ABSTRACT:
A protective glide is adapted to be interfaced between a support surface and a foot portion of a legged object to protect the support surface against abrasion. The glide comprises a unitary body constructed of a non-abrasive material of sufficient stiffness to withstand compressive forces of the legged object against the surface thereby to resist collapse. The unitary body is mountable to the foot portion and as a lower area operative to contact the support the surface and an upper area opposite the lower area which is in facing relationship to the foot portion when mounted. The unitary body has a plurality of cavities formed therein with web elements separating adjacent one of these cavities. Preferably, a resilient member is interposed between the foot portion and the glide device and operates to conform the contours on a contact surface of the foot portion to stabilize the support log on the support surface.
