End cap for door edge guard

摘要

An end cap for a door edge guard comprises an end wall disposed in covering relation to a lengthwise end of the edge guard onto which the end cap is inserted. Inner and outer walls extend from the end wall for fitting onto the lengthwise end of the edge guard. The outer wall has a generally U-shaped cross section corresponding to that of the edge guard for covering the base and both legs of the edge guard, preferably extending to cover the distal ends of the legs and into abutment with the sides of the edge onto which the edge guard is fitted. The interior wall of the end cap covers the interior of the base but does not extend the full length of the legs so as to leave the distal portions of the legs which apply self-retension forces to opposite sides of the door edge unencumbered by the presence of the end cap. The edge guard has color insulation on its exterior side and the end cap is molded with a color to match that of the outside insulation on the edge guard.
