Abstract

A drip edge having a flange configured to rest against a roof surface following installation on a perimeter of the roof surface and a flap hingedly extending from a terminal edge of the flange configured to be positioned a predefined distance towards the center of the roof surface, as measured from an edge of the roof surface on which the flange is configured to be mounted, following installation of the flange on the roof surface, wherein the flap and flange, in combination, form a cavity configured to retain a shingle therein, thereby improving the strength with which the starter shingle is secured to the roof surface against wind uplift while improving its resilience to moisture intrusion and easing installation while also rendering shingle alignment more consistent.

A drip edge comprising:

a flange configured to rest against a roof surface following installation of the drip edge on a perimeter of the roof surface;
and
a flap hingedly extending from a terminal edge of the flange,
wherein the terminal edge of the flange from which the flap hingedly extends is configured to be in contact with the roof surface, adjacent the perimeter of the roof surface, following installation of the drip edge on the perimeter of the roof surface,
wherein the flap is configured to extend a predefined distance towards the ridge of the roof, as measured from an edge of the roof surface on which the flange is configured to be mounted, following installation of the drip edge on the roof surface,
wherein the flap is configured to be parallel to, or form an acute angle with, a portion of the flange configured to rest against a roof surface following installation of the drip edge on the perimeter of the roof surface, and
wherein said flap and said flange, in combination, form a cavity that is configured to lie flat against the roof surface, face towards a ridge of the roof, and retain a shingle, following installation of the drip edge on the perimeter of the roof surface.
