The drawings, totaling six figures, show the basic functions of various embodiments and methods. In the several figures, like reference numbers are used in each figure to correspond to the same component as may be depicted in other figures.
- The discussion of the present inventive concept will be initiated with
FIG. 1 , where there is observed a segmented view of the bottom surface of the furniture cinch 1.FIG. 1 further shows an embodiment of the furniture cinch 1 having a roller-designed cinch fastening mechanism, with the roller cinch 5 on one end of the furniture cinch 1 and the platedtip 7 attached to the opposite end of the furniture cinch 1. The main body length of the furniture cinch 1, in its preferred embodiment is constructed from an elastomeric substance, which may be selected from a variety of materials, including silicon derivatives, rubber, plastic, PVC, and similar substances. - The plated
tip 7 is secured to one end of the furniture cinch 1 by a crimping tool or by claw-like appendages on the inner surface of the platedtip 7 arranged perpendicularly to the inner flat surface of the platedtip 7 such that the claw-like appendages penetrate the surface of the furniture cinch 1. - In viewing
FIG. 2 , a segmented side view of the furniture cinch 1 is displayed. The undersurface of the furniture cinch 1 is shown to have continuous, regularly-spacedribs 3 with parallel grooves 3(a) betweensuccessive ribs 3.FIG. 2 further shows that the furniture cinch 1 is operated by placing the platedtip 7 into the gap exposed when thebuckle face 4 is opened. Once the platedtip 7 is inserted within the roller cinch 5 to the necessary length as to effect a loop thereby binding two adjacent furniture legs, thebuckle face 4 of the roller cinch 5 is rotated toward the roller cinch 5 to securely grip the end of the furniture cinch 1 to which the platedtip 7 is attached. - It is also pointed out that, with the roller cinch 5 type fastening mechanism, it is not required that the opposite end of the furniture cinch 1 comprise a plated
tip 7. The opposite end will function just as effectively with the continuation of the strap portion being a solid, squared-off end. Other forms of hastening the opposite ends of the furniture cinch 1 may comprise a hook-and-felt fastening mechanism, a belt buckle-type fastener, snap fasteners, press studs, ratchets, and other means of connection. -
FIG. 3 depicts two similar items of furniture, being upholstered chairs, 9, 10 spaced apart, further showingfront legs FIG. 4 shows the twochairs front legs inset 20. InFIG. 5 , an enlarged view ofinset 20 illustrates theouter surface 2 of the furniture cinch 1 as evidence of theinner ribs 3 of the furniture cinch 1 having established a substantial gripping effect on the twofurniture legs buckle face 4 of the furniture cinch 1 has been closed and tightened upon the furniture cinch 1 after insertion of the platedtip 7, with the end result being a curtailing any separation of the twochairs -
FIG. 6 illustrates an underside view of the aforesaid twochairs FIG. 6 , both the adjacentfront legs rear legs - While preferred embodiments of the present inventive concept have been shown and disclosed herein, it will be obvious to those persons skilled in the art that such embodiments are presented by way of example only and not as a limitation to the scope of the inventive concept. Numerous variations, changes, and substitutions may occur or be suggested to those skilled in the art without departing from the intent, scope, and totality of the inventive concept. Such variations, changes, and substitutions may involve other features which are already known per se and which may be used instead of, or in addition to features already disclosed herein. Accordingly, it is intended that this inventive concept not be limited by the scope of the accompanying claims.
