Folded ridge cover and method of fabrication

A method of fabricating a ridge cover comprising:

• providing a generally rectangular first sheet of roofing material having a first end, a second end, a first edge, a second edge, and a first central portion having a first longitudinal centerline;
• forming in the first sheet a first foldable tab integrally formed with the first end extending from proximate the first longitudinal centerline to proximate the first edge;
• forming in the first sheet a second foldable tab integrally formed with the first end extending from proximate the first longitudinal centerline to proximate the second edge;
• providing a generally rectangular second sheet of roofing material having a third end, a fourth end, a third edge, a fourth edge, and a second central portion having a second longitudinal centerline, the second longitudinal centerline being adjacent the first longitudinal centerline;
• forming in the second sheet a third foldable tab integrally formed with the third end extending from proximate the second longitudinal centerline to proximate the third edge;
• forming in the second sheet a fourth foldable tab integrally formed with the third end extending from proximate the second longitudinal centerline to proximate the fourth edge;
• joining the first piece and the second piece such that the first piece is substantially below the second piece, the first edge is proximate the third edge, the second edge is proximate the fourth edge;
• folding the first and third foldable tabs such that the end of the third foldable tab is proximate a first portion of the first central body portion;
• folding the second and fourth foldable tabs such that the end of the fourth foldable tab is proximate a second portion of the first central body portion;
• bending the first and second sheets of roofing material around a radius along the first and second longitudinal centerlines.

A method of fabricating a number of ridge covers comprising:

• providing a generally rectangular first sheet of roofing material, having a first top surface and an opposing first bottom surface;
• providing a generally rectangular second sheet of roofing material, having a second top surface and an opposing second bottom surface and having a size substantially the same as the first sheet;
• joining the first top surface to the second bottom surface to form a laminated sheet, wherein
• the sides of the first and the second sheet substantially coincide to form a first side and an opposing second side, and the laminated sheet further comprises the number of identical assemblies, each assembly having forward and rearward edges that coincides with the forward and rearward edges of
• the laminated sheet, two opposing sides substantially parallel to the sides of the laminated sheet, and a centerline midway between the two opposing sides;
• forming the number of first foldable tabs integrally formed with the forward edge extending from proximate the number of centerlines toward the first side of the laminated sheet;
• forming the number of second foldable tabs integrally formed with the forward edge extending from proximate the number of centerlines toward the second side of the laminated sheet;
• folding the first and second foldable tabs such that the forward edge is proximate the bottom of the laminated sheet;
• cutting the laminated sheet along the joined sides of adjacent assemblies to separate the assemblies;
• bending each of the assemblies around a radius along the centerline.
