Benefits of technology

The patent describes a crown molding jig for installing molding on a ceiling. The jig has a flat body with an upper end, a lower end, a front, and a back. It also has a wall attachment element and a shelf for holding the molding. The jig can be attached to a wall using the wall attachment element or a spike. The jig also has a lever for engaging the spike and a mechanism for adjusting the distance between the shelf and the jig. The patent also describes a method for installing motorized crown molding using the jig. The technical effects of the invention include improved precision and efficiency in installing molding on a ceiling.

Problems solved by technology

However, it is difficult to install crown molding, as it must be held overhead while it is attached; even measurement of the locus for installation is made more difficult by this factor.

Abstract

Described herein is a crown molding jig, with a flat body, a device for attaching the upper end of the body to a wall, and a shelf, substantially perpendicular to the body, on which crown molding may be rested while a person installs the molding at the juncture of the wall and a ceiling. The jig may have an angled extension that when struck disengages the jig from the wall. A method using the jig to install crown molding is also described.

Description

TECHNICAL FIELD[0001]Embodiments disclosed herein relate generally to carpentry tools, and in particular to aids to installation of crown molding.BACKGROUND ART[0002]The application of crown molding is a popular way to decorate the top of internal walls. The molding gracefully bevels the line of the wall to meet the ceiling, lending the room a more organic feel while adding an additional dimension of decoration. However, it is difficult to install crown molding, as it must be held overhead while it is attached; even measurement of the locus for installation is made more difficult by this factor.[0003]Thus, there remains a need for a portable and effective tool to assist in installing crown molding.SUMMARY OF THE EMBODIMENTS[0004]A crown molding jig is disclosed. In one embodiment, the jig includes a flat body having an upper end, a lower end, a front, and a back. The jig also includes a wall attachment element, located on the back of the body at the upper end. The jig also includes ...
