ABSTRACT:
An edge protector for protecting goods having at least one edge against damage of the edge by a strap wrapping the goods comprises a force-distributing member for distributing a force applied by a wrapping strap to goods wrapped by the strap in such a manner as to protect the edge from damage by the strap. A spring clip connected to the force-distributing member and engageable with the strap secures the edge protector to the strap. The clip comprises a proximal portion attached to the force-distributing member and a distal portion spaced apart from the proximal portion and adjacent to but detached from the distal portion. The clip is formed with a cam that is contoured so that the strap can be pressed against the cam to elevate the distal portion of the clip relative to the force-distributing member and slid between the clip and the force-distributing member, thereby securing the strap and the edge protector together and militating against their inadvertent separation even upon removal of the strap from the goods.
