Abstract
A corner protector useful for shielding the corner of a cabinet from damage during shipping, storage, handling or the like, comprises a top member having an outer portion, an inner portion, and a generally flat planar bottom portion. A first pair of arm members is connected to the top member outer portion and projects downward therefrom, with the first pair of arm members being positioned substantially perpendicularly to one another, each of the first arm members having a generally flat planar bottom edge portion oriented substantially parallel with one another and substantially parallel with the top member bottom portion. A second pair of arm members is connected to the top member inner portion and projects downward therefrom, with each member of the second pair of arm members facing a corresponding member of first pair of arm members, each of the second pair of arm members having a generally flat planar bottom edge portion oriented substantially parallel with one another and substantially parallel with the top member bottom portion. The second arm member bottom portions are spaced downward from the first arm member bottom portions so that the corner protector can be easily installed by hand on a cabinet corner to shield the corner from damage.
