Window and door trim for use with siding
First Claim
1. A window and door trim for use with siding, comprising:
- elongated, L-shaped panels having one longer and one short leg interconnected by an angle less than 90°
, for fitting around a casing having a front and an inside face, coupling means associated with said shorter leg for coupling of the shorter leg onto the inside face of the casing, said longer leg terminating in a free distal end having an inwardly turned, double folded over panel hem tightly retained against said longer leg to form a triple thickness of material at the distal end, the combination of the less than 90°
interconnection with the double folded over hem providing for spring held abutment of the longer leg against the siding without the use of any fastening members, and wherein the shorter leg is disposable on the inside face of the casing and the longer leg is disposable in a substantially vertical plane on the front face of the casing and entirely overlying the siding without any portion of the panel lying under the siding, wherein the casing has sections including a side casing and upper casing, and wherein two of said panels form side panels for fitting onto the side casing, the longer legs of said side panels extending across the upper casing and onto the siding, and wherein one of said panels forms an upper panel for fitting onto the upper casing and overlapping said side panels.

Abstract
A window and door trim which can be used with siding placed against the walls of a house, and includes elongated L-shaped panels which fit around the casing. The shorter leg of the panels are disposable on the inside face of the casing with the longer legs of the panels being disposable on the front face of the casing and overlying the siding. In order to facilitate holding of the L-shaped panels, a facing strip can be attached to the inside face of the casing with the facing strip including a receiving slot for receiving and tightly holding the shorter leg of the panel. The distal edges of the longer leg of the panels can include a double folded over hem which provides a slight pressure against the siding. A method for applying the window and door trim is described.
