Corner support

Abstract

A corner support for aiding in the finishing of interior and exterior corners during building construction. The corner support includes three leg members connected perpendicular to one another, a plurality of shelf members which extend outward from, and along the length of each leg member, and three lip members where a lip member extends from the second end of each leg member and the lip member is greater than or equal to the width of the leg member.

1 . A corner support comprising: 
 three leg members each having first and second ends and opposite sides wherein their first ends are connected perpendicular to one another to form a three way corner section;    a plurality of shelf members such that there is a shelf member extending outward from, and along the length of, each side of the leg members; and    three lip members wherein there is a lip member extending from the second end of each leg member such that the lip member is greater than or equal to a width of the leg member.    
   
   
       2 . The corner support of  claim 1  wherein the corner support is formed from a continuous piece of molded plastic.  
   
   
       3 . The corner support of  claim 1  wherein the plurality of shelf members comprises three shelf members with each shelf member extending from the sides of two adjacent leg members.  
   
   
       4 . The corner support of  claim 3  wherein the three shelf members each comprise an “L” shape.  
   
   
       5 . The corner support of  claim 3  wherein the three shelf members each comprise a square shape.  
   
   
       6 . The corner support of  claim 3  wherein each of the three shelf members each comprise a triangular shape.  
   
   
       7 . The corner support of  claim 3  wherein each of the three shelf members each comprise a five sided polygon.  
   
   
       8 . The corner support of  claim 3  wherein the corner support is formed from a continuous piece of molded plastic.  
   
   
       9 . The corner support of  claim 3  wherein each shelf member comprises a plurality of apertures contained therethrough.  
   
   
       10 . The corner support of  claim 3  wherein each of the lip members also extends from an end of at least one shelf member.  
   
   
       11 . The corner support of  claim 10  wherein the three shelf members each comprise an “L” shape.  
   
   
       12 . The corner support of  claim 10  wherein the three shelf members each comprise a square shape.  
   
   
       13 . The corner support of  claim 10  wherein each of the three shelf members each comprise a triangular shape.  
   
   
       14 . The corner support of  claim 10  wherein each of the three shelf members each comprise a five sided polygon.  
   
   
       15 . The corner support of  claim 10  wherein the corner support is formed from a continuous piece of molded plastic.  
   
   
       16 . The corner support of  claim 10  wherein each shelf member comprises a plurality of apertures contained therethrough.
