Definitions
- This invention relates to a corner protector which is principally intended for protecting the corners of sheets of glass during handling and transportation.
- the device can also be used to protect other easily damaged corners, e.g. of metal sheets, furniture, pictures, marble, masonry, etc.
- the corner protector also reduces the risk of injuries caused by accidental contact with such corners.
- the corner protector may also reduce the risk of damage to the regions between the protected corners.
- Sheets of glass are frequently broken during transportation and handling. It has been observed that the weakest part of a sheet of glass is located very close to its corners, and more particularly at the junction between two substantially flat faces. Approximately 75% of all breakages during handling are caused by direct contact between a corner and another hard object. Such contact may cause the whole sheet to shatter, resulting in a risk of serious injury to the handlers.
- a prior art corner protector according to the preamble of appended claim 1, is disclosed in WO 03/074 387 .
- the present invention seeks to provide a new and inventive form of corner protector which substantially reduces the risk of damage to a protected object, and is easy to apply and remove yet remains in place for as long as required.
- the present invention proposes a corner protector as set forth in Claim 1.
- the internal faces of the bridging walls are preferably substantially flat and are preferably separated by a recess. Such a recess significantly reduces the risk that any impacts received by the corner protector will be transmitted to the junction between perpendicular edge faces of a protected article.
- Internal channels are preferably 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.
- margins of the side walls which extend between the outer ends of the bridging walls are mutually offset from each other for most of their length and are preferably curved. This reduces the risk that the corner of an article enclosed within the corner protector will break off when the corner protector is subjected to lateral impacts.
- the aperture preferably has a finger notch providing access to an edge of the adhesive pad to facilitate peeling the pad off the protected article in order to remove the corner protector.
- edges of the side walls which are joined by the bridging walls are preferably curved at one or both ends.
- the corner protector which is shown by way of example in Fig. 1 is intended to protect the corner of a sheet of glass or similar material.
- the corner protector comprises an injection moulded plastic component 21 having two substantially parallel side walls 23 and 24 connected by a pair of mutually perpendicular bridging walls 31 and 32.
- the side walls 23 and 24 are both of generally triangular shape, having a pair of mutually perpendicular edges 25 and 26 joined by a third edge 27 which is formed with a concave portion 27.1 and a convex portion 27.2.
- the concave and convex portions are transposed on the opposing side wall so that a concave portions 27.1 both lie opposite a convex portion 27.2.
- the junction between the perpendicular edges 25 and 26 is curved at 28, and the opposite end of each perpendicular edge is curved at 29 and 30 to meet the edge 27.
- one or both of the perpendicular edges 25 and 26 may, instead, form an angular transition with the edge 27.
- the two side walls 23 and 24 are both formed with aligned through-apertures 40.
- the apertures are substantially T-shaped with a rectangular main part 41 and a smaller finger notch 42.
- the main part 41 is shaped to receive an adhesively-coated pad of cork or other soft resilient material, which may have a protective peel-off sheet applied to the adhesive layer prior to use.
- the bridging walls 31 and 32 extend between the perpendicular edges 25 and 26 of the side walls 23 and 24.
- the internal faces 33 and 34 of the two bridging walls are substantially planar and mutually perpendicular, and are formed with an internal recess 35 where the two walls meet.
- Internal channels 36 extend along the junction between the side walls 23 and 24 and the bridging walls 31 and 32, as shown in Fig. 3 .
- the external faces of the bridging walls 31 and 32 may be provided with shallow flat-bottomed recesses 38, indicated in Fig. 1 , which extend transversely across the respective bridging walls. These recesses are provided to locate strapping bands which are often placed around sheets of glass in transit.
- one of the corner protectors is applied to each of its four corners. After sliding the corner protector onto the glass until the internal faces 33 and 34 make contact with the adjacent straight edges of the glass sheet an adhesive pad P is inserted through one or both of the apertures 40 (see Fig. 2 ) and stuck to the glass to hold the corner protector in position.
- the corner protectors reduce risk of injury and protect the corners of the sheet.
- the recess 35 ensures that there is no contact with the corner region of the sheet while the channels 36 ensure reduced contact along the sheet edges. Any shocks to the corner protector are therefore distributed across the faces of the glass sheet away from its vulnerable edges.
- the corner protectors can easily be removed by peeling the adhesive pads away from the sheet, using the notches 42 for finger access to the edge of the pads.
- corner protectors described herein can be manufactured in various widths in order to protect sheets of various thickness.
