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 (15, 35) . Internal channels (16) 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.

Claims

AMENDED CLAIMS[received by the International Bureau on 27 April 2007 (27.04.07) (2 pages)]
1. A corner protector applied to the corner of an article and which includes a pair of side walls (23, 24) connected by a pair of substantially perpendicular bridging walls (31 , 32) and at least one of the side walls contains an aperture (40) which extends through the side wall, characterised in that the aperture (40) receives an adhesive pad (P) which adheres to the article to hold the corner protector in place.
2. A corner protector according to Claim 1 in which the bridging walls have internal faces which are separated by a recess (35).
3. A corner protector according to Claim 1 in which the bridging walls have internal channels (36) which extend from a free end of the bridging wall parallel to the junction between the side walls and the bridging walls.
4. A corner protector according to Claim 1 in which the side walls have edges (27) which extend between the outer ends of the bridging walls and are curved and mutually offset from each other along their full length.
5. A corner protector according to Claim 4 in which the curved edges (27) of the side walls are substantially S-shaped.
6. A corner protector according to Claim 1 in which the aperture (40) includes a finger notch (42).
7. A corner protector according to Claim 1 in which the edges of the side walls which are joined by the bridging walls are each curved at one or both ends (28, 29, 30).
