Corneraide device and method

A device for forming the intersection between first, second and third surfaces, including, hub means having a substantially planar, triangular face, and first, second and third elongated web means of substantially planar configuration on respective edges of said triangular face and extending therefrom along three straight or curvilinear lines defined by the intersections of respective pairs of said first, second and third surfaces.

A device for forming the intersection between first, second and third surfaces, including, hub means having a substantially planar, triangular face, and first, second and third web means of substantially planar configuration operatively secured to respective edges of said triangular face, said first and second web means extending therefrom along two of the three straight or curvilinear lines defined by the intersections of respective pairs of said first, second and third surfaces.

A device for covering corners formed by the intersection of two or more non-parallel surfaces, including a substantially planar, elongated web member having opposite first and second edges, first bead means on said first edge and second bead means on said second edge, a first attachment member operatively connected to said first bead means and a second attachment member operatively connected to said second bead means whereby said first and second attachment members are utilized to attach said device to surfaces defining said corner.

In a method of finishing a joint at the intersection of two or more non-parallel surfaces, the steps of:

• cutting to an appropriate length an elongated member having a substantially planar central web with bead means along two parallel edges thereof and flange members associated with each of said bead means;
• affixing said elongated member to said surfaces in operative alignment with said surfaces;
• faying formable means onto one or more of said flange members to provide a finished surface which smoothly tapers from the corresponding of said two or more surfaces to the corresponding of said bead means, said central web permitting said faying to be accomplished with negligible disposition of said formable means on other of said flange members.

In a construction for forming joints at the intersection of a first surface and a second surface not parallel to the first surface, the combination of:

• first and second flange means having inner edges thereon, said flange means being juxtaposed with the corresponding first and second surfaces, respectively;
• first and second bead means operatively attached to said inner edges of said first and second flange means;
• and substantially planar web means disposed between said first and second bead means and operatively attached thereto.
