Abstract

An improved roof ridge cover. The roof ridge cover is formed to give the visual appearance of multiple shingles. The edges of the roof ridge cover wrap around existing roof shingles. The cover is stone coated to provide similar appearance to the adjacent roof shingle surfaces. Optional venting material may be used under the cover to allow air to vent from the attic thereby allowing the attic to breathe, although the vent material is sufficiently dense to prevent insects and bugs from passing through the vent material.

IPC Classes  ?

• E04D 1/30 - Special roof-covering elements, e.g. ridge tiles, gutter tiles, gable tiles, ventilation tiles
• E04D 1/34 - Fastenings for attaching roof-covering elements to the supporting elements
• E04D 13/17 - Ventilation of roof coverings not otherwise provided for
• E04D 1/26 - Strip-shaped roofing elements appearing as a row of shingles
• E04D 1/00 - Roof covering by making use of tiles, slates, shingles, or other small roofing elements

Abstract

Improvements in a roof ridge cover formed to give the appearance of multiple shingles. The roof ridge cover is fabricated with bend radius to ensure that the elongated base material is not stretched beyond the yield point of the material where it can rupture or split. The edges wrap around existing roof tiles to cover any damaged tiles and provide sufficient clearance of adjacent or abutting ridge covers. The cover is stone coated to provide similar appearance to the roof surface. The stone coatings provide surface protection, wear resistance and provide a gripping surface for installers or others that may walk on the roof surface. Optional venting material may be used under the cover to allow air to vent from the attic thereby allowing the attic to breath, but the vent must also be sufficiently dense enough to prevent insects and bugs from passing through the vent material.
