  • Patent number: 9631416
    Abstract: A three-dimensional edge cladding for an architectural opening that includes a forward facing portion having a substantially constant first profile along a longitudinal axis. The forward facing portion includes a plurality of spaced apart nailing flanges, stepped surface topography projecting generally forward and away from the flanges. A longitudinally extending channel receives a side facing portion having a substantially constant second profile that include a portion that is generally orthogonal to the nailing flanges. A joint cover portion for covering the section where two or more edge cladding members meet.

  • Patent number: 7430833
    Abstract: A universal rake-ridge cap for a gable roof design that includes a first surface, a second surface, and at least one stepped arcuate surface intersecting the first surface and the second surface. The universal rake-ridge cap is employed to conceal any gap at the junction of two rake boards in a gable roof design. The universal rake ridge cap can be cut so that the arcuate surface will tangentially intersect the stepped surfaces of rake members to provide an aesthetically pleasing transition from rake board to universal rake-ridge cap to rake board. The universal rake-ridge cap can quickly be fitted to any gable roof pitch simply by culling the universal rake-ridge cap to the angle or pitch required by the gable roof. No special tools are needed and the final result is both aesthetically pleasing as well as a significant time saver.
