Abstract
Description
- This application is a continuation of U.S. application Ser. No. 11/320,169, filed Dec. 28, 2005, which claims the priority benefit of U.S. Provisional Application No. 60/640,158, filed Dec. 29, 2004, and which is also a continuation-in-part of U.S. application Ser. No. 11/234,073, filed Sep. 23, 2005, which is a continuation-in-part of U.S. application Ser. No. 10/688,750, filed Oct. 17, 2003, each of which is hereby incorporated by reference in its entirety.
- The present invention relates generally to panels, such as vinyl siding, cellulosic composite siding, and fiber cement siding, and more particularly to panels having backers applied thereto, such backers for example comprising foam material. Examples of panels that may benefit from the present invention include siding panels, wall panels, and other similar, suitable, or conventional types of panels for building structures.
- This application incorporates by reference U.S. Pat. No. 6,321,500 as background for the present application. By way of background, in order to enhance the thermal insulation of building structures, it is known to provide one or more layers or panels of insulating material between the vinyl facing panel and the building structure. The backing may also improve the structural characteristics of the siding panel. Known insulated siding systems exist in many different forms. For instance, it is known to nail large sheets of insulating material to the building structure and then install the siding over the insulating material. Another system places a panel of insulation material in a slot behind the vinyl facing panel. Yet another system pours foam filler into the back of a vinyl facing panel such that the foam filler conforms to the geometry of the vinyl facing panel.
- The present invention provides an improved backer for use with panels. Exemplary embodiments of the present invention may include one or more new features not present in prior backers.
- First, one or more “valleys” or recesses may be formed in a first side of the backer which adheres to the siding. These valleys may be useful for providing increased surface area in which glue or other adhesive can flow and thereby increase the adhesion strength of the backer to the siding panel.
- Second, one or more ridges may be formed in a second side of the backer which is facing the wall of a building structure upon which the siding is being applied. The ridges may protrude slightly from the second side of the backer to create ventilation space between the non-ridged areas of the second side of the backer and the wall. Providing for ventilation may help to prevent or limit any accumulation of moisture between the wall and the backer.
- Third, a mating recess may be formed in an end of the backer so that an adjacent siding panel with backer can be overlapped more easily. In this manner, better fitting seams may be formed between adjacent panels.
- The present invention may be an improvement over known backing systems. One exemplary embodiment of the present invention may provide a siding unit, which is comprised of backing and a facing panel. Some of the advantages of the backed siding may include improved energy efficiency, reduced air infiltration, reduced curvature in the siding panels, and increased ease of installation. In addition, one embodiment of the backed siding of the present invention may have improved interlocking pieces and improved backing.
- In addition to the novel features and advantages mentioned above, other features and advantages of the present invention will be readily apparent from the following descriptions of the drawings and exemplary embodiments.

FIGS. 1 through 11 illustrate exemplary embodiments of a paneling unit that may incorporate features of the present invention.FIGS. 1 and 2 show asiding unit 10 with two rows of siding. Nevertheless, it should be understood that a paneling unit of the present invention may be manufactured with any desired number of rows. - In
FIGS. 1 and 2 , thesiding unit 10 includes backing portion 20 (“backer”) and at least one facing or cover panel or portion 30 (“siding panel”). For example, thebacking portion 20 may be comprised of a base of either expanded or extruded polystyrene foam. However, it should be recognized that thebacking portion 20 may be comprised of any sufficiently rigid material, including, but not limited to, foam, fiberglass, cardboard, and other similar, suitable, or conventional materials. Any suitable means may be used to obtain the shape of thebacking portion 20. In an exemplary embodiment, the shape of thebacking portion 20 may be obtained by extrusion through a predetermined die configuration and/or by cutting such as with a power saw or other cutting devices. - The
backing portion 20 may be glued or otherwise laminated or adhered to the inside of thecover panel 30. For example, an adhesive may be used to bond a portion of a backedportion 20 to a portion of the inside of a facingpanel 30. - In addition, the facing
portion 30 may include an attachment strip 32 (e.g., a nailing strip), atongue 34, and agroove 36. The facingpanel 30 of the present invention has aportion 35 that rearwardly extends toattachment strip 32. Theportion 35, alone or in combination withattachment strip 32, substantially covers the end or tip of thebacking portion 20. More particularly, theportion 35 wraps around and abuts or is substantially adjacent to the end or tip of thebacking portion 20. As a result, theportion 35 protects the end or tip of thebacking portion 20 from damage, particularly during shipping and installation. In this example, theattachment strip 32 is substantially in the same plane and parallel to an adjacent portion of the rear side of thebacking portion 20. Achannel 37 on the bottom portion of thebacking portion 20 may be adapted to interlock with, overlap, and/or extend over the nailingstrip 32 of the facingpanel 30 of a substantiallysimilar siding unit 10. The nailing strip (also called a nailing hem) 32 may have a plurality of openings for receiving fasteners. Nails or any other suitable mechanical fastening means may be extended through apertures in the nailingstrip 32 in order to secure the facingpanel 30 to a building structure. As is shown inFIG. 1 , thetongue 34 is adapted to fit in thegroove 36 of another siding panel when installed on a building structure. Likewise, thegroove 36 is adapted to receive thetongue 34 of a substantially similar siding panel when installed on a building structure. The tongue-and-groove connection may also be referred to as a hanger section. - The top or face portion of the
siding unit 10 may have a facingpanel 30, which completely covers thebacking portion 20. A benefit of this feature is that thebacking portion 20 is protected from breakage that may occur in shipping, handling, or installation if not substantially covered with a facingpanel 30. -
FIG. 3 shows an embodiment of asiding unit 40 in which thebacking portion 50 extends into thegroove 66. Thetongue 64 is adapted to fit into thegroove 66 of an adjacent siding unit.

Awall panel unit 240 comprising a facingpanel 250 is shown inFIG. 11 . It should be recognized that thewall panel unit 240 may include a backing portion. -
FIGS. 12 through 15 show the three features of one exemplary embodiment of the present invention as may be incorporated into any of the above described paneling units. As shown inFIG. 14 , abacker 400 is comprised of afirst side 402 to be applied to a siding portion and asecond side 404 to be applied to a wall of a structure. In thefirst side 402 there are formed grooves orvalleys 406 for receiving adhesive when the lamination step is performed to unite the siding cover portion to the backer portion of the paneling unit. The valleys can be practically any cross section shape. In an exemplary embodiment the valleys may be “v” shaped grooves of about 0.1016 inch radius curvature and about 0.0625 inch depth. Larger or smaller grooves of various shapes are within the scope of the present invention. The valleys may be formed in the backer at the same time the backer is formed, from a mold for example. By providing these valleys, the adhesive used to apply the backer to the cover portion, is given a greater surface area within which to flow in order to provide greater adhesion strength between the backer and the siding cover portion. - In
FIG. 13A , thesecond side 404 of the backer of the present invention is shown in greater detail. In particular,FIG. 13A is a partial sectional view of the backer alongline 13A-13A inFIG. 12 .Ridges 408 are formed in thebacker 400 to provide a ventilation space between the second side of the backer and the wall of a structure to which it is secured. Theseridges 408 may be used in conjunction withwater escape channels 410 to prevent moisture build-up in the paneling units. The ridges in a preferred embodiment may be about 0.045 inch high off the surface of the backer and about 0.5 inch wide. Larger or smaller ridges of various shapes are within the scope of the present invention. On the other hand,FIG. 13B is a partial sectional view ofside 402 of the backer, which includes the aforementioned grooves orvalleys 406 for receiving adhesive. - In
FIG. 14 , a recessed orrelief zone 412 of thebacker 400 is provided to enhance the fit between adjacent paneling units. By providing a slightly recessed zone of backer material an end of an adjacent backer may better overlap the recessed zone to provide an improved fit between adjacent backers. In a preferred embodiment of the present invention the recessed zone may be about 1.2784 inches long and about 0.100 inch wide along the profile. Larger or smaller relief zones of various shapes are within the scope of the present invention and may be formed into the backer at the same time the backer is being formed by use of a mold designed to the desired shape for example. - As shown in
FIG. 12 ,side 402 ofbacker 400 may also include at least one recessed orrelief zone 414 to enhance the fit between adjacent paneling units.Relief zone 414 may be adapted to receive an edge of an adjacent facing panel to provide an improved lap joint. Optionally,relief zone 412 may be contiguous withrelief zone 414. In this example,relief zone 414 starts approximately 1.250 inches from the top of the backer, and it is approximately 0.050 inch wide and approximately 2.0 inches deep. Nevertheless, larger or smaller relief zones of various shapes are within the scope of the present invention and may, for example, be formed into the backer at the same time the backer is being formed by use of a mold designed to the desired shape. Such as shown inFIG. 15 , each edge of a backer may optionally include a relief zone similar torelief zone 414. - The top or face portion of the paneling units may be smooth or may have any number of finishes that are typically known by those in the art of manufacturing paneling. The finish may add contour and texture to simulate the appearance of wooden paneling.
- The paneling units of the present invention may be of various lengths, heights, and thicknesses. The particular dimensions of a panel of the present invention may be selected to suit a particular application. Some exemplary embodiments of a paneling unit of the present invention may be approximately 15 to 18 inches in height. However, as just mentioned, it should also be recognized that a paneling unit of the present invention may have any desired dimensions including a height up to or in excess of 50 inches.
- The paneling units as described herein may be formed from a polymer such as a vinyl material. Other materials such as polypropylene, polyethylene, other plastics and polymers, polymer composites (such as polymer reinforced with fibers or other particles of glass, graphite, wood, flax, other cellulosic materials, or other inorganic or organic materials), metals (such as aluminum or polymer coated metal), or other similar or suitable materials may also be used. The paneling may be molded, extruded, roll-formed from a flat sheet, or formed by any other suitable manufacturing technique.
