Benefits of technology

[0040] The panels have sockets on their back that does not interfere with the removal of the part from the injection mold. A bracket fits into the socket and is secured by a pocket in the neighboring panel. The pocket is designed in a way that is does not interfere with the removal of the part from the injection mold. Molding our brackets separately from the panel makes our panel easier to manufacture.

Problems solved by technology

Large joints give the appearance of siding made out of panels and not the desired appearance of stone siding.
The panel partition is not disposed of in rows since this would cause long horizontal rows to form during installation of the panels.

—PREFERRED EMBODIMENT

[0062] Description—FIGS. 1-16.

[0063] Turning now descriptively to the drawings, in which similar reference characters denote similar elements throughout the several views, the attached figures illustrate a system of vinyl siding, which comprises multiple siding panels, trim and quoin panels, and other architectural panels and components.

[0064] Description of the front of panel 1 (shown without stone texture) (FIG. 1). The panel has a jagged outline. The stone surface panel's outside front surface has the appearance of a partition of stones, rocks, or masonry building materials. The front surface consists of a number of stones separated by gaps (102). The gaps can vary in width to create a pleasing appearance. The nail hem (103) is located at the panel edges to the left and above the long axis of the panel. The nail hem has holes (104) for fasteners to the wall or fence. The nail hem has pockets (105, 106, and 107) that brackets from neighboring panels fit into...

Abstract

A wall covering having a plurality of panels. The panels are molded to disguise the panel's individuality after installation. The panel's outline is jagged to terminate horizontal and vertical partition lines of the panel's front surface. The partition of the panel's front surface is not aligned with the horizontal and vertical edges of the front surface's outline. The panels are attached to a wall to create a substantially random appearance. This invention is especially suited to create wall covering with the appearance of random ashlar stone layout. Multiple molded panels having different front face partitions may be used to increase the random appearance. Molding the panels is simplified by molding parts of the panel interlock mechanism separately.
