Abstract

A ridge vent for covering an open ridge of a roof comprises an elongated panel having two opposed lateral edges; a pair of elongated sidewalls, each extending downward from one of the lateral edges; a pair of elongated floor portions, each extending outward from one of the sidewalls; a pair of elongated baffles, each extending upward from one of the floor portions, each baffle combining with one of the sidewalls and one of the floor portions to form an elongated trough along one side of the panel; and a filtering structure over each trough between the sidewall and the baffle to prevent particles and debris from collecting in the trough while allowing free flow of air.

Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

[0001] 1. Field of the Invention

[0002] This invention generally relates to a ventilation system for covering an opening along the ridge of a roof. More specifically, this invention relates to a roof ridge vent assembly including vent panels placed end-to-end over the ridge of a roof to allow for ventilation of air through the ridge.

[0003] 2. Description of the Related Art

[0004] Roof ridge ventilators are commonly installed over an opening along the length of a building at the ridge of the roof in order to reduce the heat that builds up in the space below the roof or in the attic. Ridge ventilators allow naturally rising hot air to escape the attic through an elongated ridgeline opening within the roof decking. The elongated ridgeline opening is typically formed by making two elongated cuts in the roof deck, each cut substantially parallel to the ridge, the cuts being on opposite sides of the ridge. Generally, ventilation helps to prevent degradation of the roo...
