  • Patent number: 4010963
    Abstract: A skirt for mobile homes and the like, the skirt comprising substantially rigid sheet material, preferably cold rolled or cold bent sheet aluminum and comprises a top panel consisting of three separate sheets held together by a bridge across the top which top bridge is anchored by fasteners to each of the top sheets. The skirt also comprises a bottom panel consisting of at least three separate bottom sheets anchored together by a bottom bridge using fasteners. The top and bottom panels taken as a whole comprise three U-shaped telescopically related top to bottom segments which are vertically slidably interlocked one segment with the next so that the top panel and the bottom panel may be relatively telescopically displaced thereby changing the overall vertical effective length (height) of the skirt. By anchoring the skirt in depending relation at the periphery adjacent the floor of a mobile home, the skirt is caused to span the distance between the bottom of the mobile home and the ground.
