Abstract
The present invention provides for a roof ridge ventilator cover that is adapted to be removably secured to a conventional roof ridge ventilator. The roof ridge ventilator cover of the present invention, when installed on a conventional roof ridge ventilator, will cover and block the air vents of the ventilator. The roof ridge ventilator cover generally includes two panels serving to cover and block the two panels of air louvers or vents of the roof ridge ventilator. The roof ridge ventilator cover may be made from sheet aluminum or other sheet material, including sheet made of plastic, having sufficient resilience to return unaided to a formed shape after some deflection. The roof ridge ventilator cover is installed by deflecting the cover sufficiently so the cover may be placed over the top portion of the roof ridge ventilator. The resilience of the roof ridge ventilator cover urges the cover back to an original shape to effectuate blocking the air vents of the roof ridge ventilator and further to connect the cover to the ventilator.
