Definitions

  • the invention relates to a fastening of a roof waterproofing membrane or the like, consisting of a support element and of a fastening means penetrating this and the underlying sealing membrane, the upper end of which is pivotally and non-positively connected to the supporting element and the lower end of which is anchored in the substructure.
  • Sealing membranes in particular sealing membranes made of polyisobutene, polyvinyl chloride, bitumen, polymer bitumen or the like, laid on a flat roof, are to be fixed on the substrate by means of mechanical fastenings in order to prevent lifting.
  • mechanical fastenings In the central area of a building roof, at least three, in the corner area up to more than ten and in the edge area an intermediate number of fastenings per square meter roof area must be provided to prevent this being lifted off by wind.
  • the fastenings are usually arranged in the edge region of the roof waterproofing membrane and covered in a sealing manner by the respectively adjacent roof waterproofing membrane, a seam overlap of 10 cm to 12 cm being provided. Seam overlaps represent a significant cost factor, especially for plastic roof waterproofing membranes.
  • fastenings are to be distributed approximately evenly over the roof area within an area, narrower roof sealing sheets are laid in areas that require a large number of fastenings, i.e. in the corner and edge area, than in the central area of a roof.
  • the fasteners are therefore arranged in rows running parallel to the edges of a roof waterproofing membrane.
  • the spacing of the fastenings can be adjusted within a range of the number of fastenings required per square meter.
  • a distance of more than 50 cm as well as a distance of less than 15 cm should be avoided.
  • the dependency on different web widths also means a relatively complicated design in practice.
  • Load transfer for roof sealing sheeting mechanically fastened in the covered edge area is structurally unfavorable, since the load transfer is asymmetrical and therefore considerable safety surcharges are required.
  • a fastening of a roof sealing membrane is known from US Pat. No. 4,860,513, which contains a disc-shaped support element resting thereon with a centrally arranged passage opening.
  • the wall of the passage opening is hemispherical towards the top in order to receive a hemispherical head on its underside of a screw serving as a fastening means, which penetrates the sealing membrane.
  • the head of the screw is provided with a hexagon socket on its top. Due to the hemispherical seat of the screw head in the support element, the screw can be pivoted with respect to the plane of the support element. However, the top of the head of the screw is exposed to the weather, so that if the screw connection is loosened, water can penetrate under the sealing membrane.
  • the head of a screw serving as a fastening means is positively received by a conical section in the cavity of the shaft.
  • An approximately umbrella-shaped cover element is screwed into an internal thread at the upper end of the shaft with a pin on the underside, which covers the support element and rests with its outer edge on the roof sealing membrane.
  • the screw is guided in the hollow of the shaft in the direction of the central axis of the support element.
  • the object of the present invention is to design a fastener of the type specified at the outset in such a way that a reliable sealing of the fastening point is ensured even with fasteners which are not exactly perpendicular to the roof surface, and that storage, transport and assembly of the parts of the fastening device are particularly important are simple.
  • the support element is arranged in a height-adjustable manner in the interior of a hood-shaped cover element lying on the sealing membrane and closed off on the underside by a base plate, its outer circumference being in engagement with the inner wall of the cover element in such a way that it is at least in its upper one or lower end position is rotatably connected to the cover element, and that the pivotable and non-positive connection of the upper end extending through the base plate
  • Fastening means with the support element is formed by an articulated body which is pivotably and non-rotatably mounted in the upper side thereof and which is connected in a rotationally fixed manner to the upper end of the fastening means.
  • the support element connected to the cover element including the joint body can be supplied as a preassembled component, so that it is only to be connected to the fastening means on the construction site.
  • the lower opening of the hood-shaped cover element is closed off by a base plate through which the fastening means penetrate, in order to prevent the sealant from penetrating into the interior of the cover element.
  • the base plate can be glued to the cover element, welded or by mechanical fasteners, such as. B. bayonet lock parts, be firmly connected.
  • the assembled support element connected to the fastening means via the joint body lies flat on the sealing membrane even when the fastening means is installed obliquely and can deviate slightly under one-sided loading.
  • the fastening according to the invention is particularly suitable for fastening roof waterproofing membranes, but also for other applications, for example for fastening films in a tunnel.
  • a secure connection of the joint body with the fastening means is achieved if a receptacle with force transmission elements is provided in the joint body, which can be brought into engagement with correspondingly designed force transmission elements at the end of the fastening means protruding from the upper side of the sealing membrane, and if the penetration depth of the upper fastener end is provided in the joint body in the axial direction.
  • the force transmission elements can be designed as detents, as bayonet-type locking parts or preferably as screw threads.
  • the limitation in the axial direction can, for example, by designing the receptacle as Blind hole or through a projection on the fastener.
  • the fastening means to be anchored therein with its lower end can be designed as a nail, a screw or the like, with screw threads usually being designed as right-hand threads.
  • the fastener can be installed using a setting machine or manually.
  • the pivotability and the securing against rotation of the joint body in the support element are advantageously achieved in that the underside of the joint body is dome-shaped and that it has projections on its outer circumference which engage in corresponding recesses in a ball socket-shaped depression in the top of the support element.
  • the projections on the outer edge of the joint body can be designed, for example, in the manner of an external hexagon or as springs, the recesses in the support element being designed to be complementary thereto, for example as an internal hexagon or as grooves.
  • a container filled with a sealant is provided in the interior of the cover element, for example a foil cushion, which opens when the support element approaches its upper or lower end position and releases the sealant.
  • the lower edge of the cover element resting on the sealing membrane can additionally be coated with a sealing agent which brings about a weather-resistant seal, in particular a weld, between the cover element and the sealing membrane.
  • a sealing agent which brings about a weather-resistant seal, in particular a weld, between the cover element and the sealing membrane.
  • a commercially available paste suitable for the respective material of the waterproofing membrane is recommended as a sealant.
  • connection elements are provided on the outer jacket of the support element, which are in engagement with correspondingly designed connection elements on the inner jacket of the cover element.
  • Screw threads can be provided as connecting elements on the outer jacket of the support element and on the inner jacket of the cover element.
  • the container for the sealant is arranged above the joint body in the center of the cover element, and transport channels for the sealant leading to the lower edge thereof are provided in the wall of the cover element. Only an opening for the passage of the fastening means is provided in the base plate.
  • the preferably toroidal container for the sealant is arranged between the support element and the base plate, and at least one passage for the sealant is provided in this. Through this passage, the sealant can reach the lower edge of the cover element and is pressed there when the cover element is screwed on.
  • a non-rotatable connection can be formed between the outer circumference of the support element and the inner wall of the cover element, which consists of ribs engaging in grooves.
  • the preferably toroidal container for the sealant is arranged between the support element and the base plate, and at least one passage for the sealant is provided in this.
  • the release of the sealant from the container when the support element approaches the base plate or the joint body to the cover element is facilitated if at least one pointed projection is provided on one of the surfaces adjacent to the container for the sealant.
  • pointed mandrels or knife edges can be provided which pierce or cut through the casing of the container containing the sealant.
  • a device for torque transmission can be arranged on the outside of the cover element, such as. B. a arranged on the top as a square pin or wells.
  • the outside of the side walls of the cover element can also be designed, for example, as a hexagon.
  • a particularly tight connection is achieved when the lower edge of the cover element resting on the sealing sheet is coated with a layer of the material used for the sealing sheet, e.g. Polyisobutene, polyvinyl chloride, bitumen or the like is provided. It goes without saying that in this case, depending on the material of the sealing membrane, differently coated cover elements are to be used.
  • a layer of the material used for the sealing sheet e.g. Polyisobutene, polyvinyl chloride, bitumen or the like is provided.
  • impact-resistant plastic such as. B. hard polyvinyl chloride recommended.
  • the coating of the lower edge can be dispensed with in the case of a cover element which is provided for fastening a sealing membrane made of polyvinyl chloride.
  • the joint body can also consist of the same material. If a high contact pressure is to be transmitted to the cover element, a design made of metal is preferred.
