Patent Images
1. A jamb protection device, comprising:
- a. a first compression surface;
b. a second compression surface opposing said first compression surface, wherein said first compression surface and said second compression surface are a distance apart;
c. a compression force generator coupled to said first compression surface and said second compression surface; and
d. a cylindroid force dissemination surface responsive to said first compression surface and said second compression surface.

16. A method of protecting a jamb, comprising the steps of:
-
a. providing a wall having a first wall surface substantially parallel with a second wall surface, wherein said wall terminates in a jamb;
b. separating a first compression surface and a second compression surface a distance greater than the distance between said first wall surface and said second wall surface;
c. positioning a first compression surface against said first wall surface;
d. positioning a second compression surface against said second wall surface;
e. positioning a force dissemination surface to cover a portion of said jamb, whereby said force dissemination surface and said jamb define a crumple zone; and
f. generating a compression force on said first compression surface and said second compression surface. - View Dependent Claims (17, 18, 19, 20, 21)
