Abstract: A molding strip assembly is provided to secure a flexible covering on a support surface. The assembly includes a molding element attachable to the surface, and a mounting element that snap-fits into and is secured by the molding element. Each molding element has a retaining channel to lockably receive a latching structure that projects downwardly from a support wall of the mounting element. The covering may extend along the support wall and be retained by the latching structure. Prefabricated contour elements may be used at angular intersections of two or more molding elements, and an optional base molding element may be used to form routing channels for electrical wires. Molding strip assemblies are combined into framework systems to cover wall or other surface areas with great flexibility of design.

Abstract: An adjustable retaining strap for eyeglasses includes an elongated tubular member formed of a flexible resilient material. End portions of the tubular member are reverse-fold to define end loops that are retained by end sleeves each having a passageway therethrough. An end plug member is matably received in the end portion of the tubular member and is sized to prevent withdrawal of each tube member from its respective retaining sleeve. A central portion of the tubular member between the end loops may be configured in a central loop received by a central sleeve. A central bead may be received on the bight of the central loop to prevent its withdrawal from the central sleeve.

Abstract: A canopy structure is provided and includes a framework unit and a flexible covering. The framework unit is formed by a plurality of upright corner members and a plurality of roof support members that are pivotally connected at the top ends of the corner members and, in an erected position, extend upwardly and inwardly to a central apex where they are pivotally connected to one another. The roof support members are formed of extendable sections which preferably telescope with respect to one another so that the framework unit may move into a collapsed state with the corner support and roof support members oriented in closely spaced, parallel relation. Latches are provided to prevent the framework unit from collapsing from the erected position. Constraining and support structure, preferably in the form of scissor assemblies, interconnect adjacent corner support members to prevent them from moving apart past the erect state.
