Description

The invention relates to a ridge and / or ridge cover according to the preamble of claim 1 and a method to produce a ridge and / or ridge cover after the preamble of claim 24.

DE-GM 92 17 733 is a generic ridge and / or Burr cover known. The one described there The ridge and / or ridge cover has a first section, on the two sides of which there is a second and third section connect, as well as an outer Section attached to the third section becomes. The first three sections are made of a hard plastic and the outer section from a slightly compliant, bendable and very stretchable material. Each of the sections is opposite to the adjacent means folds running in the longitudinal direction of the masking tape bendable. Over the first section is the masking tape attached to a ridge batten or a batten, in second section are bulges with breakthroughs trained, via which the ventilation takes place, and the third section has projections in the form of support knobs on that as a spacer opposite the ridge tile serve to always for a defined gap width between the cover and the inside of the adjacent ridge or Burr cap to worry.

One disadvantage of the known cover is that only the second section breakthroughs for ventilation having. On the other hand, the well-known Cover the mentioned support knobs on the cap legs necessary to ensure adequate flow between Ensure ridge tiles and cover. Through this rigid support knobs will flow through the air Opposing resistance through which sufficient Venting can be prevented and it is not flexible Adaptation to the inner profile of the ridge tile possible. This will compensate for the step-like The inner contour of the ridge tile is not sufficiently guaranteed.

EP-A2-0 463 637 describes a generic ridge and / or Burr cover in the form of a fan ridge cap known. The fan ridge cap is made of a plastic precedent stiffness formed and has a middle ridge flap attachment area, one opposite this angled down middle region and a further, angled downwards from the central area Edge area on the underside of a sealing element set in the form of an elastic molded body is. At the edge area, which is the outer section protrudes laterally under the ridge tile, then closes an angled upwards and outwards Inflow spoiler. The individual areas or Sections go over in the longitudinal direction Kinks into each other. In the middle area are immediate adjacent to the ridge cap fastening area Air passage openings formed. In order for the best possible Providing roof ventilation is then additional inflow elements provided which with the cover cap be connected or coupled.

The object of the invention is to avoid the aforementioned Disadvantages of a ridge and / or ridge cover as well to create a process for making such the advantages of known ridge and / or ridge cover elements uses, regardless of the type and Execution of the roof covering for a more effective ventilation is taken care of over the ridge area.

According to the invention the object is achieved by a Ridge and / or ridge cover of the type mentioned at the beginning solved in that at least one compared to the second inner section upward bent first outer Section of the cover cap made of permanently elastic deformable Material is provided with overflow areas, a third outer section opposite the first outer section angled outward and a second outer section as a sealing element in the transition area between the second inner section and the first outer section is arranged. A method according to the invention draws is characterized in that the permanently elastic deformable Material by punching with overflow openings, flares as well as fins and overflow areas and a first outer section opposite the second inner section bent upwards, a second outer Section in the transition area between the second inner Section and the first outer section of the cap arranged and a third outer section opposite the the first outer section is angled outwards.

Due to the inventive design, in particular outer sections is between the bottom or edge of the ridge tile and the top or edge the ridge cap for an inner, not sealed Flow space provided. The term ridge tile is included not to be considered as limiting the invention. He Rather, everyone else includes the ridge or ridge covering elements such as Ridge stones, ridge pans etc. The flow or ventilation space becomes laterally each by the upward bent and accordingly high running first outer section completed which only releases segment-shaped overflow areas. In this way, the ventilation space is closed on the one hand open both sides of the roof for an unobstructed Outflow of the under-roof air to ensure others this space is against unwanted input from all kinds of animals, rain and snow etc., as far as possible, protected. Due to the continuous training of the Flow or ventilation space from Luv to Lee takes place no forced flow, as is the case with individual channels of the Case is. For example, it is slanted into the flow space incoming wind is not redirected as with canals, but rather swirled so that the necessary Vacuum is generated for roof ventilation. Corresponding the air flow can develop freely and move.

It gets strong both on hot summer days Air flow always for good and quick heat dissipation catered for as well on cold and rainy days improved and safe removal of moisture in the Ventilation gap below the ridge tiles. Through training of the first and third outer section is for the spatial and powerful termination to the ridge tile worried. It occurs between the second inner and the third outer section a kind of hinge effect one, so that the third outer section each optimal on the inner surface of a ridge and / or ridge tile can adjust. So there are no bends on site necessary, especially due to the use of a permanently elastic deformable material to the invention Ridge or cover cap each on the given Ridge and / or ridge tiles to adapt. The second outer Section bridges the gap between the roofing slabs and the adjacent cover elements sealing. Because the second outer section as a sealing element is arranged on both sides of the cover cap, the sub-roof area is completely sealed from roof side to roof side. Depending on the width of the second inner section and the first and second outer section, the cap can be completely of covered with the ridge tile or partially protrude beneath it. The first is the cover cap not directly exposed to rain and snow. Sticks out Cover cap partially under the ridge tile, so is through the longer training of the sections for one improved hinge effect.

In a preferred embodiment it is provided that the first and third outer sections in the form of a plurality material-tightly merging elastic Slats are formed. Such a lamellar Training is characterized in that the cover cap easily adapted over the entire area of the ridge stone can be and has excellent stability. Due to the lamellar formation of the third as well The first outer section is excellent Adaptation to those that often occur in the ridge direction stair-like or conical contours of the ridge tile or the ridge stone. The slats can each independently of the other either the ridge tile just barely touching or completely with their outside or Make contact with the inner profile. The ridge tile is only to be put on the assembled ridge cap, um for an elastic and permanent connection between ridge cap and tile. Here results not because of the configuration according to the invention only one support in the middle of the ridge, so that the Roofers can tread this safely, but it the slats also ensure a secure exterior Support the whole thing.

The flow cross-section required to meet DIN 4108 is preferably provided in that the through a constant distance between the slats formed Gaps serve as overflow areas.

In a further development it is provided that the preferably in one piece with the second inner portion of the cap trained slats on the longitudinal edges of the first outer section with integral with the slats Side tabs are provided. These side tabs are preferred over the slats of the first outer Section to form an obtuse angle bent down and outside, the angle being such that the cross section of the overflow areas is based tapers outwards and downwards from the first outer section. This nozzle-shaped configuration of the segment-shaped Overflow areas between the individual fins result for those flowing out of the ventilation space Air the advantageous small losses of a jet flow, while in the opposite direction the high ones Flow losses of a "Borda" mouth take effect. With free thermal convection without cross wind, the Air flowing out of the roof into the flow space on both sides through the segmental overflow areas in the first and possibly in the third outer section flow out. In the case of forced convection, it is in cross winds air flowing in from outside through the one-sided Contour of the overflow areas in the first outer section especially through contraction and swirling at the bulging edges of the side flaps prevented from flowing in, while flowing out of the one on the opposite Roof overflow areas due to the rounding of the side flaps there there is a much lower resistance. this leads to to a slight negative pressure in the space between Ridge tile and cap, which is beneficial to the Flow from inside the roof through in the second inside Section intended breakthroughs. The possibly moist air is not only on the lee, but also extracted from the inside of the roof on the windward side. An inflow into the roof interior is caused by the existing negative pressure prevented. Furthermore, Rain or condensation water through the overflow areas in drain freely from the outer sections. An intrusion of water is through the bulging edges of the Side tabs as well as the angled third outer Section prevented.

To the effects of the nozzle-shaped overflow areas reinforce, the side flaps taper preferentially starting from the respective slat to the outside.

In a further preferred embodiment it is provided that the slats of the third outer section on her taper the free end outwards. This will make the Elasticity of the outer slats increases so that they become adapt easily to any inner profile and for one elastic and permanent connection between ridge tiles and ridge cap. To reinforce this effect can the individual slats of the third outer section possibly a little narrower than the slats of the second outer section. At the ridge tile is merely such a ridge cap still put on the assembled cover, one Pressure task through the ridge stone as with known ones Plastic covers are no longer necessary because the Deformation of the cover cap before assembly is done.

To in the area of the bend for a bracket Of the second outer section the transition area between the second inner and first outer section preferably by transverse slots in Tabs divided. Two adjacent tabs can be the same, but also a different one Have width, with the for flow reasons preferred different width the wider tabs if necessary to increase the stability in the slats of the outer sections. To train the Brackets for the second outer section are those in tabs merging the slats of the outer sections in the form of a mirrored S and the ones adjacent to it S-shaped tabs bent downwards so that they are one Terminal strip for receiving and attaching as a sealing element to serve the second outer section. External sections can then be inserted into these terminal strips different training are inserted, whereby the clamping effect from the outside and bent downwards Tabs for a reliable fastening of the sections worries. There is no need for additional brackets on the Cover cap attached or molded, which can also simplifies the manufacture of such a cap.

Important for the second outer sections, for example can also have a different width, is just that this is the gap between the roofing tiles and the adjacent cover elements sealing bridge.

In the transition area between the the terminal strip are preferred forming tabs and the slats of the first outer section perpendicular to the direction of extension of the Longitudinal ribs provided. Through the resulting stiffening in the area between the second inner and the first outer section prevents the terminal strips or brackets and the sealing element inserted therein pressed outwards can be. The elastic formation between inner and outer sections result accordingly between the third outer section and the second inner Section.

Even after inserting the second outer section and due to the bends remaining openings in the Transition area above the inserted sealing element can serve as seepage openings through which Rain or condensed water can flow out to the outside this does not penetrate into the roof.

Metal strips can preferably be used as the second outer sections made of aluminum, copper or lead. Through the Using these materials is one way almost complete recycling without that for plastics given known follow-up charges. In addition, the second is outside Section extremely resistant, so that hardly any material rotting occurs. The cover cap protrudes with its second outer sections under the ridge tile, so if this is not attacked by UV radiation either that their lifespan increases. Such an embodiment is particularly preferable if a smooth finishing brick is used with a Paragraph in the brick itself is provided. One end of the metal strip is inserted into the terminal block while the other, especially smooth end of the second outer section, for example with a width of 15cm fits the heel of the roof tile and the Ridge cap is easy to attach. Instead of a metal strip can also rubber strips, e.g. from ethylene-propylene-diene terpolymers (EPDM) be used. The use of copper shows that Advantage on this element of natural oxidation is subject. That washed from the rain by the metal Copper oxide prevents mossing of the Roofing tiles and conveyed over a long Period the impression of a new roof covering.

In a preferred embodiment, two metal strips are preferably made of different metal, placed on top of each other.

In one embodiment, it can be a Metal strips around aluminum and the other around tinned Act lead.

The aluminum and the tin plating of the lead provide to ensure that no lead carbonate gets into the waste water. Of Another is when using aluminum and tinned Lead for an ideal adaptation to any brick shape worried.

Another embodiment is a metal strip made of aluminum, in which others, however, about color-coated lead. Hereby firstly there is additional corrosion protection, second, when using a red or brown Coating corresponding to the color of the brick Surface can be used.

Furthermore, the lower metal strip on which the End facing away from the terminal strip by folding back the upper one Metal strip embedded in this. This will make for an optimal completion of the second outer section at the end facing the bricks. It will for example, prevents air from entering the area between what can penetrate the two metal strips is particularly undesirable if the side stripes not completely of the ridge tile or ridge stone are covered, but partially protrude underneath. Since the second outer sections are also immediate It cannot be exposed to rain and snow either penetrate between the metal strips.

The metal strips can be used in the previously listed Embodiments optionally corrugated or without Be formed corrugation.

Around the second section reliably in the terminal strips To be able to specify, the metal strips either a specially trained edge area on or an edge area is in an additional metal back fixed. To do this, the metal strips in this Edge area, for example, a cross-sectional narrowing exhibit. In their area facing away from the metal back is for better support on the roofing tiles the strip can be bent.

The metal back itself can be made of stainless steel, for example be or made of galvanized sheet metal. Such a Metal backing is also available for other embodiments of the second outer section usable, for example when using a rubber strip, which otherwise with a specially designed edge area should be provided.

In another preferred embodiment of the invention it is provided that the second outer portion of the cap consists of a brush-like element. The Bristles of such a brush-like element can both in the troughs of the roofing slabs or Roof tiles reach to the bottom of the same, but also in the area of the highest elevations of the roofing slabs spread or pushed away. So that can such a brush-like element also to various Create contours sealingly. The element also has the in the area of the system on the roofing slabs or

Roof tiles necessary flexibility and softness, so that it affects even the slightest force Sealing contours of the roofing slabs or roof tiles hugs.

The brush-like element is particularly advantageous Bristles made of aluminum wires or copper wires. There these bristles that also protrude under the ridge tile can be exposed to the weather and thus also to UV rays are, is due to the inventive design a particularly weather-resistant and resistant created second outer portion of the cap. Instead of aluminum wires, the brush-like element can also Natural fibers as bristles, e.g. Horse bristles. The use of such natural fibers creates a cover cap created that has no legacy issues later, which would have to be disposed of in a complicated manner.

Is the brush-like element to the roofing tiles graded indicative, then it lies particularly well to the contour of the plates. On steep roofs so reduce the bristle pressure values and the individual Bristles lie evenly and flat on the roof covering contour on. Instead of brush-like elements can also be sealing bodies as a second outer section filter foam are used, which are preferably wedge-shaped are trained. Or it will be a stable one Fabric tape used. When using this sealing body does not have to be considered when applying the cover cap on the ridge with regard to the profiling of the Roofing tiles are taken. The second outer But the section can also be used to profile the Roofing sheets be adapted plastic part. It is also possible that the section is comb-like is. Such a comb-like section fits Thanks to its flexible teeth, it can be easily attached to any external profile on. Furthermore, the second outer section can be a be soft, stretchable polyisobutylene film strip, in which is embedded with an expanded metal mesh, which in particular an elongation of 50 to 150% in the longitudinal direction and a transverse stretch of 20% and one Resilience <0.5%. When using a Cover cap with such an outer section is one any profiling of the roofing slabs possible, because the section has a high extensibility in the longitudinal direction having. The low extensibility in the transverse direction ensures to ensure that the cover cap attached under the ridge tile also provides an optically responsive picture if the outer section protrudes under the ridge tile because this then has a clean longitudinal edge. About adhesives the second outer section can be optimally fix the roofing slabs and thus if necessary glue.

Today there is increasing focus on economic recycling of old and waste materials through their return in respected the material cycle. In the conventionally used Materials such as hard plastics are designed However, recycling is extremely difficult, especially if these are formed in combination with other materials. If recycling is not possible, all that remains is a landfill or incineration with the related Subsequent burdens as alternative disposal methods. This is but not desirable for environmental reasons. Another The disadvantage of using plastics is that that these are not resistant enough to the increasing UV radiation, so that even plastics how to attack polyvinyl chloride (PVC).

For this reason, further training provides that this is also permanently elastic deformable material is metal and that the first and the third outer section also made of metal are. The metal can be aluminum, copper or be galvanized sheet. By using aluminum, The copper or galvanized sheet for the cover cap is the Possibility of almost complete recycling. Follow-up loads that arise when using plastics then the cover no longer comes with it. In addition, the cover cap according to the invention is extremely resistant, so that hardly any rotting occurs. Also by UV radiation, especially by increasing UV radiation, the masking tape is not attacked, so that the service life compared to conventional masking tapes elevated. The durability can be in the range of the 30-year guarantee, the brick makers put on their bricks, lie. Furthermore, when using aluminum or Copper sheets are also an ideal adaptation to everyone Brick shape guaranteed. The aluminum or the galvanized Sheet metal is usually single-colored, but is also preferably two-colored coated. Firstly, this results in an additional one Corrosion protection, secondly, can be used a red or brown coating each the Brick color corresponding surface can be used.

That for the inner as well as the first and third outer Section metal used preferably has a thickness of at least 0.2 mm, but a maximum of 1.5 mm. Cover caps with a higher sheet thickness are no longer good deformable. If the sheet thickness is less, then it is Metal cap no longer sufficiently stable.

To allow the "humid" air to flow out of the under-roof area into the ventilation space and from there to the outside to be made possible are those that serve as overflow openings Breakthroughs arranged in the second inner section and on flanged at the edges. These overflow openings are due to the bend of the second inner section in the falling part of the cap intended. Through the flares are the overflow openings before penetration from the cover Water is protected and it is used for optimal Air flow pattern is taken care of. Those are preferred Overflow openings aligned with the fins, so that it is optimal against incoming air from the outside are shielded.

In the case of the overflow openings, for example to be arranged parallel or perpendicular in the slats oval, rectangular or rectangular openings act with slightly rounded corners, these rectangular or oval openings but also offset from each other in two rows on the second inner section can be arranged. Furthermore, it can be single round openings, which are aligned with the slats are arranged, act, but also two each other arranged round openings. Choosing the appropriate one Openings depend on the one you want reaching air flow. By punching out everything these overflow openings as well as the overflow areas is on the ridge or cover cap according to the invention space-saving way for further ventilation openings, -Openings or areas compared to the state of the Technology taken care of. The stability of the manufactured However, this does not in any way oppose the covering cap the known cover caps reduced.

By transverse grooves provided according to the invention in the first middle section is the cover cap in the upper area Reinforced above the ridge to create a gutter-like To prevent bulging with the danger of standing water.

Such a cap can due to the punched and Bends easily before mounting on a ridge batten be preformed. The ridge cap is a little stronger pre-angled, this results after nailing or screwing a good pre-tension on the ridge batten, the disadvantage of a plastic cover only created by the ridge stone or the ridge tile becomes. Accordingly, the ridge cap according to the invention can be checked before attaching the ridge tile whether a defined optimal placement or support of the ridge tile is present. Furthermore, the ridge cap is also steeper Customizable roofs by preforming them accordingly becomes. The fact that the sealing elements in the as strong Mounting clamps shaped brackets on lower edge of the cover cap can be used Cover easily stackable. The possibility of stacking is also for sealing elements that are seated in the terminal strips given conditionally.

The fact that in the permanently elastic deformable material Nail holes can be punched in, the cover cap can be reliably attached to a ridge batten. The Alternatively, the cover cap can also be placed on the ridge batten be screwed on.

The cut to length after production Ridge caps are preferably asymmetrical and are placed on each other during assembly so that two Cross grooves lie on top of each other or interlock. As a result, the grid of the middle part remains the entire ridge constant. Furthermore, the middle one Section of the ridge cap with a middle marking be provided to the cap exactly on the ridge batten or to set up a batten.

The above and those listed below According to the invention, features can be individually or in each case any combination can be used. The Embodiments mentioned are not as that To understand invention restrictive on counts, but rather have an exemplary character.

The ridge cap 1 shown in FIG. 1 The ridge and / or ridge cover has a first middle one Section 2, on which there is a second on each side inner section 3 connects. As can be seen in FIG. 2 is the adjacent sections 2 and 3 angled to form an obtuse angle. This bending takes place via folding means 5 which in the transition area between the first middle section 2 and the second inner section 3 are. As can be seen from FIGS. 3 and 4, the Cover cap 1 according to the invention over the first middle Section 2 attached to a ridge 4, in particular nailed or screwed onto it.

1, the second inner section 3 is in its Provide overflow openings 6 in the longitudinal direction, which have flanges 7 at their edges. Around Flares 7 become those flowing off from the cap 1 Liquids passed around so as not to enter the roof 8 to arrive. In the illustrated embodiment the openings 6 are round. But you can also oval, rectangular or rectangular with stronger or be less rounded corners, being these openings parallel or perpendicular to the folding means 5 can be aligned. Furthermore, on the second inner section 3 several rows of overflow openings with staggered if necessary Openings may be provided. About that at this Embodiment evenly in the longitudinal direction over the entire cover 1 distributed overflow openings 6 can the air (see FIGS. 3 and 4) from the under-roof area 8 flow out and into the ventilation space 9 between the cap 1 and a ridge tile 10 or Ridge stone or a ridge pan.

The second inner section 3 is included first outer section 11 (see Fig. 2-4). In the transition area 12 between the second inner section 3 and the first outer portion 11 are brackets 13 educated. These are only hinted at in FIGS. 2-4 Brackets 13 are obtained in that the transition area 12 between the second inner section 3 and the first outer section 11 by not shown Cross slots in tabs, also not shown is divided. Adjacent tabs can be used have a different width to each other. At the narrower tabs are of different widths S-shaped and the wider tabs in the form of a mirrored one S bent downwards against each other in such a way that they then serve as a mounting bracket 13 for Recording and for attaching a second outer section 14 form, which as a sealing element serves. The sealing element 14 adapts optimally to the Profiling of the adjacent roofing tiles 15 on which rest on roof battens 16 of the roof structure.

At the end of the mirrored S bent downwards Tabs the terminal block 13 is the first outer Section 11 bent upwards. Are in this area for stiffening perpendicular to the direction of extension of the Longitudinal ribs provided. At first outer section 11 then closes a third outer Section 17. This is compared to section 11 angled outwards by bending. Both the first outer section 11 as well as the third outer section 17 are in the form of a variety of material interlocking passing elastic slats 18, 19 formed. These slats 18, 19 go over the tabs of the transition area 12 in the second inner section 3 of the Cover cap 1 over. The entire inner sections 2, 3 and the outer sections 11 and 17 are in one piece trained with each other. Only the second outside Section 14 is made separately and is in the strong trained terminal strips 13 inserted.

Are the tabs of the transition area 12 with different Provide width, so the wide tabs go in Form a paragraph in the area of the longitudinal beads in the then somewhat narrower slats 18 of the first outer Section over which along its longitudinal edges integrally formed with the slats 18 side tabs 20, 21 is provided. The side tabs 20, 21 are opposite the slats 18 bent downwards and outwards. The between the slats 18 and the side plates 19, 20 Gaps 22 formed of the cap 1 serve as Overflow areas through which the air from the ventilation space 9 flow out or flow in this can. As can be seen in FIG. 1, the overflow openings are 6 aligned with the slats 18, 19, so that they are shielded from incoming air.

The side plates 20, 21 of the slats 18 of the first outer Section 11 are bent downwards and outwards, that the overflow areas 22 starting from Taper the first outer section 11 downwards and outwards. The side straps also taper 20, 21 starting from the respective lamella 18 to the outside.

The resulting nozzle-shaped contour of the Overflow areas points for those of the ventilation space 9 outflowing air the advantageous low losses a nozzle flow, while the inflowing from the outside Air the high flow losses of such a "Borda-like Mouth "is subject. With free convection can the flowing out of the roof interior or the lower roof space 8 Air on both sides through the overflow openings 6 in the ventilation space 9 and from there over the overflow areas 22 flow outwards. With forced convection is the air flowing in from the outside through the contour the overflow areas 22 prevented from flowing in during the air flowing out of the ventilation space 9 at the opposite sloping roof through those located there Overflow openings 22 due to the much smaller Resistance can flow out.

The fins 19 of the third outer section 17 are somewhat narrower in the illustrated embodiment formed as the fins 18 of the first outer section 11. At their free end 23 these taper Slats 19 to the outside. This free end fits perfectly to every inner contour of the ridge tile or ridge stone 10 etc. Because of the bends and shape of the first outer portion 11 and the third outer Section 17 thus results in flexible training the cover cap between the second inner section 3 and the third outer section 17, which is the optimum Adaptation to the inner contour of the ridge tile 10 still reinforced.

The first and third outer sections 11, 17 serve however, not only for ventilation of the ventilation space 9 and the roof interior 8, but ensure on the one hand between the ridge tile 10 and the cover cap 1 sufficient space and serve on the other as a conclusion for the continuous flow or ventilation space 9 between the top of the cap 1 and the underside of the ridge tile 10.

The ridge tile or ridge tile 10 is over clamps 24 attached to the ridge 4 and opposite the cover cap 1 to form the continuous flow space 9 spaced. It towers over the one shown in FIGS. 3 and 4 Embodiment with its edges 25 the Sealing elements 14 of the cap 1. In this way is the one necessary for optimal ventilation defined space or ventilation space 9 between the cap 1 and the ridge tile 10, in particular the Underside of the ridge tile 10, formed. Corresponding can air flowing into the space 9 from the Carry the inside of the roof with 8 escaping air and take it to the Remove environment.

In the middle section 2 of the ridge cap 1 are nail or Screw holes 26 punched. These holes 26 are there preferably arranged between the overflow openings 6. Each offset to the overflow openings 6 are in the middle section transverse grooves 27 embossed from below. These transverse grooves 27 serve to reinforce the ridge or Cover cap 1 on the upper part above the ridge 4 and prevent a gutter-like bulge with the danger standing water.

Around each of the cover caps 1 in the ridge area to be able to connect with each other can at one end of the Cover cap provided grooves or slots be at the other end of the cover cap a spring is provided in the groove or slot intervenes. This spring can e.g. wedge-shaped be around for a reliable hold in the groove or the The other cover cap. Alternatively can adhere to the inner sections of the unbalanced trained cap a beveled on its outer sides Connect overlap section, which on the subsequent cap can be placed such that two cross grooves lie on top of each other and interlock. As a result, the grid remains over the entire First constant.

The ridge and / or ridge cover is produced by first using a permanently elastic deformable material, e.g. an aluminum or copper sheet or galvanized sheet with a thickness of 0.5mm if necessary, in the longitudinal direction with Folders is provided. In the way defined inner sections are then punched lengthways Obtain overflow openings with flares. A first and second outer sections are lamellar Punched out shape, the Slats of the first outer section of side tabs remain. The transition area between the second inner and the first outer section is made by stamping or cutting with cross slots to make tabs to train in this transition area. At their the the middle section facing away from the tabs with perpendicular to their direction of extension Longitudinal beads, e.g. by embossing. Furthermore the middle inner section is embossed from below provided with cross grooves. Between the cross grooves Openings for attaching the cover cap to the ridge batten stamped.

Next, the individual sections of the metal sheet angled against each other by folding or bending. This is done by the second inner section angled downwards from the first middle section the tabs in the transition area between the second inner section and the first outer section once S-shaped or in the form of a mirror-inverted S be angled downwards, creating a terminal block created to accommodate the second outer portion the first outer section at the end of the transition area bent up and the third outer section bent outwards relative to the first outer section becomes. Similarly, the side flaps are opposite the slats of the first outer section bent below and outside that in their cross section result in overflow areas tapering downwards and outwards. In the terminal strips, if necessary, to the specified one The sealing elements can be cut to length slightly pre-angled (maximum 30 °) no excessive tension when applied to the ridge batten occur on the terminal strips.

A cover cap made in this way and preformed downwards already shows when installing the ridge cover a good preload on that with the plastic cover only through the ridge stone or through the ridge tile or the ridge pan is created. In the case of the invention Cover cap can already be attached before the Put the ridge stone on the position of the cover and the Sealing elements to the roofing sheets and accordingly check the sealing function of the ridge cover.

A pressing with a corresponding deformation of the cover cap as in the prior art no longer takes place through Put on the ridge tile or ridge stone.
