Abstract
Abstract A prefabricated apparatus used for occupying the space between the roofing material and the outer walls of a building, the size of such space being dependent upon the vertical dimension of the rafters supporting the roofing material and the horizontal distance between rafters. The apparatus is provided with corrugations so that it may be adjusted for variations in the normal sizes of the space and the rafters.

Total Claims: 18
Claim 1
Independent Claim
180 words
A frieze vent comprising: a flat rectilinear sheet, having first and second parallel longitudinal sides and first and second parallel transverse sides, longitudinal extensions connected to the first longitudinal side of said sheet and in the same plane as said sheet, the second longitudinal side of said sheet having an integral edge bent at an angle to said sheet, said bent edge having longitudinal extensions at each end, an ear on each transverse side of said sheet and intersecting said sheet at an angle, each ear extending from the extensions of the first longitudinal side to the bent edge extensions of the second longitudinal side, each extension from the first side having longitudinal corrugations on the side adjacent said ear, said sheet having a plurality of vent holes on that portion of said sheet between the ears, said sheet having transverse corrugations at each end of that portion of the frieze vent which contains the vent holes, said corrugation being adjacent to said ears, and the first longitudinal side of said sheet, including the extensions thereof, having a folded edge.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
