ABSTRACT:
The disclosed invention is an elastomeric compression member having particular utility as a marine fender. It is comprised of two elastomeric offset legs joined at the knee and extending therefrom in opposite directions. When compressive forces are applied to the feet of the member, the member initially compresses by roll compression, where the two legs roll around the knee to provide the member with an overall cylindrical configuration. After roll compression is complete, snub compression, compression of the resulting cylinder occurs.
