Definitions

  • the present invention relates to roof tiles and more particularly to those tiles that are volumetric efficient and provide thermic insulation simultaneously.
  • roof tiles have been used in the past. All of them have the common purpose of shielding a dwelling from the elements. How this is accomplished in an efficient manner is what the present invention is all about so that the manufacturing cost, transportation and inventory logistics of the tile are optimized. Also, it is important to have a roof tile that is sturdy enough to withstand its handling and, when installed, the weight of workers on a roof.
  • Figure 1 represents a bottom view of the roof tile.
  • Figure 2 shows a top view of the roof tile.
  • Figure 3 illustrates an elevation view of the side of the roof tile.
  • Figure 4 is an elevation view of the right side of the roof tile.
  • Figure 5 shows a rear view of the tile.
  • Figure 6 is a side view of two tiles longitudinally interlocked.
  • Figure 7 illustrates the front view of a roof tile showing two laterally adjacent tiles, interlocked.
  • Fig. 1 where the present invention is generally referred to with numeral 10, it can be observed that its underside has several cavities 20 that resemble a honeycomb.
  • Frame 22 is longitudinally and laterally connected with ribs 24 and 26, respectively.
  • the bottom most (closer to reader from Fig. 1) underside surfaces of frame 22, longitudinal rib 24 and lateral rib 26, are leveled so that the entire tile rests on these surfaces.
  • tile 10 has a top member 11 of substantially rectangular shape and positioned above frame 22.
  • Left side wall 30, right side wall 40, rear end wall 50 and front end wall 60 define top member 11.
  • Top member 11 is substantially flat. All of these side walls are slanted towards the center of the tile when seen from the bottom as shown in Fig. 1. The slant is necessary to facilitate taking the tile out of the mold and it also saves material as space 99 shows in Fig. 7.
  • Surface 65 is recessed upwardly from the level of the underside surfaces of frame 22 and ribs 24 and 26 defining, with front frame side wall 21, interlocking cavity 68 as shown in Figs. 1; 3 and 4.
  • Interlocking cavity 68 is designed to house a portion of the tile (longitudinally contiguous) rear and the distance from side wall 21 to front end wall will determine how much of the rear portion of tile 10 is housed within cavity 68. Since the left and right side walls 23 and 25 of frame 22 have a wedge shape, they terminate, at the front end portion, inside cavity 68. In the preferred embodiment, rear wall 50 of one tile comes in contact with frame side wall 21 of the contiguous tile above it.
  • Bottom or underside lateral rib 80 is designed to interlock a contiguous tile to the right by fitting inside upper lateral groove 85, as shown in Figs. 5 and 7.
  • Upper lateral rib 90 interlocks with bottom lateral grove 95, as shown in Figs. 5 and 7.
  • There is a small clearance or space 99 which allows for variations of dimensions in the production line, thermal expansion and it also saves raw material.
  • Rib and groove 80; and 95 have been incorporated on the left side of tile 10 and rib 90 and groove 85 have been incorporated in the right side of tile 10, in the preferred embodiment, but their positions may also be reversed.
  • a clearance or space 98 may be formed, as shown in Fig. 6, due to the slant mentioned above that is required in order to facilitate taking the tile out of the mold.

Abstract

Une tuile de toit (10) de forme rectangulaire et aplatie peut être disposée de façon à se bloquer mutuellement avec des tuiles longitudinalement et latéralement adjacentes. Ladite tuile comprend un cadre (22) monté sur la face inférieure d'un élément supérieur plat (11). Le cadre (22) étant de dimensions plus petites que l'élément supérieur (11) et étant disposé en direction de la partie arrière de l'élément supérieur (11), il fournit une cavité de blocage mutuel (68) en direction de la section frontale qui abrite l'arrière d'une tuile longitudinalement adjacente. Des rainures (85) et des nervures (80) latérales coopèrent afin de permettre un blocage mutuel latéral.
