Abstract:
A protective cover for a carpenter's plane, the cover comprising:a base plate having an upper surface and a width which is substantially similar to a width of the carpenter's plane; andopposing side walls having a lower portion attached to opposing edges of said base plate and which extend away from said opposing edges of said base plate to an upper portion of said side walls, said side walls tapering inwardly, toward each other, as they extend away from said base plate;said cover being constructed and arranged such that when said cover is in an installed position on the plane, the upper portions of the side walls are flexed outwardly by the plane, resulting in an inward force being applied to the plane by the upper portions of the side walls, said inward force thereby holding said cover in place on the plane; andwherein, when said cover is in the installed position on the plane, the base plate is operative for covering a cutting iron of the plane.
