Patent attributes
A protective device is installed about the outer edge or outer edges of a floor sign. When installed, the main body portion of the protective device is taller than the thickness of the sign such that an item being moved over the sign will ride on the top of the protective device as it passes over the floor sign. The protective device includes a tapered outer edge that helps an item to slide up onto the top surface of the protective device and decrease the impact force of the device when it initially encounter the protective device. The inner edge of the protective device is also tapered down to at least the height of the floor sign. The protective device is made from a hard material that is impact resistant and provides a smooth lower friction upper surface. The protective device can be installed with spaced ends to allow liquid to drain from inside the device.
