- This invention relates to a siding unit for a building or like structure.
- the siding unit of this invention comprises an outer panel and a backing board.
- the outer panel includes an upper marginal portion having a rearwardly extending downtumed hook part and a butt portion formed at the lower edge of the panel.
- the butt portion includes an upturned lip which interlocks with the outer panel of the siding unit in the lower adjacent course.
- the backing board has an upper edge which is of a reduced thickness to define a generally vertical lip. The backing board is positioned and secured against the building structure 'with the lower edge of the board resting upon the outer panel of the siding unit in the lower adjacent siding course.
- the outer panel of the siding unit is interlocked at its butt portion with the outer panel of the siding unit in the lower adjacent siding course and swung upwardly and rearwardly against the backing board with the hook part of the panel at its upper marginal portion being snapped over and interlocked with the lip at the upper edge of the backing board.
- the outer panel is mounted to the building structure without the aid of staples, nails or the outer panel or the backing board of the siding unit in the next upper adjacent siding course.
- the siding units of this invention be simply and rapidly applied to a building structure by one workman, even in inclement, windy weather.
- Still another object of this invention is to provide a method for attaching siding units to a building structure in which only the backing boards of the units are secured to the structure and the outer panels of the units are slidable relative to their respective backing boards and to each other.
- FIG. 1 is a fragmentary perspective view of the siding units shown attached to a building structure.
- FIG. 2 is a sectional view of the siding units taken along line 2-2 of FIG. 1.
- Each siding unit 5 includes an outer panel and a cooperating backing board 12.
- Outer panel 10 may be formed by extrusion or from sheet blanks which are shaped by a series of progressing bending or forming dies and may be of a plastic composition, such as polyvinylchloride, or metallic composition, such as aluminum.
- Backing board 12 is preferably formed of a rigid material such as insulative fiber board or a honeycombed light weight plastic.
- Outer panel 10 includes an upper marginal portion 14, a face portion 16 depending from marginal portion 14, and a butt portion 18 extending from the lower edge 20 of face portion 16.
- Face portion 16 includes an integral retainer part 24 which extends along upper marginal portion 14.
- Retainer part 24 preferably comprises a downtumed forwardly projecting double-fold extension having an outer run 26 and a spaced inner run 28.
- a substantially horizontal flange extends rearwardly from the upper edge of outer run 26 and terminates in a downturned generally vertical lip 32.
- Inner run 28 of retainer part 24 in conjunction with face portion 16 defines an inverted channel 34.
- web 30 and lip 32 in conjunctionwith face portion 16 form a hook means.
- retainer part 24 may be in the form of a clip such as that shown in FIG. 3 of U. S. Pat. No. 3,485,004.
- Butt portion 18 of outer panel 10 includes a web which extends rearwardly from lower edge 20 of the face portion and which terminates in an upturned and preferably forwardly inclined lip 42. Lip 42 of the butt portion is adapted to be inserted upwardly into the retainer part channel 34 of an overlapped outer panel 10 of a siding unit in the adjacent lower siding course.
- Backing board 12 has a front face 36, a rear face 38, an upper edge 43, and a lower preferably parallel edge 45.
- Rear face 38 of the backing board terminates spacedly from upper edge 43 to define a lip portion 44 at the upper edge of the backing. board. Lip portion 44 is separated from rear face 38 of the backing board by a shoulder 46.
- a backing board 12 is first positioned against structure 48 with its lower edge 45 resting upon web 30 at the upper marginal portion 14 of the outer panel 10 in the lower adjacent siding course.
- Nails 50, or similar securement means, are then driven through backing board 12 and into building structure 48 to anchor the backing board to the building structure.
- An outer panel 10 is then grasped by the workman with the butt portion 18 of the panel positioned below retainer part 24 and preferably against face portion 16 of the outer panel 10 of the siding unit in the lower adjacent course.
- Another backing board 12 can now be grasped and positioned against building structure 48 with its lower edge 45 resting upon web 30 of the previously positioned outer panel 10. The sequence of securing the backing board to the building structure and attaching another panel to the board 12 is repeated as above described until siding of the building structure is completed.
- each panel 10 fits snugly in position upon its backing board when interlocked with an outer panel 10 in the lower adjacent course but not so tightly so as to prevent movement of the outer panel relative to its backing board and such interlocked outer panel during expansion and contraction of the panels due to atmospheric changes.
- each backing board may include a lip portion 44 at each of its upper edge 43 and lower edge 45 to enable the workmen attaching the siding to the building structure to reverse the backing board as the siding is being fitted for gables and similar areas where the siding unit must be shortened.
- the spacing between shoulder 46 and upper edge 43 of each backing board preferably exceeds the width of lip 32 of the outer panel as measured from the lips lower edge to panel web 30.
- Lip portion 44 of backing board 12 is spaced sufficiently from outer surface 52 of the building structure to permit lip 32 of the outer panel to be fitted over and behind the lip portion as shown in FIG. 2.
