Roof Edge Ventilation Strip

US Patent:
5941028, Aug 24, 1999
Filed:
Mar 21, 1996
Appl. No.:
8/621147
Inventors:
Robert M. Hicks - Westford MA
International Classification:
E04D 1317
US Classification:
52 95
Abstract:
An improved roof edge ventilation strip serving as a starter strip to underlay the first course of shingling along a roof line. The roof edge ventilation strip comprises a roofing panel which is, in use, at substantially the same angle to the vertical as the roof to which it is attached. The material of the ventilation strip is wavy or corrugated for providing added strength. A horizontal soffit section of the ventilation strip has louvers which add strength to the ventilation strip and permit a ladder to be leaned against the strip outer edge. A vertical fascia section provides for fastening the ventilation strip in abutment to a vertical side of a house or a building. An alternate embodiment comprises a protruding drip edge to insure water run-off away from the house.

Combined Leaching And Sump Catch-Basin

US Patent:
4031009, Jun 21, 1977
Filed:
Oct 9, 1975
Appl. No.:
5/620866
Inventors:
Robert M. Hicks - Westford MA
International Classification:
B01D 2110
US Classification:
210164
Abstract:
A pre-cast reinforced concrete catch-basin of larger than conventional catch-basin dimensions includes a solid horizontal bottom wall with solid, hollow, cylindrical side wall upstanding therefrom to about half the height of the catch-basin. The lower half thus forms a sealed, unapertured, undrained, sump receptacle for collecting drain water and silt and allowing sand to settle out. The hollow, cylindrical, upper half contains leaching openings which extend through from the inside to the outside of the wall, from top to bottom, for discharging cleared water to the surrounding, stone-lined, earth without plugging, or clogging, and without polluting nearby wells, brooks, etc.
