ABSTRACT:
A novel furniture leg glide is disclosed for reducing a screeching sound made by a furniture leg being dragged across a floor. The furniture leg glide is formed from a hollow body portion having an end cap disposed thereon with a flexible coupling formed along the hollow body portion between first and second ends thereof. A piece of felt type material is bonded to the end cap and the flexible coupling permits the piece of felt type material to contact the floor when the furniture leg is angularly displaced in relation to the floor within a predetermined number of degrees. The flexible coupling flexes and compresses in relation to the angular movement of the furniture leg. In accordance with another embodiment of the invention a furniture leg glide is provided for attaching to a furniture leg having a swivel base furniture leg glide disposed thereon.
