ABSTRACT:
A gap cover device for covering a gap between clothes washer and dryer appliances having generally parallel juxtaposed sidewalls defining a gap between the appliances. The gap cover device includes a flexible elongated member having a generally T-shaped transverse cross-sectional configuration defining a gap spanning portion of sufficient transverse width to span the gap between the appliances, and an insert arm portion disposed generally normal to an underside of the gap spanning portion and adapted to be inserted into the gap. The insert arm portion has outwardly facing side surfaces at least one of which has a magnetic strip carried thereon operative to releasably secure the gap cover device to a selected one of the appliances to prevent objects from falling into the gap.
