No. 7,123, filed Jan. 30, 1970 now abandoned.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION This invention relates to a siding unit for a building or similar structure and specifically concerns a means for attaching a plurality of siding units, each comprising an outer panel and a backing board, to a frame structure.
The siding unit of this invention represents an improvement to the siding unit forrnin g the subject matter of my US. Pat. No. 3,485,004, granted Dec. 23, 1969. The upper marginal portion of the outer panel of the unit includes a generally horizontal web which extends rearwardly of the face portion of the unit and which terminates at the rear edge thereof in an upturned generally vertical lip. A retainer part extends below the web of the upper marginal portion and forms means for interlocking with the lower marginal or butt portion of the outer panel of the siding unit in the upper adjacent siding course. The backing'board of the siding unit is positioned at the back face of the outer panel and includes upper and lower marginal portions. The lower marginal portion of the backing board cooperates with the upper margin of the backing board in the lower adjacent siding course. The vertical lip at the upper margin of the outer panel of the siding unit is positioned and retained between the upper marginal portion of its backing board and the lower marginal portion of the backing board in the upper adjacent siding unit course. The outer panel is retained in position by securement means, such as a nail, driven through the lower marginal portion of the backing board in the upper adjacent siding course and into the underlying frame structure.
In the siding units of this invention, the outer panels are not nailed to the building, but instead are hung on their respective backing boards which are nailed at their lower margins to the building structure. Each backing board cooperates with the backing board in the lower adjacent course and thereby serves to hold the outer panel of the siding unit inthe lower adjacent course against its backing board. The interlocked outer panels of adjacent siding units, by not being directly nailed or similarly secured to the building, are free to expand or contract during use. To reduce the tendency for the outer panels of the siding units to warp during use, the face portion of each outer panel is spaced from its backing board at one or more locations so as to define air spaces between the panel and board. These air spaces reduce the temperature differential between the exposed front face and the rear face of the outer panel.
The face portion of each siding unit outer panel may include two or more generally parallel offset face parts. The upper of the face parts has a lower edge which extends forwardly of the upper edge of the adjacent lower panel face and which is connected thereto by an integral web. The upper edges of the panel face parts preferably lie in a generally vertical plane and contact the panels backing board, thereby reducing any tendency for the siding unit to vibrate in the wind and create undesirable noise effects.
Accordingly, it is an object of this invention to provide siding units for a building or similar structure in which each siding unit has a backing board which is secured to the building and which serves to position and hold parts of the siding unit in the lower adjacent siding course against the building.
It is another object of this invention to provide building siding units each having an outer panel and a backing board which serves to retain the outer panel of the siding unit of the lower adjacent course in position and which is spaced from the exposed face portion of its outer panel.
It is a further object of this invention to provide a building siding unit which is of economical construction and which can be rapidly attached to a building or similar structure.
Another object of this invention is to provide a building siding unit having a panel which is attachable to a building structure and which is engageable therewith at a plurality of points along its face portion so as to reduce any tendency of the panel to vibrate when subjected to wind or similar climatic conditions.
Further objects of this invention will become apparent upon a reading of the inventions description.

Upper marginal portion 54 of the backing board includes a side wall 58 which is set in from front face 60 of the backing board and separated therefrom by a shoulder 62. Lower marginal portion 56 of the backing board includes a side wall 64 which is set in from rear face 66 of the board and separated therefrom by a shoulder 68. Backing board 12 is positioned at the back side of face portion 16 with its lower marginal portion 56 overlapping in complemental cooperation the upper marginal portion 54 of the backing board 12 of the siding unit in the lower adjacent course. Vertical lip 36 of the upper marginal portion 14 of the siding unit panel in the lower adjacent course is positioned between side walls 58 and 64 of the lapped backing board marginal portions 54 and 56 and is retained therein by means of nails 52 or similar securement means which are driven through the overlapping backing board adjacently above its lower marginal portion 56 and into the inner building siding 48. Shoulder 62 at the upper marginal portion 54 of the overlapped backing board 12 extends to and preferably abuts the lower surface of web 35 of its outer panel 10. Rear face 45 of each panel part 44 is spaced from the front face 60 of its backing board 12 so as to define one or more air spaces 59 located between each outer panel 10 and backing board 12 of a siding unit.
To attach each siding unit heretofore described to inner building siding 48, a backing board 12 is first positioned against the building siding 48 with its lower marginal portion 56 overlapping web 35 and lip 36 of the upper marginal portion 14 of the underlying outer panel and the upper marginal portion 54 of the underlying backing board in the lower adjacent siding course. With either the lower end of marginal portion 54 of the overlapping backing board 12 abutting web 35 of the outer panel in the lower siding course, a shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, or shoulder 68 at the lower marginal'portion 56 of the overlapping backing board abutting the upper end of marginal portion 54 of the backing board in the lower adjacent siding course, nails 52 are driven through the overlapping backing board adjacently above its lower marginal portion 56 and into building siding 48. Butt portion 18 of an outer panel 10 is then positioned against the outer panel of the siding unit in the lower adjacent siding course and slid upwardly causing its lip 42 to be received within channel 32 of retainer part'24 of the lower adjacent outer panel and interlocked therewith. The upper marginal portion 14 of the outer panel 10'is then swung inwardly until its web 35 is positioned over shoulder 62 of the upper marginal portion 54 of the adjacent backing board 12. Outer panel 10 can now be released since it will remain positioned against the adjacent backing board 12. The heretofore described assembly procedure is repeated for another siding unit beginning with another backing board 12 being positioned against building siding 48 and having its lower marginal portion 56 overlapping the upper marginal portion 54 of the backing board in the adjacent lower course.
As best illustrated in FIG. 2, it is to be noted that with outer panel 10 positioned against-its'backing board 12, edge 47 and upper margin 20 of the face portion of the panel contact outer surface 60 of the backing board and add rigidity to the assembled siding unit. his to be understood that retainer part 24 of the outer panel 10 of the siding units need not be limited to the doublefold type illustrated, but can instead consist of other inverted channel-defining means such as the clip-type retainer illustrated and described in my US. Pat. No. 3,485,004. It is also to be understood thatthe multiplepart face portion of the outer panel of thisinvention would have application in other forms and types of siding, including siding which is attached to a building structure without a backing board.
Each siding unit shown in FIGS. 3 and 4 comprises an outer panel and a backing board 72. Outer panel 70 can be formed of a plmtic material and extruded into shape. Backing board 72 can be formed of 'the same materials as the backing board 12 of the aforedescribed embodiment shown in FIGS. 1 and 2 is formed of. Each outer panel 70 includes an upper marginal portion 74, a face portion 76 depending from marginal portion 74, and a butt portion 78 extending from the lower margin 80 of face portion 76. Face portion 76 of outer panel 70 has an upper margin 82 which parallels its lower margin 80 and includes an integral retainer part 84 which extends along its upper margin 82. Retainer part 84 preferably comprises a downtumed, forwardly projecting extension which, in cooperation with the remainder of the face portion, defines an inverted channel 88. Channel 88 has a narrow restricted lower opening 90.
Upper marginal portion 74 of outer panel 70 in-- cludes a substantially horizontal web 92 which extends rearwardly from the upper edge of retainer part 84 and which terminates in an upturned, substantially vertical lip 94 located rearwardly of face portion 76. Butt portion 78 of outer panel 70 includes a web 96 which extends rearwardly from the lower margin 80 of the face portion and which terminates in an upturned,
preferably forwardly inclined lip 98. Lip 98 of butt portion 78 is adapted to be inserted upwardly into retainer part channel 88 of a siding unit in the adjacent lower siding course.
Backing board 72 is positioned at the back of face portion 76 of its outer panel 70 with its lower end face 100 abutting and resting upon web 92 of the outer panel 70 of the siding unit in the lower adjacent siding course. The lower marginal portion 101 of the backing board is positioned forwardly of lip 94 of the outer panel 70 of the lower adjacent siding course and serves, when nails 103 or similar securement means are driven through the backing board adjacently above lip 94 of the outer panel and into building siding 104, to cause the lower marginal portion 101 of the backing board to urge lip 94 of the. lower adjacent siding panel against the building siding. As best shown in FIG. 4, each outer panel 70 is positioned against its backing board 72 by having its butt portion lip 98 inserted into channel 88 of the outer panel in the lower adjacent siding course, and its upper marginal portion web 92 resting upon upper end face 106 of the backing board. The thickness of each backing board 72 at its upper end face 106 is preferably substantially equal to the distance between rear face 108 of outer panel face portion 76 and rear face 1 of outer panel lip 94 at web 92 so that with lip 94 contacting the outer surface of building siding 104, as shown in FIG. 4, the upper marginal portion 107 of the underlying backing board 72 will be positioned against the outer surface of the building siding.
The method of attaching the siding units shown in FIGS. 3 and 4 above described to building siding 104 is similar to the method described for attaching the building siding units shown in FIGS. 1 and 2. A backing board 72 is first positioned against building siding 104 with its lower end face 100 resting upon web 92 and its lower marginal portion 101 positioned in front of lip 94 of the underlying outer panel 70 in the lower adjacent siding course. Nails 103 are driven through the backing board adjacently above lip 94 of the underlying outer panel 70 in the lower adjacent siding course and into building siding 104, as shown in FIGS. 3 and 4, to anchor the underlying outer panel in position. The butt portion 78 of an unattached outer panel 70 is then positioned against the outer panel of the siding unit in the lower adjacent siding course and slid upwardly causing its lip 98 to be received within channel 88 of the retainer part 84 of the lower adjacent outer panel and interlocked therewith. The upper marginal portion 74 of the unattached outer panel 70 is then swung inwardly until its web 92 is positioned over and rests upon upper end face 106 of its backing board 72. The unattached outer panel 70 can now be released since it will remain positioned against its backing board. Another backing board 72 is now positioned against building siding 104 with its lower end face 100 resting upon web 92 of the last positioned outer panel 70. The assembly sequence is then repeated until all siding units are attached to the building siding. As shown in FIGS. 3 and 4, rear face 108 of each outer panel 70 is spaced outwardly from front face 112 of its backing board 72 and defines, in cooperation with the backing board, an air space 1 14 located between parts of the face portion of the outer panel and the backing board.
The backing boards 12 and 72 of this invention are positioned in generally the same plane when attached to the building, thus allowing butt portions 18 and 78 of outer panels 10 and of the siding units to be of reduced dimensions at webs 40 and 96, and thereby conserving material and reducing the cost of the siding unit.
It is to be understood that the invention is not to be limited to the details herein given, but may be modified within the scope of the appended claims.
