Abstract:
One variation of an exterior cladding system includes a set of panels including a first panel and a second panel, each panel in the set of panels including: a face; an upper flange extending from an upper edge of the face and defining a receiver; a hang tab extending from the upper flange substantially parallel to the face, offset from the face by a first depth, and defining a fastener bore; a lower flange extending from a lower edge of the face; a lock tab extending from the lower flange opposite the upper flange by a first height and offset from the face by a second depth less than the first depth; and a striker extending from the lower flange opposite the upper flange by a second height less than the first height.

Claim (Index 2):
An exterior cladding system, comprising:\n a first panel\n comprising:\n a first face; \n a first upper flange extending from a first upper edge of the first face, declining away from the first face, and defining a first receiver and a first drainage port; and \n a first hang tab extending from the first upper flange substantially parallel to the first face, offset from the first face by a first depth, and defining a first elongated slot; and \n \n configured to hang from a first fastener passing through the first elongated slot and into an adjacent wall structure; and \n a second panel\n comprising:\n a second face; \n a second upper flange extending from a second upper edge of the second face, declining away from the second face, defining a second receiver and a second drainage port; and \n a second hang tab extending from the second upper flange substantially parallel to the second face, offset from the second face by the first depth, and defining a second elongated slot; \n \n configured to hang from a second fastener passing through the second elongated slot and into the adjacent wall structure; and \n further comprising:\n a second lower flange extending from a second lower edge of the second face and declining away from the second face and configured to collect fluid passing down the second face; and \n a second lock tab extending from the second lower flange opposite the second upper flange by a first height, offset from the second face by a second depth less than the first depth, configured to pass through the first receiver of the first panel to constrain the second lower flange of the second panel, and configured to cooperate with the second lower flange to deposit fluid onto the first flange of the first panel between the first hang tab and the first face.
