ABSTRACT:
An edge protection apparatus wherein the principal improvement lies in the structure used to retain the edge molding within and onto the object whose surface is to be protected such that the retaining grip will be held firmly for an extended period of time and will not become loose over time which is the major problem with prior art embodiments. An edge-trim or molding which is inserted into a slot in the front or edge of an object such as a furniture item (for example a desk), and held therein by a transverse gripping member. The exposed protector member comprises a piece of flexible material, preferably in the cross-sectional form of a semi-circle or arcuate member having a generally flat lower surface and an arcuate upper surface which is exposed and serves to protect the object. Connected to the exposed protector member is a transverse gripping member which can be designed in any multiplicity of configurations but which has as its central component the concept of a metal member embedded in and extending away from the protector member to thereby form a generally "T" shaped configuration and further comprises at least one tooth member extending back toward the protector member, which tooth member becomes embedded within the material of the object to be protected such that any attempt to pull the gripping member out will be resisted with considerable force since the tooth is embedded in a direction opposite to the direction of removal.
