FOOT BUMPER #6-32

Bumpers are commonly used in the design of foodservice equipment. A bumper is a mechanical device used to absorb or soften an impact, or protect against collision. Bumpers are often made of rubber or a soft plastic and can be found in or used with ice bins, sliding refrigerator, freezer, and merchandiser doors, ice cream cabinets, holding and serving cabinets and carts, and more.

As opposed to a caster, which rolls and may have a locking mechanism, a foot is a stationary weight-bearing implement at the base of a piece of restaurant equipment. It may be made of metal, plastic, or rubber and usually screws into the frame or base of the machine. A Foot Pedal refers to a foot controlled actuator or valve such as that used to turn on a machine or a faucet.

(Note: "foot" may also refer to a unit of measurement of length, width, and depth covering a distance equal to 12 inches.)
