Edge-it
Abstract
A U shaped plexiglas channel wrapped with variable colored
neoprene which, in practice, slips on and off a table edge easily.
However, a tapered design allows said channel to fit tightly over a
table edge while in use. When as is commonly used, the user sitting
at a table supports the forearms on a padded surface, protecting
the arms from the rough edges and cleaning chemical residue
remaining on the table surface

Claims
What I claim as my invention is the edge-it
1. A neoprene padded plexiglas channel for slipping over an edge of
a standard folding table protecting the user's forearms from rough
edges and cleaning chemical residue, comprising: (A) Injection
molded one piece {fraction (3/16)}" thick U shaped channel of
various sizes and lengths for use as an arm pad over rough table
edges (B) Said channel consists of a narrower dimension at the
front opening opposed to a wider opening at the base of the
channel, whereby (C) Said channel can be easily slipped on and off
a table edge, whereby (D) Said channel when slipped over an edge of
a table will provide a tighter and more comfortable fit (E) Said
channel to have all exterior faces incased with a continuous wrap
of {fraction (3/16)}" neoprene, adhered with a self adhesive back
or separately applied adhesive (F) Neoprene to be trimmed evenly at
all exposed edges of the channel, whereby (G) Allowing a
comfortable and protected surface to rest the forearms (H) Said
neoprene to be available in a selection of colors providing a more
marketable product
Description
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
[0001] (1) The field of endeavor for which the invention pertains
is a Utility Patent Application.
[0002] (2) There are no references to specific documents related to
this invention. However, standard fold up table edges, computer
desk edges and miscellaneous table edges are known to be rough and
uncomfortable. In addition, chemicals used to clean the surfaces
irritate the skin of forearms and elbows of the user.
[0003] (3) This invention slipped over a table's edge is intended
to protect users arms from the afore mentioned conditions.
BRIEF SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
[0004] (1) This invention is a U shaped plexiglas channel wrapped
with a neoprene pad that slips over the edge of a table to protect
the user's arm from rough edges and/or cleaning chemical residue
remaining on the table surface.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
[0011] (1) This invention is an arm pad that fits on the edge of
any standard 3/4" fold up table or 3/4" miscellaneous table.
[0012] (2) The channel shaped product is designed with a smaller
dimension at the opening of the channel to slide on and hold
tightly over a table edge.
[0013] (3) This channel used on the table edge in front of where
the user sits, is designed to protect the forearms and elbows from
sharp or uncomfortable table edges. This will also protect the user
from chemical residue remaining on the table after cleaning.
[0014] (4) This product will be manufactured out of {fraction
(3/16)}" plastic or Plexiglas through injection molding in one U
shaped solid piece. Exterior surfaces will be wrapped with a
neoprene or similar padding. The padding could be an adhesive
backed material, or a separate adhesive may be used to apply the
neoprene.
[0015] (5) The unique features of this product that distinguishes
it from other inventions is the size. This product as illustrated
on the drawings as a channel 21/2" wide by 8" long by 15/8" high.
Other sizes would be available.
[0016] (6) Another unique feature that differs from other products
is that if and when the neoprene gets soiled or damaged on one
side, it can be flipped over to the opposite side.
[0017] (7) The primary market for which this product is related to
is the Bingo Industry. Due to it's size, it is easy to carry in
bingo bags, purses or any small carry bags.
[0018] The secondary market is for schools, office or homes.
[0019] (8) Another unique feature would be the various amounts of
colors the neoprene padding could be marketed with.
[0020] (9) This product will also be produced in various lengths or
sizes.
