Abstract
An apparatus for providing protection to a curb or a ledge against damage caused by physical contact to the curb or the ledge during performance of a sporting activity is disclosed. The apparatus includes a top component and a side component extending from the top component at an angle within an angle range of 60°-90°, wherein the top component and the side component are formed of steel, wherein the top component and side component are configured to be placed on the curb or the ledge. In some instances, the top component and the side component are integrally formed from a single sheet of 14 gauge cold-rolled steel, and wherein a bend is formed in the single sheet of steel to form the angle between the top component and side component. In some instances, the angle is 75° or 90°.
Claims20
An apparatus for providing protection to a curb or a ledge against damage caused by physical contact to the curb or the ledge, the apparatus comprising:
- a top component;
- a first groove plate formed of a first front flat portion, a first front angled portion, a first rear angled portion, a first rear flat portion, and a first center portion between the first front angled portion and the first rear angled portion, wherein the first front flat portion and the first rear flat portion of the first groove plate are attached to an underside of the top component forming a first groove;
- a side component extending from the top component at an angle within an angle range of 60°-90°, wherein the top component and the side component are formed of steel, wherein the top component and side component are configured to be placed on curb or ledge;
- and
- a second groove plate formed of a second front flat portion, a second front angled portion, a second rear angled portion, a second rear flat portion, and a second center portion between the second front angled portion and the second rear angled portion, wherein the second front flat portion and the second rear flat portion of the second groove plate are attached to an underside of the side component forming a second groove, and wherein the first groove plate and the second groove plate are attached at a first end of the apparatus.
A modular system for providing protection to a curb or a ledge against damage caused by physical contact to the curb or the ledge, the apparatus comprising:
- a receiver component including:
- a first top component, and
- a first groove plate formed of a first front flat portion, a first front angled portion, a first rear angled portion, a first rear flat portion, and a first center portion between the first front angled portion and the first rear angled portion, wherein the first front flat portion and the first rear flat portion of the first groove plate are attached to the underside of the first top component forming a first groove at a first end of the receiver component, and
- a first side component extending from the first top component at an angle within an angle range of 60°-90°, wherein the first top component and the first side component are formed of steel, wherein the first top component and the first side component are configured to be placed on the curb or the ledge, wherein a second groove plate is attached to the underside of the first side component forming a second groove at the first end of the receiver component;
- and
- a universal component including:
- a second top component, and
- a second side component extending from the second top component at an angle within an angle range of 60°-90°, wherein the second top component and the second side component are formed of steel, wherein the second top component and the second side component are configured to be placed on the curb or the ledge,
- wherein a first tongue extends from either the second top component or the second side component at a first end of the universal component, and wherein the first tongue is configured to be received by the first groove thereby coupling the universal component with the receiver component.
