Abstract:
A resilient buffer formed from strip-like material comprising hollow elongate first and second sections which extend transverse to each other, the first section having spaced apart limbs, and the second section also having spaced apart limbs, the spaced apart limbs of the first section being joined at one pair of adjacent ends, the spaced apart limbs of the second section also being joined at one pair of adjacent ends, the spaced apart limbs of the first section being joined to the respective spaced apart limbs of the second section to form a closed loop open at the sides thereof so as to enable a force applied to the resilient buffer to cause relative flexing from the transverse alignment between the first and second sections to take place for shock absorption and to allow return to the transverse alignment after the force is removed.
