Electrode edge strip with interior floating retaining pins

An edge protector for an electrode having a double-sided edge, comprising the following elements:

• an inner core with a longitudinal groove for receiving an edge of the electrode,
• an outer sleeve encasing the inner core and having a longitudinal slot aligned with said groove of the inner core;
• and
• transverse pin perforations only in the inner core and electrode where retaining pins are used for engaging corresponding perforations in the edge of the electrode and the inner core.

An edge protector for an electrode having a double-sided edge, comprising the following elements:

• an elongated inner core with a predetermined cross-section and a longitudinal groove, said inner core consisting of two jaws and a resilient longitudinal hinge portion capable of defining the longitudinal groove, said inner core being made of a material with a durometer rating in the range of 60 to 80 on the A scale;
• an elongated outer sleeve with an inner perimeter substantially conforming to said cross-section of the inner core and a longitudinal slot aligned with said groove of the inner core;
• wherein said longitudinal groove is adapted for close-fitting engagement of said double-sided edge of the electrode;
• and
• transverse pin perforations only in the inner core and electrode where retaining pins are used for engaging corresponding perforations in the edge of the electrode and the inner core.
