ROLLABLE ROOF VENTILATING DEVICES AND METHODS FOR USE THEREOF

摘要

A ventilating system for a roof (40) made of a multi-plied weatherproof material (200). The weatherproof material includes a planar ply (204) and a second ply (208) joined such that a multiplicity of air passages (144) is defined thereby. The air passages extend generally transversely to longitudinal axes of the embodiments. Each embodiment can be transported and stored in a spiral conformation. The spiral conformation is achieved by rolling the embodiment in a direction generally parallel to the longitudinal axis. A series of embodiments include a top panel and one or more lateral vents, rolled such that the one or more lateral vents are radially exposed. When shipped and stored in a spiral conformation, the embodiment with radially exposed lateral vents is more quickly and easily installed on a roof. Another embodiment, also conformable to a spiral for shipping and storing, is advantageously used to enhance ventilation by ventilating the eave.
