Claims7
A jamb protection device, comprising:
- a. a resiliently flexible arcuate body having a first edge and a second edge which terminate substantially parallel to each other at a distance apart, wherein said resiliently flexible arcuate body has a single continuous substantially non-compressible arcuate surface;
- b. a first gripper element connected to substantially the entire length of said first edge;
- and
- c. a second gripper element connected to substantially the entire length of said second edge, whereby flexure of said resiliently flexible arcuate body allows substantially stationary engagement of said first gripper element and said second gripper element to a first wall surface and a second wall surface, and whereby said single continuous substantially non-compressible arcuate surface deforms to disseminate impact forces received to protect said jamb.
