Ventilating roof

Abstract

A ventilating roof is provided with a roof structure; a pair of spaced base members formed upwardly from top edges of the roof structure respectively, each base member including a plurality of top vent holes; and a ventilating ridge roll disposed on both the base members and the roof structure and being in a partial covering relation to the roof structure, the ventilating ridge roll including a plurality of upper and lower vent holes. The top vent holes are in air communication with both the upper and lower vent holes by natural convection.

What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A ventilating roof comprising:
 a roof structure;   a pair of spaced base members formed upwardly from top edges of the roof structure respectively, each of the base members including a plurality of top vent holes; and   a ventilating ridge roll disposed on both the base members and the roof structure and being in a partial covering relation to the roof structure, the ventilating ridge roll including a plurality of upper vent holes and a plurality of lower vent holes;   wherein the top vent holes are in air communication with both the upper and lower vent holes.   
     
     
         2 . A ventilating roof comprising:
 a chimney including a vented projection on a top;   a ventilating ridge roll supported by the vented projection and including a plurality of first vent holes on a lower edge of either sloping half; and   two inclined side panels each including a plurality of second vent holes on a lower edge urging against the chimney and an upper portion in close proximity to the first vent holes;   wherein the vented projection is in air communication with both the first and second vent holes.   
     
     
         3 . A ventilating roof comprising:
 a roof structure;   a pair of spaced base members formed upwardly from top edges of the roof structure;   a ventilating ridge roll disposed above the base members; and   a pair of inclined side panels disposed outwardly of the ventilating ridge roll and spaced from the base members and the roof structure;   wherein there is a first gap between the ventilating ridge roll and a top edge of each of the base members;   wherein there is a second gap between either side of the ventilating ridge roll and each of the side panels;   wherein there is a third gap between each of the side panel and the roof structure; and   wherein the first gaps are in air communication with both the second and third gaps.
