Abstract:
A floor cover guard for protection of a corner formed by a pair of adjoining walls and a floor against debris accumulation. The floor corner guard has an elongated wall portion having sufficient vertical dimensions to extend above conventional baseboard, molding, and similar architectural details. A sloping base extends from the wall portion, downwardly and forwardly at an angle of between 25 and 75 degrees in relation to a vertical axis of the wall member. The wall portion has an upper edge and the base has a tapered forward edge to facilitate sealing engagement of the wall portion and the base with the walls and the floor, respectively. Some embodiments provide for a support brace extending outwardly from the wall portion opposite the base; the support brace is designed to fit under the baseboards, moldings and the like. During cleaning, the curved protector allows for easy removal of debris.

Claim (Index 10):
A method of preventing accumulation of debris in a room, at an intersection of two adjoining walls and a floor, the method comprising the steps:\n providing a floor corner guard comprising an elongated flexible planar wall member having vertical dimensions sufficient to extend from a floor to a pre-determined distance up two adjoining walls; providing a base member unitary connected to the wall member and extending along entire length of the wall member, the base member extending forwardly and downwardly from a bottom edge of the wall member at an angle in relation to a vertical axis of the wall member; positioning the wall member in contact with adjoining walls at the intersection of the adjoining walls and the floor, such that an upper edge of the wall member and the base member sealingly engage the adjoining walls and the floor respectively, while forming a curved corner protector.
