Abstract:
The present invention provides a device for protecting a fixture during treatment of the surface on which the fixture is mounted. The fixture itself includes internal elements mounted behind the surface and at least one surface element which is exposed at the surface. The fixture also would normally include a fixture cover mounted on the fixture to cover the internal elements of the fixture and to cover a portion of the surface around the periphery of the fixture, while permitting the surface elements of the fixture to be exposed. In order to protect such a fixture, a protective cover is provided for temporarily replacing the fixture cover during the treatment of the surface. The protective cover includes a portion to cover the internal elements of the fixture to protect them from the surface treatment and a portion to cover the surface elements of the fixture to also protect them from the surface treatment. In addition, an arrangement is provided for securing the protective cover to a predetermined element of the fixture by frictionally fitting said cover to said element. As a preferred embodiment of this, the arrangement for securing the protective cover includes an arrangement for frictionally fitting the cover to one of the surface elements.
