Abstract
There is provided a cove molding cover for use in routing and protecting electrical cables and cords along the inside corners of buildings. The cove molding cover assembly includes clips which are attached to one or more of the surfaces defining the corner, and a cover strip which is snapped into place upon the clips. Each of the cover strips has arcuate lips running along its margins, while the clips have circular beads extending from their sides. The beads are insertible into the lips to attach the cover strip to the clips. Because the beads are free to rotate within the arcuate lips, and because the clips and covers strip are flexible, the entire assembly can be flexed to accommodate any variations or irregularities in the angle between the surfaces defining the corner.
