Abstract: A device is provided for protecting children from injury due to impacts with hard edges and corners of tables and other furniture. The Air-guard Corner and Edge Protector has a dual deceleration system, and is a one-piece, pneumatic, shock-absorbing elastomer table corner and edge guard with multiple air chambers separated by elastomer partitions. It has bleed holes in the bottom of each chamber for further shock absorption through pneumatically controlled collapsibility. In its pre-impact state, the chambers are filled with air. As the head of the child begins to load the device, two energy absorption mechanisms are in effect. The first is the compression of the elastomeric material in the outer wall of the device and the partitions. Second, the outer wall is displaced into the chamber. Air is forced from the bleed hole as the chamber collapses, with the bleed hole being sized such that an appropriate rate of collapse is achieved.
