Appl. No.:

11/683974

Inventors:

Terry E. Anderson - Highland UT, US

International Classification:

E04D 13/12
E04D 13/00

US Classification:

52 57, 52 42, 52711, 52701, 248237, 182 45

Abstract:

An apparatus and method for roof ridge construction are provided. Ridge risers are used to securely retain an attachment block above sheathing portions at an elevation sufficient to permit air venting through the ridge. The ridge risers have legs with one or more weakened regions (such as scores) that permit easy folding so that the legs can be attached to the sheathing and/or rafter portions. A set of attachment holes may be positioned below each of the weakened regions. The legs are joined to a cradle in which the attachment block rests. The attachment block is retained within the cradle via a mechanism such as fasteners, retention cleats, and retention assemblies with tabs designed to be driven into the attachment block. Roof covering elements, such as shingles, shakes, tiles, slate units, metal units, and synthetic ridge covering elements, are attached to the roofing block.

Inventors:

Terry Elmer Anderson - Highland UT

International Classification:

E04D 1310

US Classification:

52 26

Abstract:

A snow bracket is disclosed comprising an elongated body with a snow retention end and a roof attachment end. The snow retention end has a snow barrier means constructed and configured to inhibit sliding of snow from a roof to which the snow bracket is attached. The roof attachment end is bent into a barb with a point extending toward the snow retention end, the point adapted to be held in a roof batten to inhibit the tendency of forces of the snow load on the snow bracket to straighten out the end.
