Definitions

  • This disclosure relates generally to ridge vents for venting the roof of a building such as a house.
  • Ridge vents provide the necessary ventilation to the roof of a house or other building, inhibiting condensation in the roof due to the infiltration or otherwise collection of moisture into the roof or attic cavity.
  • Various ridge vents can employ vanes, grates, filters and louvers to permit air to be channeled between the roof and the atmosphere along the ridge of the building, while trying to inhibit rain from entering the roof through the vent.
  • a variety of caps and covers have been used to act as a guard to prevent the infiltration of rain.
  • prior art vents have thus far been ineffective in inhibiting the infiltration of snow and rain into the attic space, particularly in cases of snow storms, rain storms, and the like.
  • a hole in the sheathing is established along the peak, with the sheathing opening directly into an attic space of the building.
  • a ridge vent assembly typically formed of various elongated, perforated members arranged in an overlapping manner, or otherwise rolled along in a continuous length, is then mounted over the sheathing opening along the entire peak. More specifically, the ridge vent assembly can include flanges mounted along each side of the peak, with the flanges sitting atop the shingles or otherwise interlaced with the shingles.
  • heated air that collects in the attic space is permitted to escape from the residence through the ridge vent assembly, thereby providing for a more energy efficient, configuration, particularly during summer months when an owner may be trying to cool the air in the home while the attic space contains rather hot air.
  • the roof needs to be constructed in a manner which prevents the ingress of rain water. It is considered desirable to provide an arrangement which eases aspects of the overall construction, substantially inhibits the ingress of water/snow adjacent a ridge roof assembly and allows unobstructed flow of ventilation air moving under the sheathing and exiting the ridge vent.
  • Known ridge vents are typically formed using a non-woven synthetic fiber mat having randomly aligned fibers located over a vent slot at the roof ridge. Cap shingles are then installed over the non-woven synthetic fiber mat.
  • the synthetic fiber mat allows for air flow through the slot at the roof ridge, while addressing ingress of moisture and debris.
  • this type of vent may not be effective at stopping the ingress of most moisture coming up the roof slope, for example due to wind driven rain.
  • An improved ridge vent which facilitates adequate attic ventilation but at the same time inhibits the infiltration of snow particles, water droplets, water runoff of the roof surface, burning cinders, and/or other undesirable elements from the atmosphere from gaining entry into the roof via the ridge vent is desired.
  • the corrugated filter plates providing for a passage of air between the atmosphere and the opening, the corrugated filter plates having a pore size sufficient for facilitating the air passage of air through the corrugated filter plates while blocking passage of atmospheric particles through the corrugated filter plates.
  • FIG. 1 is a side end view of a ridge vent

  • FIG. 9b is a further alternative embodiment the filter plate of the roof vent shown in FIG 7;
  • FIG. 10 shows an alternative embodiment of sealing between adjacent filter plates of the ridge vent of Figure .
  • a ridge vent assembly 10 can include flanges 12 mounted along each side of the roof 9 peak, with the flanges 12 sitting atop the shingles 8 or otherwise interlaced with the shingles 8. With this construction, heated air that collects in the attic space 6 is permitted to escape from the residence (i.e. home) through the ridge vent assembly 10, thereby providing for a more energy efficient, configuration, particularly during summer months when an owner may be trying to cool the air in the home while the attic space contains rather hot air.
  • the ridge vent 10 for asphalt shingle or composition roofs is situated over a vent slot 28 (i.e. hole) located through the roof structure/sheathing 11 along a roof 9 ridge.

  • the each of the panels 10a, 10b have portions 11 a,11b joined at a ridge portion 130, such that the portions 11a,11b are at an acute angle with respect to one another measured from an interior of the ridge vent 10.
  • each of the portions 11a,11b have a respective filter plate 46 running along a length of the portion 11a, 11b, so that the ridge vent 10 provides a separate and distinct filter plate 46 on either side of the hole 28 in the roof 9 and corresponding opening 22 in the flange portion 12 of the ridge vent 10.
  • each of the portions 11a, 11b of the flange portion 12 meet at the opening 22, which can ne continuous of segmented along the hole 28 between the portions 11a,11b of the ridge vent 10.

  • the support portions 14 are configured to provide a passage (between the flange portion 12 and the cap 16) through which air can pass between the atmosphere and the opening 22, which can include a series of baffles 50 positioned on one or both of the flange portion 12 and the cap portion 16 in order to direct airflow as well as to inhibit a decrease in the separation distance (proportional to the available cross sectional area for airflow within the ridge vent 10 between the opposing filter plates 46) between the cap portion 16 and the flange portion 12.
  • the ridge vent 10 also includes the corrugated filter plate or strip 46, e.g. covered by the cap 16, on either side of the ridge vent 10 and positioned on either side of the central opening 22 between the cap 16 and the flange portion 12.

  • a sidewall 15 extending upwardly from the top surface 13 of the flange portion 12 can also be considered as part of the top surface 13 of the flange portion 12.
  • a sidewall 15 extending downwardly from the bottom/underside surface 17 of the cap 16 can also be considered as part of the bottom/underside surface 17 of the cap 16.

  • the ridge vent 10 can be considered as a ridge vent type for natural ventilation, as using the process of supplying and removing air through an indoor space (e.g. attic) without using mechanical systems.
  • Natural ventilation implemented by the ridge vent 10 can refer to the flow of external air to an indoor space as a result of pressure or temperature differences.
  • natural ventilation can be referred to as passive ventilation, as a way to provide attic ventilation for shingle roof assemblies is by nonpowered, passive ventilation based ridge vent 10. This method relies primarily on natural air convection— the upward movement of heated air because of its lower density— but may also take advantage of wind-generated pressure differences.
  • Natural convection can initiate the upward flow of air through an attic and through the ridge vent 10. This air current can be maintained to aid in continuous circulation of air through the attic if intake vents placed low in the attic make colder air available to replace the heated air exhausted through vents placed high in the attic. Convection-assisted ventilation can be effective when approximately equal amounts of ventilation opening areas are placed at the soffits or eave and at or near the top of the attic space, referred to as "balanced ventilation.” It is also recognized that the ridge vent 10 can be a powered type ridge vent rather than a passive type. For example, the ridge vent 10 can have a powered unit, e.g. a fan with corresponding drive mechanism (e.g. motor) for assisting flow of the passage of air through the corrugated filter plate 46.

It is recognized that the minimum net open area threshold can be a standard defined threshold, different for each country, province, and/or state based building codes/standards.
  • the total net free air flow area available would be the aggregate of the effective open area of each of the individual pore 47 cross sectional areas of the corrugated filter plate 46 and the open cross sectional area of an air gap between an end of the filter plate 46 and the adjacent surface 13,17.
