Abstract

A siding clip may include at least one tab having a tab through hole, a base having at least one base through hole, and a side portion affixed to an edge of the at least one tab at a first side portion end and to an edge of the base at a second side portion end, thereby forming a gap between the at least one tab and the base. The tab through hole is disposed opposite to one of the at least one base through holes. The siding clip further includes at least one coupling flange having a plane parallel to a plane of the at least one tab, and having at least one insertion feature. The at least one coupling flange is disposed in a direction opposite to a direction of the at least one tab.

Claims (26)

1. A siding clip comprising:

a single tab comprising a single tab through hole;

a base comprising a single base through hole, wherein the single base through hole is disposed in a medial longitudinal portion of the base;

a side portion affixed to an edge of the single tab at a first side portion end and to an edge of the base at a second side portion end, thereby forming a gap between the single tab and the base, wherein the single tab through hole is disposed opposite to the single base through hole; and

at least one coupling flange having a plane parallel to a plane of the single tab and comprising at least one insertion feature,

wherein the at least one coupling flange is disposed in a direction opposite to a direction of the single tab, and

wherein a longitudinal extent of the single tab overlaps only the medial portion of the base.

2. The siding clip of claim 1 , wherein the single tab is centered along a lateral length of the siding clip.

3. The siding clip of claim 1 , wherein the at least one coupling flange comprises two coupling flanges, and a first coupling flange is disposed proximate to a first lateral end of the siding clip and the second coupling flange is disposed proximate to a second lateral end of the siding clip.

4. The siding clip of claim 3 , wherein the first coupling flange comprises a first bidentate insertion feature and the second coupling flange comprises a second bidentate insertion feature.

5. The siding clip of claim 1 , wherein the gap is configured to receive an edge of a first siding portion.

6. The siding clip of claim 1 , wherein the at least one coupling flange is configured to be received by an edge groove of a second siding portion.

7. A siding clip comprising:

at least one tab comprising a tab through hole;

a base comprising at least one base through hole;

a side portion affixed to an edge of the at least one tab at a first side portion end and to an edge of the base at a second side portion end, thereby forming a gap between the at least one tab and the base, wherein the tab through hole is disposed opposite to one of the at least one base through holes; and

at least one coupling flange having a plane parallel to a plane of the at least one tab and comprising at least one insertion feature,

wherein the at least one coupling flange is disposed in a direction opposite to a direction of the at least one tab

wherein the at least one tab comprises a first tab and a second tab, and the at least one base through hole comprises a first base through hole and a second base through hole, and

wherein the at least one coupling flange comprises a single coupling flange disposed medially between the first tab and the second tab.

8. The siding clip of claim 7 , wherein the first tab is disposed proximate to a first lateral end of the siding clip and the second tab is disposed proximate to a second lateral end of the siding clip.

9. The siding clip of claim 7 , wherein a tab through hole of the first tab is disposed opposite to the first base through hole and a tab through hole of the second tab is disposed opposed to the second base through hole.

10. The siding clip of claim 7 , wherein the coupling flange comprises a first bidentate insertion feature and a second bidentate insertion feature.

11. The siding clip of claim 10 , wherein the first bidentate insertion feature is disposed proximate to a first lateral end of the coupling flange and the second bidentate insertion feature is disposed proximate to a second lateral end of the coupling flange.

12. The siding clip of claim 7 , wherein the gap is configured to receive an edge of a fourth siding portion between the first tab and the base, and the gap is configured to receive an edge of a fifth siding portion between the second tab and the base.

13. The siding clip of claim 7 , wherein the coupling flange is configured to be received by an edge groove of at least a sixth siding portion.
