Patent ID: 11470979

Abstract:
A bumper designed to block a gap in between a bed and the floor, preventing household items, pets, and children from going into the space underneath beds, and, thus, eliminating messes, damage, injury, or loss. The bumper may be made of corrugated paper, heavy paperboard, or cardboard. The bumper may comprise a flat, rectangular body segmented into flat, rectangular sections using parallel folds, where the sections are configured to secure the bumper in between the bed and the floor. The bumper is setback from the bedframe perimeter to not be obtrusive, strong enough to resist inward pressure, and, in some embodiments, may contain markings to indicate triangular truncations. A plurality of bumpers may, through a series of truncations, be customized to fully block access to the space underneath the bed for variety of bed lengths, widths, and heights.
