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: 7814715Abstract: A roof ridge vent comprises a one-piece, elongate body rollable into a spiral roll. The vent body has an elongate upper wall with a pair of longitudinally-extending side edges, an underside, and a plurality of bracing walls depending therefrom. The vent body further includes a pair of grillwork walls with ventilation openings extending downwardly and outwardly from the side edges of the upper wall. Still further, the vent body includes a pair of longitudinally-extending sidewalls that project from the outer edges of each of the grillwork walls and that are disposed upright with respect to the upper wall. Each of the sidewalls has a continuous, longitudinally-extending top strip and a spaced apart pair of longitudinally-extending walls depending from the top strip. The pair of walls includes a series of drainage openings which provide drainage paths through the sidewalls and which permit the sidewalls to be rolled into the spiral roll.Type: GrantFiled: July 23, 2007Date of Patent: October 19, 2010Assignee: Benjamin Obdyke IncorporatedInventors: Michael S. Coulton, George Caruso, Nathan L. Randello, Ted Kerwood-Winslow

Patent number: 7810292Abstract: A mortar and debris collection device for use within a cavity wall to prevent the blockage of weep holes at the base of the wall. The cavity wall assembly includes a masonry wall, an adjacent inner wall, a wall cavity therebetween, and a free-standing elongate strip of openwork material located within the cavity forming a debris collection surface a spaced distance above a base surface of the cavity. Preferably, the openwork material is inserted and positioned within the cavity after the inner wall and only a base portion of the outer masonry wall is constructed. Thereafter, the upper portion of the outer masonry wall is constructed and any mortar or debris falling into the cavity is caught and supported on the debris collection surface.Type: GrantFiled: January 22, 2009Date of Patent: October 12, 2010Assignee: Benjamin Obdyke IncorporatedInventors: Geoffrey N. Ehrman, Michael S. Coulton, Nathan L. Randello

Patent number: 7393273Abstract: A roof ridge vent has a pair of opposed, spaced-apart, elongate strips of ventilation material providing ventilation passageways transversely therethrough and forms opposed longitudinally-extending sides of the vent. The elongate ventilation strips are interconnected by a plurality of supports extending transverse relative to the elongate ventilation strips. Each adjacent pair of supports defines an opening therebetween such that an underlying roof surface is visible to an installer through the openings. A vent assembly and method of installation are provided.Type: GrantFiled: September 6, 2006Date of Patent: July 1, 2008Assignee: Benjamin Obdyke, Inc.Inventors: Geoffrey N. Ehrman, Michael S.
