English translation:clip-on floor protectors
Explanation:
Having seen what these things are in German, I was unable to find anything like them in the English-speaking web. They are just a rubber pipe, slit lengthwise, that wraps around the tubular leg of the table that comes into contact with the floor.

I give you this more as a description than a translation, but good luck whatever you choose. See the link for a German drawing.
