ABSTRACT:
The edge protector of the present invention is made of a plurality of sheets of inexpensive cardboard or linerboard cut into sections and laminated in a flat configuration. The laminations include at least one sheet which is continuous and provides a hinge portion, at least one sheet which is flexible and provides a stop--similar to a leaf spring. Protective laminates are disposed between the continuous member and the spring-like member and include a central portion and at least one leg portion. The leg portion can be pivoted about an axis in the continuous member, away from and at an angle to the central portion, thereafter to be held in angular disposition (that could vary in angular disposition restricted only to products' natural restrictions) with regard to the central portion by the spring-like portion. The edge protector of the present invention is particularly suited for protecting the edges of a large range of equipment such as furniture, desk-tops during the shipment or movement of such equipment or furniture. The channel of the present invention, when constructed, is flat, but when "set up", would be primarily an "L"-shape or "U"- shape configuration. But certainly not restricted to these configurations. They could be box-shaped, hexagonal, etc., limited only to a practical application of the spring hinge and hold concept.
