Profiled, strip particularly adapted to compensate the relative displacements of a floor covering with respect to an adjacent wall and process for manufacturing such a profiled strip

A profiled corner strip for interconnecting a wall covering and a floor covering disposed at substantially a 90 degree angle, said profiled corner strip comprising:

• a) an elongate sole plate including a lower surface, an upper surface, and a longitudinal edge;
• b) a first support limb formed in and extending perpendicular to the upper surface of said sole plate along an edge of said sole plate opposite the longitudinal edge, said first support limb having an outer surface for bonding said first support limb to an edge of a floor covering;
• c) a second support limb connected to said first support member in parallel, spaced-apart relationship;
• d) spacer means extending from an outer surface of said second support limb for engaging a wall;
• e) bridge means positioned between said first support limb and said second support limb such that an outer edge of said first support limb, an outer surface of said bridge means, an outer edge of said second support limb, and an outer surface of said spacer means form a planar surface to slidingly support a wall covering mounted on the wall whereby said bridge means compensates for the relative displacement of the floor covering to maintain a joint between the floor covering and the wall covering.
