Abstract

The invention provides for a wear resistant panel of a resiliently deformable material such as polyurethane having protrusions in the vicinity of the peripheral region of the panel by means of which the panel can be removably secured to a support structure, the panel being provided with at least one recess in the peripheral region of the panel into which recess a release tool can be forced to facilitate the removal of the panel from the support structure.

Claims

1. A wear resistant panel having a nonworking rear surface, protrusions of a resiliently deformable material located in the vicinity of a peripheral region of the panel by means of which the panel can be removably secured to a support structure, said panel defining a first recess in the peripheral region thereof into which recess a release tool can be forced to exert pressure to facilitate the removal of the panel from the support structure and said panel further defining a second recess on the rear, nonworking panel surface immediately below said first recess.

2. A wear resistant panel as claimed in claim 1, in which the second recess is provided underneath a corner of the panel.
