4 Claims.
This invention relates to corner constructions for use in connection with the application of brick, stone, or tile simulating siding to the walls of building structures; and it comprises metal corner members shaped to fit over and cover those opposing ends of the siding sections which meet at the corners of the building structure to which the siding is applied. Each corner member has applied directly to its outer surface an initially plastic coating, such as paint or enamel, into which granular particles are pressed to provide a surface pattern composed of brick, stone or'tile simulating areas and intervening mortar joint simulating areas which are matched with corresponding areas of the surface pattern presented by the underlying siding sections. 7
The method of surfacing the metal comer members to match the surface pattern of the underlying siding sections is subject to considerable variation. In the example selected for illustration the brick or stone simulating areas of the corner members are formed of. spaced patches of granular material but the intervening mortar colored areas are formed simply by painting the outer surface of the metal to matchthe color of the granular particles forming the mortar joint simulating areas of the siding sections. It is contemplated, however, that the mortar joint simulating areas of the corner members may also be formed by patches or hands of granular material of a color contrasting with the granular patches forming the brick, stone or tile simulating areas. It is also contemplated that both the joint simulating areas and the brick, stone or tile simulating areas of each comer member may be simply painted on the outer surface of the metal in colors matching corresponding areas of the siding sections. I
The aforesaid metal corner members are shaped, preferably by a pressing operation, to provide relatively wide elevated areas which are surfaced in simulation of brick, stone or tile elements and relatively narrow depressed areas which are surfaced in simulation or mortar joints. This shaping of the corner members is particularly useful in connection with certain types of brick, stone or tile simulating siding in which the mortar joint simulating areas are sunk a substantial distance below the brick, stone or tile simulating areas.
In some instances the surfacing of the metal corner members with granular particles may be omitted. For example, if the metal corner members are made of copper the elevated areas thereof may be simply tinted to match, as closely as 55 surface of wall in horizontal alignment with a and 6 designate two angularly related building possible, the brick, stone or tile elements of the underlying siding sections.
The invention further provides improved means for securely anchoring the corner'members to the" building structure to which the siding isapplied, saidmeans serving to press the corner members tightly against the outer surfaces of the underlying siding sections.
The comer members mentioned herein are especially adapted for use in connection with siding of the type comprising a comparatively thick and rigid fibrous base, a sheet of water resistant felt adhesively secured to the weather side of the base and a weather resistant surface comprising granular particles embedded in asphalt at the outer side of the felt sheet and arranged to form a definite ornamental surface pattern in simulation of. a brick, stone or tile surface. Examples of such siding are disclosed in my prior Patents 2,021,577, 2,021,578 and 2,021,579 granted Nov. 19, 1935. Said corner members may also be used to advantage in connection with the application of flexible siding sections consisting simply of a flexible sheet of water resistant roofing felt having granular par- Fig, 2 is a viewshowing the assembled siding sections and corner member in front elevation.

Figs. '7 and 8 are perspective views showing the comer member as it appears prior to being provided with the ornamental surfacing shown in Fig. 4.
Referring more particularly to the drawings, 5
taken walls meeting in a corner I. A section 8 of brick simulating siding is shown applied to the outer j simulating areas A.
l and intervening mortar joint simulating areas ii. It will be noted that the several courses of brick colored areas and the horizontal joint simulating areas appearing on each section are horizontally aligned with corresponding areas of the companion section.
. in Figures 7 and 8.
claim is:
1. In combination, a building structure including angularly related walls meeting in a corner,
brick, stone or tile simulating siding applied/to The ends of the siding sections which meet at the comer I are covered by a metal corner member I2. This member is bent along its longitudinal center to provide two angularly related side portions l3 and it having their free longitudinal edges formed to provide rib-like projection's IS. The corner member is applied with side portion l3 overlying siding section 8 and 1 side portion I 4 overlying siding section 9. It is secured in place by fastening screws it which 1 serve-to. embed the ribs IS in the siding sections as shown to advantage in Fig. 3. Screws l6 penetrate wall 6 and are given additional anchorage by threaded engagement with openings II formed in a metal anchoring plate I 8 which is shaped to fit corner i and is nailed or otherwise fastened to the outer surfaces of walls 5 and 6.
The metal corner member I2 is surfaced to provide brick simulating areas 20 and horizontal mortar joint simulating areas 2| .matching the brick simulating areas i ii and the horizontal mortar .joint simulating areas ll of the underlying siding sections. In the present instance the brick colored areas '20 are formed by suitably colored particles of granular material 23 (Fig. 6) embedded in an initially plastic paint, enamel or other coating layer .24 applied directly to the metal of the corner member. The mortar Joint simulating areas 2| are formed simply by a paint or enamel coating 25 (Fig. 5) of a color closely approxi mating the color of the granular particles formr ing the joint simulating areas ll of the siding sections. The metal corner member may be pre. pared for the reception of the paint or enamel coating by conventional galvanizing and pickling I operations.
The metal corner member is shaped, preferably by a pressing operation, so that its outer surface presents raised brick simulating portions A (1'18.
7) and depressed mortar Joint simulating por- 1 tions B. The mortar joint simulating enamel 2| is applied to the depressed portions B as shown in Fig. 5 while, the coatings I4 and brick simulating granules 23 are applied to the raised brick The raised portions Aland; I the depressed portions B are dimensioned to match the widthof the brick and horilontel joint. simulating areas of the siding sections as shown 1 to advantage in Fi -.2. The depressed portion 8- r are provided with perforations C through whi the fastening screws II are passed.
If the metal corner member appearing in Fig. 7
'. 1 is made of copper, I may omit the application-1o! granular surfacing material and merely tint ,the exposed surface of the corner member to match the brick, stone ortiie elements of the underlying .the outer surface of said walls, a metal corner member shaped to fit over and cover those opposing ends of the siding sections which meet at said corner, said corner member being surfaced to provide a masonry simulating surface pattern matching that of the underlying siding sections, .an anchoring plate secured to said walls to fit over the corner formed thereby, said anchoring plate being interposed between said walls and said siding and fastening screws passing through said comer member and said anchoring plate and into one of said walls, said fastening members being in threaded engagement with openings formed in said anchoring plate.
