- The invention relates to ventilation of roofs and more particularly to a roof having improved ventilating arrangements.
- 2. Description of Related Art
- A conventional ventilating roof is shown in
FIG. 1 and comprises the following components. A pair of spacedbase members 13 is formed upwardly from top edges of aroof structure 10. A ventilating ridge roll 11 having a triangular longitudinal section is spaced above thebase members 13 and in covering relation thereto. A pair ofside panels 12 is provided outwardly of the ventilatingridge roll 11 and spaced from the ventilatingridge roll 11, thebase members 13, and the sloping portion of theroof structure 10. Thus, ventilation of a house having theroof structure 10 can be carried out by exiting hot air out of the house via a path from a gap between the ventilatingridge roll 11 and a top end of thebase member 13, a space defined by theroof structure 10, thebase member 13, the ventilatingridge roll 11, and theside panel 12, and a gap between a top end A1 of theside panel 12 and an outer end B1 of the ventilatingridge roll 11. - U.S. Pat. No. 8,322,088 discloses a ventilated roof structure which has the same inventor as the present invention. The U.S. Patent is characterized by that a modular roofing panel unit adapted to form part of an outermost layer of a roof which extends outwardly and downwardly to cover a space thereunder and terminates at an overhanging eave; a wall unit secured to the modular roofing panel unit distal the overhanging eave, extending downwardly to terminate at an anchored end, and disposed to partition the space under the roof into outside and inside spaces, the wall unit being configured to have a vent for communicating with the inside and outside spaces; and a modular drainage-route forming panel unit having an upper end secured to the overhanging eave with an adaptor such that a gap is formed between the drainage route forming panel unit and the overhanging eave, the modular drainage-route forming panel unit extending downwards to separate the outside space into an airflow transit chamber and an outdoor space, and terminating at an anchoring edge which is secured directly to the anchored end, the modular drainage-route forming panel unit being configured to have a drainage port which is disposed proximate to the anchored end, and which extends to communicate the airflow transit chamber with the outdoor space. A roof made based on the Patent enjoys a great success in the market. But advancement of the art is always desired.
