corner or edge protector exhibiting high stiffness and flexural properties

CORNER OR EDGE PROTECTOR DISPLAYING HIGH STRENGTH AND STRENGTH RESISTANCE PROPERTIES. A new and improved outer corner guard is made from certain materials and comprises a vertex portion (112) and a pair of flap elements (114, 116) which diverge outwardly at a certain included angle, a relative to each other from the vertex portion. The apex portion and the distal end portions of the flap members have relatively broad cross-sectional dimensions with respect to the cross-sectional dimensions comprising those flap member portions which integrally interconnect the distal end portions of the flap member to the where the relatively enlarged cross-sectional dimensions serve to reinforce the vertex portion and to arrange only those relatively widened distal end portions of the flap elements with the outer sidewall elements of the palletized load defining the outer corner region being protected. In this way, the flap elements of the outer corner protector are more flexed than has been conventionally the case as forces are generated and transmitted to the vertex portion in order to stiffen it by which the vertex portion It will exhibit high bending stiffness and bending strength properties with respect to external forces, which can be exerted on the outer corner protector, thus tending to bend or bend it.
