Ridge cap closure system

Abstract

A roof closure system for use with corrugated panel roofs having a ridge cap and ventilated or non-ventilated foam closures permanently attached thereto, the ridge cap and the foam assembled as a ready-to-use single unit. The foam closure is formed a highly mallable foam material such that the closure may be used with any style of corrugated metal roof panels.

1 . A pre-assembled closure system for a corrugated roof, the closure system comprising a ridge cap having a plurality of dependent ledges, each of said dependent ledges having a foam closure permanently attached thereto.  
   
   
       2 . The pre-assembled closure system of  claim 1  wherein the foam closure is formed of a malleable foam material whereby the foam closure can conform to a wide variety of patterns of corrugated panels.  
   
   
       3 . The pre-assembled closure system of  claim 1  wherein the foam closure is selected from the group comprising ventilating foams and non-ventilating foams.  
   
   
       4 . A manufacturing method of forming a pre-assembled closure system, the method comprising: 
 a) forming a ridge cap for a peaked corrugated roof building, said ridge cap having a plurality of dependant ledges;    b) permanently attaching a foam closure to said ridge cap, wherein said attachment is undertaken by automated means.    
   
   
       5 . The method of  claim 5  wherein forming the ridge cap and attaching the foam closure are undertaken concurrently on a manufacturing line.
