Corner covering apparatus

Abstract

A corner covering apparatus includes a diamond shaped body that is at least substantially planar, and formed of a material impervious to water and oil based compositions, such as paints, varnishes, staining agents and the like. One side is typically smooth while the other side is typically sticky, as it holds adhesive, typically a weak adhesive, that will not damage the surface to where it is applied.

 a body formed of a substantially planar material at least impervious to liquids and including adhesive along at least a portion of the body, the body including a first end configured for seating in a corner formed by the junction of adjacent walls, and along a plane at least substantially orthogonal to the adjacent walls.    
   
   
       2 . The apparatus of  claim 1 , wherein the body includes at least one side and the adhesive is on the at least one side.  
   
   
       3 . The apparatus of  claim 1 , wherein the first end includes a substantially right angle.  
   
   
       4 . The apparatus of  claim 1 , additionally comprising a second end opposite the first end, the second end formed by at least one straight edge.  
   
   
       5 . The apparatus of  claim 1 , additionally comprising a release layer inert to the adhesive, removably attachable to the body.  
   
   
       6 . A covering apparatus comprising: 
 a diamond-shaped body formed of a substantially planar material at least impervious to liquids and including adhesive along at least a portion of the body.    
   
   
       7 . The apparatus of  claim 6 , wherein the body includes at least one side and the adhesive is on the at least one side.  
   
   
       8 . The apparatus of  claim 6 , additionally comprising a release layer inert to the adhesive, removably attachable from the body.  
   
   
       9 . A covering apparatus comprising: 
 a body formed of a substantially planar material at least impervious to liquids, including a first end configured for seating in a corner formed by the junction of adjacent walls and along a plane at least substantially orthogonal to the adjacent walls; and;    an adhesive layer in communication with at least a portion of the body.    
   
   
       10 . The apparatus of  claim 9 , wherein the adhesive layer is attached to the body.  
   
   
       11 . The apparatus of  claim 9 , wherein the first end includes a substantially right angle.  
   
   
       12 . The apparatus of  claim 9 , additionally comprising a second end opposite the first end, the second end formed by a straight edge.  
   
   
       13 . The apparatus of  claim 9 , additionally comprising a release layer inert to the adhesive layer, removably attachable from the body.  
   
   
       14 . A covering apparatus comprising: 
 a diamond-shaped body formed of a substantially planar material at least impervious to liquids; and    an adhesive layer in communication with at least a portion of the body.    
   
   
       15 . The apparatus of  claim 14 , wherein the adhesive layer is attached to the body.  
   
   
       16 . The apparatus of  claim 14 , additionally comprising a release layer inert to the adhesive layer, removably attachable to the body.  
   
   
       17 . A method for protecting a corner comprising: 
 providing a covering apparatus including at least one end squared end configured for seating in a corner, the corner formed of intersecting members, and at least one side configured for adhering to a surface, the surface at least substantially planar and at least substantially orthogonal to the intersecting members; and    positioning said covering apparatus into a corner by placing the apparatus such that the squared end seats at least proximate to the corner; and    placing the at least one side configured for adhering to a surface into contact with the surface.    
   
   
       18 . The method of  claim 17 , including: removing a layer of inert material from the covering apparatus to expose the at least one side configured for adhering to a surface.  
   
   
       19 . The method of  claim 17 , wherein the at least one squared end is formed from edges at a right angle to each other, and the positioning the apparatus includes moving the apparatus such that the edges abut the intersecting walls at the surface.  
   
   
       20 . The method of  claim 19 , wherein the surface includes a ceiling.  
   
   
       21 . The method of  claim 19 , wherein the surface includes a floor.  
   
   
       22 . A method for covering portions of a first surface and a second surface comprising: 
 providing a body having an at least substantially linear first edge and the remainder of the body extending below said first edge, the body including at least one side configured for adhering to surfaces; and    positioning the body such that the first edge is proximate a third surface at least substantially orthogonal to the first surface and the second surface, and    placing the body into contact with portions of the first surface and the second surface by contacting the at least one side configured for adhering to surfaces with the first surface and the second surface.    
   
   
       23 . The method of  claim 22 , additionally comprising: folding the body along an axis into approximately halves.  
   
   
       24 . The method of  claim 23 , wherein the first surface and said second surface define a corner, and the third surface includes a ceiling.  
   
   
       25 . The method of  claim 23 , wherein said first surface and said second surface define a corner, and the third surface defines a floor.
