Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a method for fixing tiles to one another, for example plane and curved tiles or bent tiles, etc. used to cover a roof, in order to avoid accidental shifting thereof.
  • the present invention relates also to gripping elements used to carry out such a method.
  • a tile shifting in the case of bent tiles or plane tiles, can cause damaging water infiltration in every house roof.
  • Tile shifting may be caused also by bad weather, such as by wind, rain or hail, and also by traffic vibrations, especially when the roof is sloping.
  • rectangular plane tiles or plain roofing tiles, are used to cover the roof surface, and bent tiles are used to cover the longitudinal groove between two adjacent plane tiles, without which it would be impossible to avoid water infiltration.
  • cement is used to fix also other plane and bent tiles but it may cause water infiltration, because cement porosity allows moisture transport.
  • FR 2049464 shows a gripping element for bent tiles on a sloped surface of a roof which has two C folded ends. The gripping action is unstable.
  • GB 2213512 teaches a retainer having bifurcated shape but not suited for a sloped surface of a roof with bent tiles which rest on plane tiles.
  • DE 3941216 and FR 2105470 show gripping elements for tiles directed to block the tiles on a crest of a roof.
  • an object of the present invention to provide a new method to fix tiles, for example bent tiles, plane tiles and the like used to cover a roof, that is easy and cheap to carry out and that assures the durability and safety of the roof covering.
  • an element for carrying out the method for fixing tiles is a head element 1 comprising a sheet 2 with a C folded end 3.
  • the end 3 can fix and support a tile edge whereas the other end 4 is elongated and holds its position by screws, not shown, which are fastened to the roof.
  • the C folded end of element 1 is formed by two wings 5 which extend from a connecting portion 6 to the straight portion 2.
  • element 1 has a Y shaped top plan view (figure 2A).
  • a gripping element 7 comprises two C folded ends, 8 and 9, C folded in opposite planes, whereby it has a S shaped cross section (figure 4C).
  • element 7 comprises two parallel S shaped sheets, 8a and 8b, joined by a central crosspiece 10, whereby said element has a H shaped top plan view (figure 4A).
  • the gripping method as shown in figure 5, comprises the steps of:
  • figure 6 shows a perspective view of a first phase of the method for fixing tiles, according to the present invention.
  • the steps are provided of placing plane tiles 11 on the roof surface and positioning the head element 1 under the contact line 14 between two tiles 11 where a bent tile must be arranged to avoid water infiltration.
  • Figure 7 shows a perspective view of the next steps.
  • the head element 1 has the task of anchoring and supporting a first bent tile 15, which is the first of his row.
  • the wings 5 of element 1 can be folded to assure a better tiles gripping.
  • the gripping element 7 is used to link together all the other bent tiles 16. In fact, his down turned grips 8 anchor the upper edge of the lower tile, whereas the up turned grips 9 anchor the lower edge of the upper tile.
  • the method is very easy to carry out and it does not require more time than a standard roof laying.
  • Elements 1 and 7 may be made cheaply and of a suitable material, such as galvanised sheet iron or copper sheet, advantageously coated by a protective plastic film.
