Abstract

An adjustable roof jack comprising: a flange; a first cylinder having a first cylinder top portion being at an angle between 13 and 19 degrees and a first cylinder bottom portion, fixedly connected to the flange. There may be a second cylinder having a second cylinder top portion and a second cylinder bottom portion at an angle between 71 and 77 degrees. A second cylinder bottom fold is folded over a first cylinder fold to fixedly and rotationally connect at an angle between 13 and 19 degrees. A vent cap cylinder having a vent cap cylinder top portion and a vent cap cylinder bottom portion having at least one vent cap cylinder fold is folded over a second cylinder top fold to rotationally connect the vent cap cylinder to the second cylinder; and a vent cap assembly is fixedly attached to the vent cap cylinder top portion.

Claims (32)

1. An adjustable roof jack, said adjustable roof jack comprising:

a flange;

a first cylinder having a first cylinder top portion and a first cylinder bottom portion, the first cylinder bottom portion fixedly connected to the flange and the first cylinder top portion being at an angle between 13 and 19 degrees and having at least one first cylinder fold having a first cylinder fold raised portion;

a second cylinder having a second cylinder top portion and a second cylinder bottom portion, the second cylinder bottom portion being at an angle between 71 and 77 degrees and having at least one second cylinder bottom fold having a second cylinder bottom fold raised portion and the second cylinder top portion having at least one second cylinder top fold having a second cylinder top fold raised portion, wherein the second cylinder bottom fold is folded over the first cylinder fold raised portion to fixedly and rotationally connect the second cylinder to the first cylinder at an angle between 13 and 19 degrees;

a vent cap cylinder having a vent cap cylinder top portion and a vent cap cylinder bottom portion, the vent cap cylinder bottom portion having at least one vent cap cylinder fold having a vent cap cylinder fold raised portion, wherein the vent cap cylinder fold is folded over the second cylinder top fold raised portion to rotationally connect the vent cap cylinder to the second cylinder; and

a vent cap assembly fixedly attached to the vent cap cylinder top portion.

2. An adjustable roof jack as in claim 1 , wherein said first cylinder bottom portion is further comprising a lip portion fixedly attached to the flange.

3. An adjustable roof jack as in claim 1 , wherein at least one of the first cylinder fold, second cylinder bottom fold, second cylinder top fold and vent cap cylinder fold is v shaped.

4. An adjustable roof jack as in claim 1 , wherein at least one of the first cylinder fold and second cylinder top fold is an end slanted I shape.

5. An adjustable roof jack as in claim 1 , wherein said at least one first cylinder fold is two first cylinder folds, one first cylinder fold being a v shaped fold and a second first cylinder fold being an end slanted I shape and continuous with the first cylinder fold.

6. An adjustable roof jack as in claim 1 , wherein the first cylinder top portion is at an angle substantially 15 degrees and the second cylinder bottom portion is at an angle substantially 75 degrees.

7. An adjustable roof jack as in claim 1 , said a vent cap assembly comprising:

a vent cap top;

at least two canopies in communication with the vent cap top that extend from the vent cap top to at least halfway past the vent cap cylinder.

8. An adjustable roof jack as in claim 1 , said first cylinder is further comprising a flange fastening seam.

9. An adjustable roof jack as in claim 1 , wherein said flange is octagonal, circular, square or rectangular shaped.

10. An adjustable roof jack as in claim 1 , said vent cap assembly having a vent cap top that is a square vent cap, round vent cap or wagon vent cap.

11. An adjustable roof jack, said adjustable roof jack comprising:

an octagonal shaped flange;

a first cylinder having a first cylinder top portion and a first cylinder bottom portion, the first cylinder bottom portion fixedly connected to the octagonal shaped flange and the first cylinder top portion being at an angle between 13 and 19 degrees and having two first cylinder folds, one first cylinder fold being a v shaped fold having a first cylinder fold raised portion and a second first cylinder fold being an end slanted I shape and continuous with the one first cylinder fold being a v shaped fold;

a second cylinder having a second cylinder top portion and a second cylinder bottom portion, the second cylinder bottom portion being at an angle between 71 and 77 degrees and having one second cylinder bottom v shaped fold having a second cylinder bottom fold raised portion and the second cylinder top portion having at least one second cylinder top fold having a second cylinder top fold raised portion, wherein the second cylinder bottom fold is folded over the second first cylinder fold being an end slanted I shape to fixedly and rotationally connect the second cylinder to the first cylinder at an angle between 13 and 19 degrees;

a vent cap cylinder having a vent cap cylinder top portion and a vent cap cylinder bottom portion, the vent cap cylinder bottom portion having at least one vent cap cylinder fold having a vent cap cylinder fold raised portion, wherein the vent cap cylinder fold is folded over the second cylinder top fold raised portion to rotationally connect the vent cap cylinder to the second cylinder and a vent cap assembly fixedly attached to the vent cap cylinder top portion.

12. An adjustable roof jack as in claim 11 , wherein said first cylinder bottom portion is further comprising a lip portion fixedly attached to the flange.

13. An adjustable roof jack as in claim 11 , wherein at least one of the first cylinder fold, second cylinder bottom fold, second cylinder top fold and vent cap cylinder fold is v shaped.

14. An adjustable roof jack as in claim 11 , wherein at least one of the first cylinder fold and second cylinder top fold is an end slanted I shape.

15. An adjustable roof jack as in claim 11 , wherein said at least one first cylinder fold is two first cylinder folds, one first cylinder fold being a v shaped fold and a second first cylinder fold being an end slanted I shape and continuous with the first cylinder fold.

16. An adjustable roof jack as in claim 11 , wherein the first cylinder top portion is at an angle substantially 15 degrees and the second cylinder bottom portion is at an angle substantially 75 degrees.

17. An adjustable roof jack as in claim 11 , said a vent cap assembly comprising:

a vent cap top;

at least two canopies in communication with the vent cap top that extend from the vent cap top to at least halfway past the vent cap cylinder.

18. An adjustable roof jack as in claim 11 , said first cylinder further comprising a flange fastening seam.

19. An adjustable roof jack as in claim 11 , said vent cap assembly having a vent cap top that is a square vent cap top, round vent cap top or wagon vent cap top.
