Description

La présente invention est relative à un élément de revêtement pour toitures et murs de maisons sous forme d'un panneau quadrangulaire simulant, sur la face supérieure de parement, des rangées perpendiculaires les unes aux autres de plusieurs tuiles emboîtées de forme traditionnelle, cet élément présentant, d'une part, deux gorges latérales parallèles ouvertes du côté de la face de l'élément opposée à ladite face de parement, s'étendant tout le long des bords latéraux du panneau et ayant un fond qui fait saillie par rapport à la face de parement de manière à simuler des emboîtements des tuiles et, d'autre part, une nervure d'ètandant le long du bord longitudinal du panneau et faisant saillie par rapport à la face de parement, ainsi qu'un rebord s'étendant le long du bord inférieur du panneau et destiné à recouvrir la nervure d'un deuxième élément de revêtement identique situé immédiatement en dessous du premier élément de revêtement.The present invention relates to a covering element for roofs and walls of houses in the form of a quadrangular panel simulating, on the upper facing face, rows perpendicular to each other of several nested tiles of traditional shape, this element having , on the one hand, two parallel lateral grooves open on the side of the face of the element opposite to said facing face, extending all along the lateral edges of the panel and having a bottom which projects in relation to the face facing so as to simulate interlocking of the tiles and, on the other hand, a spreading rib along the longitudinal edge of the panel and projecting with respect to the facing face, as well as a flange extending along from the lower edge of the panel and intended to cover the rib with a second identical covering element situated immediately below the first covering element.

On connaît par le brevet français n° 1.021.617 un élément de revêtement pour toiture constitué d'un panneau représentant une seule tuile différente d'une tuile en terre cuite, encadré latéralement de deux bandes semi- cylindriques ou gorges longitudinales et de deux nervures de renforcement bordant les côtés transversaux du panneau. Ces éléments de revêtement ou tuiles sont posés sur des solives tubulaires ou chevrons et fixés à ceux-ci par des moyens d'attache. Les tuiles selon ledit brevet français sont supportées à l'écartement entre chaque tuile par des chevrons tubulaires eux-mêmes fixés sur des lattes horizontales, une telle latte horizontale étant prévue pour chaque rangée de tuiles.French patent No. 1,021,617 discloses a covering element for roofing consisting of a panel representing a single tile different from a terracotta tile, framed laterally by two semi-cylindrical strips or longitudinal grooves and two ribs. reinforcement bordering the transverse sides of the panel. These covering elements or tiles are placed on tubular joists or rafters and fixed to these by fastening means. The tiles according to said French patent are supported at the spacing between each tile by tubular rafters themselves fixed on horizontal slats, such a horizontal slat being provided for each row of tiles.

On connaît, par ailleurs, par le brevet français 1.414.215 un élément de revêtement pour toiture simulant des rangées perpendiculaires entre elles de tuiles emboîtées, cet élément de revêtement présentant deux gorges latérales et une nervure s'étendant le long de son bord supérieur, cette nervure étant fixée sur un liteau par l'intermédiaire d'un tenon transversal solidaire de la nervure.We also know from French patent 1,414,215 a covering element for roofs simulating perpendicular rows of interlocking tiles, this covering element having two lateral grooves and a rib extending along its upper edge, this rib being fixed on a batten by means of a transverse tenon integral with the rib.

Comme le savent les hommes de métier, dans le domaine des charpentes de toiture, les liteaux sont des lattes horizontales sur lesquelles sont accrochées et/ou fixées des tuiles ou plaques de revêtement. Ces liteaux sont, en général, en bois et ont une faible section transversale, de sorte qu'ils doivent eux-mêmes être supportés par des chevrons, c'est-à-dire des pièces de charpentes qui, de manière générale, s'étendent perpendiculairement au sommet ou faîte de la toiture.As those skilled in the art know, in the field of roof framing, the battens are horizontal slats on which are hung and / or fixed tiles or covering plates. These battens are, generally, of wood and have a small cross section, so that they themselves must be supported by rafters, that is to say pieces of frames which, in general, extend perpendicular to the top or ridge of the roof.

Dans le brevet français n° 1.424.215, les liteaux horizontaux auxquels est accrochée une rangée d'éléments de revêtement doivent être supportés par des chevrons ou des supports analogues.In French Patent No. 1,424,215, the horizontal battens to which a row of covering elements is hung must be supported by rafters or similar supports.

La présente invention concerne un élément de revêtement du type décrit dans le premier paragraphe du présent mémoire qui, à la différence des éléments de revêtement selon les brevets français n° 1.021.617 et 1.424.215, ne nécessite, pour sa pose, aucun liteau ou latte horizontale et se fixe directement sur des chevrons classiques de section quadrangulaire.The present invention relates to a covering element of the type described in the first paragraph of this specification which, unlike the covering elements according to French patents Nos. 1,021,617 and 1,424,215, requires no batting for its installation. or horizontal slat and is fixed directly on classic rafters of quadrangular section.

L'élément de revêtement suivant la présente invention présente des gorges latérales de section quadrangulaire de sorte qu'il peut, de manière très simple et économique, être embroîté et fixé directement sur des chevrons d'une charpente de type traditionnel sans interposition de liteaux ou de lattes.The covering element according to the present invention has lateral grooves of quadrangular section so that it can, in a very simple and economical manner, be fitted and fixed directly to rafters of a frame of the traditional type without interposition of battens or slats.

Selon une particularité de l'invention, les , gorges latérales susdites de l'élément suivant l'invention sont conformées de manière à prendre appui uniquement dans des parties inclinées, simulant l'épaisseur des tuiles, de leur fond sur les chevrons, tandis que ces gorges présentent des faces latérales internes destinées à être longitudinalement en contact avec les faces latérales des chevrons lorsque ces gorges sont emboîtées sur ceux-ci.According to a feature of the invention, the aforementioned lateral grooves of the element according to the invention are shaped so as to bear only in inclined parts, simulating the thickness of the tiles, from their bottom to the rafters, while these grooves have internal lateral faces intended to be longitudinally in contact with the lateral faces of the rafters when these grooves are fitted onto them.

La présente invention concerne également une toiture ou un mur portant une charpente comprenant des chevrons s'étendant perpendiculairement au faîte ou sommet de la toiture ou du mur et des éléments de revêtement sous forme de panneaux quadrangulaires simulant, sur la face supérieure de parement de la toiture ou du mur, des rangées perpendiculaires les unes aux autres de plusieurs tuiles emboîtées de forme traditionnelle, chaque élément de revêtement présentant, d'une part, deux gorges latérales parallèles ouvertes du côté de la face de l'élément opposée à la face de parement, s'étendant tout le long des bords latéraux du panneau et ayant un fond qui fait saillie par rapport à la face de parement, de manière à simuler les emboîtements des tuiles et, d'autre part, une nervure s'étendant le long du bord supérieur du panneau et faisant saillie par rapport à la face de parement, ainsi qu'un rebord s'étendant le long du bord inférieur du panneau et destiné à recevoir la nervure d'un deuxième élément identique situé immédiatement en dessous du premier.The present invention also relates to a roof or a wall carrying a frame comprising rafters extending perpendicularly to the ridge or top of the roof or wall and covering elements in the form of quadrangular panels simulating, on the upper facing face of the roof or wall, rows perpendicular to each other of several nested tiles of traditional shape, each covering element having, on the one hand, two parallel lateral grooves open on the side of the face of the element opposite to the face of facing, extending all along the lateral edges of the panel and having a bottom which projects relative to the facing face, so as to simulate the interlocking of the tiles and, on the other hand, a rib extending along from the upper edge of the panel and projecting from the facing face, as well as a flange extending along the lower edge of the panel and intended to receive the rib of a second e identical element located immediately below the first.

Dans la toiture ou le mur du type défini ci- avant, les gorges latérales des éléments de revêtement présentent une section quadrangulaire et sont emboîtées et fixées directement sur des chevrons de section correspondante de la charpente, sans interposition de liteaux ou lattes.In the roof or wall of the type defined above, the lateral grooves of the covering elements have a quadrangular section and are fitted and fixed directly on rafters of corresponding section of the frame, without interposition of battens or slats.

Dans le présent mémoire, les expressions "face de parement" et "face interne" de l'élément ou panneau de revêtement ou de la toiture désignent la face visible de l'extérieur, par opposition à la face tournée vers la charpente ou les chevrons.In this specification, the expressions “facing face” and “internal face” of the covering element or panel or of the roof denote the face visible from the outside, as opposed to the face facing the frame or the rafters. .

L'invention est illustrée par la description suivante des dessins annexés au présent mémoire qui représentent, à seul titre d'exemple, un élément de revêtement de toiture suivant l'invention.The invention is illustrated by the following description of the drawings annexed to this specification which represent, by way of example only, a roof covering element according to the invention.

Dans ces dessins:

  • - la figure 1 est une vue en perspective d'un élément de toiture posé et fixé sur deux chevrons voisins, cette vue montrant également, en partie, un élément de revêtement adjacent, et
  • - la figure 2 est une vue en élévation latérale d'un élément selon la figure 1.
In these drawings:
  • FIG. 1 is a perspective view of a roof element placed and fixed on two neighboring rafters, this view also showing, in part, an adjacent covering element, and
  • - Figure 2 is a side elevational view of an element according to Figure 1.

Dans ces deux figures, les mêmes notations de référence désignent des parties identiques de l'élément de revêtement suivant l'invention.In these two figures, the same reference notations designate identical parts of the covering element according to the invention.

L'élément de revêtement représenté aux figures 1 et 2 est constitué d'une feuille mince 1 qui peut être en matière plastique, telle que du polyéthylène, du chlorure de polyvinyle, de la résine acrylique, du polyester, etc., en métal, par exemple en tôle d'acier éventuellement galvanisée, en aluminium, etc., en carton bitumé ou en asbeste-ciment.The covering element shown in FIGS. 1 and 2 consists of a thin sheet 1 which may be made of plastic, such as polyethylene, polyvinyl chloride, acrylic resin, polyester, etc., of metal, for example in sheet steel, possibly galvanized, in aluminum, etc., in bituminous cardboard or asbestos-cement.

La feuille 1 peut éventuellement être armée de fibres minérales, animales ou synthétiques, telles qui des fibres de verre ou de matière plastique.The sheet 1 can optionally be reinforced with mineral, animal or synthetic fibers, such as glass or plastic fibers.

Dans la description suivante, on a donné les significations suivantes aux expressions citées ci-après.In the following description, the expressions given below have been given the following meanings.

La "face interne" de l'élément est la face opposée à la face externe visible 2 de l'élément, lorsque celui-ci est posé sur une toiture ou un mur.The "internal face" of the element is the opposite face to the visible external face 2 of the element, when the latter is placed on a roof or a wall.

Le "bord supérieur" de l'élément est le bord de celui-ci qui est le plus proche du sommet ou faîte de la toiture ou du mur, lorsque l'élément est en place sur cette toiture ou ce mur.The "upper edge" of the element is the edge thereof which is closest to the top or ridge of the roof or wall, when the element is in place on this roof or this wall.

La direction "avant" d'un élément est celle qui va de son bord supérieur vers son bord opposé. c'est-à-dire vers le bord de l'élément qui est plus éloigné du sommet ou faîte en question, lorsque l'élément est en place.The "forward" direction of an element is that which goes from its upper edge to its opposite edge. that is to say towards the edge of the element which is further from the summit or ridge in question, when the element is in place.

Enfin, un élément "voisin" d'un élément considéré est un élément situé au-dessus, en dessous ou sur l'un ou l'autre des côtés, c'est-à-dire un élément qui chevauche partiellement l'élément considéré dans une toiture ou un bardage de mur ou de pignon.Finally, an element "adjacent" to an element considered is an element located above, below or on one or the other of the sides, that is to say an element which partially overlaps the element considered. in a roof or wall or gable cladding.

Les figures 1 et 2 montrent que, dans la forme de réalisation illustrative de l'invention représentée sur les dessins, l'élément de revêtement présente le long de son bord supérieur 3 une nervure marginale 4 qui est destinée à rendre l'élément rigide. La présence de cette nervure qui peut être ouverte vers la face interne 5 de l'élément à la figure 2 permet la suppression des lattes communément utilisées dans les toitures et constitue ainsi un avantage important de l'élément de revêtement suivant l'invention, puisque cette suppression rend la pose de la toiture ou du bardage bien plus rapide que dans le procédé de pose de tuiles classique.Figures 1 and 2 show that, in the illustrative embodiment of the invention shown in the drawings, the covering element has along its upper edge 3 a marginal rib 4 which is intended to make the element rigid. The presence of this rib which can be opened towards the internal face 5 of the element in FIG. 2 allows the removal of the slats commonly used in roofs and thus constitutes an important advantage of the covering element according to the invention, since this removal makes the laying of the roof or cladding much faster than in the conventional tile laying process.

Comme on le voit aux figures 1 et 2, la nervure 4 présente une face antérieure 6 inclinée vers l'avant de l'élément, pour faciliter l'écoulement de l'eau de pluie.As seen in Figures 1 and 2, the rib 4 has a front face 6 inclined towards the front of the element, to facilitate the flow of rainwater.

Il est évident qu'au lieu d'être constitué d'une nervure saillante en forme de U renversé, la nervure marginale 4 qui sert à rigidifier ou raidir l'élément de revêtement 1 peut présenter n'importe quelle autre forme adéquate, par exemple celle d'une nervure saillante pleine à surface supérieure plane (comme celle montrée à la figure 1) ou convexe. Au lieu d'une nervure, on peut utiliser aussi un bourrelet faisant saillie sur la face externe dite de parement 2 du bord supérieur de l'élément de revêtement. De même, au lieu de s'étendre le long du bord supérieur 3 de l'élément de revêtement 1, la nervure de renforcement ou de raidissement 4 peut s'étendre en un endroit quelconque de l'élément, parallèlement à son bord supérieur 3, pourvu que la présence de cette nervure confère à l'élément de revêtement une rigidité ou raideur suffisante pour que l'emploi de lattes soit superflu.It is obvious that instead of being constituted by a projecting rib in the shape of an inverted U, the marginal rib 4 which serves to stiffen or stiffen the covering element 1 can have any other suitable shape, for example that of a solid projecting rib with a flat upper surface (like that shown in FIG. 1) or convex. Instead of a rib, it is also possible to use a bead projecting from the external face known as facing 2 of the upper edge of the covering element. Likewise, instead of extending along the upper edge 3 of the covering element 1, the reinforcing or stiffening rib 4 can extend at any point of the element, parallel to its upper edge 3 , provided that the presence of this rib gives the covering element sufficient rigidity or stiffness to make the use of slats unnecessary.

Comme on le voit à la figure 2, la nervure de renforcement marginale 4 peut présenter un rebord 7 relié à la branche verticale 8 de ladite nervure, dont l'autre branche 6 est inclinée vers l'avant. La figure 2, révèle que la nervure de renforcement 4 présente une section en forme de trapèze rectangle, mais elle pourrait avoir une section en forme de trapèze régulier.As seen in Figure 2, the marginal reinforcement rib 4 may have a flange 7 connected to the vertical branch 8 of said rib, the other branch 6 is inclined forward. FIG. 2 shows that the reinforcing rib 4 has a section in the shape of a rectangular trapezoid, but it could have a section in the shape of a regular trapezoid.

A son bord inférieur 3' opposé à son bord supérieur nervuré 3, l'élément de revêtement 1 présente un rebord incliné 9, l'inclinaison de ce rebord 9 étant semblable à celle de la partie 6 de la nervure de renforcement 4, de façon que le rebord 9 puisse chevaucher ladite partie inclinée 6 lorsque deux éléments de revêtement sont juxtaposés sur une toiture en forme de dièdre dans une direction perpendiculaire au faîte de cette toiture.At its lower edge 3 'opposite its ribbed upper edge 3, the covering element 1 has an inclined rim 9, the inclination of this rim 9 being similar to that of the part 6 of the reinforcing rib 4, so that the rim 9 can overlap said inclined portion 6 when two covering elements are juxtaposed on a dihedral-shaped roof in a direction perpendicular to the ridge of this roof.

Comme on le voit, en particulier, à la figure 1, l'élément de revêtement présente aussi le long de ses deux bords opposés 10 qui sont sensiblement perpendiculaires à la nervure marginale de renforcement 4, une gorge latérale 11 1 ouverte vers la face interne de l'élément et destinée à s'emboîter sur un chevron 12. Un tel emboîtement est montré aux figures 1 et 2. Les branches 13 et 14 peuvent avoir une hauteur quelconque pour autant qu'elles épousent la forme de la face supérieure 15 et, au moins en partie, celle des faces latérales 16 et 17 des chevrons 12.As can be seen, in particular, in FIG. 1, the covering element also has along its two opposite edges 10 which are substantially perpendicular to the marginal reinforcement rib 4, a lateral groove 11 1 open towards the internal face of the element and intended to fit on a rafter 12. Such an interlocking is shown in FIGS. 1 and 2. The branches 13 and 14 can have any height as long as they match the shape of the upper face 15 and , at least in part, that of the lateral faces 16 and 17 of the rafters 12.

La figure 1 révèle que les gorges 11 ont, au voisinage de la nervure marginale de renforcement 4, une largeur quelque peu supérieure à celle de leur extrémité opposée 18. En fait, on peut faire en sorte que les gorges 11 aillent quelque peu en s'élargissant de leur extrémité inférieure 18 vers leur extrémité supérieure 19, de telle sorte qu'un emboîtement dans ces gorges 11 soit possible lorsqu'il est nécessaire de juxtaposer deux éléments de renforcement 1 dans une direction parallèle au faîte d'une toiture classique en forme de dièdre (comme montré à la figure 1Figure 1 reveals that the grooves 11 have, in the vicinity of the marginal reinforcing rib 4, a width somewhat greater than that of their opposite end 18. In fact, it can be made that the grooves 11 go somewhat in s widening from their lower end 18 to their upper end 19, so that an interlocking in these grooves 11 is possible when it is necessary to juxtapose two reinforcing elements 1 in a direction parallel to the ridge of a roof classic dihedral shape (as shown in figure 1

L'élément de revêtement 1 suivant l'invention peut être muni, par exemple, au voisinage des extrémités supérieure 19 et inférieure 18 des gorges latérales d'emboîtement 11, de trous 20 qui peuvent être cylindriques ou coniques, destinés à des organes de fixation tels que des clous 21. Il est évident que d'autres moyens de fixation des éléments de revêtement 1 aux chevrons 12 peuvent être prévus, par exemple des agrafes, brocher ou clips.The covering element 1 according to the invention can be provided, for example, in the vicinity of the upper 19 and lower 18 ends of the lateral interlocking grooves 11, of holes 20 which can be cylindrical or conical, intended for fixing members such as nails 21. It is obvious that other means of fixing the covering elements 1 to the rafters 12 can be provided, for example staples, pins or clips.

A la figure 1, on voit que l'élément de revêtement est muni d'une nervure centrale 22 et de parties inclinées 23, ces dernières servant également de renforts, en manière telle que l'élément présente une forme semblable à celle de quatre tuiles 24. Cette nervure centrale n'est pas indispensable et pourrait être inexistante. Il est évident que l'élément de revêtement de toitures ou de murs peut présenter une forme et des dimensions telles qu'il représente un nombre de tuiles plus élevé que quatre ou moins élevé que quatre. En d'autres termes, cet élément peut présenter une largeur ou une longueur plus élevée ou moins élevée que la largeur ou la longueur de l'élément montré à titre d'example sur les dessins.In FIG. 1, it can be seen that the covering element is provided with a central rib 22 and inclined parts 23, the latter also serving as reinforcements, so that the element has a shape similar to that of four tiles. 24. This central rib is not essential and could be non-existent. It is obvious that the covering element for roofs or walls can have a shape and dimensions such that it represents a number of tiles greater than four or less than four. In other words, this element may have a width or a length greater or less than the width or the length of the element shown by way of example in the drawings.

Il est entendu que l'invention n'est pas limitée aux détails décrits plus haut et que de nombreuses modifications et variantes peuvent être apportées à ces détails sans sortir du cadre de l'invention, l'étendue de la protection étant déterminée par la teneur des revendications.It is understood that the invention is not limited to the details described above and that numerous modifications and variants can be made to these details without departing from the scope of the invention, the scope of protection being determined by the content demands.

Ainsi, les nervures de renforcement 4 et les gorges d'emboîtement 11 peuvent éventuellement faire saillie sur la face interne de la feuille plutôt que sur sa face externe 2 ou visible, lorsque l'élément de revêtement est en place sur une toiture.Thus, the reinforcing ribs 4 and the interlocking grooves 11 may possibly protrude on the internal face of the sheet rather than on its external face 2 or visible, when the covering element is in place on a roof.
