherein the plate has one smooth underside and a topside, characterized in that it may be fastened in at least two different length positions in relation to the leg of the chair it is fastened to, and that it in both positions has a horizontal extent which is larger than the area it covers on the leg of the chair. A safety kit comprising the glider device and the use of the same is also disclosed.

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
1 . A glider device for a leg of a chair, comprising:
 a plate having one smooth underside and a topside, the plate comprising at least one fastening opening, the plate configured such that when fastened to the leg of the chair the plate may be fastened in at least two different length positions in relation to the leg of the chair, and further that in both positions the plate has a horizontal extent which is larger than the area it covers on the leg of the chair.   
     
     
         2 . The glider device according to  claim 1 , wherein the gliding device is horizontally extended in comparison to an original glider or spacer on the leg of the chair. 
     
     
         3 . The glider device according to  claim 1 , wherein the topside of the plate comprises raised edges. 
     
     
         4 . The glider device according to  claim 1 , wherein the plate comprises two or more fastening openings. 
     
     
         5 . The glider device according to  claim 4 , wherein the fastening openings have conical edges which open towards the underside of the plate. 
     
     
         6 . The glider device according to  claim 1 , adapted for permanent attachment in an existing hole on the underside of the chair leg, further comprising an anchoring element adapted for permanent attachment in the existing hole, the anchoring element optionally including fastening elements. 
     
     
         7 . The glider device according to  claim 1 , wherein the fastening openings are connected by an open track. 
     
     
         8 . The glider device according to  claim 3 , wherein the raised edges comprise longitudinal edges which partly or completely cover the right and left side edges of the gliding device. 
     
     
         9 . The glider device according to  claim 8  wherein the raised edges partially or completely cover a transverse end edge of the glider device. 
     
     
         10 . The glider device according to  claim 8 , wherein at least parts of the right and left raised edges bear against the vertical parts of the leg of a chair in an extended position. 
     
     
         11 . The glider device according to  claim 1 , wherein the underside of the gliding device has a lower friction coefficient than the underside of the leg of a chair on equivalent surfaces. 
     
     
         12 . A safety kit for a children's chair, comprising:
 two glider devices according to  claim 1 , two anchoring elements and two fastening elements.   
     
     
         13 . The use of a glider device according to  claim 1 , as a safety device on a children's chair to reduce the friction between the chair's rear leg and a support. 
     
     
         14 . The use of a safety kit according to  claim 12 , to move the tilting point for the chair rearward in relation to the tilting point of the chair itself. 
     
     
         15 . The glider device according to  claim 1 , wherein the leg of the chair is the leg for a children's chair. 
     
     
         16 . The glider device according to  claim 5 , wherein the fastening openings are conical screw holes. 
     
     
         17 . The glider device according to  claim 6 , wherein the fastening element is a nut plug and the fastening element is a screw. 
     
     
         18 . The glider device according to  claim 17 , wherein the fastening element is a screw with countersinkable head. 
     
     
         19 . The glider device according to  claim 7 , wherein the fastening openings are connected by an open track. 
     
     
         20 . The glider device according to  claim 19 , wherein the open track has the same or smaller width than the diameter of the fastening opening. 
     
     
         21 . The glider device according to  claim 20 , wherein the open track has vertical walls. 
     
     
         22 . The safety kit of  claim 12 , further comprising two replacement gliders being narrower than said glider devices, such that the replacement gliders have substantially the same outer dimensions as an original standard glider supplied with the children's chair. 
     
     
         23 . The use of a safety kit according to  claim 12  as a safety device on a children's chair to reduce the friction between the chair's rear leg and a soft support. 
     
     
         24 . The use of a safety kit according to  claim 23 , wherein the soft support includes carpeting.
