DETAILED DESCRIPTION What is claimed is: 1.
a ridge cap for disposal on the peak of a roof covered with shakes or shingles, the ridge cap having a main wall formed to provide a surface that simulates the appearance of wooden shingles or shakes, the main wall comprising two sections angularly disposed with respect to each other to form a crest adjacent the center of the ridge cap, with each section having a forwardly facing, integral, front wall dependent therefrom at a substantially right angle thereto, and simulating the cut edge of a wooden shake, with each front wall having a return bend portion extending beneath the section, and an integral side wall dependent from the opposed sides of the main wall and located at a substantially right angle to the plane of each section, and extending from the front wall to the rear of the ridge cap, said side walls decreasing in height from the front walls to the rear of the ridge cap, a return bend portion folded over each of the sections at the rear thereof, and a raised portion provided in the crest of the ridge cap at the rear thereof to provide a water dam.
2.
The ridge cap of claim 1 in which the return bend portions folded over the rear sections, and the rear sections, have openings for receiving means for fastening the ridge cap to a roof or wall.
3.
The ridge cap of claim 1 in which opposed ends of the return bend portions folded over the rear sections are provided with upstanding tabs adapted to strengthen the return bend portions.
4.
A corner cap for a vertical wall or mansard roof covered with shakes or shingles, said cap having a main wall portion provided with an outer surface formed to simulate the appearance of a wooden shake or shingle and having two angularly disposed, generally planar sections which provide a crest at the center of said cap, with each section having a front wall portion dependent from the forward edge thereof, and located at a substantially right angle to the plane of the section, with each front wall having, in turn, at least one integral flange extending toward the rear of the cap, a tab extending rearwardly from the rear edge of each section for fastening the cap to a supporting surface, and a side wall depending from opposed, side edges of the sections
