Abstract
A three dimensional corner fixture for a flexible joint or the like is prepared from a continuous belt or strip of flexible flat material. The strip is partially slitted from an edge, and an insert is secured between the opposed edges of the slit to allow the material to substantially conform to the shape of a flanged corner, preferably with a leg or tab extending from the insert and secured at least through the radius at the corner.
