Abstract

A mounting module for a rope light system which easily attaches to the surfaces of an interior corner of a structure that can retain and support a rope light without the need of a junction or brake in the rope light by holding the rope light in a flexure curve that does not stress the LEDS or electrical conductors of the rope light.

Claims (19)

1. A corner mount module conforming to an interior corner between two intersecting walls of a structure, comprising:

a pair of matching curvilinear surfaces conforming to the angles of the interior corner;

a channel extending the length of said interior corner mount module having a first arm extending along a first of the walls and a second arm extending along a second of the walls, said channel being open to the side opposite the walls;

a rail face extending the length of said interior corner mount module;

a light source retained in said channel by said rail face whereby light emanates through said open channel; and

a fastener accommodation located in a matching surface.

2. The interior corner mount module of claim 1 , wherein a pair of rail faces are included, one on each side of said channel.

3. The interior corner mount module of claim 2 , wherein the pair of rail faces are symmetrically similar.

4. The interior corner mount module of claim 2 , wherein the pair of rail faces are symmetrically dissimilar.

5. The interior corner mount module of claim 1 , further comprising a coupling extension attached to one of the proximal end of said rail faces.

6. The interior corner mount module of claim 1 , further comprising a receiving cavity attached to one of the proximal ends of said rail faces.

7. The interior corner mount module of claim 1 , wherein the pair of conforming angles constitutes a substantially ninety degree angle.

8. The interior corner mount module of claim 1 , wherein the light source comprises a rope light.

9. The interior corner mount module of claim 8 , wherein the fastener accommodations are substantially occluded by the rope light.

10. The interior corner mount module of claim 1 , wherein the fastener accommodation comprises a hole.

11. The interior corner mount module of claim 1 , wherein the interior corner mount module is comprised by a pair of twin sections.

12. The interior corner mount module of claim 11 , wherein the twin sections are identical.

13. The twin section of claim 12 , further comprising an alignment guide.

14. The twin section of claim 12 , further comprising a tension tab and catch.
