Benefits of technology

[0009] In an embodiment of the present invention, a decorative molding system and method of installation includes a pair of removably engagable molding components. Specifically, a base piece includes a run member hingeably connected to a rise member, such that an approximately 90-degree angle can be created between the run and rise members. Each of the run and rise members include an engagement hook at their respective ends. The base piece is mounted to vertical wall and ceiling surfaces by attaching the run member to the ceiling and the rise member to the wall, such that the hinge portion con

Problems solved by technology

Generally speaking, crown molding is difficult to apply because it is applied at an angle defined by an inside edge on the backside of the crown molding and either the ceiling or the vertical wall.
Because wall and ceiling structures in most homes are uneven in that the surfaces of a vertical wall and ceiling do not create a 90-degree angle, the problems associated with installation of crown moldings are exacerbated.
Moreover, room corners, where two vertical walls meet a ceiling, require complex “compound miter” cuts requiring both a bevel cut and a miter cut, or difficult to apply coping cuts.

Abstract

A decorative molding system and method of installation is provided that has a base piece and a crown piece that are adapted to be selectively engagable to each other. The molding system is easy to construct and allows for the separation of the base piece and crown piece for placing wiring or other materials behind the molding.

Description

CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATION [0001] This application claims the benefit of Provisional Application Ser. No. 60 / 797,500, filed May 4, 2006, entitled “Decorative Molding System,” the entire disclosure of which is hereby incorporated by reference.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION [0002] 1. Field of the Invention [0003] The present invention relates to the field of decorative moldings and, in particular, to a selectively removable crown molding system. [0004] 2. Description of Related Art [0005] Applying “crown molding” is the process by which a decorative molding is applied to the top edge of walls, cabinets, or other furniture. The process of applying crown molding is typically done along the seams where a ceiling meets a vertical wall. Generally speaking, crown molding is difficult to apply because it is applied at an angle defined by an inside edge on the backside of the crown molding and either the ceiling or the vertical wall. These pairs of angles are typically on the order o...
