ABSTRACT:
Being extruded in one piece from a polymeric material, such as polyvinyl chloride, and being useful with a soffit panel and with a siding panel, a combination siding panel-trimming and soffit panel-mounting member has a back panel, an upper front flange for overlying a back edge portion of a soffit panel, a lower front flange for underlying the back edge portion of the soffit panel, and a back flange for engaging an upper edge portion of the siding panel. The upper front flange projects from the back panel frontwardly, generally horizontally, and approximately at a right angle. The lower front flange projects from the back panel, has a portion projecting frontwardly and upwardly toward the upper front flange, and has a generally horizontal distal edge. The lower front flange has sufficient flexibility and sufficient resiliency to flex backwardly and upwardly from a normal position to a flexed position and to return, so as to permit the back edge portion of the soffit panel to move past the distal edge and the distal edge to move beneath the back edge portion of the soffit panel, when the back portion of the soffit panel is swung upwardly. The back flange projects from the back panel backwardly and defines a hook for interengaging with trim-engaging tabs on the upper edge portion of the siding panel.
