Abstract
The invention is a cylinder cover engageable with a channel. The cylinder cover includes a flexible blanket with two ends, the ends configured to substantially abut when the blanket is circularly wrapped. Further, the cylinder cover includes a female member attached to the first end of the blanket, the female member having a leg connected with and opposing a resilient engaging element by a base member. The resilient engaging element is configured to frictionally engage a sidewall of the channel. Attached to the second end of the blanket is a substantially rigid male member. When engaged with the channel, the blanket is substantially continually supported by a rigid substrate.
