Abstract
Two rigid surfaces are joined by a hinge to form a cover for a building ridge vent formed at the apex of a pitched roof. The hinge lies along the building ridge vent with the two rigid surfaces extending down each side of the pitched roof. The rigid surfaces of the cover affixed to the roof using standard roofing fasteners provide a rigid stable mounting surface for heavy loose laid roofing shingles.
Description
- Applicant claims the benefit of provisional application No. 60/692,614 filed on Jun. 22, 2005 for a Hinged Roof Ridge Vent Cover and incorporates the entire disclosure thereof herein by reference.
- 1. Field of the Invention
- The invention relates generally to roofing surfaces. More particularly, the invention relates to ridge vent covers.
- 2. Description of the Related Art
- The oil embargo in the early 1970's drove builders to make their buildings more energy efficient. To reduce energy consumption, builders began insulating their buildings more thoroughly. Modem buildings are well insulated thereby containing heat more effectively and requiring less energy to maintain an internal temperature.
- The hottest air in thoroughly insulated buildings rises and is trapped in the highest points in the buildings, such as the attic. This trapped heat presents a couple of challenges to builders and roofers. First, the trapped heat causes water to condense on the underside of the roof substructure. The condensation deteriorates the underside of the roof causing structural problems. Second, the trapped heat causes snow and ice to melt on the upper most portions of the roof. The water from the melted snow and ice runs down the roof to the eaves. If the outside air temperature is cold enough, the water runoff refreezes at the eaves causing an ice dam. Subsequent water runoff blocked by the ice dam backs up and refreezes causing damage to the roof.
- To ameliorate problems caused by trapped heat, roofers commonly do not place shingles over the top two inches of a building ridge, leaving an uncovered area. The uncovered area, known as a ridge vent, allows heat to escape. A semi-rigid covering is applied over the ridge vent to keep water from entering. A variety of semi-rigid coverings are available under trade names such as Cora Vent, Cobra Vent, Roll Vent or ProfileVent. These products which are flexible prevent water from entering while allowing hot air to escape.
- Roofers, however, have encountered two significant problems when mounting shingles directly to flexible ventilation material. First, the shingles have a tendency to “blow off” during high wind conditions. Second, the flexible ventilation material cannot support the weight of heavier shingles, such as slate, for example. Heavier shingles will cause the semi-rigid ventilation covers to sag and fall off. Applicant's invention, a solid ridge vent cover, does not have any of these problems, besides bringing a degree of sturdiness to ridge vent covers not possible before.
- The ridge vent cover of the present invention has two rigid elongated surfaces joined by a hinge. The hinge allows the ridge vent to be easily adjusted to the pitch of the roof. Multiple unhinged elongated surfaces, of at least two different lengths are hinged together so the left and right elongated surfaces overlap, along the entire open ridge of the roof. The hinge joining the elongated surfaces allows the rigid surfaces to rest on either side of a laid roof, along the entire open ridge of the roof, regardless of pitch. The rigid surfaces are affixed to the roof by standard roofing fasteners. The hinged solid surfaces present a stable rigid surface for mounting heavy loose laid shingle such as slate, synthetic slate and tile.

Four or more threeinch screws 26 are screwed through each one of the left and rightrigid surfaces shingles 28 and the roof nail strip. Drip edges 18 are fitted over the lower edges of the left and rightrigid surfaces - The series of staggered interlocking hinged rigid surfaces provide a ridge vent structure across the entire ridge line. The
screws 26 secure the ridge vent cover to the roof preventing uplift and blow off. The left and rightrigid surfaces - In the illustrated embodiment the rigid surfaces are staggered by sixteen inches. Different stagger lengths could be used. The
