Definitions
- ABSTRACT An elongated, one-piece laminated fiberglass molded siding component having a textured exterior surface and having a rearwardly projecting integral network of knife-like rib members that extend longitudinally and transversely thereof for support and rigidification purposes.
- the siding is characterized by the fact that the thickness thereof varies throughout for the dual purpose of adding strength in key areas and for the purpose of minimizing gaps in other areas of overlap, for example.
- Field of the Invention lies in the field of siding of the type normally applied to a house or other type of construction to protect the exterior thereof from the elements.
- the aluminum siding so referred to is normally made by a roll forming process and is factory painted so as to require substantially no maintenance during the life of the installation.
- plastic material has been used as a substitute in some instances for aluminum siding with such plastic siding being extruded in a continuous fashion and then being cut to the desired length.
- siding of this nature can be pigmented so as to be extruded in the requisite color, thus avoiding the need for painting.
- siding of this type has obvious advantages, such as elimination of maintenance and pre-painting, the same, by its very nature, has certain inherent disadvantages.
- the aluminum siding being of metal, can be damaged and dented by stones or hail, for example, and repairing such dents is difficult.
- both aluminum and plastic siding of the type known heretoforeare made by what may be described as a continuous process that involves either roll forming or extrusion it is not possible to provide such siding with transverse support that would run between the upper and lower edges thereof so as to provide support against dents and the like.
- a molded siding panel that is, in effect, made up of a laminated, tinted structure so as to have a strong concealed surface for reinforcing purposes while yet having a smooth exterior that requires no further treatment following the molding, with the panel retaining its color throughout the life thereof following installation.
- molding permits a thickness of the panel to be selectively varied to achieve maximum operating characteristics both during installation and following application thereof.
- the thickness of the longitudinal ends is normally reduced in both the vertical and horizontal planes so that the distracting effect of overlap both horizontally and vertically is minimized by this reduced thickness construction at the overlapping ends.
- FIG. 1 is a perspective view of a pair of adjacent panels showing longitudinally abutting ends in spaced apart relationship just prior to being overlapped.
- FIG. 2 is a plan view looking at the underside of the panel.
- FIGS. 3 and 4 are sectional views illustrating the vertical position of the panel.
- FIG. -5 is a horizontal section through the panel taken on the line 55 of FIG. 2.
- FIG. 6 is an elevational view showing the reduced horizontal gap that occurs at the point of normal overlap.
- each siding element 10 includes a panel portion 1 1 and a rearwardly 'projecting'network of support ribs 13 that include transversely extending support ribs 13,13 on the rear face of panel 11 and longitudinally extending ribs 14 and 15 that extend longitudinally thereof adjacent the opposed longitudinal edges as clearly shown in FIGS. 1 and 2 of the drawings, with the rib 15 terminating in a butt flange 16 while the ribs 13,13 have further extensions 13a that connect with a return flange 17 that, in turn, terminates in a nailing hem 18, with the usual groove 19 (see FIG. 4) being defined along the top edge for reception of the butt flange 16 as clearly shown in the drawings.
- each of the ribs 13,13 are of blade-like construction so as to serve the dual purpose of providing maximum rigidity against transverse forces, while simultaneously serving to space the panel portion 11 at a further distance from the wall than would otherwise be the case.
- each end of the panel includes an L-shaped extension 20 made up of a vertical portion 21 that is coextensive with the panel 11 and a horizontal portion 22 that, in effect, is a continuation of the lower rib 15.
- the rib 21 is of reduced thickness and may be feathered to a knife edge at the point of overlap with the next longitudinally adjacent panel.
- the portion 22 of each end is reduced in thickness so that when it is vertically overlapped as shown in FIG. 6, a minimum gap (indicated by the letter G) will exist.
- FIG. 6 the overlap is shown being made with respect to a panel whose end has been cut so that the normal portions 21 and 22 are not provided. It will be noted in this regard that Applicant obtains a reduction in gap size even though a cut end" is employed as shown in the left panel 16 of FIG. 6 for overlapping by the factory end of the right panel 16 in FIG. 6.
- the materials are preferably of the type referred to and disclosed in the aforesaid copending application of the present applicant, which application is entitled Molded Siding and was filed Oct. 3, 1969 as Ser. No. 863,429.
- the materials will include a fiberglass base portion 30 (see FIG. that has been laid over a pigmented exterior surface 31 which may or may not be textured for aesthetic purposes with the fiberglass being smooth and also defining the exterior surface 11a of the panel as clearly shown in FIG. 4.
- An elongate, unitary siding component of the character described, comprising;
- the device of claim 1 further characterized by the fact that said projecting ends include a vertical panel extension and a horizontal panel extension connected therewith at right angles.
- the device of claim 2 further characterized by the fact that said vertical and horizontal panels are reduced in cross sectional thickness with respect to the cross sectional thickness of said panel.
- a unitary siding panel of the character described, comprising;
- integral support means defined by 1. at least two ribs that project rearwardly from the rear surface of said sheet with said ribs extending transversely of said sheet to a point substantially adjacent said opposed longitudinal edges;
- said sheet having at least one rearwardly projecting longitudinally extending rib provided adjacent one said longitudinal edge, whereby said panel is stabilized against vertical and horizontal deflection during manufacturing, shipping, and installation thereof;
