Abstract:
A marine fender for securely affixing to an object such as a dock, piling, seawall, and the like is formed by extrusion of a resilient material. It is provided with unique energy absorbing properties. The fender has a uniform cross section with an outer arcuate wall, and an inner arcuate wall. Strips connect the two walls to transmit forces from items impinging on the outer wall to the smaller arch of the inner wall. A planar panel connects the two walls and transmits any remaining forces to the object on which the fender is mounted. Flanges coextensive with the outer wall enable the fender to be securely affixed to the object.
