Abstract:
A new and improved padded table top corner protector system comprising, in combination:a table having a rectangular top of a rigid material with four corners in a generally horizontal orientation and with four legs depending from the lower surface of the top adjacent to the corners thereof;four cords with free ends coupled together by bows and with each cord having a central extent between the free ends;a pad located over each corner, each pad being of a common triangular configuration and formed from an initial sheet of a thick padded layer and a thin material layer with the layers each being about 16 inches in length and about 8 inches in width and bonded together over facing surfaces to form a composite fabric with parallel long edges and parallel short edges, said central extent of each cord positioned over each composite fabric from the lower left corner to adjacent the midpoint of the right long edge and with the lower right edge folded over to the midpoint of the long left edge to form a first pocket edge at the hypotenuse thereby formed;diagonal stitching from adjacent to the lower left edge to adjacent to the midpoint of the long right edge to form a supporting tunnel for the cord there between;the upper right hand corner being folded to the midpoint of the left long edge to form a second pocket edge at the hypotenuse thereby formed and with the upper left hand corner being folded down over the left hand right corner; andvertical stitching along the long left edge to retain the composite fabric in an orientation for being received by the corners of the table with the coupling cords hanging downwardly from the table top between the corners.
