Roof cooling system

Abstract

A roof cooling system having quick-erect properties comprising: a high-flow manifold, a plurality of flex hoses, fascia brackets, and sprinkler wands. Fascia brackets are securedly and permanently attached to a building's fascia board. Each of the many sprinkler wands and flex hoses are all assembled to a high-flow manifold, ready for quick connection to a pressurized water supply. Therefore, when needed, the wands are simply engaged to the fascia brackets, the manifold connected to a water source and the system is operational, in mere minutes. When not in use, the system quickly disassembles for storage without hindering the building's aesthetics.

1 . A roof cooling system comprising: 
 i. a high-flow manifold,    ii. flat flex hoses,    iii. fascia brackets, and    iv. sprinkler wands,    
   
   
       2 . The roof cooling system of  claim 1  wherein the high-flow manifold having a hollow body having a spherical form flattened at the bottom so as to prevent toppling over and a handle for easier manipulation thereof, an inlet integrally attached to said hollow body and a plurality of outlets also integrally attached to same hollow body. The portions of the hollow body that mate with both the inlet and outlets are open to same inlets and outlets so as to allow flow from the inlet mouth, into the hollow body, then through every outlet. High flow is provided since the inlet opening area is lesser than the combined area of the outlets. The spherical form of the hollow body ensures even flow and pressure distribution of water at each outlet. Therefore, a water supply line can be threadedly engaged to the inlet, and a plurality of flex hoses with adapters can also be threadedly engaged to each outlet.  
   
   
       3 . The roof cooling system of  claim 1  wherein the flat flex hoses have a collapsible tubing portion so as to allow flattening thereof.  
   
   
       4 . The roof cooling system of  claim 1  wherein the fascia bracket comprises; two bolt flanges each having at least two perforations for fastening to a flat vertical surface such as a fascia board, two extension members extending inwardly and frontwardly between and integral with both inner edges of said bolt flanges, and a semi-tubular wand-holding member having a generally “C” shaped cross-section integrally attached to the frontmost portions of both extension members thus the above members combined, form a fascia bracket having means to vertically and securedly hold a sprinkler wand slightly distally from a mating fascia board.  
   
   
       5 . The roof cooling system of  claim 1  wherein the sprinkler wand, having an outer diameter generally equal to that of the inner diameter of the mating semi-tubular wand-holding portion, a stop collar having a ring-shape with an inner diameter equal to that of the outer diameter of the sprinkler wand. The stop collar is also adapted with one or more setscrews threadedly mating to a perforation within the stop collar, and a key protruding downwardly from the lower edge of the stop collar. Said key having a width equal to the opening or slit of the fascia bracket's wand-holding portion is adapted to downwardly enter said slit until the lower edge of the stop collar contacts the upper edge of the wand-holding portion of the fascia bracket thus preventing rotational movement of the sprinkler wand.  
   
   
       6 . The roof cooling system of claims  1  through  7  wherein the utility thereof is to provide homeowners with a roof cooling system that performs effectively, erects quickly and maintains the building's aesthetics while not in use.
