Abstract
A rake edge for a roof of a building includes a body having a lower portion and an upper portion. A fold is disposed on an inside end of the body. A downwardly extending side shield protrudes orthogonally from the lower portion. A shield edge protrudes outwardly from the side shield at an angle between 5 degrees and 90 degrees from a planar extent of the side shield. A shield edge underlap projects inwardly parallel with the shield edge. A trim portion extends over the upper portion. The trim portion is generally parallel with the upper portion and spaced a predetermined distance therefrom. A trim portion underlap is disposed between the upper portion and the trim portion.

A rake edge for a roof of a building comprising:
- a body including a lower portion and an upper portion in direct contact with each other;
- a fold disposed on an inside end of the body, the fold connecting the lower portion and the upper portion;
- a downwardly extending side shield protruding orthogonally from the lower portion;
- a shield edge protruding outwardly from the side shield at an angle between 5 degrees and 90 degrees from a planar extent of the side shield;
- a shield edge underlap projecting inwardly parallel with the shield edge;
- a trim portion extending over the upper portion, the trim portion being generally parallel with the upper portion and spaced a predetermined distance therefrom;
- and
- a trim portion underlap disposed between the upper portion and the trim portion.

- a body including a lower portion and an upper portion in direct contact with each other;
- a fold disposed on an inside end of the body;
- a downwardly extending side shield protruding orthogonally from the lower portion;
- a shield edge protruding outwardly from the side shield at an angle between 5 degrees and 90 degrees from a planar extent of the side shield, the shield edge including a distal end;
- and
- a trim portion extending over the upper portion, the trim portion being generally parallel with the upper portion and spaced a predetermined distance therefrom, the trim portion and the upper portion defining a rounded outside edge, wherein a lateral distance from the inside end of the body to the rounded outside edge is greater than a lateral distance from the inside end of the body to the distal end of the shield edge.
