Abstract
A repel assembly and method includes an engagement surface having an adhesive plane for securing to an object, a plurality of attachment spikes extending from the engagement surface at an angle transverse to the adhesive plane and a transport surface for supporting a fixture coupled to the plurality of attachment spikes, the fixture being positioned between the engagement surface and the transport surface. The repel assembly further includes an annular ring having an upper and lower ring coupled to the repel assembly, the lower ring having first and second ends spaced by a wiper body such that the annular ring repels debris from contacting and/or collecting on the transport surface.
Claims25
An assembly for repelling or preventing the collection of debris at the base of an object, the assembly comprising:
- a support plate having upper and lower regions, the upper region supporting an engagement surface having an adhesive plane for securing to the object during, use;
- a transport surface positioned within an opening in said lower region of said support plate, the transport surface for making primary contact with the floor for carrying a first portion of a load of the object during use;
- and
- an annular wiper having first and second annular ends to form an annular arm having a uniform thickness along its entire length, the first end being integrally connected to said support plate and the second annular end extending from said first annular end, the annular wiper repelling and preventing debris from contacting and collecting on said transport surface.
A method for repelling or preventing the collection of debris at the base of an object, the method comprising the steps of:
- providing a support plate having upper and lower regions, the upper region supporting an engagement surface having an adhesive plane for securing to the object;
- positioning a transport surface within an opening in said lower region of said support plate, the transport surface for making primary contact with a floor for carrying a first portion of a load of the object during use;
- and
- integrally connecting by molding an annular wiper having first and second annular ends to form an annular arm to said support plate, the annular arm having a uniform thickness along its entire length, the second annular end extending from said first annular end, the annular wiper repelling and preventing debris from contacting and collecting on said transport surface.
An assembly for repelling or preventing the collection of debris at the base of an object, the assembly comprising:
- a contact member having an engagement surface with a securing device for securing to the object during use;
- a support plate having top and bottom surfaces, the top surface supporting the contact member;
- a transport surface positioned within an opening in said bottom surface of said support plate, the transport surface for making primary contact with a floor for carrying a first portion of a load of the object during use;
- and
- an annular wiper having first and second annular ends to form an annular arm having a uniform thickness along its entire length, the first end being integrally connected to said support plate and the second annular end extending from said first annular end, the annular wiper repelling and preventing debris from contacting and collecting on said transport surface, a sealing lip further extending from said second annular end.
