Abstract
A decorative molding system removably installed at a ceiling and a vertical wall. The molding system includes a thin molding strip of flexible plastic and a plurality of flexible plastic clips attached at spaced points along the back surface points of the molding strip. A wall track of flexible plastic is mounted adjacent the upper edge of the track on one of the ceiling and said vertical wall. Interengagement is provided on the free end of the clip and the track such that when the thin molding strip with the flexible plastic clips attached thereto is mounted on the track by relative movement, the free end of the clip is moved into the gap and the forward leading edge of the track is engaged. At the juncture of adjacent molding strips, one of the molding strips is provided with a complementary shaped plastic segment spaced from the internal surface of the molding strip to provide a cavity. The other of the molding strips is provided with an axial plastic segment that has a projection of the same configuration adapted to extend into the cavity of an adjacent strip so that adjacent molding strips abut one another with the segment that extends into the cavity of an adjacent strip.
