(54) Roof vent


(57) A roof vent comprises a base (10) having front and rear edges (12 and 14), at least two walls (20) extending from the rear edge (14) to the front edge (12) of the base, a cover (16) mounted on the walls and a filter covering the opening at the rear edge between the base and the cover, the cover (16) extending from over the rear edge (14) of the base only part of the way to the front edge (12), and the walls (20) being of reduced height adjacent the front edge (12). The vent provides ventilation between the spaces above and below the underfelt without rending the underlay or impairing its effectiveness.
