Abstract
Abstract A FLEXIBLE PLASTIC MOLDING FOR COVERING THE JOINTS IN BUILDING PANELS. THE MOLDING INCLUDES A BASE WHICH COVERS THE JOINT BETWEEN THE PANELS AND A CURVED OR CONVEX OUTER SECTION IS CONNECTED ALONG TS SIDE EDGE TO THE BASE. A FASTENER, SUCH AS NAIL, IS DRIVEN THROUGH THE CURVED OUTER SECTION AND CONNECTS THE BASE TO THE PANEL. AS THE NAIL PASSES THROUGH THE OUTER SECTION, THE OUTER SECTION IS DEFORMED INWARDLY TOWARD THE BASE, AND A PROJECTION OR RIDGE ON THE BASE ENGAGES THE DEFORMED OUTER SECTION AND URGES IT OUTWARDLY TO ITS ORIGINAL POSITION AFTER THE NAIL HAS BEEN DRIVEN THROUGH.
