Abstract

The hand-held device (21) is used for applying protective profiles (22) made of flexible material and comprising a spine and two lips to edges (24) of objects (23) for the purpose of protecting them. It includes two side panels (26) that are mounted parallel to one another spaced at a fixed distance from one another, a handle (25), and above and between the side panels on the protective profile outlet side a device (32) for guiding and pressing the protective profile (22) onto the edge (24), and below a device (33) in the form of a wedge element (34) for opening up the protective profile in the form of a wedge element (34), and underneath the wedge element (34) a device (37) with a guide surface for guiding the hand-held device (21) along the edge (24). The wedge element (34) has a wide section (35), which is fastened to the side panels (26), and a narrow section (36), which is positioned a certain distance from the device (32) for the purpose of guiding and pressing the protective profile (22), and which corresponds at a minimum to the thickness of the spine of the protective profile (22). The wedge element (34) ends in front of the tangent that extends between the inner surface of the spine of the protective profile (22) and the guide surface of the device (37) for guiding the hand-held device (1) along the edge (24).
