  • Vinyl siding bracket and method of installation
    Patent number: 6932310
    Abstract: A one-piece metal bracket having a flat main body terminating in a U-shaped downturned lip at one end for snap-fit engagement within an inverted channel formed in a vinyl siding member generally adjacent the point of attachment of the siding member to a support structure. Ends of the lip edge are radiused to facilitate attachment and removal of the clip to and from the siding member. A second end is formed into a support hook forming an acute angle with the main body for supporting an object thereon. In an alternate embodiment, a series of holes in the main body selectively receive an S-hook for supporting an object on the bracket. The bracket is formed as a one-piece member of stainless steel.
