ABSTRACT:
The exposed edge of a planar surface of an article of furniture, such as a desk or tabletop, is trimmed with an elastomeric edge molding. Two projections or flanges extend longitudinally along the inner surface of the molding. One projection, a centrally located mounting flange, is inserted into a longitudinal groove cut into the furniture top edge. The molding is securely attached to the furniture top by inserting the mounting flange into the longitudinal groove. The other projection, a locator rib, is located near the edge of the molding which must be flush with the furniture top surface, between that edge and the mounting flange. The locator rib is inserted into a longitudinal groove cut into the furniture top edge. Positioning the locator rib near the molding edge reduces the dimensional tolerances which are inherent in extruded elastomeric moldings. A more uniformly flush surface between the furniture top and the molding can thus be obtained upon the insertion of the locator rib into its corresponding groove. The molding may also have a top lip which extends slightly over the plane of the inner surface of the molding. This lip prevents the formation of gaps between the furniture top edge and the molding.
