Baseboard corner

Abstract

A baseboard corner and a method of use thereof for joining adjacent baseboard pieces at the corner of wall surfaces. The baseboard corner includes a trim member and a base member which is integral to the trim member. The trim member can flush mount with the intersection wall surfaces and surfaces of the adjacent baseboard pieces. The base member forms a left bracket and a right bracket for receiving the adjacent baseboard pieces. The baseboard corner eliminates the need for making mitered joints at the intersection of walls.

What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A baseboard corner comprising:
 a trim member having a front face, a rear face, an upper edge, a left edge, a right edge, and a bottom edge;   a base member on the rear face of the trim member, the base member has a rear face, a left face, and a right face; and   a left bracket and a right bracket configured to receive ends of adjacent baseboard pieces.   
     
     
         2 . The baseboard corner according to  claim 1 , wherein the base member is integral with the trim member. 
     
     
         3 . The baseboard corner according to  claim 1 , wherein a left plate extends from the left face of the base member, wherein the left face, a left peripheral portion of the trim member, and the left plate forms the left bracket. 
     
     
         4 . The baseboard corner according to  claim 3 , wherein a right plate extends from the right face of the base member, wherein the right face, a right peripheral portion of the trim member, and the right plate forms the right bracket. 
     
     
         5 . The baseboard corner according to  claim 4 , wherein the left plate and the right plate are continuous with the rare face of the base member. 
     
     
         6 . The baseboard corner according to  claim 1 , wherein a profile of the trim member and the base member corresponds to an intersection wall surface over which the baseboard corner is to be applied, wherein the outer face of the trim member corresponds to outer surfaces of the adjacent baseboard pieces. 
     
     
         7 . A method for installing joining adjacent baseboard pieces at an intersection of adjacent wall surfaces, the method comprises:
 providing a baseboard corner comprising:
 a trim member having a front face, a rear face, an upper edge, a left edge, a right edge, and a bottom edge; 
 a base member on the rear face of the trim member, the base member has a rear face, a left face, and a right face; and 
 a left bracket and a right bracket configured to receive ends of adjacent baseboard pieces. 
   
     
     
         8 . The method according to  claim 7 , wherein the base member is integral with the trim member. 
     
     
         9 . The method according to  claim 7 , wherein a left plate extends from the left face of the base member, wherein the left face, a left peripheral portion of the trim member, and the left plate forms the left bracket. 
     
     
         10 . The method according to  claim 9 , wherein a right plate extends from the right face of the base member, wherein the right face, a right peripheral portion of the trim member, and the right plate forms the right bracket. 
     
     
         11 . The method according to  claim 10 , wherein the left plate and the right plate are continuous with the rare face of the base member. 
     
     
         12 . The method according to  claim 7 , wherein a profile of the trim member and the base member corresponds to an intersection wall surface over which the baseboard corner is to be applied, wherein the outer face of the trim member corresponds to outer surfaces of the adjacent baseboard pieces.
