VENTILATING RIDGE STRUCTURE

Title:

VENTILATING RIDGE STRUCTURE

Document Type and Number:

Japanese Patent JP3583111

Kind Code:

B2

Abstract:

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a ventilating ridge structure characterized in that a ventilating structure having air outlets has a double monocoque structure with an extension that extends from the outlet of the air outlet, a second air outlet formed in the extension to allow air to pass therethrough, and a portion outside of it being bent upwards to form a wind and rain resistant wall.
SOLUTION: The ventilating ridge structure can prevent the weather from entering the ventilating mechanism even if exposed to side winds, such as in storms. When side winds pass over a wind and rain resistant wall and creates a negative pressure around it, the negative pressure causes air to flow in through the second air outlet formed in a portion extending toward eaves. This flow also creates a negative pressure in the vicinity of the air outlet, this negative pressure causing air collected in the ventilating mechanism to be smoothly vented. Because the ventilating mechanism uses a monocoque construction, the ventilating ridge structure is resistant to external forces.
