ABSTRACT:
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
1. Field of the Invention
The present invention relates generally to a decorative wall and ceiling device and, more specifically, to wall decorations such as borders, motifs and medallions that are cost effective to manufacture and are adhesively mountable. The present decorative wall device and ceiling consists of a decorative member, a peel away laminated backing member, and an adhesive bonding element. The decorative member may be furnished in a plurality of embodiments. The decorative member may consist of a flat surface embodiment, a flat surface embodiment having selectively attached raised accessments and an embroidered embodiment. The decorative member is an ornamentally designed structure that may vary in shape, size and design with multiple layers due to the individual user's preference. The decorative member material is composed of a lightweight flexible material such as cross-linked polyethylene foam. Also the decorative member is a double-sided structure that may have a highly detailed ornamental designed surface on its front side, and an adhesive element on the opposing side allowing for an easy peel and stick manner mounting. The decorative member provides means for economically adding architectural relief to a room or structure. The flat surface embodiment provides the user of the decorative wall and ceiling device with the means of a smooth finished seal that may be used to selectively attach smaller intricate pieces that work in conjunction with the flat surface embodiment to produce a user's selectively chosen raised surface design. The embroidered embodiment may consist of a selectively chosen interwoven pattern. The peel away laminated backing member is a thin membrane film that provides protection for the adhesive bonding element while the decorative wall and ceiling device is not attached to a wall or other type surfaces. Also the peel away laminated member is consistent in its shape to the decorative member that it provides protection for. The adhesive bonding element is a glue-based material that provides fastening means for said decorative wall and ceiling device. Also the adhesive bonding element may be comprised of a highly durable adhesive compound providing means for selectively rearranging the position and/or location of the decorative wall and ceiling device. The decorative wall device provides the means for the individual user to selectively design an interior and/or exterior wall area while avoiding the high cost of wood, plaster and metal. Also the decorative wall and ceiling device provides for fast and easy application of raised relief mimicking real plaster yet costing less. The decorative wall and ceiling device consists of a plurality of diverse shapes and sizes providing the means for panoramic ensemble of combinations.

A flat rectangular holding frame member is provided on one side with adhesive tape adjacent the edge thereof, which is covered by a peel-off film which, upon removal, allows the frame to be applied to the surface of a wall for adherence thereto; and on the other side, is provided with snap fastener means for removably holding a flat, domino decoration-bearing rectangular face member at which is similar in size and shape to that of the frame member, having mating snap fastener means on the back thereof, in place thereon, so that a wall decorated with a plurality of different domino spots, or blanks, can be rearranged on the frame member at will without removing the frame members from the wall surface.
A wall ornament for a shower and tub enclosures comprises a full scale drawing, print or photograph of a male or female or other print of interest, color imprinted upon a sheet of moisture impervious synthetic paper including a film of polypropylene and is die cut closely around is periphery. A layer of pressure sensitive adhesive is bonded to and secured over the rear of the sheet for snug and supportive engagement with the wall of a shower or tub enclosure.
A versatile decorated system is provided with self-adherent, pre-cut decorative appliques that removably attach onto substrate sheets adhered to walls. Both the appliques and the substrate sheet utilize a reusable, non-permanent adhesive coating. Such a coating permits rearrangement of the appliques on the substrate sheets and rearrangement of the substrate sheets on the walls, in a peel-off/press-on manner. Each applique provides decorative imagery of a common theme. Additionally, the substrate sheets may include decorative imagery which cooperates with the appliques to create a decorative wall scene. The appliques can also be adhered to surfaces other than the substrate sheets. The decorative presented by the wall decorating system is easily changed by repositioning the appliques or by removing appliques of one theme and substituting therefor appliques of a new theme.
A decorative molding for a corner formed by a ceiling and a vertical wall comprises a thin strip of flexible plastic and is secured to the wall by an attachment allowing the molding strip along its upper and lower edges to be flexible to conform with uneven surfaces in the ceiling and/or wall. In another form, a wall track and clip arrangement is utilized to provide easy removal from the wall for paint or wallpaper application. A corner element is provided in one form in which ends of the strips are adhesively secured thereto in overlapping engagement. In another embodiment, the strips are telescopically connected to the corner element.
A wall ornament releasably mountable is provided with reusable adhesive. A light-weight, rigid substrate is used that is thick and conveys a three-dimension impression when the wall ornament is attached to a wall or similar planar surface. Various wall ornaments can be used together cooperatively to create a decorative wall scene. The wall ornament is easily removed and the adhesive can be reused so that unlimited theme decors can be accomplished. Possibilities for wall designs include educational, fantasy, seasonal, sporting, and religious. When removed, the wall ornaments do not mar or damage wall surfaces. The wall ornaments can be professionally prepared or kits can be provided so individuals may match room decor to wall ornament.
A decorative molding for a comer formed by a ceiling and a vertical wall comprises a thin strip of flexible plastic and is secured to the wall by an attachment allowing the molding strip along its upper and lower edges to be flexible to conform with uneven surfaces in the ceiling and/or wall. In another form, a wall track and clip arrangement is utilized to provide easy removal from the wall for paint or wallpaper application. A corner element is provided in one form in which ends of the strips are adhesively secured thereto in overlapping engagement. In another embodiment, the strips are telescopically connected to the comer element.
A wall decorating system, comprising a multiplicity of multi-layer imitated window scenery sets. Each imitated window scenery set further comprising a large background scene-scape, a large foreground scene-scape, several small foreground scene-scape, and a large imita
