Abstract

A wall molding for suspended ceiling systems has a self-aligning feature adapted to locate one end of a piece being installed on the end of a previously installed piece so that an installation of high quality workmanship is quickly obtained. The self-aligning feature is in the form of a tongue extending longitudinally beyond a faux end and adapted to nest in the previously installed piece. The tongue fits within the spaces between hems on the longitudinal edges of legs of a right angle cross-section and the opposed legs so that the tongue is laterally restrained in the planes of the legs and is longitudinally restrained by abutting end edges.
