1966-0~112 PROTECTIVE ED~:ING 8~rRIP AND METHOD OF P~PPLYING ~E 8AME
B ckaround and ~ummary of . he Irlvention The present invention relates to protective edgings and, more particularly, to elastomeric edge strips including adhesive and hinge mechanisms and a method of applying the same.
Strips of molding or edging are applied to the lips of vehicle doors, helmets, or any type of element having a lip or marginal edge for ornamental and protective purposes.
Typically, moldings are made out of metal or resilient polymeric materials which are "U" shaped in cross-section and which rely on their resiliency of the molding strip to grip the opposed surfaces at the lip of the element. Generally, a sealing material is added to the trim to secure it onto the element. These processes are burdensome and generally require extensive labor.
It is desirable to provide an edging strip which may be easily applied and secured to an element. It is desirable to have an edging strip that inclu~es an adhesive which has been previously applied to the edging strip and is easily secured in position onto the edge. Also, it would be desirable to have an edging strip which enables positioning and shifting of the edging strip onto the edge prior to the final securement of the edge.

Det~iled Description of the Pre~erred ~mbo~iment Turning to the figures, an edging strip is illustrated and designated with the reference numeral 10. The edging strip 10 is generally formed from an elastomeric material, such as EPDM rubber and is generally extruded in an extrusion process.
The edging strip 10 generally has an overall "U" shape in cross-section. The "U" includes legs 12 and 14 j oined by web 16. The legs 12 and 14 and web 16 define a channel 18 with their interior surfaces, as seen in Figure 2.
The leg 12 has a thickness less than the leg 14. An adhesive member 20 is bonded onto the interior surface 22 of the leg 12. The adhesive member 20 runs the length of the strip 10. The thickness of the leg }2 with the adhesive member 20 is substantially equal to the leg 14. The leg 12 has a tapered free extending end 24. The tapered end 24 extends over substantially half way of the width of the channel 18, as seen in Figure 2. The tapered lip 24 enhances the sealing and aesthetic appearance of the edging strip 10 when applied to an edge surface.
The web 16 is generally thicker than the legs 12 and 14 and includes a live hinge 30. The hinge 30 enables the leg 12 to be moved away ~rom the leg 14 to a position wherein the legs 12 and 14 are substantially transverse, as seen in Figure 3. In this position, the adhesive member 20 may be easily applied onto the edging strip 10. Also, the hinge 30 enables the leg 12 to be moved away from the web 16 and leg 14 to ~7~
enable opening of the channel 18 for positioning of the edging strip 10.
The adhesive member 20 is generally a heat-bonded foam tape with a carrier release layer 32 on its surface positioned into the channel 18. The adhesive tape 20 is positioned onto the leg 12 when the hinge is flexed in an open position with the legs 12 and 14 substantially transverse. The release layer 32 is preferably of a polyester material covering the adhesive foam tape. The adhesive foam tape is cut a~ a desired width to be positioned onto the leg 12 of the strip 10, as seen in Figure 3. Also, the release layer 32 includes a wrap-around heat bonded or pressure sensitive tab affixed to one end of the adhesive tape polyester release liner.
When the edging strip 10 is to be positioned onto an edge or flange, it is generally applied as follows. An element such as a helmet 40 is provided having an edge 42 to receive the edging strip 10, as seen in Figure l. The edging strip lO is generally aligned with the edge 42 of the helmet about the periphery of the edge to be provided with the edging strip 10. The strip 10 is cut or sized to fit the edge 42 of the helmet 40. The strip 10 is then placed onto the lip or edge 42 of the helmet 40. The ~trip 10 may be moved or shifted along its longitudinal axis to ensure proper positioning of the strip 10 along the helmet edge 42. Once the strip lQ is in proper position along the helmet edge 42, with the release layer 32 against the exterior side surface 44 of the edge 42 and the interior surface lS of the leg 14 adjacent the interior side surface 46 of the edge 42, the release layer is removed from the adhesive member 20~
As the release layer 32 is removed from the strip 10, the hinge 3~ enables the leg 12 to extend or deflect away from the edge 42 a distance far enough away to enable the release layer 32 to be removed from the adhesive member 20, as seen in phantom in Figure 4. After the release layer 32 is removed from the adhesive member 20, the leg 12 resiliently springs back towards the edge 42 of the helmet 40 contacting the adhesive member 20 with the side surface 44 of the edge 42.
force is then applied on the exterior surface of the leg 12 by a roller or the like to adhesively secure the adhesive member 20 with the side surface 44 of the edge 42, as seen in Figure 4. Thus, the adhesive member 20 bonds with the lip side surface 44 securing the strip 10 onto the edge 42 of the helmet 40 coveri~g the helmet edge 42.
Alternatively, the edging strip 10 may be applied to a helmet as follows. The strip 10 is cut or sized to fit the edge 42 of the helmet 40. The release layer 32 is removed from the adhesive member 20. The adhesive member 20 is then applied to the exterior side surface 44~ of the edge 42. The leg 14 is positioned away from the leg 12 via hinge 30 as the adhesive member 20 is applied onto the exterior surface 44.
Once the adhesive member 20 is positioned on the exterior side 44 of the edge 42, a force is applied onto the exterior surface of leg 12 by a roller or the like to adhesively secure the adhesive member 20 with the side sur~ace 44 of the edge 42. The adhesive member 20 bonds on the outside surface 44 ~ ~37 ~ b securing the strip 10 onto the edge 42 of the helmet 40. The leg 14 is then manipulated via flange 30 surh that the interior surface 15 of the leg 14 is adjacent the interior side surface 46 of the edge 42. After the leg 14 has been bent around the edge 42 it is maintained in position like that illustrated in Figures 1 and 4.
Moving to Figure 5, a second embodiment of the invention is shown. The edging strip 100 of Figure 5 has an overall "L" shape in cross-section. The "L" includes legs 112 and 114 defining a channel. Leg 112 is substantially the same as leg 12 previously described. Leg 112 includes an adhesive member 116 bonded onto its interior surface and has a tapered free end 120 like end 24 previously described.
Leg 114 is substantially similar to web 16 including a live hinge 122. The live hinge functions substantially the same as described above. Also, during positioning onto an edge 124, the method is conducted as described above in the alternate embodiment except that leg 14 is not included and would not be positioned on the interior surface of the edge 124.
Moviny to Figure 6, another embodiment of the invention is shown. The edging strip 200 of Figure 6 has an overall "U"
shape in cross-section. The "U" includes legs 212 and 214 joined by web 216. The legs 212 and 214 and web 216 define a channel 218 with their interior surfaces, as seen in Figure 6.
Also, a tail 219 may e~tend at the junction of the leg 214 and web 216.
~37~'~9 The legs 212 and 214 are substantially identical and are substantially the same as leg 12 previously described.
Legs 212 and 214 include adhesive members 220 and 222 bonded onto their interior surfaces as well as having tapered free ends 224 and 2Z6 like end 24 previously described. The adhesive members 220 and 222 are substantially the same as adhesive member 20 previously described.
The web 216 includes a pair of live hinges 230 and 232 like live hinge 30 previously discussed. ~he live hinges 230 and 232 function substantially the same as described above enabling legs 212 and 214 to be moved away from the web 216.
The two hinges 230 and 232 enable legs 212 and 214 to be positioned substantially coplanar with one another when both legs are moved away from one another. The two hinges 230 and 232 would also enable an adhesive member to be positioned onto the web and secured to the end of the tape.
The methods for positioning the edging strip 200 onto an edge 240 are substantially similar to those previously described. ExcPpt, during the application, when the second leg 214 is positioned onto the interior of the edge 240, the method for applying the adhesive member 222 would be utilized like that described above for leg 12 and adhesive member 20.
That is in the first method, after the leg 212 has been adhered to the lip 240 and a force applied to the leg 212 by a roller or the like, the second release layer would be removed from the second adhesive member 222 to be adhesively contacted with the surface of the edge 240. Likewise, a force would ~76~
then be applied to the leg 214 to adhesively secure adhesive member 222 with the edge 240, as seen in Figure 6.
In the alternate method, after the leg 212 is adhesively secured to the edge 240, the release layer would be removed from the leg 214 and then the adhesive layer 222 applied to the other surface of the edge 240. A force would then be applied onto the leg 214 to secure the leg 214 onto the edge 240, as seen in Figure 6.
While the above detailed description provides a preferred embodiment of the present invention, it will be understood that the present invention is susceptible to modification, alteration and change without deviating from the scope and fair meaning of the subjoined claims.
