Sand foot

Abstract

A foot for use on soft surfaces has a concave cavity facing downwardly from a mounting bracket. The foot may be used in combination with a cart, dolly, trailer, chair, table, stool, platform or the like.

What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A foot for use on soft, granular surfaces, said foot having a mounting member for attachment to an object to be supported thereby and a dome member with a concave cavity having an open mouth. 
     
     
         2 . A foot as in  claim 1  wherein said dome member has an outwardly facing edge defining an open mouth of a concave cavity adapted to capture and compress granules of a granular surface to support said foot thereon when said foot is placed on an upper surface of said loose granules and downward force is applied to said foot. 
     
     
         3 . A foot as in  claim 1  in combination with an object to be supported. 
     
     
         4 . A foot as in  claim 3  wherein said object is a chair. 
     
     
         5 . A foot as in  claim 3  wherein said object is a table. 
     
     
         6 . A foot as in  claim 3  wherein said object is a cart. 
     
     
         7 . A foot as in  claim 3  wherein said object is a dolly. 
     
     
         8 . A foot as in  claim 3  wherein said object is a trailer. 
     
     
         9 . A foot as in  claim 3  wherein said object is a stool. 
     
     
         10 . A foot as in  claim 3  wherein said object is a platform. 
     
     
         11 . A foot as in  claim 1  wherein said foot is comprised of an elastomeric material. 
     
     
         12 . A foot as in  claim 1  wherein said foot is comprised of a plastic material. 
     
     
         13 . A foot as in  claim 1  wherein said mounting member has a channel for receiving a tube of an object to be supported by said foot. 
     
     
         14 . A foot as in  claim 13  wherein said channel has side walls for clampingly gripping said tube. 
     
     
         15 . A foot as in  claim 14  wherein said side walls of said channel have clips for retention of said tube in said channel. 
     
     
         16 . A foot as in  claim 13  wherein said channel has side walls and said tube is held in said channel by a fastener extending transversely through said channel and said side walls. 
     
     
         17 . In combination, a chair and a foot, said chair having a horizontally disposed tube and said foot having a mounting member attached to said tube, said foot having a dome member with an outwardly facing edge defining an open mouth of a concave cavity adapted to capture and compress granules of a granular surface to support said foot thereon when said foot is placed on an upper surface of said loose granules and downward force is applied to said foot. 
     
     
         18 . In combination, a chair and a table, said table having a horizontally disposed tube and said foot having a mounting member attached to said tube, said foot having a dome member with an outwardly facing edge defining an open mouth of a concave cavity adapted to capture and compress granules of a granular surface to support said foot thereon when said foot is placed on an upper surface of said loose granules and downward force is applied to said foot.
