Extremities of decorative mouldings

Claim 1

A one-piece plastic device forming an extremity for an internally hollowed decorated molding mounted on a support and comprising: a head having two portions, the first portion of which constitutes the finish of the molding at one of its extremities while the second portion constitutes the reception member for retaining the extremity of the molding, said second portion having at least partly a shape complementary to the longitudinal inner face of the hollow molding and having means for fixing said molding on said second portion, said first and second portions of said head lying along the longitudinal axis of the molding to be retained, these two portions of said head having in common a flat face applicable against the outer face of the support; a clip for fixing the second portion of said head on the cooperative support, said support constituted by a panel of predetermined substantially constant thickness provided with a corresponding orifice for the reception of said clip, this latter arranged on the side of the flat face of the head and comprising a first arm with a longitudinal axis perpendicular to the flat face common to the two portions of said head and at least one resilient second arm curved back from the extremity of said first arm and directed towards said flat face common to the two portions of said head and on the side of the first portion of the head, both of said arms forming the clip lying in a plane substantially parallel to the longitudinal axis of the molding to be retained, said second arm having an extremity for complimentary cooperation with the lateral wall of the orifice closest to the end of the molding to be retained while the outer face of said first arm cooperates with the diametrically-opposite lateral wall of the passage orifice, the curved portion separating the first and second branches of said clip constituting an elastically flexible hinge.
