Abstract
Abstract A panel for the constructing of a building exterior comprising facing material secured to a sheathing so as to be contiguous with one end edge of the sheathing and to approach the opposite end edge of the sheathing in spaced relation to provide a blank space. Such panels are joined in end-to-end overlapping relation with the sheathing of one panel disposed in the blank space provided at the opposite end edge of the other panel over the sheathings of the other panel and with the facing material contiguous with the one edge of the one panel disposed in the blank space provided at the opposite end edge of the other panel and in side-by-side relation with the facing material of the other panel.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 5
Claim 1
Independent Claim
166 words
A panel assembly for a building exterior comprising first and second panels, each of said panels comprising a horizontally extending structural sheathing strip and facing material fixedly secured to said sheathing strip, said facing material being spaced from one end edge of said sheathing strip to form a blank space on the sheathing strip between said one end edge of the sheating strip and the corresponding edge of the facing material but extending coterminously with the other end edge of said sheathing strip, said first and second panel arranged in end-toend overlapping relationship with said other end of said second panel sheathing strip overlying the blank space on said one end of said first panel sheathing strip so that a double thickness of structural sheathing material is formed and the facing material at the other end of said second panel sheathing is immediately adjacent the end edge of the facing material that is spaced from the said one end edge of said first panel sheathing strip.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
166 words
A panel assembly for a building exterior comprising first and second panels, each of said panels comprising a horizontally extending structural sheathing strip and facing material fixedly secured to said sheathing strip, said facing material being spaced from one end edge of said sheathing strip to form a blank space on the sheathing strip between said one end edge of the sheating strip and the corresponding edge of the facing material but extending coterminously with the other end edge of said sheathing strip, said first and second panel arranged in end-toend overlapping relationship with said other end of said second panel sheathing strip overlying the blank space on said one end of said first panel sheathing strip so that a double thickness of structural sheathing material is formed and the facing material at the other end of said second panel sheathing is immediately adjacent the end edge of the facing material that is spaced from the said one end edge of said first panel sheathing strip.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
40 words
A panel construction in according with claim 1 wherein each of said panels includes a membrane of waterproof material disposed on and generally coextensive with said sheathing, said membrane being between said sheathing and said facing material fixedly secured thereto.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
306 words
A panel assembly for a building exterior comprising a plurality of structural panels, including first and second panels, each of the panels comprising a horizontally extending sheathing strip and facing material fixedly secured to said sheathing strip, said facing material being spaced from one end edge of said sheathing strip to form a blank space on the sheathing strip between said one end edge and the corresponding edge of the facing material but extending coterminously with the other end edge of said sheathing strip, said first and second panels arranged in end-to-end overlapping relationship with said other end of said second panel sheathing strip overlying the blank space of said one end of said first panel sheathing strip so that a double thickness of sheathing material is formed and the facing material at the other end of said second panel sheathing is immediately adjacent the end edge of the facing material that is spaced from the said one end edge of said first panel sheathing strip, the surfacing material of each panel being disposed on the corresponding sheathing strip with the upper horizontal edge of the material spaced from the corresponding upper edge of the sheathing strip to provide an upper sheathing margin and with the other lower horizontal edge portions of the surfacing material extending beyond the corresponding lower horizontal edge of the sheathing strip to form a lower extension, the upper sheathing margin being adapted to overlie the lower edge portion and the lower extension of a next like upper panel, the lower extension and the lower edge portion of the sheathing strip being adapted to overlie the upper edge portion of the sheathing strip of the next lower panel and the lower extension of the surfacing material being adapted to overlie the upper portion of the surfacing material of the next lower panel.
