Definitions

  • the present invention relates to roofing tiles, or so-called artificial slates, of the kind which are of generally planar configuration and comprise a first side lock portion defined by upwardly facing channels extending along one edge portion thereof, a second side lock portion defined by at least one downwardly facing channel adapted in use to overlie the upwardly facing channels of an adjacent similar tile and a head lock portion defined by an upwardly facing channel extending along an upper edge portion of the tile, at least one fastener receiving aperture being provided in said first side lock portion adjacent one end thereof and a further aperture being provided in said head lock portion.
  • the invention also relates to a tiled roof comprising a roof structure and a plurality of these roofing tiles which are arranged in mutually overlapping relationship.
  • the beforementioned tile is described in United States Patent Specification 2482835.
  • the tiles described in that specification have the disadvantage that each requires two screws to secure the tile to the roof structure on which it is laid. It is an object of the present invention to provide a tile which may be secured to the roof structure by a single fastener and yet still allow the degree of overlap of adjacent overlapping tiles to be adjusted.
  • the invention being characterised in that a series of fastener receiving apertures (11) is provided in said first side lock portion (2) and said further aperture (18) provides for passage of a fastener for securing an overlapping similar tile to the roof member, the arrangement being such that in use, a fastener is placed in one of the said series of apertures in the overlapping tile and then through the said other aperture for fastening the tile to a roof member, the series of apertures providing for adjustment of the overlapping tile relative to the roof member to permit variation of overlap with the said tile.
  • the slate comprises a downwardly extending wall portion at its lower edge portion adapted, in use, to overlap the head lock portion of an underlying adjacent similar slate or slates, and preferably also adapted to abut the ends of the channels of the first side lock portion of a sideway adjacent similar tile.
  • a roofing tile or "artificial slate” 1 is generally rectangular in plan and of generally planar configuration having a right hand side lock portion 2 and a head lock portion 3, see Figure 1.
  • the upper surface 4 of the slate is provided with a riven finish to simulate the surface of natural slate.
  • the side lock portion 2 is double channel shape in cross-section, see Figure 2.
  • Two channels 5 and 6 thereof extend the length of the side lock portion 3 and face upwardly, see Figure 2.
  • the channels 5 and 6 are closed by a wall portion 8.
  • the channel 5 nearer the edge of the slate is provided with a wall 10 extending the length of the channel at the edge of the slate and juxtaposed the wall towards the lower end of the channel 5 is a series of interconnected holes 11 to facilitate nailing of the slate to roof battens, not shown.
  • the slates are mounted on a solid frame timber roof structure. There are five holes 11 which allow for adjustment of the overlap of the slate 1 with an adjacent similar slate in an up the roof direction, as will be described below.
  • the channel 5 is also provided with two further holes 12 and 13 to allow for extra nailing at the eaves of the roof.
  • the head lock portion 3 has a single channel configuration 14 extending thereacross which is defined by two upwardly extending walls 15 and 16, see particularly Figures 3, 4 and 5.
  • the channel 14 is broken at its mid portion by a boss 17 in which is provided a slot 18 to enable the nail for fixing an overlapping slate 1 to pass therethrough as will be described below.
  • the left hand side lock portion 19 of the slate 1 comprises a downwardly facing channel 20 adapted in use to overlie the upwardly facing channels 5 and 6 of an adjoining slate, see Figure 2.
  • a lower edge 21 of the slate 1, see Figures 1,3,4 and 5 is provided with a downwardly extending wall 22 which in use extends beyond the wall 16 of the channel 14, see Figure 3.
  • the slate includes a cut-out portion 24 and in use, the portion of wall 22 at the left hand portion 19 of an adjacent similar slate extends into the cut-out portion 24 and abuts the end of the cut-out and the channels 5 and 6 of the slate.
  • a roof may be covered quickly and easily without the need for clips of the type used for securing plain natural slates and plain artificial slates to a roof such that part of the clip appears on top of the slate.
  • Such a clip is commonly used nowadays.
  • the slate described above is more aesthetically pleasing and acceptable.
  • the slate 1 may be made from any suitable moulding composition and particularly from the composition described in out British Patent Application GB-A-2051097 published on 14th January 1981 and entitled "Moulding Compositions".
  • roofing tile Although the product is described as a roofing tile, it will be appreciated that it may also be used for cladding purposes.
