"FATE TELEGRAPH COMPANY, A conronA'rIoN or NnwYoRK y MOLDING This invention relates to improvements. in molding. terminating means, and more particularly for moldings'adapted for use in" conorthe like. a

. 'One of the objects of'the invention islto provide amolding terminating means which nection with enclosures such as rooms, booths' will present anornamental and neatappear- I nects the surfaces 13. An opening is proance;

molding strips at acommo'n junction point.

A..furthe'1' "object consists in providing a molding terminal block withattaching means so arranged as to be hidden when the molding is in mounted position.

-These and further ob 'ects will be apparent from the following description when con-' sidered in connection with the accompanying.

drawing in which one embodimentof the invention is lllustrated.

- In the drawing Figure 1 is a fragmentary perspective view of a booth showing the improved molding terminal block applied to a corner thereof; Fig. 2 is an edge view as seen Referring to the drawing, a booth 5 isv shownas an'example of an enclosure to which the improved'molding may be applied. A broken away corner portion of the booth is illustrated as comprising a ceiling .6 and side walls 7 and 8. Theceiling and side walls may be provided with steel or othermetal linings 9 which abut each other. A plurality of strips of molding areapplied to the adjacent edges of these linings and also to the corners formed by the abutting walls of the ceiling 6 and side walls 7 and 8. The strips of molding 10 have a substantiallyfiat surface at their central portions and corrugated edges 11, the ends of which extend rear- 'wardly and at angle to the flat surfaces.

Another object consists inprovidin g'terminail-blocks for receiving and concealingtheends of a pluralityof differently extend ng.

r Clips of somewhat resilient material are provided foruse in connectionwith each stripof molding 10whereby it maybe attached to a wall. The clips'have corrugated edges which register with like edges of th molding aswill presently appear. j Flat longitudinal surfaces l3extend from the corrugations 12 and an angular portion 14 interconvided through the angular portion 14 for th; reception of a screw 15 by which the clip and its attached molding is secured in mounted position to a wall. The clip is'first attached; tothe wall by means 'of thescrew and the corrugated edges of the molding are the.- snapped over the corrugated edges of the clip,

- thus securely connecting these elements together. It is to be noted that when these elements, arethus secured, the clip and its attaching screw will lie behind the molding and ac' cordingly will be hidden thereby.

The molding strips as shown in Fig. 1 extend in horizontal and vertical directions and meet at a common junction point. Aterminating block is provided atthis pointand is shown as having a substantially triangular face 16 which is suitably paneled. When the block is in position, as more clearly indicated in Fig. 2, its face lG'will be somewhat inclined in accordance with the angular position of the strips of molding, whose ends terminate at said block. A pair of angular slots 17 are cut in the rear of each edge of. the triangular face 16. The ends of the corrugated edges of thevarious strips of molding -regist'er in these slots and pass behindjthe face 16 so as to be hidden thereby. A shoulder 18 is positioned between the uppermost slots to provide a stop at this point for the 3 opposing ends of thehorizontalstrip of mold ng. A plug 19, having an aperture extend 7 mg in a vertical direction therethrough, is"

formed at the rear of the face 16 and a space v 20 lies between these members. The lower end of the plug forms a shoulder l agains:

which the lower portions of the endsofthe I horizontal moldings abut. The bottom '22 of the plug forms a stop for the end of the T- Om or. :snooxLvitnnw Yonmhssreuon TO AMERICAN rEtEr oNnhNn a g ture in the plug and is adapted to enter the ceiling 6 and serves to fasten the terminating plug thereto. The terminating block when in mounted position holds the ends of the strips of molding against the wall and conceals them from View and also conceals the the terminating block is inriiXed position on one of said Walls. v

2. An arrangement for covering corners formed by abutting walls, including a plurality of strips of corrugated molding extending in horizontal and in vertical directions and meeting at a common junction point of said walls, and a terminating block of triangular formationregistering with the ends of,

the strips of molding at. their junction point and being so fashioned that its under side said walls.

will register with the corrugations'of said strips of molding.

3. An arrangement for covering corners formed by abutting walls, including a plurality of strips of molding meeting at a com- \n on junction point of said Walls, a terminating block of triangular formation registering with the ends of the strips of molding at their junction point, said terminating block being so fashioned as to concealtheregistering ends of the strips of molding when the block is in fixed position on one of said walls, and means for securing said terminating block to one of 4:. An arrangement for covering corners formed by abutting Walls, including a plurality of strips of corrugated molding extending in horizontal and in verticaldi'rections and meeting at a common junction point of said walls, a terminating block of triangular formation registering with the endsv of the strips of molding at their junction point and beingso fashioned that its under side will register with the corrugations of said strips of molding, means for securing said terminating block to one of'said walls, said securing means being so related to the back of theterminating block as to be hidden when p the terminating block is in fixed position on one of said walls, I
