  • Publication number: 20040148899
    Abstract: The invention comprises a roof assembly, comprised of a frame and a plurality of louvers rotatably mounted within the frame, each louver having a channel running along its longitudinal axis. The assembly may also include a gutter located at one end of the frame below the louvers and running perpendicular to the longitudinal axes of the louvers. Also, the assembly further includes a mechanism for rotating the louvers from an open position to a closed position. The result is that liquid can flow along the channels in the louvers and into the gutter.
