Abstract
An edge protector (100) is configured to secure onto an edge of a component. The edge protector includes a main shrouding body (102) that includes a first wall (104) connected to a second wall (106) by a connecting wall (108). An open-ended passage (110) is defined between the first wall, the second wall, and the connecting wall. A first securing clamp (112) extends inwardly into the passage from the first wall. A second securing clamp (116) that opposes the first securing clamp extends inwardly into the passage from the second wall. The first securing clamp and the second securing clamp are configured to securely clamp onto a portion of the component. The edge protector may also include at least one cutout (122) formed in at least one of the first wall or the second wall.
