Abstract:
1. A method of facilitating movement of an object through a space provided between two barriers, said method comprising the steps of: obtaining a portable protective barrier comprising a planar board fabricated of a plastic material having a shape memory, said planar board having a peripheral edge defining two opposite surfaces; obtaining a carrier, said carrier comprising: placing said portable protective barrier into said container interior; bending said portable protective barrier to form an arched segment, wherein the arched segment is retained in position by at least one of a shape and a feature of said carrier body, wherein said arched segment redefines said portable protective barrier as a bent portable protective barrier, wherein said bent portable protective barrier comprises an exterior surface being on a convex arched surface and defining an interior surface being on a concave arched surface; retaining said portable protective barrier within said container interior of said carrier body over a period of time enabling said shape memory to retain said arched section in an arched shape; removing said portable protective barrier from said carrier body; supporting said portable protective barrier by placing a lower edge of said portable protective barrier upon a ground surface; using a resulting shape of said arched section to support said bent portable protective barrier in position by placing a lower edge of said bent portable protective barrier against a floor and said direct engagement between said interior surface and said corner of one of said two barriers to retain said bent portable protective barrier in position; and transporting at least one large object compressing one side of said object against said placed portable protective barrier to facilitate movement of the object through said space.
