Abstract
A furniture deck edging strip providing for pillow retention, cushioning and wear protection between the wire or other structural elements of a furniture deck, at the edges of the top load surface of the deck, and padding layers applied over the deck in the finishing of the furniture, the edging strip being elongated and of uniform cross-sectional contour, being formed of a flexibly resilient material, and having a pair of laterally spaced apart projecting fins or flaps, one of which forms a re-entrant notch with the body of the strip for interlocking engagement over the edge of the deck to secure the strip to the deck, and the other fin being attachable to the deck by clips or the like, so that the notch is locked in engagement with the deck. The strip may be provided with a tough surface layer to provide good purchase for the clips, and structural strength for the rib forming the notch.
