  • Patent number: 5157886
    Abstract: An extruded, thermoplastic baseboard elastomeric molding strip having opposed generally flat front and rear surfaces is provided with a plurality of closely vertically, spaced horizontal, parallel ribs projecting outwardly of the flat front surface over the full surface area thereof. The strip is formed of front and rear surface layers of thermoplastic material of the same durometer hardness with the front surface layer forming at least the tips of the front surface ribs being of a low density thermoplastic material and the balance of the strip being of high density thermoplastic material. The front and rear surface layers may be of contrasting colors. The rear surface of the strip is preferably formed with concave grooves separated by a multiplicity of fine, vertically spaced horizontal, parallel rearwardly projecting ribs with a rear, center rib between adjacent fine ribs, of a larger diameter than adjacent fine ribs separating the rear surface grooves.

  • Patent number: 4971849
    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.
