Abstract
A bracket designed to reduce mounting system failures was designed, having a mounting surface and an angled clip on the lower edge of the mounting surface providing backward pressure for any hardware mounted onto the bracket. The sides of the mounting surface may include cut-outs for aligning multiple brackets. An optional screw-mounting system comprising corresponding holes in the clip, or a tab-mounting system, provide for connecting accessories to the bracket. A cornice centered around a spine element mounted to the bracket. The cornice has a front face and returns attached to either side of the front face, forming the structure. The spine is designed to fit into a plurality of brackets bent to provide backward pressure on the cornice, pulling it toward a mounting surface. The cornice is mounted by fixing the brackets onto a mounting surface and placing the spine of the cornice onto the brackets.
