Patent number: 7870699Abstract: Siding panels having indicia indicating a zone into which fasteners should be placed, and methods for manufacturing and installing the panels are disclosed herein. In one embodiment, the siding includes a panel of siding material having a first edge extending along a first dimension, a second edge spaced apart from the first edge a first distance, and a first side with indicia. The indicia define a zone into which at least one fastener should be placed to install the panel. The zone extends along the first dimension and has a width of approximately 0.2 inch to approximately 0.3 inch. The zone has a center line spaced apart from the first edge a second distance of approximately 7 percent to approximately 22 percent of the first distance. The siding material is composed of a continuous, single fiber-cement compound including cement, silica, and cellulose fiber.Type: GrantFiled: April 14, 2006Date of Patent: January 18, 2011Inventor: Kurt Waggoner

Patent number: 7575701Abstract: The present disclosure is directed toward unitary modular shake panels, and methods for making and using such shake panels. In one aspect of the invention, a unitary modular shake panel includes an interconnecting section composed of a siding material and several integral shake sections projecting from the interconnecting section. The panel preferably has a quadrilateral shape with first and second edges along a longitudinal dimension that are separated from each other by a width of the panel along a transverse dimension. Additionally, the shake sections are separated from one another by slots extending from the second edge to an intermediate width in the panel. In a preferred embodiment, the panel is composed of a unitary piece of fiber-cement siding with a simulated wood grain running along the transverse dimension.Type: GrantFiled: February 3, 2003Date of Patent: August 18, 2009Assignee: Shear Tech, Inc.Inventors: Kurt Waggoner, Scott Fladgard, Lloyd Fladgard

Patent number: 5570678Abstract: A shearing tool for cutting cement siding which includes upper and lower blade holders. Each blade holder has first and second ends and an elongated slot extending substantially therebetween. The blade holders are positioned so that the slots face each other and are substantially aligned. Upper and lower blades are removably mounted in the slots of the upper and lower blade holders, respectively. The upper and lower blades each have a relatively narrow cross-sectional width and a cutting edge. When positioned in the slots of the blade holders, the upper and lower blades define a cutting plane in which the cutting edges are substantially aligned and face each other. A number of links are operatively connected to the ends of the blade holders so that either the upper or lower blade holder can move towards the other in the cutting plane.Type: GrantFiled: December 7, 1994Date of Patent: November 5, 1996Assignee: Pacific International Tool & Shear, Ltd.Inventors: Kurt Waggoner, Lloyd Fladgard, Scott Fladgard, Joseph Gaidjurges, John Whitehead
