Abstract:

A wall protector includes a retainer member adapted to be connected to a wall surface to be protected, a pair of spaced locking portions generally project outwardly from a wall portion of the retainer member. A resilient member configurated to substantially cover the retaining member when mounted thereon is provided which has a pair of spaced engaging portions projecting towards the retainer member and adapted to snappingly engage the locking portions and maintain the retainer and resilient members spaced from each other at a predetermined distance. Application of inward pressures on the resilient member towards the retainer member causes the resilient member to at least partially deform and cause the locking and engaging portions to separate from each other along the direction of the wall portions while still maintaining locking engagement therebetween and the wall protector members.
