Patent ID: 7121055

Claim:
A plurality of shingle ridge covers, each shingle ridge cover comprising: a generally rectangular work piece of sheet shingle material having an upper granular face and a length dimension, said work piece being folded on itself at a fold line extending perpendicular to said length dimension to define an upper end of the shingle ridge cover, a folded length of the ridge cover, and an upper and lower portion of the ridge cover with said upper granular face of said upper and lower portions confronting one another, and said upper portion of said work piece further being backfolded on itself intermediate of the folded length of the shingle ridge cover to provide a third portion overlying said upper portion and having its upper granular face oriented upwardly the same as said lower portion; said lower portion, said upper portion and said third portion overlying one another to cooperatively define a centrally-located triple-thick portion for said ridge cover, which triple-thick portion is located intermediate of the length of the shingle ridge cover, said folded shingle ridge cover providing a nailing margin extending between said upper end and said triple-thick portion, said nailing margin being thinner than the centrally-located triple-thick portion of the shingle ridge cover, whereby said centrally-located triple-thick portion of said shingle ridge cover is cooperable with a next-successive ridge cover installed on a roof to space this next-successive shingle ridge cover above and slightly away from said nailing margin to thereby provide protection and head space for fasteners securing the shingle ridge cover to a roof structure.
