Top course molding
View Patent ↗A trim piece for use with siding. The trim piece includes a proximal end portion that is adapted to engage a support structure such as a clip. A cover piece extends from the proximal end portion. When used as top course molding, the cover piece may cover the nailing hem of an underlying piece of siding. A distal end portion of the cover piece may be comprised of a flexible plastic material in order to account for the slop of the siding.

a generally J-shaped cover piece, said cover piece having a distal end portion that is also generally J-shaped;
wherein said distal end portion is at least partially comprised of a flexible plastic material and a remaining portion of said cover piece is comprised of a rigid plastic material.
2. The trim component of claim 1 wherein:
said flexible plastic material is a flexible vinyl compound; and
said rigid plastic material is a rigid vinyl compound.
3. The trim component of claim 1 wherein:
a portion of said distal end portion that connects to said remaining portion of said cover piece is comprised of said flexible plastic material; and
a remaining portion of said distal end portion is comprised of said rigid plastic material.
4. The trim component of claim 1 wherein said flexible plastic material is a flexible urethane compound.
5. A trim component comprising:
a proximal end portion adapted to engage a support structure; and
a cover piece connected to said proximal end portion at about a 90 degree angle, said cover piece having a distal end portion that is generally J-shaped;
wherein said distal end portion is at least partially comprised of a flexible plastic material and a remaining portion of said cover piece is comprised of a rigid plastic material.
6. The trim component of claim 5 wherein said proximal end portion has at least one rib adapted to engage said support structure.
7. The trim component of claim 5 wherein said cover piece is generally J-shaped.

9. The trim component of claim 5 wherein:
a portion of said distal end portion that connects to said remaining portion of said cover piece is comprised of said flexible plastic material; and
a remaining portion of said distal end portion is comprised of said rigid plastic material.
10. The trim component of claim 5 wherein said flexible plastic material is a flexible urethane compound.
11. The trim component of claim 5 wherein said distal end portion is connected to said remaining portion of said cover piece at about a 90 degree angle.
12. A trim component comprising:
a proximal end portion having at least one rib adapted to engage a support structure; and
a cover piece connected to said proximal end portion at about a 90 degree angle, said cover piece having a distal end portion that is generally J-shaped and at least partially comprised of a flexible plastic material;
wherein a remaining portion of said cover piece is comprised of a rigid plastic material.
13. The trim component of claim 12 wherein said cover piece is generally J-shaped.
14. The trim component of claim 12 wherein:
said flexible plastic material is a flexible vinyl compound; and
said rigid plastic material is a rigid vinyl compound.
15. The trim component of claim 12 wherein:
a portion of said distal end portion that connects to said remaining portion of said cover piece is comprised of said flexible plastic material; and
a remaining portion of said distal end portion is comprised of said rigid plastic material.
16. The trim component of claim 12 wherein said flexible plastic material is a flexible urethane compound.
17. The trim component of claim 12 wherein said distal end portion is connected to said remaining portion of said cover piece at about a 90 degree angle.
