Abstract
Abstract Structure serving as decorative trim and also to join panels together and to provide a support for the ''''hanging'''' of an item attached to an L-shaped support bracket. A base portion bears against the top edge of one or more panels, and a flange portion overlies the base portion. The upper and side surfaces of the flange portion serve as the exposed decorative trim. The flange portion has an outwardly and then downwardly extending outer part on each side thereof which terminates above a support surface to hold one leg of the L-shaped support bracket and to maintain the other leg of that bracket resting on the support surface.
