Snap track decorative moldings

Abstract

“In this invention, a grid is marked on the supporting surface with a chalk line. Decorator blocks are fastened to the supporting surface at strategic locations on the grid to act as corners and transition points between sections of the wall or ceiling grid. The largest exposed surface of these decorator blocks has a recess or counterbore in the center that allows fastening to a supporting surface by means of a fastening device. For design purposes, this counterbore can be covered with a decorative medallion. Once mounted into position, these blocks can be adjusted to fit precisely into position at the desired points of intersection on the grid. A main track channel of extended length and flexible sides is anchored to a supporting surface and butting to the decorator blocks. The flexible sides of the channel are tapered at the end. A channel track cover with protruding flanges on its interior and a decorative exterior, fits over the flexible tapered sides of the channel track, such that, when conjoined with the channel track cover, forms a locking step to hold the pieces together. The track channel is also designed to act as a conduit for transporting electrical wires or cable. The result is a decorative grid molding system that can be installed with a minimum of effort and is customized to the individual project.”
