Fascia board connector

Abstract

A fascia system for a building is disclosed. The fascia system includes a sheet of material comprising a first part and a second part, as well as a first fascia board and a second fascia board. The first part is coupled to three sides of the first fascia board, and the second fascia board is held in a predetermined relationship with respect to the first fascia board in response to the second part being coupled to three sides of the second fascia board. In some embodiments the second part has a shape which is a mirror image of the shape of the first part. In some embodiments the sheet of material is composed of galvanized metal. In some embodiments a decorative pattern is applied to the sheet of material. A connector for connecting two boards is disclosed comprising a sheet of material further comprising a first part and a second part, wherein a first board is held in a predetermined position with respect to a second board in response to the first part being coupled to multiple sides of the first board, and the second part being coupled to multiple sides of the second board.

1 . A fascia system for a building comprising:
 a sheet of material comprising a first part and a second part;   a first fascia board, wherein the first part is coupled to three sides of the first fascia board; and   a second fascia board, wherein the second fascia board is held in a predetermined position with respect to the first fascia board in response to the second part being coupled to three sides of the second fascia board.   
     
     
         2 . The fascia system of  claim 1 , wherein the first part has a shape and the second part has a shape, wherein the shape of the second part is a minor image of the shape of the first part. 
     
     
         3 . The fascia system of  claim 1 , wherein a fold in the sheet of material is positioned according to a divot in the sheet of material. 
     
     
         4 . The fascia system of  claim 1 , wherein the sheet of material is composed of galvanized metal. 
     
     
         5 . The fascia system of  claim 1 , wherein the sheet of material is shaped as a concave decahedron. 
     
     
         6 . The fascia system of  claim 1 , wherein the sheet of material is shaped as a concave nonahedron. 
     
     
         7 . The fascia system of  claim 1 , wherein a decorative pattern is applied to the sheet of material. 
     
     
         8 . A connector for connecting two boards comprising:
 a sheet of material comprising a first part and a second part, wherein a first board is held in a predetermined position with respect to a second board in response to the first part being coupled to multiple sides of the first board and the second part being coupled to multiple sides of the second board.   
     
     
         9 . The connector of  claim 8 , wherein the sheet of material has a thickness between 0.01 inches and 0.30 inches. 
     
     
         10 . The connector of  claim 8 , wherein the first part is coupled to three sides of the first board. 
     
     
         11 . The connector of  claim 8 , wherein the sheet of material is composed of galvanized metal. 
     
     
         12 . The connector of  claim 8 , wherein a decorative pattern is applied to the sheet of material. 
     
     
         13 . The connector of  claim 8 , wherein the sheet of material is folded along a fold line defined by a divot. 
     
     
         14 . The connector of  claim 8 , wherein the sheet of material has a decorative shape. 
     
     
         15 . A method of repairing fascia boards comprising:
 removing old fasteners from a first fascia board and a second fascia board;   attaching a first part of a sheet of material to the first fascia board; and   attaching a second part of the sheet of material to the second fascia board, wherein the first and the second fascia board are held in a predetermined position with respect to one another in response to the first part being attached to the first fascia board and the second part being attached to the second fascia board.   
     
     
         16 . The method of  claim 15 , further comprising:
 folding the first part along fold lines determined by a first divot in the first part; and   folding the second part along fold lines determined by a second divot in the second part.   
     
     
         17 . The method of  claim 15 , wherein attaching a first part of a sheet of material to a first fascia board comprises attaching a first part of a sheet of material to a first fascia board using screws. 
     
     
         18 . The method of  claim 15 , further comprising:
 folding the first part such that a decorative pattern is exposed.   
     
     
         19 . The method of  claim 15 , further comprising:
 applying a decorative pattern to the sheet of material.   
     
     
         20 . The method of  claim 15 , further comprising:
 cutting the sheet of material into a decorative shape.
