  • Patent number: 4988083
    Abstract: A bumper for a transportable object mitigates the shock on a corner of the object during a collision. The bumper has intersecting wall sections which are mounted on a corner of the transportable object, deflectable protrusions between adjacent wall sections and a deflectable protuberance at the apex of the wall sections. The protrusions extend outwardly of the adjacent wall sections and the protuberance extends outwardly of the protrusions. In a collision, the protuberance and the protrusions deflect to decelerate the object.
