Benefits of technology

"The present invention provides materials and a method to create a ventilation air intake at the bottom of a concrete or ceramic tile roof near the eave. This helps to improve the air flow and cooling of the roof."

Problems solved by technology

Heating and cooling buildings is a necessity and requires energy which is not free.
During the cold period, winter, poor ventilation will cause moisture to build up in the sheet rock, ceiling insulation, wood framing and roof sheathing.
During the hot period, summer, poor ventilation will cause temperatures to increase in the attic by 40 degrees over the outside air temperature.
Both of these conditions are detrimental and will require increased energy to offset.
The eave vents offered by Lomanco are suitable but can only be used on an extended eave having a freezeboard or soffit to install the vent.

Embodiment Construction

[0024]FIG. 1 is a top perspective view of a field of roof tile showing the present invention of a ventilator device installed under the third row of tile with detail on further figures.

[0025]FIG. 2 is a sectional detail view of a relationship between the elements of the invention, roof tile and roof structure. tile riser 31 is detailed on FIGS. 4&5 and is a method of lifting the nose of the tile to allow flow of ventilation air. anchor batten 13, tile 20, fastener 14, and flashing 33 are all fastened to roof sheathing 12.

[0026]FIG. 3 is a sectional detail view of the relationship between the elements of the invention, roof tile and roof structure. FIG. 3 is the same as FIG. 2 except that it shows an optional change in the tile riser to 32.

[0027]FIG. 4 is an elevation view of an of the molded rubber or plastic tile riser 31 of this invention. this is a likely design for the riser; however, this design could be changed in the future for convenience.

[0028]FIG. 5 is a right elevation vi...

Abstract

In accordance with the present invention, what is provided are materials and a method to create an intake of ventilation air at the low portion of a concrete or ceramic tile roof near the eave of the roof.

Description

RELATED APPLICATIONS[0001]The present application is a continuation-in-part application of U.S. provisional patent application Ser. No. 61 / 188,069, filed Aug. 5, 2008, for TILE ROOF VENTILATOR, by John A Trischan, included by reference herein and for which benefit of the priority date is hereby claimed.FIELD OF THE INVENTION[0002]The present invention relates to providing adequate ventilation in the attic of a building which has a roof covered with concrete or ceramic tile. Attic ventilation requires a source of both intake air and exhaust air. Since it is common knowledge that warm air rises above cool air the best method of creating a ventilation flow is to provide the intake air at the lower section near the eaves and the exhaust at the upper section near the ridge. This invention is specifically intended to provide the intake air at the lower section of the attic near the eaves. There are many existing forms of ventilation equipment that are suitable for the upper ventilation ne...
