Convertible marine fender

A convertible fender comprising, in combination:

• a resilient, elongate first body having a length, a width and a thickness, the length of the first body being greater than the width of the first body and greater than the thickness of the first body;
• a resilient, elongate second body having a length, a width and a thickness, the length of the second body being greater than the width of the second body and greater than the thickness of the second body;
• a hinge connecting the first and second bodies such that said first body is pivotable lengthwise relative to said second body;
• and
• wherein the first body has a generally planar first inner surface and the second body has a generally planar second inner surface, and said first body is pivotable about said hinge between a first position wherein the first inner surface is facing and engaging the second inner surface so that the first and second bodies cooperate to form a cylindrical-shape and a second position wherein the first inner surface is facing in the same direction as the second inner surface and generally coplanar with the second inner surface so that the first and second bodies form a half-cylinder-shape.

A convertible fender comprising, in combination:

• a resilient first body which is generally half-cylinder shaped having a generally planer first inner surface;
• a resilient second body which is generally half-cylinder shaped having a generally planar second inner surface;
• and
• a hinge connecting the first and second bodies such that said first body is pivotable between a first position wherein the first inner surface is facing and engaging the second inner surface so that the first and second bodies cooperate to form a cylindrical-shape and a second position wherein the first inner surface is facing in the same direction as the second inner surface and generally coplanar with the second inner surface so that the first and second bodies form a half-cylinder-shape.

A convertible fender comprising, in combination:

• a resilient first body having a generally planer first inner surface with a first channel formed therein;
• a resilient second body having a generally planar second inner surface with a second channel formed therein;
• a hinge connecting the first and second bodies such that said first body is pivotable between a first position wherein the first inner surface is facing the second inner surface and the first channel is facing the second channel and a second position wherein the first inner surface is facing in the same direction as the second inner surface and the first channel is facing in the same direction as the second channel;
• and
• wherein the first channel and the second channel are substantially coaxial when the first and second bodies are in the second position.

A convertible fender comprising, in combination:

• a resilient first body having a generally planer first inner surface with a first channel formed therein;
• a resilient second body having a generally planar second inner surface with a second channel formed therein;
• a hinge connecting the first and second bodies such that said first body is pivotable between a first position wherein the first inner surface is facing the second inner surface and the first channel is facing the second channel and a second position wherein the first inner surface is facing in the same direction as the second inner surface and the first channel is facing in the same direction as the second channel;
• and
• wherein the first and second bodies are each generally half-cylinder-shaped and cooperate to form a cylinder in the first position and a half cylinder in the second position.
