Abstract
A protective and decorative mattress foundation curved corner guard is mold formed in a curved configuration with a wall portion of the guard having a radius of curvature approximately equal to a radius of curvature of rounded corners of a mattress foundation to which the corner guard is to be attached. Raised areas in the form of indicia are mold formed to protrude from a front surface of the curved wall. Edges of the raised areas are bevelled to allow mold pieces to be withdrawn from the front surface of the curved wall without damage to the molded guard. When mold formed of a suitable plastic material, the curved corner guard, including the curved wall and raised indicia thereon, can be metal plated and polished.
