Patent number: 9200453Abstract: A roof ridge vent mat for installation overlying an open roof ridge to provide ventilation to a space beneath a roof is provided. The ridge vent mat is a continuous elongate material of randomly convoluted polymeric filaments having an openwork upper face, an openwork lower face, a plurality of hollow recesses extending into the mat and opening into the lower face, and opposite longitudinally extending openwork side edges. The openwork upper face is formed of randomly convoluted filaments formed to provide a relatively flat surface of sufficient density to catch heads of fasteners. The plurality of hollow recesses is defined by a plurality of upstanding openwork walls of convoluted filaments that extend from the upper face to the lower face of the mat. The upstanding openwork walls are arranged in a latticework structure such that no unobstructed passageway extent through the mat through which wind-blown rain and snow can freely pass into the side edges of the mat and laterally pass through the mat.Type: GrantFiled: February 4, 2010Date of Patent: December 1, 2015Assignees: Benjamin Obdyke Incorporated, Colbond, Inc.Inventors: Ted Kerwood-Winslow, George Caruso, Michael S. Coulton, Lori Curtiss Hascher, James Emory Mathis, II, Jeffrey Scott Denton

Publication number: 20110271637Abstract: A building structure includes a base structure (10), a thermal barrier layer (20) and an external layer (30). The thermal barrier layer may be a three-dimensional matrix of filaments. The filaments may be irregularly looped and intermingled in a highly porous, three-dimensional structure with a large open space. The filaments form a thermal barrier by reducing the physical contact between the external layer and the base structure. The filament material is low in conductivity, so little heat transfer occurs between the external layer and the filaments.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 26, 2009Publication date: November 10, 2011Applicant: COLBOND INC.Inventor: Allan Wingfield

Publication number: 20110189940Abstract: A roof ridge vent for installation overlying an open roof ridge to provide ventilation to a space beneath a roof is provided. The ridge vent is a continuous, elongate mat of randomly convoluted polymeric filaments having an openwork upper face, an openwork opposite lower face, a plurality of hollow recesses extending into the mat and opening into the lower face, and opposite longitudinally-extending openwork side edges. The openwork upper face is formed of randomly convoluted filaments formed to provide a relatively flat surface of sufficient density to catch heads of fasteners. The plurality of hollow recesses is defined by a plurality of upstanding openwork walls of convoluted filaments that extend from the upper face to the lower face of the mat.

Patent number: 7858174Abstract: A drainage-promoting wrap includes an elongate web of a weather-resistive membrane and a series of separate, laterally spaced-apart, elongate filament spacers bonded to a face of the membrane. The filaments are preferably extruded polymeric filaments and have depressions formed therein providing transverse drainage paths across the filaments. Preferably, the filaments extend substantially parallel to each other and to a longitudinal axis of the elongate membrane. In addition, preferably the membrane is made of a polymeric material so that the filaments are thermally bonded to the face of the membrane. Wall and roof assemblies utilizing the wrap and methods of making the wrap are provided.Type: GrantFiled: September 10, 2009Date of Patent: December 28, 2010Assignees: Benjamin Obdyke Incorporated, Colbond, Inc.Inventors: Geoffrey N. Ehrman, Nathan L. Randello, Clarence C. McCorsley, III

Patent number: 6272707Abstract: A support pad includes a low density layer of an air and water permeable three-dimensional matrix composed of a mat of polymeric material. The layer preferably has a smooth and planar contour on the top face, and a “peak and valley” contour on the bottom face. A pad may be maintained over the top face of the low density layer. Sheeting may be placed over at least the top face of the low density layer and the pad to provide a more comfortable surface for an individual to rest upon.Type: GrantFiled: November 12, 1998Date of Patent: August 14, 2001Assignee: Colbond Inc.Inventors: Thomas J.
