ABSTRACT:
Furniture, or bed support and caster protector device, consisting of a sleeve or cylindrical body constructed of a generally resilient material having a hollow center and adapted to circumvallate the bed support and the supporting caster thereof, a radially disposed cut in the sleeve extending along at least one radius thereof to provide accessing of the sleeve around the bed support and caster, and also to facilitate its removal therefrom, and the sleeve having a longitudinal dimension being slightly grater in distance than an overall distance between a bed rail, disposed at an upper extremity of the bed support, and a support plane or floor for support of the caster, to effect a slight compression of the sleeve due to its resilient characterization and tending to retain the sleeve in locus between the bed rail and the support plane or floor; the sleeve has a lower section with a larger diameter at the lower section and has an upper section with a smaller diameter to provide more distribution of the slight compression within the upper section than in the lower section. This relates more particularly to a quickly applied cushioning cover for bed supports, and casters, to prevent accidental injury to the feet, ankles and shins of the person coming into accidental contact with the bed. The material of the sleeve is of a sponge material, an elastomeric material, an expanded polyurethane material, a foam material, a resinous material, or an open cell material that is removably available for washing and sanitizing the device.
