Abstract

A chair caddie, comprises a central hub and four arms. Each of the four arms is coupled to and extends outwardly from the central hub and is adapted to support a chair leg. Each arm is supported by a surface-engaging roller. The surface-engaging rollers cooperate to elevate the arms and the central hub above a planar surface engaged by the surface-engaging rollers. Each arm carries a chair foot receptacle adapted to receive and support a chair foot, and each roller is positioned inboard of the chair foot receptacle on its respective arm. The chair foot receptacles define a notional chair footprint circumscribing the chair foot receptacles, and the surface-engaging rollers have centers of rotation that are inside the chair footprint.

Claims (18)

1. A chair caddie, comprising:

a central hub, wherein the central hub comprises four struts;

four arms, each of the four arms being coupled to and extending outwardly from the central hub and adapted to support a chair leg;

each arm being supported by a surface-engaging roller;

wherein the surface-engaging rollers cooperate to elevate the arms and the central hub above a planar surface engaged by the surface-engaging rollers;

each arm carrying a chair foot receptacle adapted to receive and support a chair foot;

wherein each roller is positioned inboard of the chair foot receptacle on its respective arm;

wherein each strut is pivotally coupled to each adjacent strut at respective strut joints so that each strut can pivot relative to each adjacent strut about a respective strut pivot axis, wherein the strut pivot axes are parallel to one another;

for a first pair of adjacent arms, each roller is positioned longitudinally inboard of the chair foot receptacle on its respective arm; and

for a second pair of adjacent arms, each roller is positioned laterally inboard of the chair foot receptacle on its respective arm.

3. The chair caddie of claim 2 , wherein each strut joint is lockable so as to secure the respective struts and arm thereof in fixed pivotal positions relative to one another.

4. The chair caddie of claim 2 , wherein each strut is lockable at a selected length.

5. The chair caddie of claim 4 , wherein each strut is incrementally adjustable between a maximum length and a minimum length.
