Problems solved by technology

Roof ventilation is an important consideration in building construction, particularly in home construction because inadequate or poor ventilation can cause condensation problems in the roof and otherwise significantly impair energy efficiency.
Dampness from weather leads to condensation, which can cause damage to the structural or thermal properties of the roofing material.
Another common problem is energy inefficiency in a home due to poor heat ventilation in the attic.
The attic space of a home typically traps heat, whether externally from the sun or internally from a heating unit, which can result in excess heat buildup in the attic space.
Thus, if the antic space becomes too hot, heat is transferred to the rest of the house, thereby requiring more energy consumption to cool the house.
Because such cupola vent is mounted on the ridgeline of a roof, these types of vents do not provide optimal eaves-to-eaves ventilation.
The type of ventilator described by Kolt is not well suited to pitched roofs since, when mounted on the slope of a pitched roof, the vent sits at an angle...

Embodiment Construction

[0037]Referring to FIG. 1, a roof ventilator 10 according to a preferred embodiment of the present invention is shown. Roof ventilator 10 includes generally a base frame 20, a cover 40, and a plurality of louvers or slats 60.

[0038]In the preferred embodiment the base frame 20 includes a front end 22, a rear portion 24, and two side portions 26. As shown in FIG. 1, the front end 22 is wider than the rear portion 24, thus forming generally a trapezoidal shaped frame. By way of example only, the proximate dimensions of the base frame 20 is 28 inches in length (l) and 36 inches wide (w1) as defined in FIG. 2. One of skill in the art would recognize that the roof ventilator 10 can be of any proportionate size so as to accommodate various roof openings.

[0039]The base frame 20 has an opening 28 therein defined by side portions 26 and rear portion 24, the opening 28 adapted to cooperate with an opening in a roof. More specifically, the opening 28 will be defined by the contiguous edge 30 be...

Abstract

A semiconical shaped roof ventilator comprising a base frame, a cover integrally formed on the base frame and upwardly extending therefrom, the base frame and cover capable of being efficiently manufactured from a single piece of material so as to have improved durability, and wherein the roof ventilator has improved air ventilation due to its semiconical shape.

Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0001]1. Field of the Invention[0002]This invention relates to roof vents, and more particularly to dormer ventilators for pitch roofs.[0003]2. Background Information[0004]Roof ventilation is an important consideration in building construction, particularly in home construction because inadequate or poor ventilation can cause condensation problems in the roof and otherwise significantly impair energy efficiency. Dampness from weather leads to condensation, which can cause damage to the structural or thermal properties of the roofing material. Roof ventilation is necessary to avoid such condensation problems.[0005]Another common problem is energy inefficiency in a home due to poor heat ventilation in the attic. The attic space of a home typically traps heat, whether externally from the sun or internally from a heating unit, which can result in excess heat buildup in the attic space. Excess heat in the attic space can cause the temperature in the rest of the...
