Embodiment Construction

[0009]The examples described and the drawings rendered are illustrative and are not to be read as limiting the scope of the invention as it is defined by the appended claims.

[0010]FIG. 1 A illustrates an example of a tile ridge vent system comprising a metal, such as galvanized steel, sheet deformed into a tile ridge vent system having fastening areas 13, 23, 32, 34, 42, 44, vent regions 26, 36, 28, 38, opposite sides 4 and 6 of the ridge and top ridge portions 8, 10, 11 joining a first side 6 and a second side 4. FIG. 1A shows a left-side of a tile ridge vent system that extends along a ridge line of a roof (not shown) and ends in a symmetrical right end (not shown).

[0011]An open channel 40 extends along the length of the ribbed tile ridge vent system as shown in FIG. 1A. Alternatively, baffles or barriers may be inserted along the length of the tile ridge vent system in order to divide the channel into sections.

[0012]A fastening area such as fastening area 22, may have a length of...

Abstract

An integrated tile ridge vent system which more efficiently vents hot air along a ridge of a tile roof includes a structural sheet material formed to provide two opposing sides having feet and vents alternating along the length of the two sides. The feet provide a contact area for fastening to a roof structure, while the vents provide an opening between each of the feet to vent hot air from a tile roof ridge. A screen may be provided to screen the vents, preventing intrusion of pests and debris through the vents. Installed along a roof ridge having a gap formed by decking or sheathing materials, the vents of vent system provide elongated slots under the tiles for releasing hot air from an attic, crawl space or living area, which rises due to thermo convection of the hot air, cooling a structure and reducing humidity by releasing warm, moist air from the structure.

Description

FIELD OF THE INVENTION[0001]The field relates to tile ridges and vents.BACKGROUND[0002]U.S. Pat. No. 6,554,700 discloses a tile roof ridge vent used to vent an attic area of a dwelling, which requires a nailer board for securing the vent to trusses. Tile boards which require installation of a nailer board may be found in references such as U.S. Pat. No. 5,339,582, U.S. Pat. No. 6,537,147, U.S. Pat. No. 6,966,156 and U.S. Patent Publication No. 2003 / 0140582.[0003]U.S. Pat. No. 6,554,700 and U.S. Patent Appl. No. 2006 / 0121845 require multiple components for assembly and vent air in a cap tile area, which will necessarily trap the vented air in one location. None of the known solutions provide for both structural integrity and venting of air over a wide area using a single structural ridge component.SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION[0004]A tile ridge vent comprises a structural sheet formed into the shape of a roof ridge. The roof ridge is formed to have two opposing sides joined by a ridge, su...
