Problems solved by technology

In the past, the architectural trim pieces made from simulated stone veneer materials have been difficult to install.
The architectural trim pieces have been especially difficult to mount over electrical boxes already installed in walls.
In the past, the installation process has been accompanied by excessive installer time, expense and inconvenience.
Furthermore, in order to install the architectural trim piece in the field, the installers are often required to order special electrical box configurations, thereby adding installation time and cost to the installation process.
Alternatively, the installers must carry a large inventory of specialty boxes and fittings at considerable inventory cost.
While the others have attempted to develop architectural trim pieces capable of a comprehensive range of utilities, they have been deficient in providing effective architectural trim pieces as a convenience to the installers and as a quality product to the consumers.

[0037] Light Fixture Trim Assembly

[0038] A rectangular 8″×10″ light fixture stone veneer trim piece features a stone surface texture that is any one of the types of Cultured Stone® wall veneers, stucco, thin brick or other exterior finishes, as described herein. The Light Fixture Trim Assembly has chamfered edges and an inset grooved border design. The Light Fixture Trim Assembly accommodates both standard round fixture bases and rectangular bases up to 8″ height. In one embodiment, an octagon-shaped orifice is centered and accommodates a standard 3½″×1½″ octagon extension box-type receptacle. An extension box-type receptacle is used in aligning and setting the simulated stone veneer trim piece in place.

Abstract

An architectural trim assembly includes a receptacle and a stone veneer trim piece having an orifice that is configured to hold the receptacle within the orifice.

Description

TECHNICAL FIELD AND INDUSTRIAL APPLICABILITY OF THE INVENTION [0001] The present invention relates to an architectural trim assembly made of a simulated stone veneer material. BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION [0002] Simulated stone veneer products are manufactured, precast artificial stones that are similar in size, shape, texture and color to natural stone. The simulated stone veneer products are used as a lightweight veneer facing on masonry, and on metal framed or wood framed construction. The simulated stone veneer products can be used both for exterior applications such as building walls and for interior applications such as fireplaces. [0003] The simulated stone veneer product is made from Portland cement, aggregate and mineral oxide colors, which is then cured. The simulated stone veneer products are usually lower in cost than the natural stones that they replace, yet provide an aesthetically pleasing appearance. One type of especially aesthetically pleasing simulated stone veneer...
