Abstract:
1. A decorative wrap for a support, comprising: plural segments each having an exterior surface, an interior surface, and opposing beveled edges on said interior surfaces, said plural segments being arranged in adjacent relationship to one to another, said plural segments including two opposing outermost segments each having a distal end, said plural segments forming an enclosure when said beveled edges of adjacent plural segments are brought into engagement and said distal ends of said outermost segments are secured together; tape applied to joints between said plural segments to secure said plural segments in adjacent relationship; and a pre-milled mechanical fastener at said distal ends for holding said outermost segments together wherein said mechanical fastener includes a resilient projection formed on one of said distal ends and a corresponding recess formed on said inner surface of said outermost segment adjacent to the other of said distal ends, wherein said resilient projection is adapted to be displaced to form a frictional fit between said outermost segments when said outermost segments are pivotably engaged to form said enclosure, wherein said distal ends each have a face, and wherein said faces include a bevel so that said mechanical fastener is unexposed for a finished appearance of said enclosure as viewed from said exterior surface when said projection and said recess are brought together at a right angle.
