ABSTRACT:
A soffit skeleton is constructed of a plurality of transverse frames mounted to a plurality of longitudinal spacer/cap tracks. Each frame is constructed of a metal channel having a U-shaped cross-section and bent into a plurality of end to end sections that are integrally connected at bend line joints. At some of these joints, the sections meeting thereat form interior angles and overlapping portions of each U-arm are secured together. The tracks are also U-shaped metal channels. Each of the latter is provided with equally spaced locating apertures in one arm thereof to receive an individual interior angle forming joint to thereby cap such joint and align said frames in a row in spaced parallel planes. The sections of each arm are separated by transverse notches. Prepunched fastener receiving apertures in the arms adjacent the notches are disposed so that when predetermined apertures are aligned there is a predetermined angle at the joint.
