ABSTRACT:
The present invention relates to a bumper that can be releasably attached to planar edges of furniture such as edges of a cocktail table, end table, library table or the like. The bumper comprises a cushion circumscribed by an appropriately seemed outer cover, the bumper being in the form of a modified cylinder of length L. Preferably, the bumper is of either of a solid or hollow form. In one aspect, the solid cylindrical form of the bumper is modified by providing a minor sector cut-out centered along its axis of formation and extending along its length L. The cut-out defines an included angle of 90 degrees. Hence, the major sector circumference of bumper that remains, defines a circumferential angle of 270 degrees as well as provided a pair of interior, normal faces or walls. In another aspect, the cylindrical form is hollow and modified to provide a longitudinal slot along its length. Attachment of the bumper relative to the edges of the table is provided by a series of selective releasable Velco-type fasteners. Each fastener comprises a planar hook section in which the broad surface opposite the hook surface is attached to either the table edge or to the wall surface or surfaces of the bumper, and a planar loop section in which the broad surface opposite the loop surface is attached to the other element of each fastener.
