Abstract

The present disclosure relates to a corner cover, comprising a first elongated section; a second elongated section, joined to the first elongated section in a connection area, wherein the first elongated section and the second elongated section extending away from each other in different directions; a flip section; and an attachment section.

Claims (18)

1 . A corner cover for a sealing system provided on a sidewall of a recreational vehicle, comprising:

a first elongated section;

a second elongated section, joined to the first elongated section in a connection area, wherein the first elongated section and the second elongated section extending away from each other in different directions;

a flip section; and

an attachment section;

wherein each of the elongated sections comprises a curved portion and transition portions joined to the curved portion defining an interior of the respective elongated section for accommodating the seals of the sealing system, at least in part,

wherein each of the elongated sections comprises an open end on one of their front sides for receiving the seal in the interior of the elongated sections, and

wherein the flip section is joined to the transition portion of at least one of the elongated sections such that the flip section protrudes into the interior of the at least one elongated section, allowing the flip section to be clamped by a seal accommodated in the respective elongated section.

2 . The corner cover of claim 1 , wherein the attachment section is joined to the transition portion of at least one of the elongated sections such that the attachment section protrudes away from the interior of the at least one elongated section.

3 . The corner cover of claim 1 , wherein the attachment section is joined to the transition portion of at least one of the elongated sections such that the attachment section protrudes into the interior of the at least one elongated section.

4 . The corner cover of claim 1 , wherein the attachment section is integral with or integrated into at least one of the transition portions and/or integral with or integrated into the curved portion and/or integral or integrated into the flip section.

5 . The corner cover of claim 1 , wherein the flip section comprises a protrusion projecting upwards into the interior of the respective elongate section.

6 . The corner cover of claim 1 , wherein the transition portions of both of the elongated sections have the same height and/or wherein the interiors of both of the elongated sections have the same interior heights for accommodating two seals having the same geometry.

7 . The corner cover of claim 1 , wherein the transition portions of the first elongated section have a first height and the transition portions of the second elongated section have a second height, wherein the first height and the second height are different for accommodating seals having different geometries.

8 . The corner cover of claim 1 , wherein the interior of the first elongated section has a first interior height and the interior of the second elongated section has a second interior height, wherein the first interior height and the second interior height are different for accommodating seals having different geometries.

9 . The corner cover of claim 1 , wherein the flip section is joined to at least one of the transition portions along its entire length or longitudinal extension.

10 . The corner cover of claim 1 , wherein the first elongated section and the second elongated section extend perpendicularly away from each other.

11 . The corner cover of claim 1 , wherein each of the elongated sections has just one open end, wherein the open ends of both elongated sections are positioned opposite to the connection area or at least one of the open ends is positioned adjacent to the connection area.
