ABSTRACT:
A modular valance assembly (10) is disclosed that is both easy to assemble and to disassemble. The assembly (10) includes a front valance member (20b) interconnected at each side (21) to a side valance member (20a) by a corner member (40) disposed therebetween. The valance members (20) include, near their top edge (23), a rearwardly-extending mounting flange (27) with a projecting rib (31) and, adjacent their bottom edge (24), a frontwardly-extending cantilevered portion (32). The corner member (40) includes means for connecting (43,44) the top part of each valance member (20) and means for being connected (55) to the bottom part of the each valance member (20). The corner member (40) is arcuate (41) so as to hold the interconnected valance members (20) at right angles to one another.
Second (140) and third embodiments (240) of the corner members that are not arcuate are also disclosed for interconnecting, in perpendicular relation, a front valance member (20) with a mounting flange (27) to a side valance member (120) without such a flange.
