ABSTRACT:
A flexible protective device formed with a base member of bendable material has a resilient pad on one surface, a plastic cushion on the opposite surface, and a plurality of projections from the base member. The base member of one embodiment is provided with a pivot hinge to allow adaptability to any angular configuration. Another embodiment uses a bendable spine with extensions therefrom. Further modifications include the use of hook and loop type affixing pads for mounting of the protective device on appropriate supporting frame structure of the device being protected. Further embodiments using double-faced adhesive pads and/or permanent magnets are included. In some instances, the coating on the base member projections may be omitted, and in other embodiments, the projections themselves may be omitted. The method of making and using the protective device are also part of the invention. A method of making protective pads wherein same are dipped in liquid latex prior to affixation of the cushioning pads, or, alternatively, after affixation of such pads, is disclosed. Also, mounting of the tarpaulin or dust shroud prior to installation of the respective protective pads at the points of stress is part of this invention. The forming of a plurality of interconnected protective pads, and forming same in desired configurations and shapes to follow the contour of the support body, is also included.
