ABSTRACT:
A molding assembly which includes a length of molding, a pair of retainers, and a plurality of optional L-shaped brackets is disclosed. The molding assembly is for use in dressing up a junction or intersection between a wall and a ceiling and to provide an aesthetically pleasing appearance. The molding is shaped in the form of conventional crown molding having yieldable or deflecting securing members disposed at opposite ends. The yieldable securing members are formed to include a throat having a reduced area and an enlarged area. The throat is in open communication with an enlarged area. The retainers each include an inwardly and rearwardly directed hook which is frictionally engageable with a respective yieldable fastener. Successively arranged slots are disposed along the entire length of each retainer for receiving fasteners therethrough to secure the same to a mounting surface. The L-shaped brackets have a plurality of through bores passing therethrough. The molding assembly is used to mount the molding to both a wall and ceiling. When mounting the molding to both the wall and the ceiling, the L-shaped bracket is omitted. When mounting the molding to the wall spaced apart from the ceiling, or to the ceiling spaced apart from the wall, the L-shaped bracket is employed to retain the shape of the molding.
