ABSTRACT:
A heavy duty fender structure is disclosed which is particularly adapted for marine use. The fender includes an extruded elastomeric core having a chain extending along its axis and providing free end portions at the ends of the core for mounting the fender. A plurality of molded elastomeric discs are positioned around the core and provide the exterior surface of the fender. The discs are formed with an outer layer of elastomeric material selected for wear and non-marking properties. The inner portion of the disc is formed of elastomeric material selected for its cushioning characteristics. In some illustrated embodiments the inner portions of the discs are formed with openings of various shapes selected and arranged to provide the desired cushioning characteristics of the assembled fender. Rods extend through the discs to secure the discs together around the core.
