Abstract
A decor apparatus is based on a flexible panel. In the apparatus, a support structure includes a rail, and a flexible panel having an edge is attached to the rail, with the attachment between the rail and the edge including a plurality of discrete attachment points. A trim piece for the flexible panel is connected to the rail from between the attachment points. The trim piece overlays the attachment between the rail and the edge outside of a plane of the flexible panel.
Claims14
A flexible panel decor device comprising:
- an elongate rigid support extending along a longitudinal axis;
- an elongate trim piece extending along the longitudinal axis and supported by the rigid support, the trim piece having:
- a planar portion;
- a curved portion extending laterally outward from the rigid support and planar portion terminating in a leading edge positioned vertically above the planar portion;
- an inner side adjacent to the leading edge, and
- an outer side opposite the inner side;
- and
- a first flexible panel directly connected to the inner side of the curved portion of the trim piece adjacent the leading edge, the first flexible panel abuttingly engaging and extending over the trim piece leading edge in a direction away from the rigid support.

- an elongate rigid support extending along a longitudinal axis;
- an elongate trim piece extending along the longitudinal axis and supported by the rigid support, the trim piece having:
- a planar portion;
- a curved portion extending laterally outward from the rigid support and planar portion terminating in a leading edge positioned vertically above the planar portion;
- an inner side,
- an outer side opposite the inner side;
- and
- a leg portion orthogonally oriented relative to the planar portion, the leg portion having first and second walls defining an elongate open slot extending along the longitudinal axis;
- and
- a first flexible panel frictionally engaging the leg portion first and second walls in the elongate open slot and extending across the planar portion to conceal substantially all of the trim piece when viewed at an angle orthogonal to the first flexible panel.
