Patent number: 9416540Abstract: A tile for attachment to a mounting surface, with a fastener, includes a body defining a longitudinal length and a horizontal width. The body may be movable between an uninstalled position, which defines a first offset along the longitudinal length and a second offset along the transverse width, and an installed position, which substantially closes the first offset and the second offset. In the installed position, the body abuts the mounting surface and an underside of the body is substantially planar. The tile may also include a plurality of first-angle ribs and a plurality of second-angle ribs. The first-angle ribs are offset relative to a forward edge of the body. The second-angle ribs offset relative to the forward edge of the body and also to the first-angle ribs. Furthermore, the first-angle ribs and second-angle ribs do not have shared vertices.Type: GrantFiled: November 26, 2014Date of Patent: August 16, 2016Assignee: Tapco International CorporationInventors: Clyde G. Allen, James A. Caldwell, Nathan D. Greenway, Matt M. Jackson, Michael W. Maurer, Matthew Jason Michalski, Dennis J. Paliaga, Jonathan Wierengo

Patent number: 9091086Abstract: A siding system includes a plurality of siding panels having a substrate formed to define a plurality of decorative units. Each of the decorative units includes an average unit distance that is equal to the sum of an average width of the decorative units, and an average width of keyways separating the decorative units. An actual centerline of each of the decorative units is horizontally located within a maximum offset tolerance of a theoretical horizontal center of each of the decorative units. The theoretical horizontal center of each of the decorative units is located at a center location distance measured from a first vertical edge of the substrate. A second siding panel is disposed vertically above a first siding panel when attached to the wall surface. The second siding panel is horizontally offset relative to the first siding panel a panel offset distance.Type: GrantFiled: January 21, 2013Date of Patent: July 28, 2015Assignee: Tapco International CorporationInventors: Matthew Jason Michalski, Michael W Maurer, Clyde Allen, Daniel Franklin, Jonathan Wierengo

Patent number: 8863461Abstract: A panel for attachment to a mounting surface includes a fastener edge defined along one edge of the panel and a butt edge defined opposite the fastener edge. The fastener edge contacts the mounting surface. The panel includes a plurality of raised faces formed between the fastener edge and the butt edge. The raised faces are oriented at a first angle to the mounting surface, such that the raised faces are further from the mounting surface toward the butt edge. The panel also includes a tapered keyway linking each of the raised faces. The tapered keyway extends from the raised faces toward the mounting surface and is at a second angle to the raised faces. An offset hem is formed on the fastener edge and extends away from the mounting surface.Type: GrantFiled: January 21, 2013Date of Patent: October 21, 2014Assignee: Tapco International CorporationInventors: Mark C. Wagner, Doug Williams, Daniel W. King, Richard A. Wagner, Matthew Jason Michalski, Jonathan Wierengo, Daniel B. Franklin, Michael W. Maurer, Clyde G. Allen
