Definitions

  • Gutters are known in many embodiments. From US-A-5 327 689 is known a gutter, for instance roof gutter, comprising:
  • the elongate trough is manufactured from metal.
  • This metal may be for instance copper or galvanized iron.
  • Long troughs entail the drawback that special transporting means are necessary, the cost of which bears no relation to the advantage of the integral trough structure.
  • smaller trough parts are often transported to the building site and mutual coupling and watertight connection between the respective trough parts together forming the trough are carried out on site during installation.
  • the mutual coupling, fitting or watertight connection increases the danger of leakage. In the case of plastic this danger is increased as a result of the relatively strong thermal expansion.
  • the trough parts are placed overlapping each other slightly and the overlap zones are mutually connected by for instance soldering.
  • the trough parts are usually connected in watertight manner to each other by foil provided with a bituminous layer. After placing of the relevant foil over the connecting zones the bituminous layer is heated to a high temperature such that the bituminous mass melts and attaches fully to the relevant surfaces and thus seals the seams in question in completely watertight manner.
  • the roof gutter according to the invention has the special feature that the trough consists of a number of plate parts extending in lengthwise direction which are separated by parallel linear fold zones of reduced thickness.
  • the linear fold zones can be deemed as hinge zones.
  • said plate parts are folded round the fold zones and the thus obtained trough structure is coupled to the bearing structure.
  • a very practical embodiment is that in which the longitudinal edges of the trough are widened and coupled to the bearing structure.
  • the widened longitudinal edges of the trough also ensure a good bending stiffness in the non-supported zones of the trough between the supporting zones of the bearing structure placed at mutual lengthwise distances, whereby sag is practically precluded.
  • a preferred embodiment has the special feature that a substantially prismatic, inward directed flap extending over the whole length of the trough is present on at least one of the longitudinal edges of the trough, which flap is pressed substantially flat against the trough in the rolled-up state of this trough.
  • a flap ensures that no inconvenience can be caused by splashing water in the case of for instance heavy rainfall.
  • Such splashing water could for instance wetten a bottom layer of the roof structure, while such a layer is not adapted therefor.
  • a specific embodiment has the special feature that the trough is monolithic.
  • the term "monolithic" must be understood to mean that the trough in question consists of one piece, for instance is embodied as a number of components inseparably embodied with each other or is formed integrally.
  • a specific aspect of the trough according to the invention lies in the fact that the trough consists of separate plate elements mutually coupled along longitudinal zones. It will be apparent that the relevant elements have to be coupled to each other in watertight manner. In the context of the described ability to roll up the trough structure, said plate elements not only have to be mutually connected in watertight manner but also hingedly, so that they can be placed in one main plane for rolling-up of the trough structure in the factory.
  • a specific variant of the latter embodiment has the special feature that said plate elements are mutually coupled by snap connections.
  • Yet another embodiment of the gutter according to the invention has the special feature that the trough consists of a number of parts which extend in lengthwise direction and which are mutually separated by parallel zones which are each provided with an elongate strengthening element embedded in the trough.
  • a specific variant of the gutter according to the invention has the special feature that the trough is unrolled from the rolled-up state and is caused to cure in the desired shape, for instance with a heat treatment.
  • An embodiment of the gutter in which the trough can be coupled very easily to the bearing structure placed beforehand has the special feature that the longitudinal edges of the trough are suspended from the bearing structure by means of prismatic barb structures.
  • the gutter according to the invention may be useful under certain conditions to embody the gutter according to the invention such that the trough consists of more than one part. This is for instance the case when the gutter is not entirely straight but must form a corner along its length. It may also be desired to use different separate trough parts to create thermal expansion zones.
  • the gutter according to the invention can be embodied such that the trough consists of at least two parts which are mutually coupled in watertight manner and with longitudinal freedom of movement.
  • a specific aspect of the invention lies in the fact that a flap is fixed to the bearing structure on the roof side, which flap extends in lengthwise direction and which extends from below the upper roof layer, consisting for instance of roof tiles, beyond the inner longitudinal edge of the trough to a position above this trough. Said flap serves for draining of condensation water from the roof structure to the trough.
  • a waterpermeable structure is arranged on the bearing structure on the roof side and is adapted to avoid the passage of birds to below the roof, and comprises for instance a row of standing pins or a grid.
  • a specific embodiment has the special feature that the trough consists substantially of foil material which is connected by clamping means to the bearing structure. It will be apparent that foil material can adapt itself very easily to the shape of a supporting basis. The advantage hereof is that fitting can take place comparatively simply and that a greater flexibility of form is obtained. A minor disadvantage may lie in the fact that special means are required to connect the foil material to the bearing structure. In addition, the bearing structure itself must already be embodied as a more or less integral, trough-like construction. A thin foil in particular would otherwise involve the risk of causing danger of sag and possible damage in the non-supported zones.
  • a specific embodiment has the feature that close to at least one of its longitudinal edges the trough is provided with a number of prismatic, substantially identical thickened zones which are adapted for co-action with the bearing structure in order to be supported thereby, wherein non-utilized zones are separated beforehand from the trough.
  • troughs of different dimensions can be realized with only one type of trough material. Removal of the non-utilized zones can take place in simple manner with for instance a knife.
  • a very advantageous embodiment is that wherein the or each part of the trough is manufactured by extrusion.
  • the plastic from which the trough is manufactured can be of any suitable type, provided the basic prerequisite of the invention is satisfied, that the basic material for the trough has a sufficiently great flexibility for rolling up a basic trough in an at least somewhat flattened form for transport.
  • the gutter can for instance have the special feature that the plastic is chosen from the group of which rubber, synthetic rubber, LDPE, HDPE, PP, PE, PVC form part.
  • a combination is also possible, wherein for instance a number of layers are inseparably connected to each other by means of co-extrusion.
  • a further aspect of the invention is that the bearing structure comprises a number of support brackets arranged at mutual longitudinal distances.
  • a particular embodiment has the feature that the support brackets are adapted to support the longitudinal edges of the or each of said parts of the trough.
  • a specific variant hereof has the special feature that a support bracket is adjustable in transverse direction of the trough.
  • the position of the gutter relative to the wall can hereby be chosen in transverse direction of the gutter and adjusted as required.
  • the trough has the special feature that a support bracket is adapted to support said longitudinal edges at adjustable mutual distance.
  • Another embodiment has the special feature that the angle of inclination of a support bracket is adjustable.
  • a gutter can hereby be placed for instance such that particular obstacles are avoided.
  • a variant has the feature that the horizontal angular position of a support bracket is adjustable.
  • the described degrees of freedom can also be applied in combination.
  • each support bracket comprises a supporting brace or supporting ribs.
  • An increased strength of the bearing structure is hereby realized with simple means.
  • Figure 1 shows a roll 1 of rolled-up material 2 for forming of a generally trough-like structure which will be discussed below.
  • Material 2 is formed by extrusion and thus has a prismatic form.
  • a "prismatic" structure is understood to mean one which has the same cross-section at any position.
  • Material 2 has a central plate part 3 and two side plate parts 4, 5 which are mutually separated by fold zones 6, 7 of relatively small thickness. Fold zones 6, 7 can thus function as hinge zones, whereby plate parts 4 and 5 can pivot relative to central plate part 3.
  • Figure 2 shows the manner in which the strip material 2 can be formed into a trough forming part of a roof gutter 12.
  • Roof gutter 12 comprises a bearing structure consisting of a number of bearing elements 16 which are fixed to a building structure, for instance by means of screws.
  • the strip material 2 according to figure 1 is formed into a generally trough-like structure by folding over plate parts 4 and 5 relative to central plate part 3.
  • support profiles 13, 14 are snap-coupled to widened portions 10, 11 respectively. These support profiles 13, 14 are adapted for clamping co-action with respectively a clamping jaw 15, which forms part of bearing element 16, and with a support hook 17.
  • Widened portions 10, 11 are slidable with some clearance relative to support profiles 13, 14 in order to accommodate thermal expansion.
  • FIG. 3 shows a variant of a bearing element designated with 18. This bearing element is embodied hingedly whereby the angular position of the roof gutter can be adjusted as desired.
  • Figure 4 shows an alternative trough 19 which is formed from a material strip which is technically related to strip material 2 but profiled in a different way. Inserted elongate strengthening elements 20, 21 serve for co-action with bearing elements 22 (see figure 5). Gutter 19 can consist of different materials, wherein hinge zones 112, 113 consist of a rubbery material.
  • Figure 6 shows that the bearing construction shown in figure 5 can alternatively be embodied hingedly.
  • gutter 19 can be adjusted and fixed at a chosen distance from the wall 108.
  • FIG. 7 shows an alternative trough construction.
  • trough 23 comprises a central plate part 24 and two side plate parts 25, 26 which are mutually connected by hinges 27, 28.
  • FIG 8 shows that hinges 27, 28 are embodied with watertight sealing strips 29. This ensures that trough 23 is wholly watertight.
  • Figure 9 shows a variant in which a trough 30 consists of two plate parts 30, 31, of which the longitudinal edges 33, 34 and the transition zone 35 are provided with respective strengthening rods 36 which are only inserted during placing of the gutter.
  • Bearing elements 37 engage clampingly on said end edges and transition zone.
  • said inner surface of the receiving tube or the outer surface of the rod preferably has a number of ribs preferably extending in lengthwise direction. Easy sliding is hereby ensured and jamming caused for instance by dirt accumulation and the like is prevented.
  • Figure 10 shows the manner in which an alternative trough 38, which is likewise provided with rods 36, can be formed from substantially a strip of flat material 39.
  • bearing elements are embodied as support brackets 40.
  • FIG 11 shows a gutter 41 in which a trough 42 has a lower fold zone 43 and strengthened longitudinal edges 44, 45.
  • Bearing elements 46 take a hinged form and engage clampingly on said longitudinal edges 44, 45.
  • the trough material is removed locally at that position. This is indicated in the drawing with openings 47, 48.
  • Figure 12 shows an alternative embodiment of the bearing element, which is indicated in this embodiment with 49.
  • FIG 13 shows yet another embodiment of bearing elements 50. These engage from the inside onto longitudinal edges 44, 45 by means of hooks.
  • Figure 14 shows schematically that strip-like material unrolled from a roll 51 is heated, in this embodiment by a hot air device 51.
  • a temporary softening of the material in question takes place, whereby the material returns to its original shape on the basis of its shape memory, which shape corresponds by and large with the desired final shape of the trough for manufacture.
  • the material retains this shape after cooling.
  • Figure 15 shows that trough 52 (see also figure 14) has end edges with prismatic barb structures. These can be snap-inserted in the shown manner into hollow bearing profiles 53 which form part of a bearing structure with adjustable bearing elements 54 and which in this embodiment are hollow. A locking element 55 fixes the bearing structure.
  • Figure 16 shows a variant in which a condensation flap 56 is arranged on the side of roof 156. This extends on one side between the upper layer 57 and bearing layer 58 of the roof, is connected to bearing profile 53 by means of a barb structure 59 and extends further to a position above trough 52.
  • Profile 53 carries a decorative strip 111 which serves as embellishment and can have for instance the same colour as the paintwork of the building.
  • Trough 52 is provided on its underside with two hook-shaped ribs 120, 121 which extend in lengthwise direction and which together hold a decorative strip 123. It is noted that flaps 8 and 9 are directed downward, whereby water falling onto flaps 8, 9 will fall into trough 52.
  • FIG 17 shows that a trough 60 can be provided locally with a hatch 61 which can be displaced between closed and open position. This hatch thus provides the option of cleaning the gutter trough in simple manner. In the closed situation two closing loops 62 of the hatch co-act with protrusions 63 formed on the trough.
  • Figure 18 shows the connection between two troughs 52.
  • a flexible corrugated connecting piece 64 which in the shown manner is connected clampingly, and therefore sealingly, to both troughs 52 by screw connections.
  • the connecting piece 64 can accommodate the associated changes in length.
  • Figure 19 shows that connecting piece 64 can be covered on the outside by a plastic plate 65 with a shape adapted to the shape of troughs 52.
  • Figure 19A shows the manner in which a drainpipe 66 can be connected to a trough 52. This manner of connection corresponds with the structure shown in figure 19.
  • Element 67 has a form which corresponds with a trough 52.
  • Rainpipe 66 is integrated therein or connected thereto in other manner.
  • Figure 20 shows a sealing connecting element 68 between mutually connected troughs 69.
  • Two steel barb elements 109, 110 provide the necessary clamping force.
  • Element 68 is of rubber or rubber-like material and therefore elastic.
  • FIG. 21 shows the connection between a trough 69 and connecting piece 64. Use is made for this purpose of a connecting element 70. This element co-acts clampingly with the components 69 and 64. At variance with connecting element 68, connecting element 70 does not comprise any elastically deformable sealing lips 73.
  • Figure 22 shows by way of example an alternative wherein trough 69 is connected to an expandable and contractible connecting piece 64 by means of a sealing clamping jaw 71 which forms part of connecting piece 64 and for sealing purposes is provided with a rubber insert 72 with sealing lips 73.
