Abstract (en)

[origin: WO2010139990A1] The invention relates to a floor cove corner former (10, 40) for creating a corner between lengths of coving material (35) running along the wall-floor interface of two adjacent differently angled walls (31, 32, 61, 62). There is provided first and second portions (11, 12, 41, 42) each having an upper section (20, 49) that matches the profile of the walls and a lower section (21, 50) that defines the desired cove shape. The former (10, 40) also includes a floor engaging part (51) defined by the lower ends of the first and second portions (11,12, 41,42)) and wall engaging means (14, 44), defined by the upper sections of the first and second portions, which fit in or around the apex of the corner formed between the walls (31, 32, 61, 62). The upper and lower portions (20, 21, 49, 50) of each section define a surface (13, 43) to which the floor covering material (35) is mounted and the upper portions of those surfaces are arranged such that the angle between them corresponds to the angle between the two walls. In a preferred arrangement the lower portions (21, 50) are arcuate such that the covering material (35) mounted thereto adopts a curved profile. In one embodiment the former (10) is adapted to be mounted in an internal corner (30), but in an alternative embodiment the former (40) is adapted to be mounted around an external corner (60).
