Abstract
This invention is directed to ventilators for a roof. In fact, there is disclosed two ventilators, an eave ventilator and a ridge ventilator. Each of the ventilators can be of unitary construction and formed from plastic. The ventilators allow air circulation in the attic of a building or a house so as to maintain cool air in the attic. The result is an increase in the longevity of the structure of the house.

A ventilator for use on a sloping roof of a building and for being integral with said building and comprising:
- a. a base;
- b. said base rising into an elevated louver identified as a first elevated louver;
- c. said first elevated louver having a first end;
- d. said first elevated louver having a lower part;
- e. said first end being on the lower part of said first elevated louver;
- f. said first end having a first upper edge;
- g. said first end having a second lower edge;
- h. said first end of said first elevated louver being a wall;
- i. a plurality of apertures in said first end to allow a fluid to flow into and out of said ventilator;
- j. said first elevated louver being exposed;
- k. said first elevated louver having a second end;
- l. said first elevated louver having an upper part;
- m. said second end being on the upper part of said first elevated louver;
- n. a flat top connecting said first end and said second end;
- o. said second end being a wall and connecting said flat top and said base;
- p. spaced apart sides connecting with said flat top, said first end and said second end, and with said base;
- q. said base rising into an elevated louver identified as a second elevated louver;
- r. said second elevated louver having an end identified as third end;
- s. said base having a first edge;
- t. said first end being near said first edge;
- u. said base having a second edge;
- v. said third end being near said second edge;
- w. an aperture in said third end of said second elevated louver to allow fluid to flow into and out of said ventilator;
- x. said base having a first flap between said first elevated louver and said first edge;
- y. said base having a second flap between said second elevated louver and a second edge;
- and,
- z. said base having a third flap between said first elevated louvere and said second elevated louver.
A process for making a ventilator for use on a sloping roof of a building and for being integral with said building, said process comprising:
- a. selecting a sheet of material;
- b. changing the configuration of said sheet to have a base and an elevated louver identified as a first elevated louver;
- c. forming a first end in said first elevated louver;
- d. forming a lower part on said first elevated louver;
- e. forming said first end on the lower part of said first elevated louver;
- f. forming a first upper edge on said first end;
- g. forming a second lower edge on said first end;
- h. forming said first end as a wall;
- i. forming a plurality of apertures in said first end to allow air to flow into and out of said ventilator;
- j. forming a second end on said first elevated louver;
- k. forming an upper part on said first elevated louver;
- l. forming said second end on the upper part of said first elevated louver;
- m. forming a flat top to connect with said first end and said second end;
- n. forming said second end as a wall and connecting said second end with said flat top and with said base;
- and,
- o. forming spaced apart sides and connecting said spaced apart sides with said flat top, said first end and said second end, and with said base.
