Bumper guard

Abstract

A bumper guard for an obstruction such as furniture legs, which is removable, flexible and of resilient construction having a rectangular or quadrilateral pad, with inner and outer layers of fabric and a resilient core in between affixed together and having fastenings on the inner sides of the pad at each end of the pad by which the two ends may be fastened together around an obstruction. A sleeve may be attached to the exterior of the pad to provide a decorative appearance.

1 . A bumper guard for an obstruction, the guard being readily attachable to such an obstruction and removable therefrom, without moving or lifting the obstruction, and comprising: 
 a wrap around pad of a length sufficient to extend around the obstruction and formed of two layers of fabric, the fabric defining two ends of the pad, and outer and inner surfaces;    a resilient core in between the fabric layers, and    releasable fastening adjacent the two ends of the pad, on the inner faces of the fabric layer for releasably fastening the two ends of the pad together around an obstruction whereby to form a generally tubular wrap around pad.    
   
   
       2 . A bumper guard as claimed in  claim 1 , in which said pad consists of front and rear or inner fabric layers of rectangular shape having elongate front upper and front lower edges and rear upper and rear lower edges, the said front and rear edges defining generally transverse length said pad having normally vertical ends and, side edges and a predetermined height.  
   
   
       3 . A bumper guard as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein the resilient core between the layers is made from urethane foam material.  
   
   
       4 . A bumper guard as claimed in  claim 2 , including a fastening flap on one end of said pad, said flap defining inner and outer surfaces, and said releasable fastening on said end of said pad being secured to the outwardly facing surface of said flap whereby to overlap and close the junction between said ends.  
   
   
       5 . A bumper guard as claimed in  claim 4 , in which said fastening means at the other end of said pad are provided on the inwardly directed one of said layers of fabric, and positioned to overly said flap when said pad is wrapped around an obstruction.  
   
   
       6 . A bumper guard as claimed in  claim 1 , in which said pad is a parallelogram shape having upper and lower edges which are generally horizontal and parallel and having ends extending between said upper and lower edges which are inclined at a non-vertical angle, and are parallel to one another.  
   
   
       7 . A bumper guard as claimed in  claim 6 , in which said pad has a resilient core between the layers made from urethane foam material.  
   
   
       8 . A bumper guard as claimed in  claim 6  in which said pad is provided with fastening arranged along axes parallel to said ends on each end of said pad whereby to close the junction between said ends.  
   
   
       9 . The bumper guard as claimed in  claim 1 , including a fabric sleeve adapted to wrap around said pad, and wherein said pad is provided on its outer surface with a sleeve fastening to receive said fabric sleeve.  
   
   
       10 . The bumper guard as claimed in  claim 9 , wherein said fabric sleeve is of rectangular shape and has elongate front upper and front lower edges and normally vertical ends.  
   
   
       11 . The bumper guard as claimed in  claim 9  wherein said sleeve is provided on its inner upper edge with sleeve attachment, to attach to said pad.  
   
   
       12 . The bumper guard as claimed in  claim 9  wherein said sleeve defines upper and lower edges, and including pleats formed therealong, whereby said lower edge is fuller than said upper edge and hangs loosely around said pad.  
   
   
       13 . A bumper guard for an obstruction the guard being readily attachable to such an obstruction and removable therefrom, without moving or lifting the obstruction, and comprising: 
 a wrap around pad of a length sufficient to extend around the obstruction and formed of two layers of fabric, the fabric defining two ends;    a resilient core in between the fabric layers;    releasable fastening adjacent the two ends for releasably fastening the two ends of the pad together around an obstruction whereby to form a generally tubular wrap around pad;    a fabric sleeve dimensioned to wrap loosely around said pad;    sleeve fastening on the outer surface of said pad to receive said fabric sleeve; and,    sleeve attachment on said sleeve to attach to the said pad.    
   
   
       14 . A bumper guard for an obstruction the guard being readily attachable to such an obstruction and removable therefrom, without moving or lifting the obstruction, and comprising: 
 a wrap around pad of a length sufficient to extend around the obstruction and formed of two layers of fabric, the fabric defining two ends, said pad being of quadrilateral shape and defining upper and lower generally horizontal edges and two ends, said ends being parallel to one another and aligned along axes which are non right angular relative to said upper and lower edges;    a resilient core in between the fabric layers;    releasable fastenings adjacent the two ends for releasably fastening the two ends of the pad together around an obstruction whereby to form a generally tubular wrap around pad;    a fabric sleeve dimensioned to wrap loosely around said pad;    sleeve fastening on the outer surface of said pad to receive said fabric sleeve; and,    sleeve attachment on said sleeve to attach to the said pad.
