[ What is claimed is:] [1.]1. A tile vent for covering a ridge of an undulating flat through high profile tile roof, said ridge having an opening therein for allowing ventilation of static air from an attic space of a building, said tile vent comprising:two unitary panels adapted to be positioned over said and spaced from and project a mirror image of each other, wherein each of said panels comprises:an elongated, generally sinusoidal body having:a transverse first end and a transverse second end;a top portion and a bottom portion extending longitudinally and parallel to each other from said transverse first end to said transverse second end;an upper rim of sinusoidal configuration extending from said top portion adapted to conform to a vertical ridge board and be affixed thereto;a lower seal lip extending from said bottom portion, having a horizontal, flat configuration projecting away from said elongated sinusoidal body adapted to be placed on said tile roof;a central portion between said upper rim and said lower seal lip comprising:alternating ridges of dome-shape configuration, and alternating valleys of flat configuration between said alternating ridges, said alternating ridges and said alternating valleys smoothly merging into each other to conform to a sinusoidal configuration;a plurality of vent slots in the alternating ridges serving as outlets for exhaust air from the attic space; andat least one stiffener extending longitudinally in said elongated sinusoidal body to render strength and rigidity thereto.
