Abstract

See full text

A self-leveling glide assembly for use with a furniture leg includes a glide housing attached to a furniture leg, a recess formed in a bottom portion of the glide housing, and a pad member snap attached to the glide housing and positioned to engage a floor surface. The glide housing is self-leveling to accommodate uneven floor surfaces. The pad member and glide housing can be easily removed and replaced independently without having to replace the other. The pad member is repositionable between two opposing sides each having a wear surface that contacts the floor. The two opposing sides can either be made of the same material or of two different materials. In one embodiment the first side is made of a relatively hard material and the second side is made of a softer material than the first side.
