gable roof pitches superimposed on top of one another the solid lines of rake members 24 u2032 24 u2033 illustrate the shallow roof pitch of fig4 a the ghost lines of rake members 240 u2032 240 u2033 illustrate the steeper roof pitch of fig4 b although different gable roof pitches are illustrated the same universal rake ridge cap 20 can be trimmed to fit both gable roof designs by adjusting the amount of material removed from fourth edge 42 and fifth edge 44 of universal rake ridge cap 20 as illustrated in fig3 d and 3e when universal rake ridge cap 20 is fitted in this manner stepped arcuate surface 32 of universal rake ridge cap 20 cooperatively blend with stepped surfaces 48 u2032 48 u2033 of rake members 24 u2032 24 u2033 thereby forming an attractive finish joint as shown in fig1 and 5 fig6 a illustrates a cross section of universal rake ridge cap 20 taken through lines 6 a 6 a of fig3 b in fig6 b 6 c 6 d illustrate other contemplated cross sections of stepped arcuate surface 32 of universal rake ridge cap 20 that may be in the shape of a u201c u u201d u201c v u201d or u201c w u201d or variations thereof it is important to note that the process set forth above.
