Abstract
The invention is a corner panel assembly for mounting at the intersection of at least two surfaces. In detail, the panel assembly includes a panel for mounting in the corner, with the panel having a first principle surface facing the corner and a second principle surface facing away from the corner. An attachment fitting is mounted to one of the surfaces in proximity to the corner. A cord at least partially incorporating and elastic element has a first end attachable to the attachment fitting and a fastening assembly for attaching the second end of the cord to the panel in proximity to the center thereof.
Claims7
A corner panel assembly for mounting over the corner formed by the intersection of at least two walls and for mounting thereto, said assembly comprising:
- a panel for mounting in the corner, said panel having a first principle surface for facing the corner and a second principle surface for facing away from the corner, said panel being adapted to contact the at least two walls;
- an attachment fitting for mounting to one of the walls in proximity to the corner;
- a cord having a first specific diameter at least partially incorporating an elastic element having first and second ends, said first end attachable to said attachment fitting;
- and
- means to attach said second end of said cord to said panel in proximity to the center thereof;
- said means comprises:
- a plurality of beads mounted on at least a portion of said cord including said second end thereof, said beads having a second specific diameter;
- said panel having a hole with a third specific diameter, said third specific diameter greater than said second specific diameter;
- said panel having a slot in communication with said hole in said panel, said slot having a width greater than said first specific diameter, but less than said second specific diameter;
- and
- said panel having a dimpled surface in the area of said slot, causing said slot to be concave on said second principle surface.
A corner panel assembly for mounting over a corner space defined in part by a pair of vertical side walls and a ceiling intersecting at a point and for mounting to said side walls and ceiling, the panel assembly comprising:
- a triangular shaped panel for mounting in the corner, said panel when mounted having a first vertex in contact at the junction of said side walls, a second vertex in contact at the junction of one of said side walls and said ceiling and a third vertex in contact with the other side wall and ceiling forming a three sided pyramid shaped space between the panel and said side walls and ceiling, said panel having a first principle surface for facing the corner and a second principle surface for facing away from the corner;
- an attachment fitting for mounting to one of the walls in proximity to the intersecting point;
- a cord having a specific diameter and at least partially incorporating an elastic element having first and second ends, said first end attachable to said attachment fitting;
- and
- means to attach said second end of said cord to said panel in proximity to the center thereof, said means comprising:
- said cord having a first specific diameter;
- said means to attach said second end of said cord to said panel comprises:
- a plurality of beads mounted on at least a portion of said cord including said second end thereof, said beads having a second specific diameter;
- said panel having a hole with a third specific diameter, said third specific diameter greater than said second specific diameter;
- said panel having a slot in communication with said hole in said panel, said slot having a width greater than said first specific diameter, but less than said second specific diameter;
- and
- said panel having a dimpled surface in the area of said slot, causing said slot to be concave on said second principle surface.
