International ClassA47B 096/06AbstractThe subject apparatus is used to reduce the effective width of a slot. The apparatus is a liner installable in the slot and retained in the slot by engagement of projections from the exterior surfaces of the liner with holes in the slot surfaces. The liner is resilient. Its sides are flared and then flexed flat upon installation in the slot. The restoring force caused by the flexing helps hold the projections in the holes and the edges of the liner against the sides of the slot. | |
