Abstract

An ornamental cover at least partially covers an aberration on a mounting surface having an angled disposition, such as a corner of a structure. The ornamental cover includes a first plate and a second plate that hingedly join together at a hinge. The first plate includes a first inner surface, a first outer surface, and at least one first edge. The first edge is configured into a first ornamental design. The first plate includes at least one first aperture to help in mounting the first plate to the mounting surface. The second plate includes a second inner surface, a second outer surface, and at least one second edge. The second plate may include at least one second aperture to help in mounting the first plate to the mounting surface. The at least one second edge is cut into a second ornamental design that matches the first edge.

What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A cover comprising:
 a first plate, said first plate comprising a first inner surface, a first outer surface, at least one first edge, and at least one first aperture, said first inner surface having a plurality of first protrusions, said at least one first edge being configured into a first ornamental design;   a second plate, said second plate comprising a second inner surface, a second outer surface, at least one second edge, and at least one second aperture, said second inner surface having a plurality of second protrusions, said at least one second edge being configured into a second ornamental design;   a hinge, said hinge being disposed between said first plate and said second plate, said hinge configured to enable at least partial pivoting between said first plate and said second plate; and   at least one fastener, said at least one fastener being configured to at least partially pass through said at least one first aperture and said at least one second aperture.   
     
     
         2 . The cover of  claim 1 , wherein said cover is configured to at least partially cover an aberration on a mounting surface. 
     
     
         3 . The cover of  claim 2 , wherein said mounting surface includes at least one member selected from the group consisting of: a corner on a structure, a fascia, a cornice, a crown molding, a roof truss, a roof gutter, and a window pane. 
     
     
         4 . The cover of  claim 3 , wherein said first plate and said second plate are fabricated from an aluminum alloy. 
     
     
         5 . The cover of  claim 4 , wherein said cover is about 7 inches long and about 5 inches wide. 
     
     
         6 . The cover of  claim 5 , wherein said first plate pivots relative to said second plate about 20 degrees to about 180 degrees. 
     
     
         7 . The cover of  claim 6 , wherein said first plate and said second plate are concave or convex. 
     
     
         8 . The cover of  claim 7 , wherein said first ornamental design and said second ornamental design are configured into a floral arc. 
     
     
         9 . The cover of  claim 8 , wherein said at least one first aperture comprises two holes. 
     
     
         10 . The cover of  claim 9 , wherein said at least one second aperture comprises two holes. 
     
     
         11 . The cover of  claim 10 , wherein said plurality of first protrusions comprise a pointed terminus. 
     
     
         12 . The cover of  claim 11 , wherein said plurality of first protrusions comprise seventeen protrusions. 
     
     
         13 . The cover of  claim 12 , wherein said plurality of second protrusions comprise a pointed terminus. 
     
     
         14 . The cover of  claim 13 , wherein said plurality of second protrusions comprise seventeen protrusions. 
     
     
         15 . The cover of  claim 14 , further comprising at least one gasket. 
     
     
         16 . The cover of  claim 15  wherein the at least one gasket is four rubber O-rings. 
     
     
         17 . The cover of  claim 16 , wherein said rubber O-ring is disposed to position in said at least one first aperture and said at least one second aperture at a depth of about ⅛ inches. 
     
     
         18 . The cover of  claim 17 , wherein said hinge is a fixed axis, said fixed axis configured to help restrict pivoting between said first plate and said second plate. 
     
     
         19 . A cover comprising:
 means for decorating a covering means;   means for pivoting said covering means to form an angled configuration;   means for overlaying said covering means;   means for cushioning said covering means; and   means for fastening said covering means.   
     
     
         20 . A cover consisting of:
