Abstract
A window or door casing includes two side sections, a header or top section and bottom section. The bottom section also has caps attached at either end. The trim casing is mountable on a window or door frame and is securely fastened to the side of the house ensuring a tight fit and finished appearance.
Description
- The use of vinyl siding in place of wood, aluminum or other materials on the exterior of a house in new construction as well as remodeling has become quite prevalent. Such siding has historically been made of aluminum or wood. Window and door openings in the exterior wall of a house are generally trimmed with wood casings or moldings framing the window and providing an aesthetically finished exterior look. One version of such a window trim has been the “Eastern” casing. Typically, the window manufacturer attaches a 3-4″ wide board that is ¾″ to {fraction (5/4)}″ thick to the face of the window jamb and ships the window with this feature applied. Alternatively, the builder constructs the wood casing at the site. The house siding, whether wood or vinyl, is fitted to or butted up against the trim casing. In the case of vinyl siding, a “J” channel is nailed to the wall board and the vinyl siding slides behind the face of the J channel. One problem with this, however, is that the wooden casings are not compatible with aluminum or vinyl siding. For example, the wood requires continued painting, defeating the maintenance-free advantages of vinyl siding, the appearance will be inconsistent, and wood against vinyl creates the potential for unsightly gaps because of their different thermal characteristics.
- With the introduction of the vinyl window an Eastern casing trim option had not been available in an extruded vinyl add-on. Accordingly, builders desiring the aesthetics of an Eastern casing, were relegated to using wood and/or wood wrapped in aluminum cladding requiring custom fitting, a labor intensive and expensive process.
- U.S. Pat. No. 4,193,238 describes a window casing cover comprised of trim molding members that snap onto a plurality of separate brackets that are individually attached to the original casing. Although the covers provides a maintenance free surface, the numerous components involved and the “do it yourself” appearance of the add-on side portions and coverings do not offer the structure and strength or appearance of an integrated component, nor is the problem of differing thermal expansion/contraction resolved.
- U.S. Pat. No. 4,389,824 discloses window trim comprised of upper and side panels and a window sill covering. Each panel has a receiving strip which is fitted around the inside of the window casing and a substantially flat panel is bent at the site into an L-shaped configuration which is then fitted around the casing and overlies the siding. The receiving strip includes a spring held receiving slot for the L-shaped panel. U.S. Pat. No. 5,022,204 discloses a similar receiving strip and L-shaped facing strip in which the receiving strip may be attached to the front of the casing. Both of these approaches are time consulting to fabricate and install, are comprised of many components having different angles and fittings, and include the cumbersome method of using L-hooks screwed into the house to hold and align the strips.
- A do-it-yourself kit of prefabricated components for retrofitting cladding over an existing door or window frame is disclosed in U.S. Pat. No. 5,669,192. The kit comprises sections for covering the side and the header surfaces of the existing trim. A lengthwise lip folds inward along one edge of each section and a lengthwise flange portion folds inward around the opposite edge of each such section, gripping the trim in frictional engagement. A J-strip exists around the frame, to retain the siding, the folded flange fitting between the J-strip and the siding. A drawback of this approach is that the use of friction to hold the cladding in place lacks stability and durability and will result in an inconsistent fit and appearance over time.
- It is therefore an object of this invention to provide a window and door casing for use with new constriction as well as remodeling that is simple to fit and install, will provide a durable, secure and complete aesthetic finished look, and will not be subject to differing thermal characteristics, The trim casing is comprised of extruded portions or sections with an integral “J” channel built in providing superior aesthetic features; two side sections, a header or top section and, in the case of a window application a sill bottom section. The sill also has caps attached at either end. The trim casing is mountable on a window or door frame and is securely fastened to the side of the house ensuring a tight fit.
- In the preferred embodiment, the casing is comprised of extruded vinyl, and comprises pre-mitered side sections and the header section include a rapid fastening system incorporating a screw boss in the extrusion coupled with a tongue-in-groove design on the inside edge which is received by an accessory groove (channel) with a flexing accessory lock incorporated on the sides of the window or door frame, and a nailing fin on the opposite side, and in the case of a window, an extruded attachable sill nosing which simulates the thick wood look having insertable end caps to cover the open ends and an integral flange to cover the meeting point of the side casing to the sill nosing.
- A method of installing the casing consistent with the invention includes the steps of: in the case of new construction, first installing, leveling and squaring the window or door properly; securing the window or door by nails, staples or screws using the window's or door's nailing fin; pre-assembling the top section of the pre-mitered casing to the side casings, mating the angled ends thereof and then screwing the sections together; sliding the resulting three-sided “horseshoe” shaped assembly over the front of the window or door, the tongues of the assembly fitting into the accessory grooves located on the window or door frame. Then placing the tongue or flange of the sill section into the accessory groove on the bottom end of the window and snapping it onto place and/or tapping the assembly with a mallet to secure a snug fit, with the side sections also fitting behind flange at the meeting point of the side sections to the sill section and the end caps are fitted into the sides of the sill section. The sill section is then fastened to the side sections with screws and the casing is secured to the side of the house with nails using the attached nailing fins.
- These and other objects, features and advantages of the present invention will be better understood with reference to the detailed description of the preferred embodiment and the accompanying drawings.

InFIG. 2 the assembledcasing 10 is shown independent of the window or house. In thepreferred embodiment casing 10 is comprised of two side sections 5 a and 5 b, header or top section 5 c and sill orbottom section 6 withend caps 8 attached at either end of the sill. The sections of the casing may be pre-cut for standard sized windows or may be custom cut in advance or at the site, for non-standard sized windows. Preferably, thecasing 10 is comprised of extruded vinyl, although other materials such as aluminum, may be used. The top corners of side sections 5 a and 5 b are pre-mitered at 45° angles and meet flush with the ends of the top section 5 c which are also pre-mitered at 45° angles atcorners 7. It is appreciated that the mitered angles of the top and side sections may vary from 0-90° depending upon the aesthetic look desired or to combine with decorative caps or millwork, for example. It should also be understood that the same type of casing, with the exception of the sill, may be used in trimming a door or other opening. - Referring now again to
FIG. 2 , nailingfins 11 are located on the outside edges of the side and top sections 5 a, 5 b and 5 c. When thecasing 10 has been mounted on the window, nailingfins 11 sit flush against the sheathing or other underlayer of the house and nails are driven through the plurality of slottednail holes 12 extending the length of the nailing fins to further secure the casing to the house. Along the length of the inside edges of top and sides casings 5 a, 5 b and 5 c are locatedtongues 9 to be received by accessory grooves orchannels 18 inside the window frame 3 as shown inFIGS. 5, 10 a and 10 b. Along the inside edge ofsill 6 is located asill tongue 15 which is received by the accessory groove or channel 18 a in the bottom of the window frame 3 as shown inFIGS. 8 a, 8 b and 9. Preferably,sill tongue 15 has a notch or flange at its upper end to overlap a flexible locking accessory J7 in accessory groove 18 a in the bottom of the window frame. End caps 8 are attached tosill 6 to complete the finished look. - As seen in
FIGS. 3, 4 a, 4 b and 4 c, acomplete window casing 10 is comprised of few components and is easily assembled and mounted on the window frame. In the preferred embodiment, after first installing the window and window frame 3 in the house in known fashion, nails or screws are driven through thenail slots 31 in thewindow nailing fin 30 as shown inFIG. 5 into thesheathing 16, to secure the installed window. Then, as shown inFIGS. 3 and 4 a, the pre-mitered ends 7 of side sections 5 a and 5 b are placed adjacent to the pre-mitered ends 7 of top casing section 5 c and attached byscrews 13 inserted in the top casing, preferably through predrilled holes, into receivingscreen bosses 25 located in the side casings, creating a three-sided “horseshoe” shaped assembly. The horseshoe shaped assembly is then slidably mounted over the window frame 3,tongues 9 on the inside edges of the side sections 5 a and 5 b being first inserted in theaccessory grooves 18 of the sides of the window frame 3 as shown inFIGS. 5, 10 a and 10 b, then tongue-in-groove, sliding the three-sided assembly down over the front of the window frame, thetongues 9 of the side casing sections assembly fitting into theaccessory grooves 18 located on the sides of the window frame 3 until thetongue 9 of the top casing section 5 c mates with and is seated in theaccessory groove 18 of the top of the window frame. Referring toFIGS. 10 a and 10 b, in a preferred embodiment, nailingfin 11 of the side and top casings 5 a, 5 b and 5 c is in the form of an L-shaped flange, portion 11 a of the flange extends generally perpendicular from the back of the casing approximately ¾″ and the other portion 11 b of L-shapednailing fin 11 extends in a direction away from the window france 3 generally parallel with exterior face of the casing so that potion 11 b of nailingfin 11 lies essentially flush with the underlayer or sheathing 16 of the house. Portion 23 a of second L-shapedflange 23, extends generally perpendicular from the back of the casing approximately ¾″ and the other portion 23 b of said L-shapedflange 23 extends in a direction toward window frame 3 generally parallel with exterior face of the casing so that portion 23 b of L-shaped flange lies inslot 19 essentially flush with the nailingfin 30 of the window frame providing further support for the casing on the window frame. - Once the three-sided assembly is in place, preferably, at least one nail or screw will be driven through
nail slots 12 in each of the nailingfins 11 to hold the three-sided assembly in place on the window frame. As shown inFIGS. 3, 4 b, 4 c, 8 a, 8 b and 9,sill 6 is then raised upwards toward the bottom of the window frame 3 insertingsill tongue 15 into theaccessory groove 18 on the bottom of the window frame 3 and snapping it onto place. Preferably,sill tongue 15 is notched or flanged and lockingly engages flexibleaccessory lock 17 on the window frame. As shown inFIGS. 4 b and 4 c, thebottoms 27 of the side casings 5 a and 5 b seat flat onsill 6 at meetingplaces 26, behind the step 21 of tile sill, which may be tapped into place with a mallet, if necessary. End caps 8 are fitted into the sides of thesill section 6. Thesill 6 is then secured to the side casings 5 a and 5 b with screws 14 inserted in the sill and received inscrew bosses 25 located in the side casings. Preferably thesill 6 should havepre-drilled holes 32 to accommodate screws 14. The completedcasing 10 is then secured to the side of the house with nails, screws or staples being driven through nail holes 12 in nailingfins 11. Thereafter, siding 1 is then installed on the house in known fashion, the portion of the siding that lies adjacent to the window frame and casing being cut to fit snugly between the casing J-channel inrecess 33 formed by the back of the casing and L-shapedsection 11. - Referring to
FIG. 5 is shown a portion of the top and sides sections window frame 3, nailingfin 30 andnail slots 31 for securing the window frame to the house andaccessory groove 18 for receivingtongue 9 of the window casing andflexible accessory lock 17 to lockingly engage thetongue 9.Sill tongue 15 ofsill 6 is similarly received inaccessory groove 18 of the bottom section of the casing. It will be understood that not all window frames will have accessory groves. This particularly will be the case in older construction where the original windows and window frames are not being replaced. In order to use the casing system of the present invention with these older style windows, a pre-fabricated structure having an accessory groove can be installed around the periphery of the window frame to accommodate the casing. Such a device 35 as shown inFIG. 5 b, is essentially a C-shaped member and includesaccessory groove 18 and J-channel 17 and may be made of materials such as extruded vinyl or aluminum, for example. Device 35 may be affixed to the window frame in a conventional manner, such as by use of nails, screws or staples. - One side of
sill 6 andend cap 8 are shown in greater detail inFIGS. 6 and 7 . Thesill 6 includessill tongue 15 which is inserted inaccessory groove 18 of the bottom section of the window frame 3. In the preferred embodiment,sill tongue 15 has a notch or flange at one end which lockingly engages a J-channel 17 in the said accessory groove. As can be seen inFIG. 6 ,sill tongue 15 is recessed inwardly from the side ofsill 6 to enable the bottom 27 of the side casing sections 5 a, 5 b to seat flat onsill 6 at meetingplace 26, behind the step 21 extending upward from the sill. Preferably, themeeting place 26 is approximately the width of the side casing sections 5 a, 5 b which are maintained in place between the rear side of the step 21 and the exterior of thesiding 1 of the house. The end caps 8 may be made of the same material as the sill and are sized and configured to fit securely in the opposite sides of thesill section 6. As is also shown inFIG. 3, 4 b and 4 c, screws 14 are then inserted throughpre-drilled holes 32 in the sill andpre-drilled holes 33 in the end caps and received inscrew bosses 25 in the side casings 5 a and 5 b. - In addition to utilizing the casing as described in connection with windows, the casing of the present invention may be used in connection with doors, passageways, or any other type of opening in a structure. Further, the casing system of the present invention is not limited to four-sided openings, and may be utilized in archways calling for a curved trim, a one-piece ornamental header, a multi-sided window or other structure, and may be prefabricated or cut at the site.
- Although described in terms of the presently preferred embodiment, those skilled in the art will appreciate that the present invention is not limited to the embodiment described.
