Description

La présente invention concerne un crochet pour la fixation de tuiles mécaniques montées à recouvrement sur des liteaux de toiture.The present invention relates to a hook for fixing of mechanical tiles mounted overlapping on battens of roof.

Les tuiles mécaniques sont aujourd'hui largement utilisées pour la réalisation de toitures. Ces tuiles, dont les formes peuvent être très diverses, notamment en fonction du galbe de la tuile, se posent toujours de la même manière, c'est-à-dire à recouvrement, et comportent à cet effet, au niveau de leurs rives longitudinale et transversale, de nombreux bourrelets aptes à délimiter des canaux et à participer au maintien d'un montage à emboítement par recouvrement. Ce recouvrement peut s'effectuer depuis la droite vers la gauche de la toiture ou inversement. Pour permettre la tenue d'un tel montage à recouvrement, il est nécessaire d'utiliser des organes de fixation des tuiles. Toutefois, du fait de la possibilité de montage par recouvrement à droite ou à gauche des tuiles sur les liteaux, les premiers crochets de fixation développés il y a environ vingt ans étaient profilés pour maintenir assemblés la rive transversale supérieure d'une tuile, destinée à être recouverte par la rive transversale inférieure d'une tuile suivante dans le sens de la toiture, à un liteau de soutien de la zone de recouvrement des tuiles. La fixation uniquement en partie haute de la tuile permet de ne pas tenir compte de la direction du montage à recouvrement. Toutefois, des essais en soufflerie et les réalisations sur site ont montré que, si les tuiles ne sont fixées qu'en partie haute, leur nez risque de se soulever, la tuile claque et l'eau peut facilement pénétrer. A chaque claquement, la tuile peut perdre sa position initiale, voire à terme se casser. En conséquence, ces crochets de fixation n'ont pas donné à ce jour entière satisfaction.Mechanical tiles are widely used today for the realization of roofs. These tiles, whose forms can be very diverse, especially depending on the curve of the tile, always arise in the same way, that is to say with overlap, and include for this purpose, at level of their longitudinal and transverse banks, numerous beads capable of delimiting canals and participate in the maintenance of a fitting assembly by recovery. This recovery can be done from the right to left of the roof or vice versa. For allow such an overlapping assembly to be held, it is necessary to use fixing devices for tiles. However, due to the possibility of mounting by right or left overlap of the tiles on the battens, the first fixing hooks developed there at around twenty were profiled to maintain assembled the upper transverse edge of a tile, intended to be covered by the transverse edge bottom of a next tile in the direction of the roof, to a support strip of the overlap area of roof tiles. Fixing only in the upper part of the tile allows you to ignore the direction of mounting at recovery. However, wind tunnel tests and on-site achievements have shown that, if the tiles are not fixed in the upper part, their nose is likely to lift, the tile clicks and water can easily penetrate. Every click, the tile can lose its initial position, or even eventually break. Consequently, these hooks fixation have not given complete satisfaction to date.

Récemment sont donc apparues sur le marché des fixations situées en bas de tuile. Le dispositif connu à ce jour est constitué d'un crochet prolongé d'une patte se fixant, par une opération de clouage, à un liteau. Toutefois, ce crochet n'est pas universel. Il nécessite de disposer de deux modèles, l'un pour la fixation sur des tuiles se recouvrant vers la droite, l'autre pour la fixation sur des tuiles se recouvrant vers la gauche. La nécessité de disposer de crochets de fixation de deux types augmente les stocks chez les poseurs de toiture. Par ailleurs, l'opération de pose d'un tel crochet est fastidieuse car elle nécessite, à chaque étape de pose, une opération de clouage. Il en résulte une fatigue excessive du poseur et un risque au niveau de l'opération de clouage.Recently, therefore, appeared on the fastener market located at the bottom of the tile. The device known to date is consisting of a hook extended by a tab which is fixed, by a nailing operation, to a batten. However, this hook is not universal. It requires to have two models, one for fixing on tiles overlapping to the right, the other for fixing on overlapping tiles to the left. The need to having two types of hooks increases the stocks at roofers. Otherwise, the operation of installing such a hook is tedious because it requires, at each installation step, an operation of nailing. This results in excessive fatigue of the installer and a risk in the nailing operation.

Il est par ailleurs connu par GB-A-2.101.172 un crochet constitué de deux branches divergentes reliées à l'une de leurs extrémités par une boucle spiralée formant ressort. Les extrémités opposées des branches sont quant à elles conformées pour s'étendre l'une dans le plan passant par les branches divergentes, l'autre pour former un angle de 90° avec ce plan. L'extrémité de la branche s'étendant dans le plan est terminée par une pointe servant exclusivement à la fixation du crochet au liteau tandis que l'autre extrémité est destinée à venir épouser un rebord de la tuile. Il en résulte une possibilité unique de montage d'un tel crochet. Ces mêmes inconvénients s'appliquent de manière analogue au crochet décrit dans le brevet EP-A-0.987.379 dont la fixation au liteau se fait exclusivement par enfichage. Dans ce brevet EP-A-0.987.379, au moins l'extrémité d'une branche s'étend clairement en direction de l'extérieur de l'espace inter-branches.It is also known from GB-A-2.101.172 a hook consisting of two divergent branches connected to one of their ends by a spiral loop forming a spring. The opposite ends of the branches are shaped to extend one in the plane passing through the divergent branches, the other to form an angle of 90 ° with this plan. The end of the branch extending into the plan is terminated by a point used exclusively for fixing the hook to the batten while the other end is intended to marry a ledge of the tile. This results in a unique possibility of mounting a such hook. These same disadvantages apply analogous to the hook described in patent EP-A-0,987,379 whose attachment to the batten is done exclusively by plugging in. In this patent EP-A-0.987.379, at least the end of a branch clearly extends in the direction from outside the inter-branch space.

Un but de la présente invention est de proposer un nouveau crochet de fixation dont la conception permet à ce crochet d'être universel et de se positionner indifféremment sur les rives longitudinales droite ou gauche des tuiles et ce en un temps très court.An object of the present invention is to propose a new fixing hook whose design allows this hook to be universal and to position themselves indifferently on the right or left longitudinal edges of the tiles and this in a very short time.

Un autre but de la présente invention est de proposer un crochet de fixation apte à se situer en bas de tuile et dont la conception permet, pour une surface de un mètre carré, de fixer toutes les tuiles sans multiplier de manière importante le nombre de crochets à utiliser.Another object of the present invention is to provide a fixing hook able to be located at the bottom of the tile and whose design allows, for a surface of one meter square, fix all the tiles without multiplying importantly the number of hooks to use.

Un autre but de la présente invention est de proposer un crochet de fixation dont la conception de la fixation permet de poser le crochet sans organe supplémentaire et en un temps extrêmement court.Another object of the present invention is to provide a fixing hook including fixing design allows the hook to be installed without additional parts and an extremely short time.

Un autre but de la présente invention est de proposer un crochet de fixation dont la conception des extrémités des branches permet une adaptation à tous les types de tuiles existants sur le marché. Another object of the present invention is to provide a fixing hook including the design of the ends of the branches allows adaptation to all types of tiles existing on the market.

A cet effet, l'invention a pour objet un crochet pour la fixation de tuiles mécaniques montées à recouvrement sur des liteaux de toiture, le crochet étant profilé spécialement pour maintenir assemblée la rive transversale inférieure d'une tuile, recouvrant la rive transversale supérieure d'une tuile, suivante dans le sens de la toiture, à un liteau de soutien de la zone de recouvrement desdites tuiles, ce crochet étant constitué de deux branches divergentes reliées à l'une de leurs extrémités par au moins une boucle d'allure spiralée formant ressort pour tendre au rapprochement des branches lorsqu'elles sont sous tension, caractérisé en ce que les extrémités libres des branches sont d'une part recourbées en direction de l'espace inter-branches, d'autre part orientées pour s'étendre d'un même côté du plan passant par les branches divergentes.To this end, the invention relates to a hook for the fixing of mechanical tiles mounted overlapping on roof battens, the hook being profiled specially to keep the transverse edge assembled lower of a tile, covering the transverse edge top of a tile, next in the direction of the roof, to a support strip of the overlap area of said tiles, this hook consisting of two divergent branches connected at one of their ends by at least one spring-like spiral loop to tend to bring the branches together when they are under tension, characterized in that the free ends branches are on the one hand bent in the direction of the inter-branch space, on the other hand oriented for extend on the same side of the plane passing through the branches divergent.

Grâce à cette conception, la fabrication d'un tel crochet peut s'effectuer en une seule passe et est donc simplifiée.Thanks to this design, the manufacture of such a hook can be done in a single pass and is therefore simplified.

    • Le crochet 1, objet de l'invention, est plus particulièrement destiné à la fixation de tuiles 2 mécaniques montées à recouvrement sur des liteaux 3 de toiture. Comme mentionné ci-dessus, les tuiles 2 mécaniques peuvent affecter un grand nombre de formes. On distingue ainsi les tuiles d'aspect plat, les tuiles de faible galbe et les tuiles de fort galbe. Les tuiles sont conformées pour permettre un montage à recouvrement au niveau des rives longitudinales et à emboítement par recouvrement au niveau des rives transversales. Le détail de réalisation de ces tuiles ne sera pas fourni dans la présente demande de brevet car il est bien connu à ceux versés dans cet art.The hook 1, object of the invention, is more particularly intended for fixing tiles 2 mechanical mounted overlapping on battens 3 of roof. As mentioned above, the 2 mechanical tiles can affect a large number of forms. We distinguish thus the tiles of flat appearance, the tiles of low curve and the curved tiles. The tiles are shaped to allow overlapping mounting at the longitudinal edges and overlapping by overlapping level of the transverse edges. The detail of realization of these tiles will not be provided in this application for patent because it is well known to those versed in this art.

    Le crochet 1, objet de l'invention, est quant à lui profilé spécialement pour maintenir assemblée la rive transversale inférieure d'une tuile 2, recouvrant la rive transversale supérieure d'une tuile 2 suivante dans le sens de la toiture, à un liteau 3 de soutien de la zone 2C de recouvrement des tuiles 2. Un tel montage est plus particulièrement représenté aux figures 3 à 6.The hook 1, object of the invention, is in turn profiled specially to keep the transverse edge assembled lower of a tile 2, covering the transverse edge top of a next 2 tile in the direction of the roof, to a support strip 3 from zone 2C of overlapping the tiles 2. Such a mounting is more particularly shown in Figures 3 to 6.

    Ce crochet 1 est constitué de deux branches 4 divergentes reliées à l'une de leurs extrémités par au moins une boucle 5 d'allure spiralée formant ressort pour tendre au rapprochement des branches 4 lorsqu'elles sont sous tension. Les extrémités libres 4A des branches 4 sont d'une part recourbées en direction de l'espace inter-branches, d'autre part orientées pour s'étendre d'un côté ou de l'autre du plan passant par les branches 4 divergentes, étant entendu que ces extrémités 4A s'étendent d'un même côté du plan indépendamment du côté choisi. En d'autres termes, les extrémités libres 4A des branches peuvent s'étendre respectivement au-dessus, ou au-dessous, du plan passant par les branches 4 divergentes lorsque le crochet est positionné avec ses branches 4 divergentes s'étendant dans un plan horizontal ou s'étendre respectivement à droite ou à gauche du plan passant par les branches 4 divergentes lorsque les branches 4 divergentes sont positionnées dans un plan vertical. Ce crochet forme ainsi un crochet universel dit réversible pouvant se positionner indifféremment par simple retournement, comme l'illustrent les figures 3 et 6, sur les rives longitudinales droite 2A ou gauche 2B des tuiles 2 au voisinage de la zone 2C de recouvrement des rives transversales inférieure et supérieure des tuiles 2.This hook 1 consists of two divergent branches 4 connected at one of their ends by at least one loop 5 of spiral shape forming a spring to tend to approximation of the branches 4 when they are under voltage. The free ends 4A of the branches 4 are of a curved part towards the inter-branch space, on the other hand oriented to extend on one side or the other of the plane passing through the divergent branches 4, it being understood that these ends 4A extend by the same side of the plan regardless of the side chosen. In others terms, the free ends 4A of the branches can extend respectively above, or below, the plane passing through the 4 divergent branches when the hook is positioned with its 4 divergent branches extending in a horizontal plane or extend respectively to right or left of the plane passing through the branches 4 divergent when 4 divergent branches are positioned in a vertical plane. This hook thus forms a universal hook called reversible that can be positioned indifferently by simple reversal, as illustrated Figures 3 and 6, on the right longitudinal banks 2A or left 2B of tiles 2 in the vicinity of zone 2C of overlapping of the lower transverse edges and top of tiles 2.

    Le crochet 1 peut, en fonction du nombre de spires de la boucle 5 d'allure spiralée formant ressort reliant les branches 4 à allure divergente entre elles, affecter un grand nombre de formes. Ainsi, dans l'exemple représenté à la figure 1, la boucle 5 comporte une spire. A l'inverse, dans la figure 2, la boucle 5 d'allure spiralée comporte deux spires qui peuvent être superposées ou écartées l'une de l'autre. Ainsi, ce crochet peut comporter au moins une spire en fonction de l'écartement entre liteau et rive transversale inférieure de la tuile venant à recouvrement.The hook 1 can, depending on the number of turns of the spiral-shaped loop 5 forming a spring connecting the branches 4 with a divergent appearance between them, affect a large number of forms. So in the example shown in Figure 1, the loop 5 has a turn. Conversely, in FIG. 2, the loop 5 of spiral appearance comprises two turns which can be superimposed or separated one the other. Thus, this hook can include at least one turns depending on the distance between battens and edges lower transverse of the tile coming to overlap.

    L'une des extrémités libres 4A des branches 4 du crochet 1 vient donc se positionner sur une rive longitudinale droite 2A ou gauche 2B de la tuile 2 tandis que l'autre extrémité libre 4A de la branche 4 du crochet 1 vient se positionner sous le liteau 3, comme l'illustre la figure 4, en se fichant simplement dans ce dernier ou en s'étendant au-delà du bord inférieur de ce dernier et en étant retenu à la manière d'un crochet.One of the free ends 4A of the branches 4 of the hook 1 is therefore positioned on a straight longitudinal bank 2A or left 2B of tile 2 while the other end free 4A of branch 4 of hook 1 is positioned under the battens 3, as illustrated in figure 4, by simply plugging into it or extending beyond from the bottom edge of the latter and being retained at the way of a hook.

    Les extrémités 4A des branches 4 divergentes sont, à l'état fixé du crochet 1 aux tuiles 2 et au liteau 3, orientées de telle sorte que la boucle 5 est positionnée, par rapport au sens de la pente, en amont des points de fixation du crochet au liteau 3 et à la rive longitudinale 2A, 2B de tuile 2, de manière à éviter la formation d'un chemin d'écoulement d'eau entre toiture et liteau 3.The ends 4A of the divergent branches 4 are, in the state attached from hook 1 to tiles 2 and batten 3, oriented so that loop 5 is positioned relative to the direction of the slope, upstream of the fixing points of the batten hook 3 and longitudinal edge 2A, 2B of tile 2, so as to avoid the formation of a path of water flow between roof and batten 3.

    Ce crochet 1 peut être constitué par déformation d'un fil continu, de préférence métallique, de préférence en acier inoxydable. Il en résulte un procédé de fabrication extrêmement simple et économique du crochet. This hook 1 can be formed by deformation of a wire continuous, preferably metallic, preferably steel stainless. The result is a manufacturing process extremely simple and economical hook.

    Comme l'illustrent les figures, l'universalité du crochet est obtenue par la forme des extrémités 4A des branches qui d'une part sont recourbées en direction de l'espace inter-branches, d'autre part sont orientées pour s'étendre à allure convergente d'un même côté du plan passant par les branches 4 divergentes et former respectivement avec ce plan un angle α inférieur à 90°. Ces branches 4 et leurs extrémités 4A sont ainsi conformées de manière telle que si on les prolongeait au-delà de leurs extrémités libres, elles présenteraient un point de convergence. Dans les exemples représentés, les branches 4 et leurs extrémités 4A s'étendent de manière symétrique de part et d'autre d'un plan perpendiculaire au plan des branches, ce plan passant par le point 5A de convergence des branches 4 au voisinage de la boucle 5. En d'autres termes, le crochet est un crochet symétrique par rapport à un plan bissecteur des branches. Ainsi, lorsque le crochet est positionné à plat en reposant sur ces branches 4, les extrémités 4A s'étendent à l'aplomb de l'espace inter-branches. L'extrémité 4A recourbée d'au moins l'une des branches, de préférence de chaque branche, forme, avec le plan passant par les branches 4, un angle α compris dans la plage [30° - 60°], de préférence voisin de 45°. Les extrémités recourbées des branches peuvent être identiques ou non d'une branche à une autre. Dans un mode de réalisation préféré de l'invention, l'extrémité 4A recourbée d'au moins l'une des branches 4, de préférence de chaque branche, présente, au voisinage de son extrémité libre, au moins une portion 4A1 courbe dont le rayon R1 de courbure est compris dans la plage [2,5 mm - 7,5 mm], de préférence voisin de 5 mm. Ainsi, dans la figure 8, l'extrémité 4A recourbée d'au moins l'une des branches 4, de préférence de chaque branche 4, présente, en direction de son extrémité libre, au moins deux portions 4A1, 4A2 courbes successives séparées entre elles par une portion 4B2 rectiligne, le rayon R2 de courbure de la portion 4A2 courbe la plus éloignée de l'extrémité libre, dite portion courbe distale, étant supérieure au rayon R1 de courbure de la portion 4A1 courbe dite proximale. Le rayon R2 de courbure de la portion 4A2 courbe distale est compris dans la plage [8 mm - 12 mm], de préférence voisin de 10 mm. Le rayon R1 de courbure de la portion 4A1 courbe proximale est compris dans la plage [2,5 mm - 7,5 mm], de préférence voisin de 5 mm. La portion 4B2 rectiligne séparant les portions 4A1 et 4A2 courbes proximale et distale présente une longueur comprise dans la plage [6 mm - 10 mm], de préférence voisine de 8 mm. La portion 4A1 courbe proximale est prolongée en direction de l'extrémité libre par une portion 4B1 rectiligne dont la longueur est comprise dans la plage [3 mm - 7 mm], de préférence voisine de 5 mm. La portion 4B2 rectiligne séparant les portions 4A1, 4A2 proximale et distale courbes et la portion 4B1 rectiligne disposée dans le prolongement de la portion 4A1 courbe proximale forment entre elles un angle β compris dans la plage [50° - 70°], de préférence voisin de 60°.As illustrated in the figures, the universality of the hook is obtained by the shape of the ends 4A of the branches which on the one hand are bent in the direction of the inter-branch space, on the other hand are oriented to extend to convergent appearance on the same side of the plane passing through the 4 divergent branches and form respectively with this plane an angle α less than 90 °. These branches 4 and their ends 4A are thus shaped so that if they were extended beyond their free ends, they would present a point of convergence. In the examples shown, branches 4 and their ends 4A extend symmetrically on either side of a plane perpendicular to the plane of the branches, this plane passing by the point 5A of convergence of the branches 4 in the vicinity of loop 5. In other words, the hook is a symmetrical hook with respect to a bisector plane of the branches. So when the hook is positioned flat resting on these branches 4, the ends 4A extend directly above the inter-branch space. The end 4A curved with at least one of the branches, of preference of each branch, shape, with the passing plane by branches 4, an angle α included in the range [30 ° - 60 °], preferably around 45 °. The extremities curved branches may or may not be the same from one branch to another. In one embodiment preferred of the invention, the 4A end curved at least one of the branches 4, preferably of each branch, has, in the vicinity of its free end, at least one portion 4A1 curve whose radius R1 of curvature is included in the range [2.5 mm - 7.5 mm], preferably around 5 mm. Thus, in FIG. 8, the end 4A curved with at least minus one of the branches 4, preferably of each branch 4, present, in the direction of its free end, at least two portions 4A1, 4A2 successive curves separated between them by a rectilinear portion 4B2, the radius R2 of curvature of the curved portion 4A2 the free end, called the distal curved portion, being greater than the radius R1 of curvature of the curved portion 4A1 called proximal. The radius R2 of curvature of the portion 4A2 distal curve is in the range [8 mm - 12 mm], from preferably around 10 mm. The radius R1 of curvature of the portion 4A1 proximal curve is in the range [2.5 mm - 7.5 mm], preferably around 5 mm. The 4B2 portion straight separating the curved portions 4A1 and 4A2 proximal and distal has a length included in the range [6 mm - 10 mm], preferably around 8 mm. The portion 4A1 proximal curve is extended towards the free end by a straight portion 4B1, the length is in the range [3 mm - 7 mm], from preferably around 5 mm. The straight 4B2 portion separating the 4A1, 4A2 proximal and distal curved portions and the straight portion 4B1 arranged in the extension of the portion 4A1 proximal curve form between them a angle β in the range [50 ° - 70 °], preferably close to 60 °.

    Bien que d'autres formes de réalisation de l'invention puissent être envisagées, les formes mentionnées ci-dessus sont préférées. Ainsi, la présence de deux portions courbes permet d'une part de s'adapter parfaitement au bourrelet jouxtant le bord longitudinal d'une tuile, d'autre part d'accepter un retrait plus ou moins accentué du bourrelet d'une tuile par rapport à son bord longitudinal.Although other embodiments of the invention can be considered, the forms mentioned above are preferred. So the presence of two curved portions allows on the one hand to adapt perfectly to the bead next to the longitudinal edge of a tile, on the other hand to accept a more or less accentuated withdrawal of the bead of a tile relative to its longitudinal edge.

    Comme mentionné ci-dessus, un même crochet permet, du fait de son positionnement, de maintenir appliquées l'une contre l'autre, d'une part la rive transversale inférieure d'une tuile, d'autre part la rive transversale supérieure de la tuile suivante dans le sens de la toiture. On note, comme l'illustrent les figures 3 et 6, que le crochet 1 s'adapte sur des tuiles se recouvrant à droite (figures 3 à 5) et sur des tuiles se recouvrant à gauche (figure 6) par simple retournement du crochet 1. En effet, dans la figure 3, le crochet est positionné de telle sorte que les extrémités libres 4A des branches 4 divergentes du crochet 1 s'étendent vers la gauche par rapport au plan formé par lesdites branches 4. A l'inverse, dans la figure 6, ces extrémités libres s'étendent vers la droite par rapport au plan formé. Ce passage de l'un à l'autre est obtenu par simple retournement du crochet. Ainsi, le stock de crochets nécessaires à la réalisation de telles toitures est constitué par un seul modèle de crochet. Il en résulte une simplification de la gestion d'un tel stock.As mentioned above, the same hook allows, because of its positioning, to maintain applied one against the other, on the one hand the lower transverse bank of a tile on the other hand the upper transverse bank of the next tile in the direction of the roof. We note, as illustrated in Figures 3 and 6, that the hook 1 fits on tiles overlapping on the right (Figures 3 to 5) and on tiles overlapping on the left (figure 6) by simple reversal of the hook 1. In fact, in FIG. 3, the hook is positioned so that the ends free 4A of branches 4 divergent from hook 1 extend to the left with respect to the plane formed by said branches 4. Conversely, in FIG. 6, these free ends extend to the right of the plan formed. This transition from one to the other is obtained by simple turning of the hook. So the stock of hooks necessary for the realization of such roofs is consisting of a single hook model. This results in a simplification of the management of such a stock.
