Abstract

The invention concerns a roof cover comprising a synthetic plastic sealing membrane (12) and several synthetic plastic bars (13) arranged parallel to one another on the surface of the sealing membrane. The latter is mechanically fixed to a roof element (11) and each of the bars (13) consists of a single-piece synthetic plastic section, soldered on the sealing membrane (12).

Description

Domaine de l'inventionField of the invention

La présente invention se rapporte à la pose de couvertures de bâtiments; elle concerne en particulier une couverture de toiture nouvelle.The present invention relates to the laying of roofs of buildings; it concerns in particular a new roof covering.

Technique antérieurePrior art

Les couvertures de toiture sont habituellement réalisée à l'aide de tôles de zinc avec joints debout. Ces couvertures en zinc ont l'inconvénient de se dilater avec la chaleur et d'être fragiles lors de fortes gelées. De plus, les tôles de zinc doivent être ventilées par dessous afin d'éviter leur vieillissement anormal. Enfin, les couvertures en zinc ne peuvent être fixées que sur des planches en bois.Roof covers are usually made of zinc sheets with standing joints. These zinc covers have the disadvantage of expanding with heat and being fragile during heavy frosts. In addition, zinc sheets must be ventilated from below to prevent their abnormal aging. Finally, zinc blankets can only be fixed on wooden boards.

Par DE-A-23362229 et US-A-5572843 on connait des systèmes de couverture dans lesquels une membrane d'étanchéité en matière synthétique est étendue sur la toiture, laquelle membrane est fixée à l'aide de barres plates ou de profilés en matière synthétique. Ces barres ou ces profilés ne donnent cependant pas à la toiture ainsi couverte une apparence esthétique similaire à celle d'une couverture en zinc traditionnelle.By DE-A-23362229 and US Patent 5572843 roofing systems are known in which a synthetic waterproofing membrane is extended on the roof, which membrane is fixed using flat bars or synthetic profiles. These bars or profiles, however, do not give the roof thus covered an aesthetic appearance similar to that of a traditional zinc blanket.

Le document "Protan Tak- og membransystemer" daté de février 1995 décrit plusieurs formes d'exécution d'éléments pouvant servir à des toitures dans lesquels on observe la présence d'une membrane sur laquelle sont apposés des profilés disposés parallèlement. Ces profilés peuvent être de type omega ou triangulaire.The document "Protan Takogo membransystemer" dated February 1995 describes several embodiments of elements that can be used for roofs in which there is observed the presence of a membrane on which are affixed profiles arranged in parallel. These profiles can be omega or triangular type.

Le document "avt-info" daté de décembre 1991 décrit un profilé omega se présentant sous la forme d'un profilé PVC souple présentant la même soudabilité que de membranes de toiture sur lesquelles le profilé peut être soudé.The "avt-info" document dated December 1991 describes an omega section in the form of a flexible PVC profile having the same weldability as roofing membranes on which the profile can be welded.

Le document "NBI Technical Approval" de Norwegian Institute for Building Investigation daté de février 1995 et révisé en avril 1996 reprend en détail les spécification des membranes de toiture en PVC.The Norwegian Institute for Building Investigation's "NBI Technical Approval" document dated February 1995 and revised in April 1996 details the specifications for PVC roofing membranes.

Résumé de l'inventionSummary of the invention

L'invention propose un système de couverture pour toiture tel que décrit à la revendication 1.The invention proposes a roof covering system as described in claim 1.

Outre que l'invention permet de réaliser des couvertures de toiture qui ne présentent pas les inconvénients des couvertures en zinc, la couverture de toiture suivant l'invention présente encore les avantages suivants :

  1. (i) exécution plus facile et plus rapide de la couverture que les couvertures en zinc à joints debout,
  2. (ii) grand choix pour le support de la couverture,
  3. (iii) réduction du coût de la couverture par rapport à une couverture en zinc à joints debout,
  4. (iv) apparence de la couverture assez similaire à celle d'une couverture en zinc traditionnelle.
In addition to the invention makes roofing roofs that do not have the disadvantages of zinc roofs, the roofing according to the invention has the following advantages:
  1. (i) easier and faster execution of the blanket than standing seam zinc blankets,
  2. (ii) great choice for the support of the cover,
  3. (iii) reduction of the cost of the blanket compared to a standing seam zinc blanket,
  4. (iv) appearance of coverage quite similar to that of a traditional zinc blanket.

L'invention est exposée plus en détails dans ce qui suit à l'aide des dessins joints.The invention is explained in more detail in the following with the aid of the accompanying drawings.

Brève description des dessinsBrief description of the drawings

La figure 1 est une vue de dessus d'une surface de toiture couverte conformément à l'invention.The figure 1 is a top view of a covered roof surface according to the invention.

La figure 2 montre une coupe suivant la ligne II-II de la figure 1.The figure 2 shows a section along line II-II of the figure 1 .

La figure 3 est une vue agrandie d'un profilé représenté à la figure 2.The figure 3 is an enlarged view of a section shown at figure 2 .

Description d'un mode de réalisation de l'inventionDescription of an embodiment of the invention

Sur la surface d'un élément 11 d'une toiture, par exemple un isolant, un voligeage, du béton, une tôle, etc, on fixe mécaniquement, par un moyen quelconque, une membrane d'étanchéité homogène constituée de feuilles 12 en PVC, par exemple.On the surface of an element 11 of a roof, for example an insulator, a joist, concrete, a sheet, etc., is mechanically fixed, by any means, a homogeneous waterproofing membrane consisting of PVC sheets 12 , for example.

Sur cette membrane 12 sont mis en place des profilés d'une pièce 13 en matière synthétique, par exemple des profilés souples en PVC, disposés parallèlement les uns aux autres avec un écartement régulier entre eux. Les profilés 13 sont fixés sur la membrane 12 par soudure, par exemple par soudure à froid à l'aide de tétra hydrofurane ou par soudure à l'air chaud.On this membrane 12 are put in place profiles of a piece 13 of synthetic material, for example flexible PVC profiles, arranged parallel to each other with a regular spacing between them. The profiles 13 are fixed on the membrane 12 by welding, for example by cold welding with tetrahydrofuran or by hot air welding.

Selon l'invention, tel que representé à la figure 3, les profilés 13 comportent une semelle 14 et une âme saillante 15 surmontée d'une partie 16 ayant en section transversale un profil de forme générale triangulaire. L'âme 15 du profilé a par exemple une largeur d'environ 1 cm et une hauteur d'environ 3 cm. Dans le mode d'exécution montré en figure 3, les profilés 13 se trouvent fixés sur la zone de chevauchement de deux feuilles de PVC 12 consécutives, ce qui a pour effet de rendre les joints invisibles. L'apparence d'une couverture de toiture ainsi réalisée de façon simple et rapide, est similaire à celle d'une couverture de toiture en zinc traditionnelle.According to the invention, as represented in figure 3 , the profiles 13 comprise a sole 14 and a projecting core 15 surmounted by a portion 16 having in cross section a profile of generally triangular shape. The core 15 of the profile has for example a width of about 1 cm and a height of about 3 cm. In the execution mode shown in figure 3 , the profiles 13 are fixed on the overlap area of two sheets of PVC 12 consecutive, which has the effect of making the joints invisible. The appearance of a roof covering thus achieved in a simple and fast way, is similar to that of a traditional zinc roofing roof.
