ABSTRACT:
An improved floor protector for cello, bass, and bass drum endpins including raised supports on the upper surface to support the endpin effectively at multiple points. Moreover, the floor protector has a curved dome-like top which enables the endpin to engage the floor protector at a variety of angles. Further, the bottom of the floor protector is shaped so that the floor protector may grip a variety of surfaces. Another aspect of the improved floor protector is the use of a self-healing and non-marring material, such as a thermoplastic polymer. The material reduces dulling of the endpin due to contact with the floor protector. Further, the material increases the longevity of the floor protector due to its ability to be punctured without tearing.
