Abstract:
A shield apparatus to cover and protect the exposed rear roller on exercise treadmills is provided. The shield takes the form of a “C”-shaped guard that encompasses the rear roller across its entire width. The invention fastens to the main side rails of the treadmill by the use of a fastener such as self-tapping sheet metal screws. The guard is provided in two pieces and uses a slip arrangement to accommodate treadmills of differing width.
