Abstract

A swivel glide is disclosed herein. The swivel glide can include an upper member coupled to a leg of a furniture and a lower member coupled to the upper member via a ball and socket joint. Both the upper member and the lower member are manufactured via injection molding methods. In one example, a cavity side mold and a core side mold can be coupled together prior to injection molding the upper member. Once finished, the molds can be separated and the upper member can be removed from the molds. In another example, the lower member is injection molded and the upper member is injection molded on top of the lower member.
