Kit of Parts for Trimming Step Edges

摘要

An apparatus for trimming step edges includes an elongate member forming a nose piece for mounting at an edge of a horizontal existing surface. The member comprises a rear surface, a front face, a top surface extending therebetween, and a groove in the front face of the member. The groove has first and second side walls extending from first and second side edges at the front face and leading to a base recessed therefrom. The member is supported by screws received in the groove in a mounted position wherein the top surface of the member is spaced above the existing surface so that a thickness of a covering material, which disposed on the existing surface for covering same, is located between the top surface and the existing surface. Also, a lighting element is inserted in the groove for illuminating an area adjacent the edge of the existing surface.

主权项

1. Apparatus for trimming a step edge for example a tread of a staircase, a step at an edge of a sunken floor, or a top edge of a short wall, comprising:
a vertical riser board meeting a horizontal existing surface at or adjacent an edge of the existing surface; a facing material covering the riser board; an elongate member forming a nose piece above the facing material for mounting at the edge of the existing surface, the member having:
a vertical rear surface along the riser board;a front face defining an attractive face that is opposite the rear surface;a horizontal top surface extending between the rear surface and the front face;an upper edge at a junction of the top surface and the front face;a lower edge at a bottom of the front face along the facing material;a continuously longitudinally extending groove in the front face of the member, the groove having:
a base recessed from the front face;a first side edge in the front face of the member at a position spaced from the upper edge of the member and a second side edge on said front face at a position spaced from the lower edge of the member;a first side wall extending from the base to the first side edge and a second side wall extending from the base to the second side edge; and a series of screws in the groove at spaced positions along the base thereof; the screws fastening the member in a mounted position in which the top surface of the member is spaced above the existing surface such that a thickness of a covering material which is disposed on the existing surface for covering the existing surface is located between the top surface of the member and the existing surface.
