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 1):
An exterior cladding system, comprising:\n a set of panels comprising a first panel and a second panel, each panel in the set of panels comprising:\n a face; \n an upper flange extending from an upper edge of the face and defining a receiver; \n 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; \n a lower flange extending from a lower edge of the face; \n 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 \n a striker extending from the lower flange opposite the upper flange by a second height less than the first height; \n wherein the first panel is configured to hang from a first fastener passing through the fastener bore in the first panel and into an adjacent wall structure; and wherein the second panel is configured to hang from a second fastener passing through the fastener bore in the second panel and into the adjacent wall structure with the lock tab of the second panel passing through and constrained by the receiver of the first panel and with the striker of the second panel contacting the upper flange of the first panel to set a gap between the upper edge of the first panel and the lower edge of the second panel.
