Description

Die Erfindung betrifft eine Dachschindel aus einem vorzugsweise metallischen Werkstoff gemäß dem Oberbegriff von Patentanspruch 1.The invention relates to a roof shingle made of a preferably metallic material according to the preamble of claim 1.

Aus der US-A-3 667 184 ist eine Dachschindel bekannt, die aus einem Grundkörper besteht, und die in ihrem oberen Bereich Bohrungen aufweist, im unteren Bereich eine U-förmige Umbördelung hat und seitlich eine Vertiefung aufweist. Durch die verschiedenen Falze und Umbördelungen soll das Eindringen von Wasser möglichst verhindert werden. Dies gelingt bei der bekannten Lösung jedoch nicht vollständig, da durch die Kapillarwirkung Wasser bis zu den Befestigungsbohrungen gelangen kann und letztlich in das Dach eindringen kann.From US-A-3 667 184 a roof shingle is known which consists of a base body, and which has holes in its upper area, a U-shaped in the lower area Has flange and has a recess on the side. Due to the different folds and Flaring should prevent water from entering. This succeeds in the known solution, however, not completely, because water through the capillary action can get to the mounting holes and ultimately penetrate the roof.

Aus der AT-B-26 343 ist weiters ein Dachfalzziegel bekannt, der in seinem oberen Bereich Befestigungsbohrungen aufweist. Auf einer Seite ist ein abwärts gerichteter Falz vorgesehen, an dem der Ziegel mittels einer Klammer am Dachstuhl befestigt werden kann. Eine solche Befestigung ist aufwendig und wenig praktikabel.From AT-B-26 343 a roof interlocking tile is also known, which in its upper area Has mounting holes. A downward fold is provided on one side, to which the tile can be attached to the roof structure using a clip. Such Attachment is complex and not very practical.

Weiters ist aus der DE-C-809 591 eine Dachabdeckung bekannt, die aus gefalzten Platten besteht. Diese Platten werden mittels Lappen an den Dachlatten befestigt. Auch hier ist die Verlegung der Dachabdeckung mit großem Aufwand verbunden. Weiters ist die Form der Platten systembedingt nur rechteckig möglich. so daß etwa die beliebte Deckung mit Platten im Rundschnitt nicht möglich ist.Furthermore, a roof covering is known from DE-C-809 591, which consists of folded plates. These panels are attached to the roof battens using rags. Here too is the laying the roof cover connected with great effort. Furthermore, the shape of the plates due to the system only rectangular. so that the popular covering with plates in Round cut is not possible.

Ferner zeigt die DE-A-17 08 969 eine Metallschindel-Konstruktion, die es ermöglicht, ein Holzschindeldach zu simulieren. Bei diesen aufwendig gestalteten Schindeln sind nur an der Oberseite Befestigungsbohrungen vorgesehen, und es ist notwendig eine Abdichtung mit Mastix vorzusehen, um ein Eindringen von Wasser zu verhindern.Furthermore, DE-A-17 08 969 shows a metal shingle construction which makes it possible Simulate wooden shingle roof. These elaborately designed shingles are only on the Mounting holes are provided on the top, and a seal is necessary with Mastic should be provided to prevent water from entering.

Weiters ist aus der US-A-1,927,586 eine Dachschindel bekannt, die einen völlig flachen Körper mit einer U-förmigen Lasche aufweist. Für die Befestigung sind weiters U-förmige Laschen vorgesehen. Ein Eindringen von Wasser durch Kapillarwirkung kann bei dieser Form der Deckung nicht verhindert werden. Außerdem ist dieses Befestigungssystem relativ aufwendig.Furthermore, a roof shingle is known from US-A-1,927,586, which has a completely flat body with a U-shaped tab. U-shaped tabs are also used for fastening intended. Penetration of water by capillary action can occur with this form coverage cannot be prevented. In addition, this fastening system is relatively complex.

Auch bei dem in der AT-B-106 354 beschriebenen Dachziegel kann ein Eindringen von Wasser nicht vermieden werden. Das gleiche gilt für die Ausführungen der AT-B-380 716 und der DE-C-445 123.Water can also penetrate the roof tiles described in AT-B-106 354 cannot be avoided. The same applies to the versions of the AT-B-380 716 and the DE-C-445 123.

Aufgabe der Erfindung ist es, diese Nachteile zu vermeiden und eine Dachschindel zu schaffen, die eine sichere Befestigung bei geringem Arbeitsaufwand ermöglicht, und die das Eindringen von Wasser zuverlässig verhindert. Insbesonders soll das Eindringen von Kapillarwasser unterbunden werden.The object of the invention is to avoid these disadvantages and to create a roof shingle, which enables secure attachment with little effort, and which penetrate reliably prevented by water. In particular, the ingress of capillary water be prevented.

Erfindungsgemäß werden diese Aufgaben durch eine Dachschindel gelöst, die die Merkmale des kennzeichnenden Teils von Patentanspruch 1 aufweist. Bei der erfindungsbgemäßen Lösung wird das flächige Aufliegen einer Schindel auf der im Verband unmittelbar darunter angeordneten Schindel verhindert. Dadurch kann Wasser durch Kapillarwirkung nur eine kurze Strecke, nämlich entlang des Schenkels des U aufsteigen. Ein weiteres Eindringen ist jedoch nicht möglich. Weiters wird durch die erfindungsgemäße Ausbildung auch ein Eindringen von Wasser entlang der Seitenkanten und durch die dort vorgesehenen Bohrungen wirksam verhindert. Besonders vorteilhaft ist die Möglichkeit, die erfindungsgemäßen Schindeln nicht nur im oberen Bereich, sondern auch seitlich zu befestigen. Die Befestigung ist dabei verdeckt. und es sind keinerlei Klammern oder dgl. erforderlich. Auf diese Weise wird neben einem sicheren Halt auch ein ansprechendes Erscheinungsbild des gedeckten Daches erreicht.According to the invention, these tasks are solved by a roof shingle that has the features of the characterizing part of claim 1. In the solution according to the invention is the flat resting of a shingle on the one immediately below in the bandage Prevents shingle. This means that water can only last a short time due to capillary action Route, namely ascend along the leg of the U. Another intrusion is however not possible. Furthermore, the training according to the invention also prevents penetration of Water effectively prevented along the side edges and through the holes provided there. The possibility of not only shingles according to the invention is particularly advantageous in the upper area, but also to be attached laterally. The attachment is concealed. and no parentheses or the like are required. This way, next to one secure hold also achieved an attractive appearance of the covered roof.

Besonders günstig ist es, wenn die seitliche Kante, die dem Falz gegenüberliegt, umgebördelt ist. Durch diese nach unten vorstehende Kante wird das Eindringen von Wasser zusätzlich erschwert.It is particularly favorable if the side edge, which lies opposite the fold, is flanged is. This edge, which projects downwards, makes it even more difficult for water to penetrate.

Ein besonders vorteilhaftes Erscheinungsbild der erfindungsgemäßen Dachschindel ergibt sich, wenn die seitliche Kante, die dem Falz gegenüberliegt, umgebördelt ist.A particularly advantageous appearance of the roof shingle according to the invention results when the side edge opposite the fold is flanged.

In einer besonders bevorzugten Ausführungsvariante der Erfindung ist dabei vorgesehen, daß der Kreisabschnitt einen Innenwinkel zwischen 60° und 120°, vorzugsweise zwischen 80° und 105°, aufweist.In a particularly preferred embodiment of the invention, it is provided that the circular section has an internal angle between 60 ° and 120 °, preferably between 80 ° and 105 °.
