ABSTRACT:
A cushioning device comprises a resilient foam material surrounded by a seamless, woven jacket that is gathered along opposed sides and stitched so that the gathered jacket forms attachment flanges that serve as means to fasten the cushioning device to a pier, loading dock, wall, or the like. The cushioning device is produced by inserting the foam center section down a woven jacket made from polyester, nylon, "NOMEX", "KEVLAR", or similar abrasion-resistant materials, the jacket having an internal diameter greater than the circumference of the foam center section. The excess jacket is gathered into flat portions that are stitched together to form the attachment flanges.
