Abstract
A cornice designed especially for illuminating a wall of a retail store or the like, of knockdown construction for quick and easy erection and demounting. This invention is an improvement over that disclosed and claimed in my U.S. Pat. No. 4,251,855 issued Feb. 17, 1981. Like my patented invention, units in the instant case are tailored to fit a specific installation with a minimum of on site labor and little or no material waste. A major improvement in this case comprises means facilitating multiplying the vertical dimension of a cornice embodying my invention. This is accomplished by nesting together, in upper/lower relation, a pair of similar cornice units, as by interengaging marginal flanges at the upper and lower edges of the respective units. Accidental displacement may be insured against by such means as resilient tangs or prongs on one unit bearing yieldingly against an adjacent face of the mating unit. Security against inadvertent displacement may be insured against by such means as screws used in combination with the resilient elements or alone.
