Definitions

  • the invention relates to a building having a sloping roof and a gutter being suspended by brackets fastened to the roof, the position and/or length of the brackets being adjustable.
  • the invention seeks to obviate the above mentioned shortcomings of known roof gutter suspension constructions.
  • the above mentioned problems are solved in accordance with the invention by the features that the curve top edge of the inner wall of the gutter rests hingedly on the curved bottom edge of the protective plate.
  • the adjustable brackets permit rapid adaptation of the position of the gutter not only to the pitch of the roof but also to the thickness of the roofboard- ing
  • connection between the brackets and the bottom tile batten prefferably adjustable.
  • each of the brackets can be passed through the bottom tile batten, while an adjusting block supported against the bottom tile batten is screwed onto the threaded end portion of the bracket which passes through the tile batten.
  • each of the brackets to pass through the bottom tile batten and for the end portion of the bracket which passes through the tile batten to be provided with toothing adapted to co-operate interlockingly with the edges of the through holes in the bottom tile batten.
  • the brackets may further consist of two portions which are adjustably connected so that the length of the brackets may be varied.
  • a gutter which can easily be replaced and which can be installed in existing structures, and which can also receive water leakages penetrating under the tiles, is also attained if the suspension means consist of brackets supporting the gutter on the lower side, while in the upstanding portion of the brackets, which extends towards the fastening on the roof boarding, a pivot point is provided, and in the case of a cast construction the gutter can be fitted and the brickwork erected later on.
  • this bottom tile batten It is not impossible for an ordinary wooden batten to be used as the bottom tile batten. Since this batten may serve other purposes apart from acting as a tile batten, for example for fastening the suspension brackets for the gutter, it is preferable for this bottom tile batten to be in the form of a sectional beam of metal or plastics material.
  • a comb of this kind may be integral with, or clipped by a snap-on section, to a sectional member disposed over the beam serving as bottom tile batten, a ridge being provided on this sectional member to support the bottom tile without the latter coming into contact with the point where the comb merges into the sectional member.
  • the ridge prevents the tiles from acting on the point where the teeth of the comb are fastened, so that fatigue fracture is avoided.
  • the bottom tile batten is in the form of a sectional member 8 which is of metal or plastics material and has the shape of the Greek letter delta with a widened top.
  • a protective plate 9 for the end edge of the roof board is fastened to this sectional member 8.
  • a bracket 10 fastened to the roof boarding is used for securing the beam 8.
  • brackets 14 for the suspension of the gutter, the top edge of the outer wall of the gutter being fastened to these brackets.
  • the brackets 14 extend through openings in the sectional beam 8.
  • the end of the bracket passing through the beam 8 is provided with a screwthread, and an adjusting block 15 resting against a member 16 joined to the sectional member 8 is screwed onto that end. It will be clear that by screwing the adjusting blocks 15 further or less far onto the brackets 14 it will be possible to vary the position of the gutter 13 and to bring the bottom of the gutter into a horizontal position.
  • the embodiment shown in figure 2 differs from that shown in figure 1 in that the brackets are provided with toothing 17 which for the purpose of fastening the brackets can co-operate with an approximately T-shaped opening in the sectional beam 8.
  • brackets 18 which support the gutter 13 at its lower side and which are hinged at 19 to a fastening part 18a of the brackets. This part is fastened on the laths 3.
  • Spacers 20 ensure in the embodiments shown in figures 1 and 3 that a certain clearance is maintained between the gutter and the wall 6, while openings 21 in the protective plate 9 ensure that leakage water will be discharged into the gutter 13.
  • the embodiments illustrated have in common the feature that the suspension means for the gutter consist of brackets which are fastened to the surface of the roof boarding in such a manner that leakage water penetrating under the tiles can flow into the gutter.
  • the gutter is easy to replace and can without difficulty be installed after the roof boarding has been placed in position.
  • the roof boarding is well protected at its end edge. Since the suspension brackets are not fastened on the wall plate 5, thicker roof boarding does not necessarily means that the gutter must be made wider in order always to be able to receive the water flowing off. Moreover, the gutter can be fastened so securely that it is possible to stand and walk in it safely.
  • a sectional member 22 to which a flexible comb 23 is fastened, is clipped over the beam 8.
  • the comb 23 serves as a bird screen and prevents birds from penetrating between the roof boarding and the tiIes. If the ridge 24 were not provided, the frequently slipping tiles would too often impose a load on the bending points of the teeth, so that the teeth would soon suffer fatigue fracture.
  • brackets could have been made of two portions which are adjustably connected to each other so that the length of the brackets could be varied.
  • the brackets could have a fixed connecting point with the beam or other place on top of the roof and the adjusting blocks 15 or toothing 17 could be cancelled.
  • one of the bracket portions has an oblong slot and the other has a hole, a connecting screw or bolt being inserted through the slot and the hole.
