A fastening member for the vertical board siding, which comprises; a main metal fitting comprising a flat substrate, first and second upright portions formed at the upper and lower end portions of the flat substrate, respectively and extending in the horizontal direction, a third upright portion formed along the longitudinal direction of the flat substrate, and an engaging portion formed at a distal end of the third upright portion; and an auxiliary metal fitting adapted to be detachably engaged with the main metal fitting and comprises a first horizontal portion adapted to be placed on the second upright portion of the main metal fitting, and a second horizontal portion adapted to support a lower end portion of the siding board to be fastened. |

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION Preferable embodiments of this invention will be explained in details below with reference to the drawings.
FIGS.
1a and 1b is a perspective view of a fastening member for vertical board siding representing one embodiment of this invention, wherein FIG.
1(a) illustrates a main metal fitting and FIG.
1(b) illustrates an auxiliary metal fitting.
In this embodiment, the main metal fitting 20 is manufactured by subjecting a stainless steel to punching and then to sheet metal working.
Specifically, this main metal fitting 20 comprises a flat substrate 21 constituting a surface for attaching the main metal fitting 20 to a building frame, i.
e.
a framework including posts and studs, a first upright portion 22 which has been formed by bending the upper end portion of the substrate 21 by an angle of approximately 90.
degree.
thereby rendering the bent portion to extend horizontally, the tip end portion of the first upright portion 22 being further bent upward by an angle of 90.
degree.
thereby to form a vertical plane 22a which is parallel with the substrate 21, and a second upright portion 23 which has been formed by bending the lower end portion of the substrate 21 by an angle of approximately 90.
degree.
thereby rendering the bent portion to extend horizontally, the tip end portion of the second upright portion 23 being further bent downward by an angle of 90.
degree.
thereby to form a vertical plane 23a which is parallel with the substrate 21.
The first upright portion set forth in this specification is constituted by this first upright portion 22 and the vertical plane 22a, while the second upright portion set forth in this specification is constituted by this second upright portion 23 and the vertical plane 23a.
A portion of the substrate 21 which is located between the first upright portion 22 and the second upright portion 23 is cut and bent perpendicular to the surface of the substrate 21, thereby forming a third upright portion 26.
The height "H" of this third upright portion 26 is set higher than the height "h" of both first and second upright portions 22 and 23, the difference between them (H-h) corresponding to the thickness of the tip ends of the rabbeted edge portion 10a of a siding board 10 to be fastened (see FIGS
