Benefits of technology
The present invention is an improved apparatus for installing lapboard siding on a house or similar structure. It allows for accurate and efficient measurement of the space between the last installed lapboard siding and the next installed one, which is commonly referred to as the "reveal". The invention also provides support to the second installed lapboard siding, allowing for more accurate and efficient installation without the assistance of another user. The apparatus includes a fastener locator with linear vertical motion and a shelf board that locates the fasteners above the reveal of the next installed lapboard siding. The shelf board has openings that allow for the use of a string, wire, or bungee cord to hold the lapboard siding in place before fastening. This invention makes the installation process easier and more efficient for users.
Problems solved by technology
Not only is the procedure time and labor inefficient, but it also provides abundant opportunities for human error.

Embodiment Construction
[0018]The invention will now be described with reference to the attached drawing figures. It should be understood that the drawings are meant to be merely illustrative, and are not necessarily drawn to exact scale.
[0019]Referring now to FIG. 1 an exploded view of the preferred embodiment of the present invention comprising main components and sub components. The main components comprising a reveal slide 48, a main body channel 12 comprising a front vertical leg, a horizontal base shelf and a back vertical leg. The sub components comprising all other numbered components in FIG. 1. To assemble main components and sub components of the present invention, rotate a clamping knob 18 comprising a threaded stud that threads into a clamping knob opening 16 of the main body channel 12 and continues beyond the back of the front vertical leg of the main body channel 12 into a clamping pad 40 with the clamping pad 40 reversibly attached to the threaded stud of the clamping knob 18 wherein a fron...

A tool to facilitate the installation of lapboard siding on a structure that clamps to the last installed lapboard siding by urging the clamping channel back leg between the last installed lapboard siding and the next to last installed lapboard siding with the horizontal base shelf urged against the bottom edge of the last installed lapboard siding. A reveal slide with reveal board shelf adjusts vertically to create an accurate space between the last installed lapboard siding and the next installed lapboard siding commonly referred to as “Reveal”. A fastener locator adjusts vertically to locate fasteners above the reveal area of the lapboard siding.
Description
FIELD OF THE INVENTION[0001]The present invention is in the field of lapboard siding installation and specifically relates to using an apparatus to install the lapboard siding that provides a vertical space between the bottom of a last installed row of the lapboard siding and the bottom of a next installed row of the lapboard siding. This space is commonly referred to as the “Reveal” of the lapboard siding.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0002]Installing lapboard siding on a structure such as a house but not limited to the structure such as the house is commonly achieved by a user nailing a shelf board to the last installed row of the lapboard siding positioned to create a reveal and support the next installed row of the lapboard siding. There are apparatus that functions to support and precisely position the lapboard siding during installation. Without the aid of such apparatus the procedure for the installation of the lapboard siding requires much careful measuring, leveling, marking a...
