4 Claims.
My invention relates broadly to coverings for wall surfaces, but more particularly to house siding material employed as the finishing surface on the exterior walls of residences and other buildings. 7 l
An object of my invention is to provide units of siding material that may be applied to a wall surface with inexperienced labor.
Another object of my invention is to provide units of siding material carrying masonry design patterns and fashioned to be overlapped in the installation to modify the designs of the separate unit and to produce various composite masonry designs.
Another vobject of my invention is to provide units of siding material that are adapted to be overlapped in being installed, with border lines simulating mortar joints so that the overlapping edge of one unit of the siding on another unit of siding willappear to an observer as a mortar line in the covered wall.
' Other objects and advantages of my invention will appear from a reading of my detailed description tofollow'of formsof siding that embody my invention; I I
My siding material should preferably be made in a pliable form in a similar manner to composition roofing material and preferably more pliable since, as shown later in this specification, it is adapted for covering raised portions of a wall surface such aswindow frames and door frames.
should be embossed in designs of stones, tiles or the like bordered with mortar joints. Such designs may be smooth painted surfaces, or they may be made granulated in accordance with prior art teachings'relating to the'making of composition roofing material and siding material.
For the purpose of illustrating my invention, I show in my drawing only patterns of blocks of stone bordered with mortar joints, but it is to be understood that tiles or other building wall materials might be shown in place of the stones within the scope of myninvention.
In the drawing:
Figure 1 is a plan view of a single stone unit of siding material embodying my invention.
Figure 2 is an elevation view illustrating the application of the single unit of siding material on the outside walls of houses.
Figure 3 is a cross section view taken on line II of Figure2. 1
Figure 4 is a lay-.out view illustrating the mode of application. of a single stone siding unit to wall surfaces.
I Figure 5 is a plan view of amultiple, stone siding unit embodying my invention and,
Figure 6 is a lay-out View illustrating the plication of the multiple stone unit; illustrated by Figure 5 on a wall surface. I if I In the drawing referring to Figures 1, 2, 3, and
4, numeral I designates the single stone siding unit as a whole. Numeral 2 designates the building stone and numeral 3 designates the mortar line surrounding the building stone 2. The mortar line 3 extends to the edge and aroundthe entire circumference of the building unit I. The building unit I is made out of pliablematter to adapt it to be laid on the raised portions of .a wall surface and around the corners. The building units I may be overlapped in various manners to create a composite pattern of dissimilar stones all of which are separated by mortar lines. When the building units I are laid in overlapping manners such as shown in the drawing of a house'in Figure 2, patterns of stone are produced t isimulate actual stone type-wall constructions. The reader will appreciate that the finished patterns will all differ from one another. Thisis not pos-' sible in the use of prior art stone type siding materials that are not designed to be overlapped except along their bordering edges.
To cover the wall boards B of the house H with Y siding units I, as best illustrated by Figure 4 of v the drawing, the workman merely nails them on with siding nails 4, in any manner he sees fit to do so, to produce the desired patterns of stone work. The only care that he must take is to see that the units I overlap one another both as to vertical directions and horizontal directions. No matter how much or how little the units I are overlapped, mortar lines 3 will show up between the stones 2.
The reader will see in Figure 4 that thefla stones 2 constituting the bottom layer of the pattern are made out of the same size units as are the thicker stones 2 above them. The reader will also notice that the width of the variousv stones 2' is modified by the degree of overlapping of the siding units I.
In applying my siding units I to a Window frame W or a door frame D, as best shown in Figure 3 of the drawing, the siding unit I is first nailed down directly tothe door frame D and is then bent back on itself and extended to the wall board B where it is overlapped by a second siding unit I. The two overlapping siding units l are roundedby mortarlineslmtq Having. thusdeseribed my invention, I claim} :1. A siding; .umtnadapted-to be; fastened tea wall surfaceor the-likein;overlapping'relation- "ship with similar sidingunitscomprising a flexnailedto the wall board B with other siding nails 4. The siding nails 4 should preferably be nailed in the mortar line 4. Heads of the siding nails 4 should preferably be of the" same-color asgthe mortar lines 3 to prevent them from showing up to the eyes of an observer. It is to be understood that if desired the siding units I may begluedto the wall boards B or other surfaces to which they areap'plied Within the scope of my invention. 5
l The covered .;.door frame D.=takes on theappearance of projecting stones bordering the doo'r opening. This application of my siding material simulates the common practice in real stone. work. 1 The application of my siding material .to
the door frame D and other frame openings, such as the window frame W, saves the cost of painting the frames, the cost of which would greatly exceed the cost of covering-them withv my siding ible base member and a covering applied-to the exposed surface of said base member, said covv erin'g simulating a pattern of masonry construction, said covering being extended to the .extreme edge portion of said base member throush-- out. the entire length of the perimeter of said base member, whereby a variety of complete masonry patterns. may be fashioned by'varying the amount of overlap of said siding unit with one I or more similar siding units.
25A sidingunit 'adapted to bejfastened to a wall surface or the like in overlapping relationship with similarsiding units comprising a thin,
flat base member. and a covering on the exposable side of said base member, said covering'simulating. a pattern of masonry construction including mortar lines, said pattern being extended to the extreme :edge portion of said base 'member material. The reader should also keep inmindthat in addition to saving the cost of the original v paint .job,. the useofl-mytsidmg material; sav s also the cost of' repainting theseirame surfaces.
