FIG. 1 is a top perspective view of a drip flange with backing strip, showing our new design;

FIG. 2 is a bottom perspective view of the drip flange with backing strip of FIG. 1

FIG. 3 is a front elevational view of the drip flange with backing strip of FIG. 1;

FIG. 4 is a rear elevational view of the drip flange with backing strip of FIG. 1;

FIG. 6 is a right elevational view of the drip flange with backing strip of FIG. 1;

FIG. 7 is a top plan view of the drip flange with backing strip of FIG. 1; and,

FIG. 8 is a bottom plan view of the drip flange with backing strip of FIG. 1.

The broken lines in FIGS. 1-2 and 5-6 are included for purposes of illustrating portions of the drip flange with backing strip that form no part of the claimed design. The drip flange with backing strip is shown with symbolic breaks in its length and in the height of one of its flanges. The symbolic breaks are depicted using dash-dot lines and brackets. The appearance of any portion of the drip flange with backing strip between and including the break lines forms no part of the claimed design.

The stippling in FIGS. 1-6 and 8 indicates a different surface for the backing strip than the drip flange.
