ABSTRACT:
The subject invention is a device used to help dehydrate and dehumidify the substructure immediately under the roof structure. The subject device includes an air intake member adapted to eject relatively humid air, under the roof surface, said device being in the form of a longitudinally extending, vertically upwardly protruding finger-like member formed as a one-piece member having an internally disposed longitudinally extending internal chamber which communicates with an opening in the bottom thereof, which opening in turn communicates with yet another opening in the roof structure which second opening communicates to spatial areas immediately beneath the roof structure. The upper part of the device has a plurality of openings that communicate from the internal chamber to spatial areas outside said unit. A thimble-like cover is emplaced in conforming fashion over the upper part of the finger-like member, which thimble is positioned in such a manner so as to be pivotably mounted at its uppermost part for limited pivotable movement at its bottom portion so as to provide a spatial zone at the bottom for air venting purposes at such bottom.
