Door frame guard

A removable and reusable door frame guard for installation over and for providing temporary protection to a door jamb and door trim attached to a wall defining a door opening during construction of the interior of a building comprising:

• a relatively rigid outer shell having an outer surface for deflecting objects impacting said guard and an inner surface;
• a relatively soft shock absorbing inner shell bonded to said inner surface of said outer shell to prevent damage to said door jamb and trim;
• said inner shell overlying a substantial portion of said outer shell;
• said outer and inner shells defining a generally rectangular central section which overlies the door jamb and a pair of resilient generally straight inwardly converging end sections extending from opposite sides of said central section which overlie said door trim;
• said end sections each defining an acute angle with respect to said central section;
• and
• wherein said end sections cooperate with said central section and with each other to provide a self supporting gripping action with said wall or with said door trim.
