Abstract
Disclosed is an improved double-width base pad comprising two separate single-width base pad members joined along abutting lateral edges so as to form a desired double-width base pad. Preferably, the individual single-width base pad members comprise pliable outer covers or skins having generally flexible inner cores inserted therein. Rigid elongate bars are positioned inside each pliable skin, along one lateral edge thereof. Attachment means such as bolts are passed through the elongate bars and through the lateral edges of the individual base pad skins so as to join the individual bar pad members in an edge-to-edge fashion. The disposition of the elongate bars within the pliable skins serves to distribute joinder stresses along the abutting lateral edges of the skins, thereby avoiding tearing thereof. Rigid attachment bars on the exterior of the individual skins may be alternately or additionally employed.
