Abstract: A bumper strip is employed for obturating an opening. A plurality of such bumper strips may be suspended in depending overlapping relationship in an opening to close the same. Alternatively, the closure may be provided by mounting a plurality of such closure strips on a hinged door arrangement. The bumper strips protect the opening and are preferably transparent. The transparency is protected by having ribs arranged to receive the impact of objects passing through the opening whereby the faces of the strips are protected from abrasion. The strips may be suspended in depending relationship by angles provided with studs which pass through the strips and which receive retaining devices clamping the strips thereon. The studs may be supported on a slidable strip which is accommodated in a track.
