Abstract: An edge protection apparatus wherein the principal improvement lies in the structure used to retain the edge molding within and onto the object whose surface is to be protected such that the retaining grip will be held firmly for an extended period of time and will not become loose over time which is the major problem with prior art embodiments. An edge-trim or molding which is inserted into a slot in the front or edge of an object such as a furniture item (for example a desk), and held therein by a transverse gripping member. The exposed protector member comprises a piece of flexible material, preferably in the cross-sectional form of a semi-circle or arcuate member having a generally flat lower surface and an arcuate upper surface which is exposed and serves to protect the object.

Abstract: A beading profile strip or trim strip comprises an extruded resilient member disposed about a metallic core formed into a U-shaped channel member having one or more sheet engaging structures for gripping the edge of a sheet or blade, such as a car door. The engaging structures comprise a downward angled leg having a foot attached thereto, and a downward angled stop adjacent to and above the leg, for frictional engagement of the sheet. The strip is easy to install, but difficult to remove.
