ABSTRACT:
A shingle ridge cover is formed from a rectangular sheet of shingle roofing material back folded on itself to provide a central thickened portion for the shingle ridge cover. An upper portion of lesser thickness provides a nailing margin for the shingle ridge cover, and cooperates with a centrally-located thickest portion of the shingle ridge cover to provide a safety space to allow for “pop up” of the roofing nails or fasteners. A lower portion of the shingle ridge cover overlies the thickened upper portion of a preceding shingle ridge cover as installed on a roof, and cooperates with the preceding shingle ridge cover so that they together provide three layers of protective shingle sheet material over all portions of a hip, ridge, or rake of a roof on which the shingle ridge covers are installed. The thickened central portion of a ridge cover and the overlying lower portion of a next-successive ridge cover cooperate also to provide a shadow line at a hip, ridge, or rake of a roof, which shadow lines provided by plural shingle ridge covers contributes to an attractive aesthetic appearance for the roof.
