Abstract
A chair foot device for a wire frame chair stackable with other wire frame chairs includes a lower surface disposable on a support surface. An upper surface, opposite the lower surface is sized and shaped to carry the lower surface of an adjacent foot from an adjacently stacked upper chair. The chair foot also includes an alignment protrusion disposed on one of the lower and upper surfaces and an alignment indentation disposed on the other of the lower and upper surfaces. The alignment protrusion is sized and shaped to be receivable within an alignment indentation of a corresponding foot from an adjacently stacked chair. The foot is sized and shaped to carry an applied load from an adjacently stacked upper foot and to transfer the applied load to an adjacent load bearing surface. The foot is also sized and shaped to protect the wire frame chair from damage during stacking.
