ABSTRACT:
An edge guard of the type comprising a metal strip formed into a generally U-shaped transverse cross section having inner and outer legs with beads at the distal ends of the legs via which the edge guard is self-retained on the edge of an object when installed thereon. The cross section has a generally semi-circular contoured base which joins with the two legs. One leg includes an inward offset so that its bead is disposed in inwardly offset relation to the corresponding end of the base. The other leg comprises a straight segment extending straight from the other end of the base to the corresponding bead. The base comprises segments having different radii of curvature. In the free condition of the edge guard, the inner faces of the beads, which bear against opposite sides of an edge when the edge guard is installed thereon, are disposed in non-parallel relation. When the edge guard is installed the flexing of the channel allows the beads to assume a more parallel disposition to engage the opposite sides of the edge.
