AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

The present invention is about a tool that helps install siding panels. The tool has a main body with sides and a top end, and it also has heights for easy installation. Another version of the tool has an I-beam structure with two channels for securely attaching a lanyard. The bottom of the tool has an opening for securing a lanyard.

Problems solved by technology

Though it is efficient after installation, installing siding panels in a correct and level manner can be a cumbersome task that requires precise measurements at multiple points, and a uniform overlap between each panel.
When installing siding utilizing known methodologies, a delay exists between applying each individual panel, as the installer must measure and mark the appropriate distance between panels and then free their hands to place and secure the siding.
Additionally, due to the length of individual siding panels, it is often necessary to have more than one installer, thus increasing the possibility of human error, as each installer must independently measure distances on both ends.
This procedure often results in one or more panels being installed incorrectly which then trickles through the remaining panel installation.

Description

BACKGROUNDField of the Invention[0001]The present invention relates generally to a building siding tool, and more particularly to a device capable of allowing one or more users to efficiently and accurately measure appropriate distances between siding panels and install the same without the use of additional measuring devices.[0002]Wall siding has always been a popular choice for exterior home decoration by builders and homeowners as it is easy to maintain and repair, and is a low cost alternative to other building materials such as stucco, brick and wood composite. Though it is efficient after installation, installing siding panels in a correct and level manner can be a cumbersome task that requires precise measurements at multiple points, and a uniform overlap between each panel.[0003]When installing siding utilizing known methodologies, a delay exists between applying each individual panel, as the installer must measure and mark the appropriate distance between panels and then fr...
