Abstract

A system for fitting roof panels has a two part frame with the bottom frame (3) supported on the roof mountings and with a separate top frame (1) which clips into the bottom frame and clamps onto the edges of adjoining panels. The panels are fitted by first having the frame sections in an initial position for a loose grip. This enables the operator to slide the panels into position. The two parts of the frame are pulled together by threaded fasteners tightened from the underside of the frames, ie. under the roof. The frames are fitted with profiled edge strips which provide a watertight seal onto the panels.

Description

There are numerous installation profile systems for panels, especially those made of Glass or plastic, which are used for roofing, known. The Laying profiles serve the purpose of the panels on wood or Metal substructures to fix and to closed surfaces summarize. The connection is intended to prevent water from entering be sealed. Tensions in the plastic material due to different thermal expansion should be compensated. Systems in which panels with different heights with partial identical components can also be installed (see e.g. B. the German utility model DE-U 297 19 885.8).

The known laying systems generally make it necessary, at least in one of the last steps, in which the connections conclude be fixed to walk on the roof surfaces. This means a high one Assembly effort and in addition to the risk of accidents, there is also the danger that Damaging plastic surfaces when walking on them.

Task and solution

It was seen as a task to lay a system for plastic sheets provide that on or bridging between an existing Substructure can be attached and where the individual elements work together so that an inspection of the roof surface during assembly can be avoided.

Implementation of the invention

The laying profile system according to the invention is suitable in principle for Laying boards of all kinds, e.g. B. also glass plates, but especially for Plastic plates, e.g. B. double-wall sheets made of polymethyl methacrylate or Polycarbonate. The plates can also be dome-like in the cantilever area be arched or curved. It is understood that a plate is always between or on two installation profiles adjacent to each other at a distance of the board width is relocated.

The principle of the invention is based on the fact that the elements upper profile (1), and Sub-profile (3) and optionally an intermediate profile (2) are designed so that they can be pushed together in a position 1, in the one Clearance (Z) between the, seen in cross section, sides of the Upper profile (1) and the lower profile (3), the plate to be laid (P) should remain, which is greater than the height of the to be installed Plate (P). The space (Z) can e.g. B. 2 - 5, preferably 1 - 3 cm, be greater than the height of the slab to be installed, the height being possibly with existing sealing profiles on the upper and / or lower profile consider.

By inserting, closing or tightening one below the level of the Plate (P) accessible or insertable fastener (B), that is Laying system transferred to position 2, in which the above Gap (Z) is reduced so that the plate (P) is firmly enclosed becomes. Position 1 is thus an intermediate state during assembly. The Position 2 represents the final laying condition, which is in a final Assembly step is reached.

The elements of the installation profile system

The laying system consists of the elements upper profile (1), lower profile (3) and optionally an intermediate profile (2) and fasteners (B), which can be accessed or used below the level of the plate (P) must, as well as optional usual means for sealing or fastening,

The elements upper profile (1) and lower profile (3) have the function that tightly enclose the laying plate (P) in position 2. Usually, however not mandatory, the upper profile (1) and the lower profile (3) are using conventional means for Sealing, e.g. B. with attached sealing profiles or recessed Rubber sealing profiles, equipped.

The sub-profile (3) itself, as in the embodiment according to FIG. 1 shown, also for transferring the installation profile system from position 1 in Contribute position 2 by z. B. is provided with elastic arms. The Sub-profile can be fastened using conventional fasteners, e.g. B. screws on the substructure.
