ABSTRACT:
An elongated, extruded, flexible elastomeric material protective edge member of T-shaped cross-sectional configuration for attachment to a curved edge of an article of furniture having a narrow, elongated groove within that edge and having a barbed flange projecting at right angles from the base at the center thereof is provided with a plurality of longitudinally spaced transverse slots formed within the barbed flange from the edge of the barbed flange remote from the base in the direction of the base to permit inward and outward bending of the trim strip through the plane of the barbed flange. Transverse grooves are provided within the rear surface of the base as extensions to the slots within the barbed flange over the portion of the trim strip to be bent to conform to curved portions of said article of furniture edge during coupling thereto. The transverse grooves extend preferably beyond the opposite sides of the barbed flange. Additionally, a longitudinal groove is provided within said rear surface of the base along the side of the barbed flange, extending parallel thereto and intersecting the transverse grooves to enhance the flexibility of the elastomeric material protective edge member to reduce resistance in bending of the base, to conform the trim strip to inner bends of the curved edge of the article of furniture during attachment of the trim strip to such article.
