Abstract
An endless edge trim, which can be snapped onto and secured to a peripheral edge of an article, being fabricated from a longitudinally extending extruded profile having a uniform cross section, with opposite ends of the profile being secured together, preferably by a sonic welded gusset. The endless edge trim includes a longitudinally extending body member having a predetermined length, the body member having a vertical body portion, a top flange portion, and a bottom flange portion. The top and bottom flange portions are spaced apart a predetermined distance to provide a tension therebetween for locking the endless edge trim on the peripheral edge of the article. The endless edge trim has a hoop, ring or oval configuration, where notches can be formed therein to provide for a rectangular frame shaped configuration. In a modified form, the lower part of the body portion provides a seat for positioning the endless edge trim on the article prior to the snap-on engagement of the endless edge trim onto the peripheral edge of the article.
