Definitions
- the present invention relates to a system for covering different types of surfaces, especially for building use, consisting of modular components made from already commercially available metal sheets which, when appropriately shaped and bent, can be joined together with an interlocking action made possible by special edging of their sides.
- the system makes it possible to create coverings for roofs, and also for inner and/or outer walls of buildings, and the resulting covering furthermore offers considerable advantages in terms of execution, laying and appearance.
- the most widely used and most familiar covering systems and/or materials consist, in the case of roofs, of curved and/or flat roofing tiles in burnt clay and/or other materials, or sometimes wooden components or troughed or corrugated metal sheeting, etc.
- Such systems for example those using curved roofing tiles, are certainly applicable without special precautions from the point of view of fixing, but are very heavy and therefore require strong supporting structures and a particular way of preparing their supporting surface; beside which, if, on reaching the ridge line, the curved or flat tiles are found to be slightly over-shooting or under-shooting this line, the tiler is obliged to cut these components - involving a loss of time and the risk of breaking them - in order to finish the slope where required, in the first case by cutting off part of the tile, and in the second adding a part, and then correctly laying the so-called ridge component.
- metal sheeting of various types such as corrugated, troughed, etc.
- their benefits are well known, such as lightness and overall strength and reliability, but there are also, as is well known, problems relating to installation and the possible durability of this system, which is of debatable aesthetic appeal and can also be used to install monochrome sheeting.
- waterproofing sheets be laid to prevent the ingress of water into the loft space; all of which is clearly due to the fact that the upper and lower vertices of the individual covering components (lozenges) are open.
- the components used in this last-named covering system are suitable only for certain applications, in particular for covering steeply pitched surfaces, and require two recesses, one on each of the bent upper edges, for attachment of the fixing straps - which complicates manufacture -, and the consequent use of no less than two fixing straps for each component - which doubles the cost of production of these components and hence also their cost of application.
- the making of the individual components, and still more the laying thereof, is complicated and can sometimes actually be very difficult and so is always expensive.
- the components used in that system are obviously monochrome and of a well-defined colour, given that the intention was essentially to reproduce the components of one particular architectural system that has long been in widespread use, so they cannot be used to give systems with different colours or at any rate different chromatic combinations, although these could be very useful because they would make it possible to develop a range of architectural systems with highly attractive resulting aesthetic effects.
- the covering system of the present invention consists fundamentally of interlocking components made from ordinary commercially available sheet metal.
- the covering of the roof slope (F) illustrated in this figure consists fundamentally of quadrilateral components 1 which interconnect by means of suitable upper bent edges 11, located at the upper end and bent towards that surface of the component 1 which, when laid, will be outermost, and of additional lower bent edges 12 bent towards the opposite surface of the same component.
- a square metal sheet 1a in which two square portions 13 of limited but adequate dimensions are removed from opposite corners.
- two initial bends are made towards opposite surfaces of the fundamental component 1a.
- the other two opposing edges will then be bent along the broken lines 16, also in mutually opposite directions, to give additional bent edges 11 and 12.
- This will have given the final component illustrated in Fig. 5, with respective sections on I-I and II-II illustrated for greater clarity in Figs. 5a and 5b respectively.
- This system of progressive bends makes it possible to obtain structural continuity at the abovementioned point of convergence and avoid any break which may create, as in other systems, openings or even cracks and the associated resulting problems mentioned earlier.
- Figs. 10 to 13 illustrate clearly the succession of operations involved in forming a rhomboidal component 1 in which the vertices of its upper 11 and lower 12 bent edges form acute angles of 60 degrees, i.e. of the type mentioned earlier, in which the long diagonal runs vertically when the tile is laid. It should be pointed out, incidentally, that the angle of 60 degrees is clearly the smallest possible of those obtainable with a limited number of bends because smaller angles would require more complex operations for the possible removal of the projecting part remaining after the first series of bends illustrated in the aforementioned Figs. 10, 11, 12 and 13.
- the fundamental component 1 is prepared on this occasion from a metal sheet cut to a rhombus which for the sake of clarity is referred to here as 1b.
- 1b a metal sheet cut to a rhombus which for the sake of clarity.
- two portions will be removed of limited size 13', and also of rhomboidal form, whose sides, as in the case of the earlier square component, will coincide with the bend lines 15' and 16', which effectively define the width of the upper 11 and lower 12 bent edges.
- the first bend is of two opposite sides along their respective bend lines 15', in such a way, that each is parallel to an opposite surface of the component 1b.
- the upper and lower ends of the resulting bent edges, 11 at the top and 12 at the bottom, will then have triangular parts 11a and 12a, respectively, projecting from the still unbent sides.
- the remaining two sides are bent along their respective bend lines 16' so that said projecting parts 11a and 12a have a triangular part 11b and 12b projecting from the bent edges 11 and 12, respectively, which together form the projecting rhomboidal parts 11c and 12c that are finally, as shown in Fig. 13, once again bent in along their respective bend lines 15 to form an only slightly thickened part, which in no way hampers the use of the component, at the upper and lower vertices of the resulting rhomboidal component 1b.
- the ridge component 6 lastly, is perfectly simple and its configuration obvious, that is to say evident and clear both from Fig. 1 and in still greater detail in Fig. 2.
- This ridge component 6 consists basically of a simple rectangular piece of sheet metal whose ends are bent in opposite directions to form corresponding edges 61 and 62 of limited extent (similar to the bent edges of the other components 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5), the whole component then being bent along its longitudinal axis of symmetry to produce a component with a general V profile.
- the two longitudinal sides of this ridge component 6 can also be bent to form two bent edges in which corresponding bent edges of covering components along the upper edge of the covered slope F can be hooked.
- the various components of the composition of the present invention can be fixed to the supporting structure by means of strips of sheet metal 7 bent at one end to engage in a cavity in a corresponding edge of its particular component (1, 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6): they are fixed in place using suitable fixing means such as screws, nails, expansion plugs, etc., which are inserted through holes 71 and keep the covering component firmly in place on the supporting surface.
- each covering component 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5 is fixed to the supporting structure by a single strip 7 and requires no recess to be made to accommodate said strip on the inner flanks of the upper bent edges, whereas by contrast in the similar system discussed earlier, fixing requires no less than two strips engaging in cavities formed on the inner flanks of the upper bent edges.
- This fixing system can be used on vertically arranged framework components, so that actual vertical channels are formed in the area beneath the final covering structure to enable a free circulation of air from the lower to the upper regions as required by the relevant standards.
- component 1 which in the example here referred to is square, may advantageously have a great many other similar shapes, such as rhomboidal, etc.
- This first possible configuration can obviously be the basis for other triangular configurations which in practice will be formed by dividing the preceding square or rhomboidal components along their diagonals so as to give corresponding triangular components which will obviously have to be provided along their resulting sides with opposing projecting edges in order to enable interlocking and, as it were, the reconstructing of the initial square or rhomboidal component.

Abstract
Description
- Fig. 1 shows a partially exploded perspective view of the present covering system applied to a roof slope, the edges of the slope being indicated in thin lines;
- Fig. 2 shows for greater clarity, in an enlarged perspective view equivalent to Fig. 1, the fundamental components employed;
- Figs. 3, 4 and 5 show the series of steps involved in bending a main covering component having a first possible square shape, from the beginning to the end of its formation;
- Fig. 4a is a side view after an initial operation of bending the edges of the component shown in Fig. 3;
- Figs. 5a and 5b are sections taken on I-I and II-II as marked in Fig. 5;
- Figs. 6, 7 and 8 show still more clearly with perspective views the particular configuration developed during the series of bends illustrated in the previous Figures 3, 4 and 5, at the corner where two adjacent edges, bent towards the same side, converge;
- Fig. 9 is a perspective view of the particular
configuration of the corner formed in the various bending
steps illustrated in the previous Figs. 6, 7 and 8; and
Figs. 10, 11, 12 and 13 illustrate as in the earlier Figs. 3, 4 and 5 the series of steps involved in bending a component having a possible second rhomboidal form.
- the individual components (1, 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6) can be made with known devices that are in ordinary use, very simply and quickly,
- the sheet metal that can be used may be of ordinary type, such as so-called galvanized metal sheet, though this is monochrome, or, much more advantageously, ready painted in various colours or easily paintable after laying, which of course means that other special aesthetic effects based on colour, as well as on the possible combination of many components in different colours, can be obtained,
- the covering structure obtainable with the present system will be found to be very light, exceptionally sturdy and stable, and in particular a complete and perfect rainproof seal, a fact which even enables the coverings to be laid on surfaces with very low pitch, and
- since the individual covering components are fixed by means of a single simple strap, the underlying framework can have its battens running vertically, enabling the direct formation of ventilation ways which in cases other than the present case are produced using special systems of dual frameworks and/or underdeckings or other complicated and expensive systems.
Claims (5)
- System for covering different types of surfaces, especially for building use, this system involving the use of a fundamental component (1) of quadrilateral shape, preferably square or rhomboidal, made out of a piece of sheet metal cut to the corresponding desired shape, of which two sections of suitable width on two corresponding mutually adjacent sides are bent towards one surface of the component (1) while the other two sides, also mutually adjacent, are bent in the same way towards the opposite surface, the resulting bent sides forming two pairs of corresponding bent edges (11-12) opposite each other, one pair (11) of said bent edges, whose lips are towards that surface of the component (1) which when laid is on the outside, being arranged with its vertex uppermost, while the vertex of the other pair (12) of edges bent in the opposite direction is downmost, the lips that form said pairs of bent edges (11-12) being interrupted at their respective ends, so that at the upper and lower vertices of every component (1) there are corresponding openings that limit the use of such covering components to steeply pitched roof coverings only, because of the possible ingress of rainwater driven by the wind into the area beneath the roofing, all of which is known, the new covering system that forms the subject of the present invention being characterized in that in said fundamental quadrilateral component (1) the upper (11) and lower (12) pairs of bent edges are produced simply in just two successive bending operations, namely a first bending operation in which two lips on two opposite sides are bent in opposite directions to each other until parallel to and slightly separated from the respective opposite surfaces of the component (1) and a second bending operation done in the same way on the other two sides, these bends being made without removing any part of the bent ends where the bent edges (11-12) converge, with the result that at the corresponding opposing upper and lower vertices there is a structural continuity capable of preventing any ingress of water, the resulting covering structure therefore being impermeable in practice.
- System according to Claim 1, characterized in that other complementary components (2,3,4 and 5) derived from the fundamental component (1) and of triangular shape can be made in practice by dividing the fundamental components (1) along their diagonals, the sides formed along said diagonals being preferably extended outwards by a suitable section forming a lip which in turn is suitably bent back like the bent edges (11-12) of the component (1), and turned towards that side which when laid is on the outside, or in the opposite direction, in such a way that the sides can be connected by hooking the respective bent edges onto the oppositely bent edges of other possible finishing components such as are normally laid along the edges of the slope F of a roof, such as guttering, flashing and ridge components.
- System according to the preceding claims, characterized in that said fundamental components (1) and the respective complementary components (2,3,4,5) can be fixed to the underlying structure with a single strap (7) of which one end is bent so as to wrap around the inner extremity of the lip of the upper bent edge (11), against which it abuts, while at the same time the top edge of the bend fits into the inner vertex of the upper bent edge (11), the other end of which strap (7) can be fixed to the underlying structure with suitable means, such as nails, screws, expansion plugs and the like inserted through one or more holes in this end and fastened into the underlying structure, so that the associated component (1,2,3,4,5) is hung at the same time.
- System according to Claims 1 and 2, characterized in that when laid as a covering for roof slopes (F), there is in addition to the fundamental component (1) and complementary components (2,3,4,5) at least one ridge component (6) for covering and connecting together the coverings of two slopes (F) converging on the ridge line, said ridge component (6) consisting of a simple rectangular piece which is likewise made out of a suitable metal sheet whose length may vary greatly according to the length of the ridge line and whose width is such that its resulting longitudinal sides can adequately cover the upper edges of the coverings prepared on the slopes (F), said rectangular piece having two lips, one at each opposite end, bent in opposite directions to form respective bent edges (61 and 62) similar to those of the other components (1,2,3,4,5), said rectangular piece finally being bent along its longitudinal axis to give a V profile, the angular width of which is easily variable in order that said ridge component (6) can be adapted to the various pitches of the slopes (F) of the roof, the oppositely bent edges (61, 62) at the ends of individual ridge components (6) making it possible to lock together two edge components (6) so that a ridge can be effectively and completely covered, each ridge component (6) also being able to be hooked and fixed to the associated supporting structure by means of straps (7a) just like the straps (7) used for fixing the other covering components (1,2,3,4,5), differing from the latter only in that the end which is to be hooked over one of the bent edges (61 or 62) of a corresponding ridge component (6) is bent straight back on itself.
- System according to the preceding claims, characterized in that the individual covering components (1,2,3,4,5,6) can be made from metal sheets in the "natural" state, such as aluminium sheets, galvanized sheets etc., and hence monochrome, or from pre-painted sheets and hence having coloured surfaces, or may be painted in various colours after laying, the painting of said components enabling the creation of coloured monochromatic and/or polychromatic coverings to give a wide variety of special aesthetic effects.
