Claim 1
Independent Claim
119 words
An elongated channel mounting member for assembly with an elongated strip of resilient material to form a protective strip assembly comprising: a. a web portion having a first substantially planar surface and a pair of oppositely disposed web latch extensions; b. at least one leg member projecting from a second surface opposite said first surface, said at least one leg members extending away from the first surface of the web portion; c. a pair of oppositely disposed coplanar base members: (1) each extending from a leg member, away from each other; and (2) each terminating in a base latch portion projecting substantially parallel to said at least one leg member, projecting from said base members toward said web portion.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
119 words
An elongated channel mounting member for assembly with an elongated strip of resilient material to form a protective strip assembly comprising: a. a web portion having a first substantially planar surface and a pair of oppositely disposed web latch extensions; b. at least one leg member projecting from a second surface opposite said first surface, said at least one leg members extending away from the first surface of the web portion; c. a pair of oppositely disposed coplanar base members: (1) each extending from a leg member, away from each other; and (2) each terminating in a base latch portion projecting substantially parallel to said at least one leg member, projecting from said base members toward said web portion.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
30 words
The channel mounting member of claim 1 wherein the at least one leg member comprises two leg members and each oppositely disposed base member extends away from one leg member.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
14 words
The channel mounting member of claim 2, wherein the channel mounting member is aluminum.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
16 words
The channel mounting member of claim 2, wherein the channel mounting member is a rigid plastic.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
17 words
The channel mounting member of claim 2, wherein the channel mounting member is a rigid graphic composite.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
29 words
The channel mounting member of claim 2 wherein the web latch extensions extend outwardly to a position closely adjacent but inward of a projection of the base latch portions.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim
39 words
The channel mounting member of claim 2 wherein the base latch portions extend to a position closely adjacent but spaced away from an outward projection of the web latch extensions said projection in the plane of said web portion.
Claim 9
Dependent Claim
155 words
An elongated channel mounting member for assembly with an elongated strip of resilient material to form a protective strip assembly comprising: a. a web portion having a first substantially planar surface and a pair of oppositely disposed web latch extensions; b. at least one leg member projecting from a second surface opposite said first surface, said at least one leg members extending away from the first surface of the web portion; c. a pair of oppositely disposed coplanar base members; (1) each extending from a leg member, away from each other, (2) each terminating in a base latch portion projecting toward the plane defined by said first surface of said web portion, to an extent that the distance between the tip of each base latch portion and the tip of the nearest web latch portion is less than the distance between any other pair of points of the base portion and the nearest web portion.
Claim 10
Dependent Claim
155 words
An elongated channel mounting member for assembly with an elongated strip of resilient material to form a protective strip assembly comprising: a. a web portion having a first substantially planar surface and a pair of oppositely disposed web latch extensions; b. at least one leg member projecting from a second surface opposite said first surface, said at least one leg members extending away from the first surface of the web portion; c. a pair of oppositely disposed coplanar base members; (1) each extending from a leg member, away from each other, (2) each terminating in a base latch portion projecting toward the plane defined by said first surface of said web portion, to an extent that the distance between the tip of each base latch portion and the tip of the nearest web latch portion is less than the distance between any other pair of points of the base portion and the nearest web portion.
