Composite siding panel
First Claim
1. A composite siding panel comprising:
- an outer panel formed of a weather impervious material and having first and second spaced, longitudinally extending edges;
means defining a nailing strip on one of the first and second longitudinal edges of the outer panel for mounting the outer panel on a building;
an elongated insulating member formed of a foamed insulating material mounted on the inner surface of the outer panel, the insulating member having first and second longitudinally extending edges;
an under cut recess formed in and extending along the first longitudinal edge of the insulating member said recess having a plurality of sides of which one side forms an acute angle at the junction of said composite siding panel and building;
a projection complementary to the recess formed in and extending along the second longitudinal edge of the insulating member, the projection extending outward beyond one edge of the outer panel a greater distance than the depth of the under cut recess; and
first and second interlocking means extending along opposed first and second longitudinal edges of the outer panel for interlocking outer panels of two adjacent panels in parallel, abutting relationship, the first interlocking means being disposed within the recess in the insulating member;
the width of the insulating member being greater than the width of the outer panel by a pre-determined amount such that the adjacent longitudinal edges of two insulating members are compressed against each other upon the interlocking of two adjacent siding panels to which the insulating members are mounted.

Abstract
A composite interlocking siding panel includes an elongate sheet metal or vinyl outer panel having a nailing strip along one longitudinal edge and mating interlocking means extending along each longitudinal edge. An elongate boardlike member of insulating material is bonded to the back of the outer panel. The insulating member is so configured that it may be of any selected thickness without interfering with the installation of the composite panel on a building wall. The insulating member includes a projection extending along one longitudinal edge which projects beyond the nailing strip and is configured, when installed, to snugly fit within an undercut recess in the mating longitudinal edge of a like interlocked panel with the rear surfaces of the insulating members lying in a common plane in their finally installed position.
