Eave thermal baffle for insulation

An eave thermal baffle for insulation, for use in a building having a ceiling and a roof defining an attic cavity area, comprising:

• a first panel to be secured adjacent the top side or top exterior face of an exterior wall of the building;
• a second panel extending upwardly from said first panel;
• a third panel extending from said second panel and from said first panel into the attic cavity area between the ceiling and the roof;
• said baffle being of a width adapted to just nicely span the distance between adjacent roof framing members;
• and means to secure said baffle between the roof framing members so as to provide an air passage from the eave-soffit area of the building over the top of said third panel into said attic cavity area;
• whereby ventilation to the unheated or uncooled attic cavity area is assured while at the same time providing a cover for insulation installed adjacent the outer perimeter of the ceiling.

An eave thermal baffle for insulation, for mounting over an exterior wall and between a roof and ceiling of a building stucture, to provide an air passage between the roof and ceiling and overall insulation applied to the ceiling, and to prevent insulation from spilling over said wall, the said building structure including parallel roof framing members spaced from each other and supported on said wall, said eave thermal baffle comprising:

• a first panel to be secured adjacent the top side or against the top exterior face of said exterior wall;
• a second panel extending upwardly from said first panel;
• a third panel extending from said second panel and from said first panel into the attic cavity area between said ceiling and said roof;
• said baffle being of a width adapted to just nicely span the distance between adjacent of said roof framing members;
• and means to secure said baffle between said roof framing members so as to provide an air passage from the eave-soffit area of the building structure over the top of said third pannel into said attic cavity area;
• whereby ventilation to the unheated or uncooled attic cavity area is assured while at the same time providng a cover for insulation installed adjacent the outer perimeter of the ceiling.

In a building, an exterior wall, a series of generally parallel spaced roof framing members supported on said wall, an eave-soffit area adjacent said wall, a roof supported on said framing members, and a ceiling, said roof and said ceiling defining an attic cavity area;

• and an eave thermal baffle for insulation, for use in said building, said baffle comprising:
• a first panel to be secured on the top or exterior top face of said wall;
• a second panel extending upwardly from said first panel;
• a third panel extending from said second panel and from said first panel into said attic cavity area between said ceiling and said roof;
• said baffle being of a width adapted to just nicely span the distance between adjacent of said roof framing members;
• and means to secure said baffle between said roof framing members so as to provide an air passage from said eave-soffit area over the top of said third panel into said attic cavity area;
• whereby ventilation to the unheated or uncooled attic cavity area is assured while at the same time providing a cover for insulation installed adjacent the outer perimeter of said ceiling.
