Definitions
- the invention relates to a thatched roof covering element which consists of a plurality of plastic straws arranged approximately parallel and one above the other, the straws being flattened in their upper end region and connected to one another by thermal welding.
- Such a thatched roof covering element according to DE-OS 35 18 686.0 has very good properties in terms of appearance and durability, but it has been shown that it requires a relatively high outlay in production. This high effort is mainly due to the fact that stalks have to be cut to several different lengths, with one end being shaped irregularly to achieve the most natural possible appearance, while a smooth cut is advantageous for the other end at which the welding takes place . The element is still difficult and expensive to install.
- connection of a large number of the stalks arranged next to one another has been effected by thermal welding in the region of their inner ends after laying, with flattening and deformation of these ends, the ends forming a plate as a whole.
- the stalks are advantageously of different lengths and can be cut irregularly at their outer ends after installation.
- the above-mentioned plates allow a particularly simple installation since they can also have openings for screws, nails or the like introduced by the manufacturer.
- the method according to the invention for producing the roof covering elements is advantageously characterized in that a suitable thermoplastic is extruded into a straw with a thin wall thickness, this is continuously cut off with a regular length, the straws are sorted thereon and laid to form a flat element, then with one on both sides Provide separating layer and the stalks in the separating layer area are welded together with flattening and the resulting plate is cut in the middle and the side edges.
- a straw of a suitable shape can then advantageously be slit continuously lengthways after extrusion, so that the production of two straws is possible simultaneously with one extrusion head.
- the thatched roof covering element according to the invention makes it possible, for the first time, to create the appearance of a thatched roof without the same being dangerous to fire.
- a roof with the thatched roof covering elements according to the invention corresponds to a roof with roof tiles, and since the roof covering elements can still be laid easily and even by not particularly trained craftsmen, one can speak of an ideal solution to the problems at hand.
- the roof covering elements corresponding to a thatch consist of a multiplicity of plastic straws arranged approximately parallel to one another and in some cases also one above the other, the straws being flattened in their upper end region after laying and welded to one another. When welding, the stalks are flattened and their edges weld together, so that a plate is formed, which is approximately 1/4 to 1/3 of the total length of the stem.
- the stalks themselves are irregularly long and cut irregularly at their outer, non-welded ends, so that their appearance corresponds to that of naturally laid thatch.
- the stalks can have a wide variety of cross sections, they are spiral according to the illustrations, but can also have the shape of an open "6", an "S” or “U” with rolled-in side flanges.
- the roof covering elements are provided on both sides in the area of the plate 2 with a separating layer 3, which can be heat-resistant paper, but also gauze, a fleece or a fabric.
- the separating layer 3 prevents the welding jaws from sticking during welding and also increases the strength of the roof covering elements in the area of the plate 2.
- This can be provided with openings 4 after manufacture, so that it is particularly easily attached to the roof by nails, screws or the like can be.
- the elements are superimposed in a scale-like manner as shown in FIG. 1, the irregular length of the stalks 1 ensuring that the stalk ends are evenly distributed over the surface. This creates the impression of a natural thatched roof, without it being flammable and without having to accept increased insurance premiums.
- the color of the straws 1 is chosen so that it corresponds to that of natural reed.
- the roofing elements are produced by extruding a suitable thermoplastic, e.g. B. PVC, to a straw with a thin wall, which is cut at intervals. The resulting stalks are then automatically lined up next to each other and in part so that the ends lie on an irregular line. After hanging up or underlaying of the separating layers 3, the later upper ends are then welded and flattened, so that the edges join together and a uniform plate is formed.
- a suitable thermoplastic e.g. B. PVC
- the plate After welding, the plate is divided in the middle and the side edges of the plate 2 formed in this way are trimmed, so that regular contours are present in the attachment area to facilitate attachment.
- a double straw according to FIG. 2 can also be produced, which is slit lengthways after extrusion.
Abstract
Description
Die Erfindung betrifft ein Reet entsprechendes Dacheindeckungselement, das aus einer Vielzahl von etwa parallel neben- und übereinander angeordneten Kunststoffhalmen besteht, wobei die Halme in ihrem oberen Endbereich abgeflacht und miteinander durch thermische Verschweißung verbunden sind.The invention relates to a thatched roof covering element which consists of a plurality of plastic straws arranged approximately parallel and one above the other, the straws being flattened in their upper end region and connected to one another by thermal welding.
Ein derartiges Reet-Dacheindeckungselement nach der DE-OS 35 18 686.0 weist zwar in Bezug auf Aussehen und Haltbarkeit sehr gute Eigenschaften auf, es hat sich jedoch gezeigt, daß es bei der Fertigung einen relativ hohen Aufwand erfordert. Dieser hohe Aufwand beruht vor allem darauf, daß Halme auf mehrere unterschiedliche Längen geschnitten werden müssen, wobei das eine Ende zur Erzielung eines möglichst natürlichen Aussehens unregelmäßig geformt sein soll, während für das andere Ende, an welchem die Verschweißung erfolgt, ein glatter Schnitt vorteilhaft ist. Das Element ist weiterhin auch nur schwierig und aufwendig zu verlegen.Such a thatched roof covering element according to DE-OS 35 18 686.0 has very good properties in terms of appearance and durability, but it has been shown that it requires a relatively high outlay in production. This high effort is mainly due to the fact that stalks have to be cut to several different lengths, with one end being shaped irregularly to achieve the most natural possible appearance, while a smooth cut is advantageous for the other end at which the welding takes place . The element is still difficult and expensive to install.
Es stellt sich daher die Aufgabe, das Reet-Dacheindeckungselement der eingangs genannten Art so zu verbessern, daß es ohne Einbuße seiner bereits vorhandenen vorteilhaften Eigenschaften mit deutlich geringerem Aufwand fertigbar und verlegbar ist.It is therefore the task of improving the thatched roof covering element of the type mentioned at the outset in such a way that it can be manufactured and laid without sacrificing its advantageous properties which are already present, with significantly less effort.
Diese Aufgabe wird bei dem eingangs genannten Dacheindeckungselement dadurch gelöst, daß die Verbindung einer Vielzahl der nebeneinander angeordneten Halme durch thermische Verschweißung im Bereich ihrer nach dem Verlegen inneren Enden unter Abflachung und Verformung dieser Enden erfolgt ist, wobei die Enden in ihrer Gesamtheit eine Platte bilden.This object is achieved in the roofing element mentioned at the outset in that the connection of a large number of the stalks arranged next to one another has been effected by thermal welding in the region of their inner ends after laying, with flattening and deformation of these ends, the ends forming a plate as a whole.
Um den Eindruck eines Natur-Reetdachelementes entstehen zu lassen, sind vorteilhaft die Halme unterschiedlich lang und können an ihren nach dem Verlegen äußeren Enden unregelmäßig abgeschnitten sein.In order to give the impression of a natural thatched roof element, the stalks are advantageously of different lengths and can be cut irregularly at their outer ends after installation.
Die vorstehend genannten Platten ermöglichen dabei ein besonders einfaches Verlegen, da in ihnen auch vom Hersteller eingebrachte Öffnungen für Schrauben, Nägel oder dergleichen vorhanden sein können.The above-mentioned plates allow a particularly simple installation since they can also have openings for screws, nails or the like introduced by the manufacturer.
Weitere vorteilhafte Ausgestaltungen des Erfindungsgegenstandes sind in den Patentansprüchen 3 bis 10 und 13 niedergelegt.Further advantageous embodiments of the subject matter of the invention are set out in
Das erfindungsgemäße Verfahren zur Herstellung der Dacheindeckungselemente kennzeichnet sich vorteilhaft dadurch, daß ein geeigneter thermoplastischer Kunststoff zu einem Halm mit dünner Wandstärke extrudiert wird, dieser laufend mit regelmäßiger Länge abgeschnitten wird, die Halme darauf sortiert und zu einem flachen Element verlegt werden, dann beidseitig mit einer Trennschicht versehen und die Halme im Trennschichtbereich unter Abplattung miteinander verschweißt werden und die so entstandene Platte in ihrer Mitte und den Seitenkanten geschnitten wird. Zur Erhöhung der Fertigungsgeschwindigkeit dann dabei vorteilhaft ein Halm geeigneter Form nach dem Extrudieren kontinuierlich längs aufgeschlitzt werden, so daß die Erzeugung von zwei Halmen gleichzeitig mit einem Extrusionskopf möglich ist.The method according to the invention for producing the roof covering elements is advantageously characterized in that a suitable thermoplastic is extruded into a straw with a thin wall thickness, this is continuously cut off with a regular length, the straws are sorted thereon and laid to form a flat element, then with one on both sides Provide separating layer and the stalks in the separating layer area are welded together with flattening and the resulting plate is cut in the middle and the side edges. To increase the production speed, a straw of a suitable shape can then advantageously be slit continuously lengthways after extrusion, so that the production of two straws is possible simultaneously with one extrusion head.
Das erfindungsgemäße Reet-Dacheindeckungselement ermöglicht es erstmalig, die Optik eines Reetdaches entstehen zu lassen, ohne daß die Feuergefährlichkeit desselben gegeben ist. Versicherungstechnisch entspricht ein Dach mit den erfindungsgemäßen Reet-Dacheindeckungselementen einem Dach mit Dachziegel und da weiterhin das Verlegen der Dacheindeckungselemente leicht und auch von nicht besonders ausgebildeten Handwerkern möglich ist, kann von einer idealen Lösung der anstehenden Probleme gesprochen werden.The thatched roof covering element according to the invention makes it possible, for the first time, to create the appearance of a thatched roof without the same being dangerous to fire. In terms of insurance technology, a roof with the thatched roof covering elements according to the invention corresponds to a roof with roof tiles, and since the roof covering elements can still be laid easily and even by not particularly trained craftsmen, one can speak of an ideal solution to the problems at hand.
Im folgenden wird ein Ausführungsbeispiel der Erfindung anhand von Zeichnungen näher beschrieben. Es zeigen:
Figur 1 perspektivisch zwei übereinander angeordnete Dacheindeckungselemente gemäß der Erfindung,Figur 2 einen Doppelhalm vor dem Aufschlitzen undFigur 3 Dacheindeckungselemente im Traufen- und Eckbereich.
- FIG. 1 is a perspective view of two roof covering elements arranged one above the other according to the invention,
- Figure 2 shows a double straw before slitting and
- Figure 3 roofing elements in the eaves and corner area.
Die einem Reet entsprechenden Dacheindeckungselemente bestehen aus einer Vielzahl von etwa parallel nebeneinander und zum Teil auch übereinander angeordneten Kunststoffhalmen, wobei die Halme in ihrem nach dem Verlegen oberen Endbereich abgeflacht und miteinander verschweißt sind. Bei dem Verschweißen werden die Halme plattgedrückt und ihre Ränder verschweißen miteinander, so daß eine Platte entsteht, die ungefähr 1/4 bis 1/3 der Gesamthalmlänge ausmacht.The roof covering elements corresponding to a thatch consist of a multiplicity of plastic straws arranged approximately parallel to one another and in some cases also one above the other, the straws being flattened in their upper end region after laying and welded to one another. When welding, the stalks are flattened and their edges weld together, so that a plate is formed, which is approximately 1/4 to 1/3 of the total length of the stem.
Die Halme selbst sind unregelmäßig lang und an ihren äußeren, nicht verschweißten Enden unregelmäßig abgeschnitten, so daß sie in ihrem Aussehen natürlich verlegtem Reet entsprechen.The stalks themselves are irregularly long and cut irregularly at their outer, non-welded ends, so that their appearance corresponds to that of naturally laid thatch.
Die Halme können verschiedenste Querschnitte aufweisen, sie sind gemäß den Abbildungen spiralig, können aber auch die Form einer offenen "6", eines "S" oder "U" mit eingerollten Seitenflanschen aufweisen.The stalks can have a wide variety of cross sections, they are spiral according to the illustrations, but can also have the shape of an open "6", an "S" or "U" with rolled-in side flanges.
Die Dacheindeckungselemente sind beidseitig im Bereich der Platte 2 mit einer Trennschicht 3 versehen, die warmfestes Papier, aber auch Gaze, ein Vlies oder ein Gewebe sein kann.The roof covering elements are provided on both sides in the area of the
Die Trennschicht 3 verhindert beim Schweißen ein Ankleben der Schweißbacken und erhöht zudem noch die Festigkeit der Dacheindeckungselemente im Bereich der Platte 2. Diese kann nach der Herstellung mit Öffnungen 4 versehen werden, so daß sie besonders leicht durch Nägel, Schrauben oder dergleichen auf dem Dach befestigt werden können. Die Elemente werden dabei wie in Figur 1 gezeigt schuppenförmig übereinandergelegt, wobei durch die unregelmäßige Länge der Halme 1 sichergestellt wird, daß die Halmenden gleichmäßig über die Fläche verteilt sind. Es entsteht also der Eindruck eines Natur-Reetdaches, ohne daß es dessen Feuergefährlichkeit besitzt und ohne daß erhöhte Versicherungsprämien in Kauf genommen werden müßten.The separating
Die Farbe der Halme 1 wird dabei so gewählt, daß sie der von Natur-Reet entspricht.The color of the
Die Herstellung der Dacheindeckungselemente erfolgt durch Extrudieren eines geeigneten thermoplastischen Kunststoffes, z. B. PVC, zu einem Halm mit dünner Wandstärke, wobei dieser in Abständen geschnitten wird. Die so entstandenen Halme werden dann automatisch nebeneinander und zum Teil aufeinander so aufgreiht, daß die Enden auf einer unregelmäßigen Linie liegen. Nach Auflegen bzw. Unterlegen der Trennschichten 3 werden dann die später oberen Enden verschweißt und plattgedrückt, so daß sich die Ränder miteinander verbinden und eine einheitliche Platte gebildet wird.The roofing elements are produced by extruding a suitable thermoplastic, e.g. B. PVC, to a straw with a thin wall, which is cut at intervals. The resulting stalks are then automatically lined up next to each other and in part so that the ends lie on an irregular line. After hanging up or underlaying of the separating
Nach dem Verschweißen wird die Platte mittig geteilt und die Seitenkanten der so entstandenen Platte 2 beschnitten, so daß zur Erleichterung der Anbringung im Anbringungsbereich regelmäßige Konturen vorliegen.After welding, the plate is divided in the middle and the side edges of the
Zur Erhohung der Extrusionsgeschwindigkeit kann weiterhin ein Doppelhalm gemäß Figur 2 erzeugt werden, der nach dem Extrudieren längs aufgeschlitzt wird.In order to increase the extrusion speed, a double straw according to FIG. 2 can also be produced, which is slit lengthways after extrusion.
