DOOR EDGE GUARD TRIM

摘要

14. An edge guard trim for an automobile door edge or the like comprising a sheet metal strip roll formed into a generally U-shaped cross-sectional configuration so as to provide a bight portion and a pair of leg portions extending therefrom terminating in free ends. The free ends of the leg portions are rounded off at least along their inner corners. An extrudable thermoplastic insulating material is extruded in covering relation to the free ends of the leg portions in sufficient quantity to enable the metal strip to be installed on a door edge in scratch free fashion and in covering relation to the interior surfaces of the leg portions and bight portion in sufficient quantity to provide a desired insulation between the metal strip and the door edge during use. The exterior surfaces of the leg portions and the bight portion are smooth and free of insulating material so as to present an exposed metallic visual appearance.
