ABSTRACT:
A universal edge guard comprises a generally U-shaped metal channel having inner and outer legs with the cross section of the channel being formed into a generally semi-circular base with beads at the ends of the inner and outer legs being inwardly offset. A pattern of notches is formed in the inner leg with the notches extending from the bead along the inner leg and into the semi-circular base terminating just slightly beyond the mid-point of the base. The pattern of notches has uniformly sized notches with the notches being equally spaced apart. The preferred pattern has the notches at about one-half inch spacing and the notches about three-sixteenths inch in width. The construction allows the edge guard to be contoured to the contour of an edge without the use of additional manufacturing procedures to conform the edge guard to the desired cross section. The edge guard may also be readily cut to length by severing at one of the notches. The preferred embodiment incorporates a vinyl insulating liner lining the interior of the channel and extending around the outside of the beads.
