Decorative wire molding
Abstract
Abstract A DECORATIVE MOLDING FOR HOUSING WIRES, CABLES AND THE LIKE AND A METHOD FOR INSTALLING THE MOLDING ON A BUILDING SURFACE ARE DESCRIBED. THE MOLDING COMPRISES A MOLDING SLAT AND AT LEAST ONE BRACKET ADAPTED TO HOLD THE OPPOSITE EDGES OF THE SLAT AND TO MOUNT IT ON A BUILDING SURFACE. IN ONE EMBODIMENT THE BRACKET COMPRISES TWO LEGS OF RESILIENT MATERIAL, EACH JOINED AT ONE END AND HAVING A HOOK PORTION AT THE FREE END. THE LEGS ARE FORMED SO THAT THE DISTANCE BETWEEN THE FREE ENDS IS LESS THAN THE DISTANCE BETWEEN THE OPPOSITE EDGES OF THE SLAT. TO INSTALL THE MOLDING, ONE LEG OF THE BRACKET IS FIXED TO THE BUILDING SURFACE AND THE MOLDING SLAT IS INSERTED BETWEEN THE HOOL PORTIONS OF THE BRACKET TO DISTORT THE BRACKETS LEGS SO THAT THE DISTANCE BETWEEN THEIR FREE ENDS EQUALS THE WIDTH OF THE SLAT WHICH IS HELD SECURELY BY THE HOOK PORTIONS. A SECOND EMBODIMENT PROVIDES A FLAT BRACKET WITH HOOK PORTIONS AT EACH END, AND A FLEXIBLE SLOT WHICH IS DISTORTED TO FIT BETWEEN THE HOOK PORTIONS.
