FLEXIBLE MOLDING STRIP HAVING INSERTED DECORATIVE CORD

摘要

A flexible ornamental or protective plastic molding strip has an inserted flexible decorative cord also formed from flexible plastic. The flexible molding strip which serves as a base strip has an exposed outer surface that is usually smoothly countered but can, if desired, be provided with longitudinally extending depressed or projecting surface decoration. In the exposed outer surface are one or more longitudinally extending grooves. Into each groove is inserted one of the flexible decorative cords, preferably of a color selected to provide an appealing visual effect, usually a color which contrasts with the color of the base strip itself. The decorative cord can be easily inserted into the groove by pressing it into place either at the factory or at the job site, to harmonize with the decor. The cord can be removed and replaced at any time desired, yet will be held securely in the groove by its contact with the walls of the groove during normal use.
