Patent ID: 7905061

Claim:
A wind spoiler system comprising in combination: a roof having a plurality of overlapping shingles extending to a lower edge and a generally vertical fascia proximate to the lower edge; a spoiler having a vertical member mounted vertically along the lower edge of the roof to extend above the plane of the roof and a horizontal member coupled to said vertical member in an L-shaped configuration along a longitudinal bend between said horizontal member and said vertical member; and a mechanism interconnecting said longitudinal bend and said fascia with said horizontal member and said vertical member being pivotably mounted relative to said fascia to pivot relative to said longitudinal bend, said mechanism including a stored position with said horizontal member extending horizontally away from the lower edge of the roof and the vertical member extending vertically downwardly generally parallel to said fascia and a deployed position with said horizontal member extending horizontally over said overlapping shingles along the lower edge of the roof and the vertical member extending vertically upwardly, whereby the force of wind flowing from the lower edge over the roof pivots the spoiler from said stored position to said deployed position to cover said overlapping shingles along the lower edge of the roof and to create turbulence in the wind flowing over the roof.
