Abstract
A corner key for a fenestration trim assembly includes a sloped bearing surface configured to bias a first lineal toward a second lineal about the longitudinal axis of the second lineal.
Claims18
A fenestration trim assembly configured to attach to a fenestration frame, comprising:
- a trim frame having an opening defining a trim plane, including at least a first lineal member, a second lineal member, each lineal member having a hollow interior, a first facing wall including an interior wall surface and a second facing wall spaced from and generally parallel to the first facing wall, the first facing walls and the second facing walls being substantially parallel to the trim plane;
- a corner key operatively received within the hollow interior coupling the first lineal member to the second lineal member;
- the corner key having a center line adjacent the first facing wall and a first sloped bearing surface sloping and extending from the center line and facing the first interior wall surface of the first facing wall of the first lineal member;
- a fastener extending through the first facing wall of the first lineal member connecting the first lineal member to the first sloped bearing surface of the corner key, the fastener biasing the first lineal member about the center line.
A fenestration trim assembly including a first lineal member having a first longitudinal axis and a second lineal member having a second longitudinal axis, a universal key operatively configured to connect the first lineal member and the second lineal member at a first angular orientation and a second different angular orientation between the first longitudinal axis and the second longitudinal axis, wherein the universal key has a first leg positioned with the first lineal member and a second leg positioned within the second lineal member, wherein the first leg and the second leg have the same fixed relationship to one another when the first and second lineal members are at a first angular orientation and at the second angular orientation.
