Abstract:
A bumper device mounted to a wall to absorb repeated shocks from a moving object colliding against the wall comprising at least one body of resilient material, said body of resilient material having a front side and a rear side, and a closed and flat front element having sides, said front element adjacent to the front side of said body of resilient material, and a base plate, said base plate having a periphery with at least two side edges distributed around the periphery wherein said side edges of said base plate enclose said sides of said front element in a close-fitting manner, and said front element composed of a material with a coefficient of friction when contacting the moving object less than that of metal contacting metal to reduce the force generated on the device when the moving object is contacting said front element and moving in a direction substantially parallel to the wall.
