Description

Attika prefabricated element applicant Rolf Pieper

Up to now, an attic has mainly consisted of wooden planking with a suspended gutter. These gutters are often dented by ladders being used when cleaning the gutters or doing other roof work. Where gutters have been installed in a concealed manner, the wooden planking is often slated to avoid the need to paint the wood.

The previous attic design required a lot of individual work from carpenters, plumbers, roofers and painters. All of these jobs previously required a lot of time because they were carried out one after the other during construction, and they were previously time-consuming and expensive.

The prefabricated attic element registered here serves to speed up the work. It is prefabricated in the hall, thus saving long individual assembly work in wind and weather. At the same time, in addition to the gutter, each prefabricated attic element is provided with a leaf protection gutter cover to prevent blockages caused by leaves or rubber balls, shuttlecocks, etc., which often lead to blockages in the downpipe caused by children playing. Structural damage was often the result.

Furthermore, the gutter itself, as it is installed in a concealed manner, will drain rainwater and accumulated small parts such as pine needles, flower and bud parts, flying seeds, bird droppings, dust, moss and algae more quickly than before, as it will remain clean instead of becoming boggy with compost sludge as before.

Description

A rod frame made of aluminum or other rust-proof material carries the V-shaped sloped gutter within its rectangular shape. The adjustable suspension device for the rod frame is attached to bolts that are embedded in the roof beams or in concrete or masonry, depending on the roof design. After hanging and aligning the frame, the new sloped gutter is inserted, the spacers are attached, and after attaching the gutter cover, the screen is attached to the outside.

The new gutter cover can be opened for inspection purposes. The parapet's screen can be made from one piece with a front and bottom view. It can be made from plastic, copper, aluminium or other durable material and can have various decorative elements. These can also be inserted into grooves as individual motifs, see Fig. 7 .

Instead of the new V-shaped sloped gutter, the previously known semi-circular or square gutters can also be installed. However, this requires the new two-part gutter iron design, which achieves the desired slope for the rainwater drainage by locking at different heights, see Fig. 6.

Drawings

Figure 1 shows a prefabricated attic element installed on the building with a cross-section and a perspective view of the front and bottom views ₀

Figure 2 shows the top view of the gutter cover 1 opened at the front and closed behind it. The cross section shows the frame 2 with the sloped gutter 3 with outlet and downpipe k . In 5 i ^s * an adjustable suspension on the roof beam, - - and in 6 an adjustable suspension embedded in the masonry is shown. 7 is the outer screen with ornaments, 8 are spacers,

Figure 3 shows the new V-shape of the sloped gutter in perspective. Its upper edge is angled to the left and right, so that it rests on the rod frame along its entire length (see Figure 2) _- this means that no individual gutter irons are required. The slanted water drain is already built into the new sloped gutter, as can be seen from the side view in Figure U. The slope for the rainwater drain can be seen from the height information (8 cm at the top and 30_60 cm at the bottom).

Figure 4 shows the new sloped gutter installed on the building, where the clear gradient of the sloping water drain can be seen.

Figure 5, on the other hand, shows the almost horizontal installation of today's mostly semi-circular gutters.

Figure 6 shows a two-part gutter with an inserted semi-circular gutter. The loose lower gutter part is pushed into the vertical slots of the fixed upper gutter part and locked in place by turning. By locking at different heights, a steeper gradient is achieved if the installation of the previously known gutters is desired.

Figure 7 shows the insertion of individual decorative motifs into grooves in the screen.

Claims (1)

Attika prefabricated element applicant Rolf Pieper Protection claims Attic prefabricated element, characterized in that a stainless steel support frame simultaneously carries the sloped gutter with the gutter cover on top and the screen with ornamental design in one piece. Attic prefabricated element according to claim 1, characterized in that the gutter cover is designed to be hinged in its longitudinal direction. Attic prefabricated element according to claim 1+2, characterized in that the sloped gutter rests on the support frame along its entire length due to the bending of its longitudinal edges, its largest cross-section is V-shaped and its base has a steep slope along its entire length. Attic prefabricated element according to claims 1-3», characterized in that the gutter iron is designed in two parts. The upper part has two rows of offset long slots, in which its lower part can be locked at different heights without tools. Attic prefabricated element according to claims 1-4, characterized in that the decorative motifs of the screen can be inserted individually into grooves or can be attached as a uniform continuous band.
