<p>The edging strip is a development of the invention described in UK - PS 2250192, which provides a method of securing an edge of floorcovering to a floor surface. The method is characterised by using an edging strip comprising separate housing and insert strips, which are interfitted via co-operating locking means. The edging strips described are relatively deep and may need to be fitted into channels formed in the floor. The present invention provides an edging strip of relatively shallow construction, which is characterised by the interlocking means comprising a housing strip (2) which is 'U' shaped, one sidewall (17) of which is higher than the other sidewall (18) by an amount substantially equal to or greater than the thickness of the floorcovering, and an insert strip (3) which is 'L' shaped, the horizontal limb (19) being adapted to fit within the housing strip groove (20) with its upper surface level with or higher than the housing sidewall (18) with its vertical limb (22) adjacent the housing sidewall (17) and of equal height. Co-operating projections (24) and mating recesses (25) are provided in said insert and housing strips which lie in the horizontal plane. Preferably, the housing sidewall (17) is inclined so as to flex and thereby facilitate fixing the insert strip by pressing down along its length to snap fit into the housing strip (2).</p> |
