ABSTRACT:
The present invention relates generally to edge protectors. More particularly, the present invention relates to a temporary protector for an edge of an article and a method of making edge protectors. In a preferred embodiment, the edge protector according to the present invention includes a first part having a scoring line. The scoring line extends from first to second edges of the first part and from a first side surface of the part substantially to a second side surface. A pliable film is applied to the second side surface of the first part for permitting flexing of the first part along the scoring line. A second part includes a recess in a first side surface sized to substantially encase a portion of the first part extending generally perpendicularly from the scoring line. The portion of the first part is secured within the recess in the second part. When it is desired to use the edge protector according to the present invention, the second part is preferably arranged upon a surface of the article to be protected with the portion of the first part not encased within the recess of the second part extending outwardly over the edge of the article to be protected. The extending portion of the first part is bent downwardly about the scoring line with the thin film acting as a hinge such that the extending portion lies substantially flush against a second surface of the article to protect the same.
