ABSTRACT:
An elastically deformable fender comprising an impact receiving section having a predetermined thickness and a top surface being formed flat and forming a contact surface with a broadside, a pair of supporting sections extending from the reverse side of the impact receiving section mentioned above so as to diverge away from each other in an unfolded fan fashion and formed integrally with the impact receiving section, and fitting sections expanding outwardly from the ends of the supporting sections in parallel to the contact surface aforementioned. The thickness of the impact receiving section mentioned above is formed thick so as to protrude distinctly from the supporting sections and the width is formed smaller than the span between the heels of the supporting sections. Furthermore, between the supporting sections on the reverse side of the impact receiving section a hollow portion is formed lengthwise for preventing the impact receiving section from curving when the contact load of a ship is applied.
