Abstract
Description
- The present invention is directed to a system for installing architectural details such as mouldings without tools or construction experience.
- It is known for centuries to apply carved or shaped wainscot, moulding, medallions, appliqués, and other architectural details to surfaces such as walls, ceilings, doors, cabinetry, etc. Historically, such decorative details have been made from wood, plaster, stone, concrete or other such materials requiring expertise and equipment to create and install. Once installed, destructive means are required to remove and/or replace these applications, requiring skilled labor for repair and restoration with new architectural elements.
- Some, more user friendly systems have been suggested for example U.S. Pat. No. 5,623,800 (Shinkosky) which provides a removable panel system. U.S. Pat. No. 7,168,175 B1 (Cook) provides a plastic decorative device which includes a built in leveling device and a concave channel to receive a mounting adhesive.
- The problems with existing systems are several. Conventional methods require skilled labor, equipment as well as considerable time, disruption and clean up. Improvements on the conventional methods remain either bulky (i.e. difficult and expensive to ship and store). The known prior art also includes a plurality of parts, inter connections and exacting tolerances that would require a skilled person to cut and fit parts of a system.
- Other known art, although removable, is not reconfigurable without causing damage to either the apparatus or the applied to surface. Still other existing art is exclusively made of limiting material such as plastic which is difficult to effectively paint and is widely known to be an undesirable material for use in certain upper scale applications such as moulding and other architectural details.
- Some of these products also include “break away” parts for removal after installation which leave inconsistencies in the finished surface.
- While known systems address some of the issues and challenges associated with the installation of decorative wainscot, mouldings, medallions, appliqués and other architectural details, there is not a known apparatus which effectively resolves the issues in aggregate.
- In view of the limitations of existing systems, it is a first object of the present invention to provide an apparatus of varying shapes and sizes that effectively resolves the significant challenges associated with the installation of similar or related devices in aggregate.
- An exemplary aspect of the invention is to provide a prefabricated system requiring no hazardous labor, exceptional skill, noise, fumes, dust or damage to property. Only a tape measure or ruler and a pencil or pen are required for installation.
- Another exemplary aspect of the invention is to provide a wainscot, moulding, medallion, appliqué and architectural detail system which by its design and plurality of sizes can be adapted to adorn any size surface from ¼″×¼″ or smaller to 100′×100′ or larger, wall ceiling, cabinet, door, window, etc without the need for cutting or modifying the device or plurality of devices in any way.
- Another exemplary aspect of the invention is to provide a light weight system which may include large embodiments that are easy and inexpensive to transport or ship and easy for any grown person of sound body to handle while working alone.
- Another exemplary aspect of the invention is to provide a system of architecturally acceptable (i.e. professional looking results) wainscoting, mouldings, appliqués, and architectural details that is either temporary, semi permanent or permanent at the same time and can be reconfigured, repurposed and or reinstalled with no additional materials or additional expense.
- Another exemplary aspect of the invention is to provide a system which includes no additional parts or hardware, but is a complete device within it's self.
- It is still another exemplary aspect of this invention to provide a system of attachment and removal which leaves the device entirely intact and causes no damage to the surface previously applied thereto.
- The invention may include numerous shapes, sizes, configurations, patterns and applications including prepared groupings and patterns to accommodate a range of typical surface (i.e. wall, ceiling, door, cabinet, window, etc.) dimensions.
- Numerous additional objects, features and advantages will become readily apparent from the following detailed description of the preferred embodiments, also from what is claimed and from the included drawings.
- The present invention

Upon removing the device from a surface the adhesive protector backing 12 can again be reapplied to the semi permanent face of theadhesive 10 on the deviceFIG. 2 The device can then be stored or theadhesive protector backing 12 can again be removed and the deviceFIG. 1 can be reused by reapplying it to anothersurface 8. For permanent adhesion consumer simply caulks theedge 4 of the deviceFIG. 1 to the desiredsurface 8. When clear caulking is used, no additional paint or other finish touch up is required. - The necessary elements of this invention are the prefabricated moulding/wainscoting/picture frame wainscoting/architectural mouldings/details appliqué wainscoting/appliqué wall trim/architectural mouldings/ornamental mouldings/carved appliqué/carved in lays/carved
frieze device 22,FIG. 1 ,FIG. 4A ,FIG. 4B ,FIG. 5 and the adhesive 10 which is removable/temporary, semi permanent adhesive or permanent adhesive. Optional elements could include but are not limited to the multiple types of moulding that could possibly be used, paints/finishes/stains/therma foil/foils 2 b, varying degrees of permanency and non permanency, number of devicesFIG. 6 used and size of devices. - The typically flat back
FIG. 2 of the device includes pre-applied removable, temporary, semi permanent and/or permanent adhesive 10. - The invention allows a homeowner and/or renter to have temporary, semi permanent or permanent moulding/wainscoting/picture frame wainscoting/architectural moulding/architectural detail/appliqué wainscoting/appliqué wall trim/ornamental mouldings/carved appliqué/carved in lays/carved frieze device
FIG. 1 ,FIG. 4 ,FIG. 4B ,FIG. 5 that has been pre-made, pre-finished 2B in a painted, powder coated, stained, therma foiled, foiled or natural finish in their home that can be removed from thewall 8 or any othersuitable surface 8 easily, quickly withoutdamaging surface 8 from which it is removed because of thetemporary adhesive 10 that is applied to the backFIG. 2 of the device. These components come together to allow for temporary/removable moulding/wainscoting/picture frame wainscoting/architectural moulding details/appliqué wainscoting/appliqué wall trim/ornamental mouldings/carved appliqués/carved in lays/carvedfrieze device 22,FIG. 1 ,FIG. 4 ,FIG. 4B ,FIG. 5 at a fraction of the time and cost of other methods. This inventionFIG. 1 also does not require tools other than a tape measure or a ruler and pencil or pen. - This invention
FIG. 1 can be made using moulding, nails, glue,biscuits 18,paint 2B, and specialized removable/reusable adhesive 10. A skilled carpenter and painter would be able to produce this device based on detailed description and drawing. - Multiple shapes, sizes,
FIG. 1 ,FIG. 4 ,FIG. 4B ,FIG. 5 finishesFIG. 2B and combinations thereof along with multiplepossible surfaces 8 for application make the possibilities of shuffling & reconfiguring virtually limitlessFIG. 6 {FIG. 6 shows just one example}. Virtually any clean, firm, smooth, semi smooth surface can receive the device - For the temporary or semi permanent version a person would select from sizes available from manufacturer or reference manufacturer suggested design layout included in packaging, measure the
wall 8 orsurface 8 that the mouldings would be applied to. Apply the measurements to the “easy design kit” included with purchase in the packaging. Draw or mark moulding design layout using manufacturer's pre-designed layout or by referencing various pre-sized moulding options and create their own layout. Based on the “easy design kit”, measure and mark thewall 8 or surface to indicate desired placement of deviceFIG. 1 . Removeprotective backing 12 from the adhesive 10 and place mouldingFIG. 1 ,FIG. 2 ,FIG. 4 ,FIG. 4B ,FIG. 5 on desired surface according to markings made on the surface. Apply gentle pressure to all theedges 4, of deviceFIG. 1 ,FIG. 2 ,FIG. 4 ,FIG. 4B ,FIG. 5 . For a permanent solution, follow the above steps and caulk along theedge 4 oredges 4, of the device which are adjacent to the applied tosurface 8 using a caulking gun or “toothpaste” tube type caulking dispenser, use clear caulking if no painting is desired. Paint or stain moulding if unfinished version of deviceFIG. 1 ,FIG. 2 ,FIG. 4 ,FIG. 4B ,FIG. 5 is being used. - The invention
FIG. 1 ,FIG. 2 ,FIG. 4 ,FIG. 4B ,FIG. 5 can be used by interior designers, set designers, home staging professionals, seasonal decorators, store vendors, retail/temporary store displays, photographic backdrops, and contractors etc. It can also be used onvarious surfaces 8 such as ceilings, doors, glass, cabinets, exterior walls and surfaces, etc. - Rather than paying a carpenter and painter to permanently effect a structure or
surface 8, this productFIG. 1 provides an economical way for an individual, particularly a renter, to decorate in an architectural fashion with the unique feature of being able to remove the mouldings/wainscoting/picture frame wainscoting/architectural detail deviceFIG. 1 ,FIG. 2 ,FIG. 4 ,FIG. 4B ,FIG. 5 ,FIG. 6 without damage to thesurface 8 or the device and thereby being able to reinstall the device in anew location 8. - The current system for installing moulding/wainscoting/picture frame wainscoting/architectural details is that it requires someone with skill to install it, it is permanent and expensive. The invention
FIG. 1 ,FIG. 2 improves on this because the mouldings/wainscoting/picture frame wainscoting/architectural details of the deviceFIG. 1 ,FIG. 2 are prefabricated, have a temporary self adhesive 10 on the backFIG. 2 allowing for easy removal from thesurface 8 with minimal to zero damage to thesurface 8 and because they are prefabricated it greatly reduces the cost to the consumer. The only tools required for installation of the deviceFIG. 1 ,FIG. 2 are a tape measure or ruler and pencil or pen. There are known prefabricated systems, however they are complicated with many parts, required much more time and effort to install, are more cumbersome and costly to ship due to size and weight. They are not nearly as user friendly. An adolescent could install the inventionFIG. 1 ,FIG. 2 safely without any help. Prior art does not have options that apply to doors, cabinets, glass, stone, ceilings or other firm surfaces. - The above description of specific embodiments has been given by way of example. From the disclosure given, those skilled in the art will not only understand the general inventive concept and its attendant advantages, but will also find apparent various changes and modifications to the structures and methods disclosed. For example, one of ordinary skill in the art will appreciate that the frame
FIG. 1 could comprise four sides or five or six sides or be rounded 26 or curved 20. A device could be thicker or thinner. And yet another example, a variety ofangles 24 could be used at mitered joints with a variety offastening options 18, or a device could be carved or extruded in onepiece 22.
