  • Manually separable ridge vent
    Patent number: 7165363
    Abstract: A ridge vent has an elongated body having a width sufficient to span the ridge of a roof along which the ridge vent is installed. Tear lines of relative weakness are formed at spaced intervals along the elongated body. The tear lines may be formed by score lines, perforations, or otherwise and are configured to allow the body of the ridge vent to be separated manually at a selected tear line by grasping the body and tearing along the tear line. Depending partitions may be disposed on the underside of the body on either side of each tear line to form end walls at new ends formed when the ridge vent is separated along a tear line.
