Abstract: A corner protector, e.g. for a sheet of glass, has a pair of generally triangular side walls connected by a pair of substantially perpendicular bridging walls. The internal faces of the bridging walls are substantially flat and are separated by a recess. Internal channels are provided along the junction between the side walls and the bridging walls. The margins of the side walls which extend between the outer ends of the bridging walls are curved such that they are mutually offset from each other for most of their length. At least one of the side walls contains a through-aperture for receiving an adhesive pad which adheres to the protected article in use to hold the corner protector in place. A finger notch provides access to an edge of the adhesive pad to facilitate peeling in order to remove the corner protector.

Abstract: A corner protector, e.g. for a sheet of glass, has a pair of generally triangular side walls 23, 24 connected by a pair of substantially perpendicular bridging walls 25 and 26. The internal faces of the bridging walls are substantially flat and are separated by a recess. Internal channels are provided along the junction between the side walls and the bridging walls, which reduces stresses at the junction between the side and edge faces of a protected article during impacts with the corner protector. The margins 27 of the side walls which extend between the outer ends of the bridging walls are curved such that they are mutually offset from each other for most of their length. At least one of the side walls 23, 24 contains a through-aperture 40 for receiving an adhesive pad which adheres to the protected article in use to hold the corner protector in place.

Abstract: Tape, such as masking tape, that is used during the painting of automobiles to mark the boundaries of various areas on the vehicle, is fed from a device that automatically folds the edges of the tape over onto the remaining portion of the tape. The tape thus has areas adjacent to the edges that do not adhere to the substrate and thus permits paint to move under the tape at such defined areas wherein no tape line will be produced during the painting process.
