Abstract:
An improved roof ridge cover. The roof ridge cover is formed to give the visual appearance of multiple shingles. The edges of the roof ridge cover wrap around existing roof shingles. The cover is stone coated to provide similar appearance to the adjacent roof shingle surfaces. Optional venting material may be used under the cover to allow air to vent from the attic thereby allowing the attic to breathe, although the vent material is sufficiently dense to prevent insects and bugs from passing through the vent material.

Claim (Index 22):
A roof ridge cover for use with a roof having opposing sloped sides between the opposing sloped sides, a roof ridge having an inverted V shape, the roof including a plurality of ridge cover shingles, said plurality of ridge cover shingles including a first ridge cover shingle and a second ridge cover shingle, said roof ridge cover comprising:\n an elongated base, said elongated base having an outer surface and an under surface, said elongated base provided in the shape of a plurality of ridge cover shingles;\n said elongated base having an inverted \u201cV\u201d shape; \n said elongated base configured to visually appear to include multiple ridge cover shingles, by including at least two generally planar parallel shingle surfaces and a step surface between each of the at least two generally planar parallel shingle surfaces; \n said outer surface comprising a cosmetic surface, said cosmetic surface comprising a coating; \n said under surface adapted for contact with said ridge cover shingles; \n said elongated base having\n at least two rounded corners, said rounded corners located between one of said at least two generally planar parallel shingle surfaces and a step surface, and \n at least one rounded edge, said at least one rounded edge providing a leading edge of said elongated base, and adapted to wrap over at least one edge of said ridge cover shingles, said leading edge shaped to at least partially wrap over at least one edge and the sides of an elevated shingle edge of said ridge cover shingles; and \n a second rounded edge that forms a trailing edge shaped to at least partially wraparound said first ridge cover shingle.
