Abstract:
1. A roof ventilator mount for mounting a roof ventilator onto a gable-type roof, said gable-type roof defining a roof first section and a roof second section, said roof first and second sections merging together about a roof apex, said roof ventilator including a roof ventilator base defining a cupola mounting portion for mounting a cupola thereto, said roof ventilator mount comprising: a first mounting component, said first mounting component including a first mounting plate mountable to said roof first section, said first mounting plate defining a first plate proximal edge and a substantially opposed first plate distal edge, said first mounting plate also defining a first plate proximal section extending from said first plate proximal edge and a first plate distal section extending from said first plate distal edge; a second mounting component, said second mounting component including a second mounting plate mountable to said roof second section, said second mounting plate defining a second plate proximal edge and a substantially opposed second plate distal edge, said second mounting plate also defining a second plate proximal section extending from said second plate proximal edge and a second plate distal section extending from said second plate distal edge; said first and second mounting components being mountable to said roof ventilator base with said first and second plate proximal edges located substantially adjacent to each other and said first and second plate distal edges located spaced apart from each other; said first plate proximal section being provided with a first plate breakable segment extending from said first plate proximal edge, said first plate breakable segment being breakable from the remainder of said first plate proximal section along a first predetermined break line located at a first predetermined distance from said first plate distal edge; said second plate proximal section being provided with a second plate breakable segment extending from said second plate proximal edge, said second plate breakable segment being breakable from the remainder of said second plate proximal section along a second predetermined break line located at a second predetermined distance from said second plate distal edge; whereby removing said first and second plate breakable segments respectively from said first and second plate proximal sections reduces respectively a first distance between said first plate proximal and distal edges and a second distance between said second plate proximal and distal edges to allow a variation in an angle between said first and second mounting plates when said first and second mounting plates are mounted to said roof ventilator base and said first and second plate proximal edges are abutting against each other.
