Abstract: The present invention is a fence assembly consisting of fence segments and connectors. Each fence segment may be secured to another fence segment by a connector. The present invention may use in-line connectors, living hinge connectors, male/female hinged connectors and/or end caps.

Abstract: The present invention is a unique manufacturing process that includes extruding a product shape through extrusion equipment, then using a blow molding process, preferably in-line, on a portion of the extruded product shape to further shape the product. In one preferred embodiment the product shape is a post and the further shaping of the post results in a decorative end that previously had to be assembled to the post but now is able to be formed in the post as a one-piece product, instead of a two-piece construction.

Abstract: An exterior covering for buildings and the like is described. The present invention relates to vinyl siding panels for building exteriors that are easy to install, and which prevent a collection of moisture along the building exterior.

Abstract: A method and system for bundling elongated material surrounded with a plurality of binding frames, each binding frame having vertical and horizontal members attached so as to form a rectangular shaped frame. The vertical and horizontal members are connected using corner jigs, each corner jig having a horizontal base adapted to receive a horizontal member and a vertical sleeve adapted to receive a vertical member. Each binding frame is then surrounded with a binding band adapted to hold the corner jigs and frames in place so as to maintain the elongated material in the bundle.

Abstract: A thermoplastic, synthetic resin, baseboard panel or piece having a plurality of hinged sections and including resilient injection molded portions is presented. The panel or piece may be used in a variety of applications such as to provide sealing ends on thermoplastic panels or to create resiliently closeable passages in thermoplastic panels through which wires and other objects may be passed while maintaining an even surface appearance of the baseboard panel.

Abstract: The present invention is a method of producing an extruded composite comprising the general steps of: (a) extruding a longitudinally oriented composite precursor coextrusion comprising: (1) at least one thermoplastic polymeric material and (2) a core mixture of at least one thermosetting resin and at least one filler material; whereby the thermoplastic polymeric material(s) is extruded so as to substantially enclose a space, and whereby the core mixture is pumped into the space; and (b) maintaining the composite precursor under conditions whereby the at least one thermoplastic polymeric material becomes cooled and the at least one thermosetting resin becomes cured so as to form the extruded composite of the present invention.
