The flashing apparatus for external use on structures is capable of other embodiments and being practiced and carried out in various ways. Also, it is to be understood that the phraseology and terminology employed herein are for the purpose of descriptions and should not be regarded as limiting.
- As such, those skilled in the art will appreciate that the conception, upon which this disclosure is based, may readily be utilized as a basis for the designing of other structures, methods and systems for carrying out the several purposes of the present flashing apparatus for external use on structures. It is important, therefore, that the claims be regarded as including such equivalent constructions insofar as they do not depart from the spirit and scope of the present invention.

- Other objects, features and advantages of the present invention will become more readily apparent from the following detailed description of the preferred embodiment when considered with the attached drawings and appended claims.
-
FIG. 1 shows a perspective view of the flashing apparatus as it is shown in use. -
FIG. 2 shows a side view of the flashing apparatus as it is shown in use. -
FIG. 3 shows a perspective view of the flashing apparatus. -
FIG. 4 shows a perspective view of the various flashing apparati that incorporate aspects of the flashing apparatus into them. - With reference now to the drawings, and in particular to
FIGS. 1 through 4 thereof, a new flashing apparatus for external use on structures embodying the principles and concepts of the present invention and generally designated by thereference numeral 2 will be described. - As best illustrated in
FIGS. 1 through 4 , a number of construction components are utilized in conjunction with theflashing apparatus 2 to show how the flashingapparatus 2 interrelates with these items. First, astud 4 is shown as structural support for a structure. Thestud 4, in the completed product, would be not be visible, as it serves as a structural framework within the structure. Attached to thestud 4 would be a layer of sheathing 6 and a weatherresistant barrier 8. Thesheathing 6 andbarrier 8 could very well be incorporated into one item that is then fixedly attached to thestud 4. - Over the
barrier 8 is then attached a plurality of fibercement siding pieces 10. Each of the pieces has a length and a width, with the length being much longer than the width. The length of each of the fibercement siding pieces 10 is at least eight feet long, but can be longer as needed. Each of the fibercement siding pieces 10 has a width that can vary widely, depending on the manufacturer and the particular use or look desired for a particular structure. Each fibercement siding piece 10 also has two edges, atop edge 17 and abottom edge 15. - When placed against the weather
resistant barrier 8, the fibercement siding pieces 10 are placed in parallel rows. Normally, whenfiber cement siding 10 is placed against thebarrier 8, it is angled in a way that allows thebottom edge 15 of a particular fibercement siding piece 10 to overlap thetop edge 17 of a fibercement siding piece 10 that is below thefirst piece 10. In addition, all of the fibercement siding pieces 10 on a structure are overlapped in such a manner that the “butt joints,” which are the areas between two adjoining fibercement siding pieces 10 at the same level, are not at the same “vertical” location for each level. These characteristics ensure that the water dripping down against the exterior of a structure will not easily get behind the fibercement siding pieces 10. - However, without the flashing
apparatus 2, it is possible that small amounts of water could get in between adjacent fibercement siding pieces 10. However, proper use of the flashingapparatus 2 in conjunction with the fibercement siding pieces 10 will prevent this from happening. - The flashing
apparatus 2 itself comprises amain body 5 and alip 3. Themain body 5 ideally has a height of six (6) inches and has two edges, a top edge and a bottom edge. Themain body 5 also has a width of anywhere between five and one-fourths (5¼) of an inch and twelve (12) inches. The fibercement siding pieces 10 ideally has width dimensions of one of several different sizes, including 5¼, 6¼, 7¼, 8, 8¼, 9¼, and 12 inch widths. - Attached to the top edge of the
main body 5 of the flashingapparatus 2 is thelip 3. Thelip 3 is attached to the top edge of themain body 5 at a ninety degree angle and extends outward approximately one-fourth (¼) of an inch. When eachparticular flashing apparatus 2 is used in conjunction with two adjacent fibercement siding pieces 10, thelip 3 is wrapped over thetop edge 17 of each of the fibercement siding pieces 10 beforefasteners 18 are used to fixedly attach the fibercement siding pieces 10 to the weatherresistant barrier 8. - The
lip 3 of each flashingapparatus 2 essentially holds the flashingapparatus 2 in place against the weatherresistant barrier 8 and the fibercement siding pieces 10, especially before thefasteners 18 have been used to fixedly attach the fibercement siding pieces 10 to the weatherresistant barrier 8. In addition, the presence of aflashing apparatus 2 over each “butt joint” where two adjacent fibercement siding pieces 10 meet each other will prevent water seepage through this area, thereby further protecting the weatherresistant barrier 8, thesheathing 6, and thestud 4 from external moisture problems. - The
flashing apparatus 2 itself is preferably fabricated from galvanized steel. Theflashing apparatus 2 would come in a variety of colors, depending on the colors of fibercement siding pieces 10 that are available. - The concept of the
flashing apparatus 2 can also be utilized in other various shapes and sizes as well.FIG. 4 highlights various alternative embodiments of flashingapparati 2 that include abase 20, abent portion 22, and areverse bend 24 portion. Thebent portion 22 of each these alternative embodiments is attached at a ninety degree angle to thebase 20, while thereverse bend 24 is attached to thebent portion 22 and wraps around at a one-hundred eighty degree angle. Thevarious flashing apparati 2 shown inFIG. 4 are not to scale, as they generally have lengths of at least eight to ten feet. Furthermore, the width of each of thebases 20 is preferably between two to three and one-half inches and the width of eachbent portion 22 is ideally one to two and one-half inches. - With respect to the above description then, it is to be realized that the optimum dimensional relationships for the parts of the invention, to include variations in size, materials, shape, form, function and manner of operation, assembly and use, are deemed readily apparent and obvious to one skilled in the art, and all equivalent relationships to those illustrated in the drawings and described in the specification are intended to be encompassed by the present invention.
- Therefore, the foregoing is considered as illustrative only of the principles of the invention. Further, since numerous modifications and changes will readily occur to those skilled in the art, it is not desired to limit the invention to the exact construction and operation shown and described, and accordingly, all suitable modifications and equivalents may be resorted to, falling within the scope of the invention.
