ABSTRACT:
A shingle mount for affixing first and second shingles along a roof ridge comprises a sheet member bendable about its longitudinal, medial axis to present first and second plates sloping therefrom. The mount is nailed atop the roof ridge so that the medial axis of the sheet defines the ridge line with the plates overlying the adjoining roof surfaces. At the end of each plate is a clamping flange which holds a ridge shingle atop each plate and in a proper position along the roof ridge upon insertion of the butt end of a shingle therein. The underlying plates direct moisture away from the overlying shingles and cooperate with the perforated clamping flanges to inhibit prolonged contact of deteriorating moisture with the ridge shingles so as to prolong shingle life.
