Abstract
A cushioning and protection apparatus for a chair armrest includes a cushion body having a central cavity and an opening leading thereto. The opening is defined by a pair of jaw projections that are resiliently deformable to enlarge the opening to enable an armrest to be inserted into the central cavity. An attachment device secures the cushioning and protection device to the armrest. The device can easily be installed on and removed from a chair armrest with little effort. The cushioning apparatus is lightweight, easily transportable, and particularly suitable for use in outdoor seating environments.
