ABSTRACT:
The present invention concerns a method of protecting the finished surfaces of a sanitary fixture against damage during installation and construction at an installation site. In general, the method involves installing a removable protective covering over substantially all the finished surfaces of a sanitary fixture, prior to delivering the sanitary fixture to the installation site. Thereafter, the sanitary fixture and the installed protective covering, as a single unit, are delivered to the installation site. After, completion of installation and construction, and removal of the protective covering from the finished surfaces of the sanitary fixture, the finished surfaces thereof are free from damage.
Another aspect of the present invention is to provide a protective covering having a geometry which generally conforms to the geometry of the finished surface of the sanitary fixture and has a construction sufficient to provide cushioning against and absorb impact of objects coming into immediate contact with any portion of the finished surface. In general, the surface protector comprises a first protector portion and a second protector portion, each of which is formed from a plurality of planar portions which serve to protect designated portions of a sanitary fixture, but which when assembled together, provide complete protection to all the surfaces of the sanitary fixture. A further aspect of the present invention is to provide a method of manufacturing a reversible surface protector assembly of the present invention using computeraided design and control techniques.
