Laminated vinyl siding
DCFirst Claim
1. In a composite siding panel having an elongate outer panel formed from vinyl with first and second spaced longitudinally extending edges with a nailing hem adjacent one of the first and second longitudinally extending edges of the outer panel, the improvement comprising:
- an elongate insulating member having a plurality of flat planar outer surfaces separated from one another by at least one shoulder surface to define a stepped contour, each flat planar outer surface secured to an inner surface of the outer panel with a permanently flexible adhesive to form a laminated composite siding panel, the insulating member having first and second longitudinally extending ends, wherein said first longitudinally extending end extends beyond said nailing hem.

Abstract
A composite interlocking vinyl or other veneer siding having an elongated insulating member bonded to a vinyl panel with a permanently flexible adhesive that is compatible with both vinyl and insulation material and does not harden. The insulating member is configured such that a front face of the insulating material exactly coincides with the profile of the front face of the vinyl member. The insulating member forms a shallow shelf at an upper edge of the insulating member and an adjacent insulating member forms another shelf to overlap the adjacent shallow shelf to form a shiplap seal when assembled. Horizontal and vertical edges of the vinyl siding and insulating member are configured to overlap when mounted.

7. A composite siding panel comprising:
-
an elongate outer panel formed of thin material having first and second spaced longitudinally extending edges with a predetermined profile extending therebetween; interlocking means extending along each of said first and second spaced edges for releasibly connecting a first edge of one panel with a second edge of an adjacent panel during installation; an elongate insulating member having an outer surface with a complementary profile with respect to an inner surface of the outer panel, said insulating member having a generally flat inner surface portion and having first and second longitudinally extending ends, said first and second longitudinally extending ends forming first and second complementary shelves respectively such that adjacent composite siding panels are adapted to position said complementary shelves in overlapping relationship with respect to one another to form a seal when two adjacent composite side panels are secured in interlocking relationship; and a permanently flexible adhesive securing the insulating member to the inner surface of the outer panel. - View Dependent Claims (8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19)

20. A composite siding panel comprising:
-
an elongate outer panel of weather impervious material having first and second longitudinally extending edges, and first and second transversely extending ends; a fastening hem extending longitudinally along the first edge of the outer panel; interlocking means formed on the outer panel and defined by a male portion extending longitudinally along the second edge and a complementary female portion adjacent to and extending longitudinally along the first edge for interlocking two vertically adjacent outer panels in parallel, abutting edge-to-edge relationship with respect to one another; an insulating member mounted to an inner surface of the outer panel and extending outwardly beyond the first edge of the outer panel, while spaced inwardly from the second edge and spaced inwardly from at least one of the first and second ends of the outer panel; and means for sealing a transversely extending end joint between horizontally adjacent composite panels when in abutting end-to-end relationship with one another with at least one staggered, overlapping joint disposed between the ends of the adjacent composite panels. - View Dependent Claims (21, 22)

23. A backing member for a composite siding panel comprising:
an elongate insulating member having a uniform cross section along substantially an entire longitudinal length with a plurality of outer surfaces separated from one another by at least one shoulder surface to define a stepped contour on a front face, the insulating member having first and second transversely extending edges, wherein the first transversely extending edge of the insulating member defines a projection and the second transversely extending edge defines a projection-receiving recess, such that the projection-receiving recess is approximately a mirror image of the projection so that the first and second transversely extending edges of two horizontally adjacent insulating members are adapted to overlap each other when two horizontally adjacent insulating members are assembled with respect to one another. - View Dependent Claims (24, 25)
