Outside corner post protector and repair device for siding

Abstract

A device used to cover the breaks or holes in exterior vinyl or other type of siding on the exterior corners of buildings. The comer repair and protector is a one-piece unit usually made of metal, but can be made of other materials. It is shaped like the corner of a building and has edges formed to snap it onto the existing siding to hold it securely in place. The comer protector is made in a variety of colors matching the colors of existing siding manufacturers for the purpose of making the repaired comer visually undetectable and appearing as if the original siding were undamaged. It has tabs on the bottom, which cover any openings between the existing siding and the structure to which it is attached for purposes of keeping out wind, small animals, and birds.

1 . A device to cover corners of exterior siding on structures, comprised of: 
 (a) a one piece unit formed as an exterior building corner designed to wrap around and permanently attach to siding on exterior corners, and(b)    (b) said one piece unit is of predetermined size and shape determined by the size and shape of the existing siding corner to which it will attach, and    (c) said unit is also formed to cover openings at the bottom of corners occurring between the corner of a building and siding which has been previously installed on said building.    Whereby said device covers all forms of previously manufactured corners of exterior siding presently installed on corners of buildings thereby covering any incongruencies in the original siding while being almost unnoticeable. Said device may also be used to reinforce undamaged siding corners and protect against any future damage.
