Abstract

The tile, designed to be fixed to roof battens, is made with two stepped sections - an upper section (7) with lateral interlocking channels (10), and a lower section (8) that overlaps the lateral edges of the tile in the row beneath. The front edge (11) of the lower section projects downwards to overlap the front edges of adjacent tiles on either side. The tile can be made in flat, ridged and curved versions.

Description

La présente invention concerne une tuile à emboítements.The present invention relates to a tile interlocking.

Dans le domaine des tuiles à emboítements utilisées habituellement pour la couverture des bâtiments, un problème récurent qui se pose, est celui de la résistance à l'arrachement par le vent.In the field of interlocking tiles used usually for building cover, a recurring problem pose, is that of resistance to tearing by the wind.

Traditionnellement, les tuiles à emboítement comportent un bord supérieur dit "bord de tête", un bord inférieur dit "bord de queue", deux bords latéraux, une surface supérieure qui peut avoir différentes formes ou reliefs, et une surface inférieure généralement munie de tenons ou de plots dirigés vers le bas, qui servent à l'accrochage de la tuile sur les liteaux ou les voliges de la charpente.Traditionally, interlocking tiles have an edge superior said "leading edge", a lower edge said "tail edge", two edges lateral, an upper surface that can have different shapes or reliefs, and a lower surface generally provided with tenons or studs directed towards the bottom, which are used to hang the tile on the battens or the battens of the framing.

Les tuiles connues comportent habituellement un système de gorges dont la concavité est tournée vers le haut, qui sont disposées le long du bord de tête et le long d'un premier bord latéral, et elles comportent également un système de rebords orientés vers le bas, disposés le long du bord de queue et du second bord latéral de la tuile.Known tiles usually have a system of gorges whose concavity is turned upwards, which are arranged along the edge and along a first side edge, and they also include a system of downward flanges arranged along the tail edge and the second side edge of the tile.

Le rebord de queue d'une tuile recouvre la gorge de tête de la tuile du rang inférieur par rapport au sens de la pente du toit, et le rebord latéral recouvre la gorge latérale de la tuile adjacente. Ainsi, pour une tuile donnée, il existe un recouvrement sur deux bords: le bord de tête de la tuile, et l'un de ses bords latéraux.The tail edge of a tile covers the top throat of the tile of the lower row in relation to the direction of the slope of the roof, and the lateral rim covers the lateral groove of the adjacent tile. So, for a given tile, he There is an overlap on two edges: the leading edge of the tile, and one of its lateral edges.

Il est apparu que lorsque la toiture est soumise à un vent fort, lors d'un violent orage ou lors d'une tempête, et en particulier lorsque le sens du vent est sensiblement contraire à la pente du toit ou bien lorsqu'il souffle latéralement en attaquant chaque tuile du côté de son bord latéral non recouvert, le risque d'arrachement des tuiles est important. En effet, l'angle de la tuile qui est commun aux deux bords non recouverts, est un point à faible résistance au soulèvement puisqu'aucun poids n'est appliqué sur cet angle.It appeared that when the roof is subjected to a strong wind, when a violent storm or during a storm, and especially when the sense of wind is substantially contrary to the slope of the roof or when it blows laterally by attacking each tile on the side of its non-lateral edge covered, the risk of tearing tiles is important. Indeed, the angle of the tile that is common to both uncovered edges, is a low point resistance to lifting since no weight is applied on this angle.

Pour contrer ce désavantage, des solutions ont été apportées. Ainsi, des tuiles ont été proposées qui comprennent un système d'accrochage sur les liteaux ou les voliges, au niveau de l'angle commun aux bords non recouverts de la tuile. Un tel accrochage peut être réalisé par clouage à l'aide d'une pointe qui traverse la tuile de part en part, dont la tête repose sur la surface supérieure de la tuile et dont la pointe est fichée dans le liteau ou la volige supportant la tuile. L'accrochage peut également être réalisé par pannetonage, c'est-à-dire au moyen d'un crochet ou une boucle situé à la surface inférieure de la tuile dans la région de l'angle non recouvert de ladite tuile, et qui est fixé sur le liteau ou la volige supportant la tuile.To counter this disadvantage, solutions have been made. Thus, tiles have been proposed that include a hanging system on the battens or the battens, at the angle common to the edges covered with tile. Such attachment can be achieved by nailing using a point that crosses the tile from side to side, whose head rests on the upper surface of the tile and whose tip is stuck in the batten or volige supporting the tile. The hanging can also be done by bunching, that is to say by means of a hook or a loop located at the lower surface of the tile in the corner area not covered with tile, and which is fixed on the batten or the volige supporting the tile.

Dans tous les cas, ces solutions ne sont pas entièrement satisfaisantes car elles exigent une mise en place fastidieuse, et donc coûteuse en main d'oeuvre.In any case, these solutions are not entirely satisfactory because they require a tedious and therefore expensive installation in manpower.

L'objectif principal de la présente invention est de fournir une tuile qui soit très résistante à l'arrachement par le vent, et qui évite les désavantages cités plus haut.The main objective of the present invention is to provide a tile which is very resistant to tearing by the wind, and which avoids disadvantages mentioned above.

Cet objectif est atteint avec une tuile à emboítements destinée à être posée et fixée sur des liteaux ou des voliges pour la réalisation d'une toiture, comprenant une surface supérieure, une surface inférieure, un bord de tête, un bord de queue et des bords latéraux, caractérisée en ce qu'elle comprend en outre deux parties possédant sensiblement la même longueur, à savoir:

  • (i) une partie supérieure en forme générale de plateau, réceptrice de l'eau du rang supérieur de tuiles, présentant des emboítements tournés vers le haut, le long de son bord de tête et de ses deux bords latéraux, et
  • (ii) une partie inférieure située sensiblement dans le prolongement de la partie supérieure et bordée latéralement par deux parties de recouvrement des emboítements latéraux de la partie supérieure des tuiles voisines du rang inférieur, le bord de queue de la tuile comportant un emboítement de recouvrement des deux tuiles voisines, à sensiblement mi-longueur de celle-ci, et de la tuile du rang inférieur dans son emboítement de tête.
    • This objective is achieved with a nesting tile intended to be laid and fixed on battens or battens for the realization of a roof, comprising an upper surface, a lower surface, a leading edge, a tail edge and edges lateral parts, characterized in that it further comprises two parts having substantially the same length, namely:
  • (i) a generally tray-like upper water-receiving portion of the upper tier of tiles, having upwardly facing snugs, along its leading edge and both of its side edges, and
  • (ii) a lower part situated substantially in the extension of the upper part and bordered laterally by two overlapping portions of the lateral interlockings of the upper part of the tiles close to the lower row, the tail edge of the tile having a covering nesting of the two neighboring tiles, at substantially mid-length thereof, and the tile of the lower row in its head nest.

    • Avantageusement, la partie inférieure de la tuile selon l'invention est décalée vers le bas, dans son intégralité ou seulement dans sa zone centrale, par rapport à la partie supérieure.Advantageously, the lower part of the tile according to the invention is shifted down, in its entirety or only in its area central, with respect to the upper part.

    Selon un premier mode de réalisation de l'invention, il s'agit d'une tuile plane ou faiblement galbée, de forme générale rectangulaire, la largeur de la partie supérieure étant sensiblement égale à la largeur de la partie inférieure.According to a first embodiment of the invention, this is a flat or slightly curved tile, generally rectangular in shape, the width of the upper part being substantially equal to the width of the lower part.

    Selon un second mode de réalisation alternatif de l'invention, la largeur de la partie inférieure de la tuile est supérieure à la largeur de la partie supérieure.According to a second alternative embodiment of the invention, the width of the lower part of the tile is greater than the width of the part higher.

    De toute façon l'invention sera bien comprise, à l'aide de la description qui suit, en référence au dessin schématique annexé représentant, à titre d'exemples non limitatifs, plusieurs formes d'exécution de tuiles selon l'invention.

    • In any case the invention will be better understood, with the aid of the description which follows, with reference to the appended schematic drawing showing, by way of nonlimiting examples, several embodiments of tiles according to the invention.

  • Figure 8 is a perspective top view of a tile, with flat upper and lower portions having a central channel, the lower portion being bordered on both sides by arches.

    • La tuile 1 représentée à la figure 1, comporte un bord de tête 2 et un bord de queue 3, qui correspondent aux petits côtés de la tuile, ainsi que deux bords latéraux 4. Elle comporte une face inférieure 5, et une face supérieure 6 dont la plus grande partie est une surface apparente 6 lorsque plusieurs tuiles sont assemblées pour former une couverture.The tile 1 shown in FIG. 1 has a leading edge 2 and a tail edge 3, which correspond to the short sides of the tile, as well as two side edges 4. It has a bottom face 5, and a face upper 6, the greater part of which is an apparent surface 6 when several tiles are assembled to form a blanket.

    La tuile 1 selon l'invention est une tuile plate ou faiblement galbée, destinée à être fixée selon les règles de l'art à des liteaux (ou des voliges) d'une charpente, afin de former une toiture.The tile 1 according to the invention is a flat or slightly curved tile, intended to be fixed according to the rules of the art to battens (or battens) of a frame, to form a roof.

    Elle est réalisée en tout matériau adapté à cet usage, par exemple des composites, mais plus généralement de la terre cuite (argile ou autre), moulée puis cuite à haute température selon les méthodes connues de l'homme du métier. It is made of any material suitable for this purpose, for example composites, but more generally terracotta (clay or other), molded and then cooked at high temperature according to the known methods of the skilled person.

    Afin de résoudre les problèmes de résistance à l'arrachement au vent exposés en préambule, la tuile à emboítement 1 selon l'invention, telle qu'elle est représentée aux figures 1 ou 2, comprend deux parties possédant sensiblement la même longueur, à savoir:

  • (i) une partie supérieure 7 en forme générale de plateau, réceptrice de l'eau du rang supérieur de tuiles, présentant des emboítements 10 tournés vers le haut, le long de son bord de tête 2 et de ses deux bords latéraux 4, et
  • (ii) une partie inférieure 8 située sensiblement dans le prolongement de la partie supérieure 7 et bordée latéralement par deux parties de recouvrement 11 des emboítements latéraux 10 de la partie supérieure 7 des tuiles voisines du rang inférieur, le bord de queue 3 de la tuile 1 comportant un emboítement de recouvrement 10 des deux tuiles voisines, à sensiblement mi-longueur de celle-ci, et de la tuile du rang inférieur dans son emboítement de tête 2.
    • In order to solve the problems of tearing resistance exposed in the preamble, the interlocking tile 1 according to the invention, as represented in FIGS. 1 or 2, comprises two parts having substantially the same length, namely :
  • (i) an upper tray-shaped upper portion 7, receiving water from the upper tier of tiles, having upwardly-fitting tabs 10 along its leading edge 2 and both of its lateral edges 4, and
  • (ii) a lower part 8 located substantially in the extension of the upper part 7 and laterally lined by two overlapping portions 11 of the lateral interlockings 10 of the upper part 7 of the tiles close to the lower row, the tail edge 3 of the tile 1 having a covering nest 10 of the two neighboring tiles, substantially mid-length thereof, and the tile of the lower row in its head socket 2.

    • Selon un mode de réalisation préféré de l'invention, la partie inférieure 8 de la tuile 1 est décalée vers le bas par rapport à la partie supérieure 7, créant ainsi deux niveaux supérieur et inférieur, séparés par un "nez de marche" 12, disposé transversalement à environ mi-longueur de la tuile.According to a preferred embodiment of the invention, the part lower 8 of tile 1 is shifted downward relative to the part 7, thus creating two upper and lower levels separated by a "walking nose" 12, arranged transversely at about mid-length of the tile.

    Selon un premier mode de réalisation de l'invention, la tuile 1 est plate, de forme générale rectangulaire, la largeur de la partie supérieure 7 étant sensiblement égale à la largeur de la partie inférieure 8, comme cela est représenté aux figures 1 et 2.According to a first embodiment of the invention, the tile 1 is flat, of rectangular general shape, the width of the upper part 7 being substantially equal to the width of the lower part 8, as is shown in Figures 1 and 2.

    Lorsque plusieurs tuiles sont assemblées, comme cela est illustré à la figure 2, elles se chevauchent de sorte qu'une seule tuile donne l'apparence de deux tuiles. En outre, une tuile étant rectangulaire, les zones d'emboítement 10 de la partie supérieure 7 réduisent la surface apparente de cette partie supérieure 7, ainsi lorsque plusieurs tuiles sont en place sur une toiture, et même si elles sont rectangulaires et disposées les unes derrière les autres comme montré à la figure 2, aux angles de chaque tuile correspondent non pas quatre tuiles adjacentes, mais seulement trois tuiles adjacentes. Ainsi les chevauchements d'une tuile à l'autre sont réduits, et par conséquent les problèmes d'infiltration sont réduits également.When multiple tiles are assembled, as shown in Figure 2, they overlap so that only one tile gives the appearance two tiles. In addition, a tile being rectangular, the nesting areas 10 of the upper part 7 reduce the apparent surface of this part upper 7, so when several tiles are in place on a roof, and even if they are rectangular and arranged one behind the other as shown in Figure 2, at the corners of each tile match not four adjacent tiles, but only three adjacent tiles. So the overlaps from one tile to another are reduced, and therefore the Infiltration problems are reduced as well.

    L'étanchéité est également améliorée du fait que les zones de jonction sont réalisées entre trois tuiles au lieu de quatre tuiles habituellement. The watertightness is also improved because the zones of junction are made between three tiles instead of four tiles usually.

    Selon une alternative de ce premier mode de réalisation de l'invention, les parties supérieure 7 et inférieure 8 de la tuile 1 sont plats, comme cela est illustré aux figures 1 ou 2.According to an alternative of this first embodiment of the invention, the upper 7 and lower 8 parts of the tile 1 are flat, as shown in Figures 1 or 2.

    Selon une autre alternative de ce premier mode de réalisation de l'invention, les parties supérieure 7 et inférieure 8 de la tuile 1 comportent au moins une concavité 13 ouverte vers le haut définissant au moins un canal 13 correspondant, dont l'axe est orienté selon la pente du toit, comme cela est illustré à la figure 6.According to another alternative of this first embodiment of the invention, the upper 7 and lower 8 parts of the tile 1 comprise the minus a concavity 13 open upward defining at least one channel 13 corresponding, whose axis is oriented according to the slope of the roof, as is illustrated in Figure 6.

    Alternativement, mais de manière similaire, tout en gardant un plan de tuile généralement plat, les parties supérieure 7 et inférieure 8 de la tuile 1 peuvent comporter une série de rainures et/ou nervures dont les axes sont orientés selon la pente du toit.Alternatively, but in a similar way, while keeping a plan Tile generally flat, the top 7 and bottom 8 of the tile 1 may comprise a series of grooves and / or ribs whose axes are oriented according to the slope of the roof.

    Selon un second mode de réalisation de l'invention, la largeur de la partie inférieure 8 de la tuile est supérieure à la largeur de la partie supérieure 7, comme cela est représenté aux figures 4, 5, 7 et 8.According to a second embodiment of the invention, the width of the lower part 8 of the tile is greater than the width of the upper 7, as shown in FIGS. 4, 5, 7 and 8.

    Ainsi, la tuile selon l'invention représentée à la figure 4 comporte une partie inférieure 8 de largeur supérieure à celle de la partie supérieure 7. En outre, une nervure 14 à but essentiellement esthétique est ménagée selon l'axe longitudinal de la tuile, dans la partie médiane de la partie inférieure 8, de sorte que la surface supérieure 6 de la tuile une fois posée fait apparaítre trois tuiles au lieu d'une seule, comme cela est montré à la figure 5. Comme cela est expliqué ci-dessus, une telle structure de tuile permet de couvrir une même surface donnée avec trois fois moins de tuiles qu'avec les tuiles connues dans l'art antérieur. Ainsi, la mise en place et la dépose sont plus faciles, donc nécessitent moins de main d'oeuvre et sont moins coûteuses. Enfin, pour une surface de toiture donnée, moins de tuiles sont nécessaires pour réalisr la couverture, on a donc moins de chevauchements entre tuiles, et donc moins de risques d'infiltrations.Thus, the tile according to the invention shown in FIG. a lower part 8 of width greater than that of the upper part 7. In addition, a rib 14 for essentially aesthetic purpose is provided according to the longitudinal axis of the tile, in the middle part of the lower part 8, of so that the upper surface 6 of the tile once laid reveals three tiles instead of just one, as shown in Figure 5. As this is explained above, such a tile structure can cover a single given surface with three times less tiles than with known tiles in the prior art. So, setting up and removing is easier, so require less manpower and are less expensive. Finally, for a given roof surface, fewer tiles are needed to realize the coverage, there is less overlap between tiles, and therefore less risks of infiltration.

    Selon une alternative de ce second mode de réalisation de l'invention, les parties supérieure 7 et inférieure 8 de la tuile 1 sont plats, comme cela est illustré aux figures 4, 5 ou 7. Comme cela est représenté à la figure 7, les bords latéraux 4 de la partie inférieure 8 de la tuile peuvent alors comporter des arches 15 dont la convexité est dirigée vers le dessus de la tuile, et dont l'axe est confondu avec l'axe longitudinal de la tuile. Ces arches 15 jouent le rôle de parties de recouvrement 11 des zones d'emboítement latérales des parties supérieures des tuiles voisines du rang inférieur.According to an alternative of this second embodiment of the invention, the upper 7 and lower 8 parts of the tile 1 are flat, as shown in FIGS. 4, 5 or 7. As shown in FIG. 7, the lateral edges 4 of the lower part 8 of the tile can then be have arches 15 whose convexity is directed towards the top of the tile, whose axis coincides with the longitudinal axis of the tile. These arches 15 play the role of overlapping portions 11 nesting areas side of the upper parts of the tiles next to the lower row.

    Selon une autre alternative - non représentée - de ce second mode de réalisation de l'invention, les parties supérieure 7 et inférieure 8 de la tuile 1 comportent une concavité 13 ouverte vers le haut définissant un canal 13 dont l'axe est orienté selon la pente du toit. De manière similaire à l'alternative décrite ci-dessus, la partie inférieure 8 peut alors comprendre le long de ses bords latéraux 4, des arches 15 dont la convexité est dirigée vers le dessus de la tuile, et dont l'axe est confondu avec l'axe longitudinal de la tuile, comme cela est représenté à la figure 8.According to another alternative - not shown - of this second embodiment of the invention, the upper 7 and lower 8 parts of the tile 1 have a concavity 13 open upward defining a channel 13 whose axis is oriented according to the slope of the roof. Similarly to the alternative described above, the lower part 8 can then comprise the along its lateral edges 4, arches 15 whose convexity is directed towards the top of the tile, and whose axis coincides with the longitudinal axis of the tile, as shown in Figure 8.

    Dans tous les modes de réalisation de l'invention décrit ci-dessus, l'angle d'inclinaison de la tuile 1, lorsqu'elle est en place sur la toiture, est de préférence compris entre 7° et 70° par rapport à l'horizontale.In all the embodiments of the invention described above, the angle of inclination of the tile 1, when it is in place on the roof, is preferably between 7 ° and 70 ° relative to the horizontal.

    De ce qui précède, il ressort que quel que soit le mode de réalisation préféré de la présente invention, trois des quatre bords de la tuile sont toujours recouverts par des tuiles adjacentes, et les bords latéraux sont recouverts sur au moins la moitié de leur longueur. Ainsi, la stabilité de la tuile et sa résistance à l'arrachement par le vent sont accrues, en particulier lorsque celui-ci est tournant ou souffle à contre-pente du toit, car aucun angle de la tuile est commun à deux bords non recouverts.From the foregoing, it appears that whatever the mode of preferred embodiment of the present invention, three of the four edges of the tile are always covered by adjacent tiles, and the side edges are covered on at least half their length. So, the stability of the tile and resistance to wind break-up are increased, particularly when this one is turning or blowing to the roof slope because no angle of tile is common to two uncovered edges.

    Outre ses excellentes capacités à résister à l'arrachement au vent, la tuile selon la présente invention permet de prévenir efficacement les infiltrations d'eau en particulier lorsque les pluies s'accompagnent d'un vent fort latéral ou à contre-pente du toit.In addition to its excellent ability to resist windbreak, the tile according to the present invention can effectively prevent water infiltration especially when the rains come with a strong wind side or at the slope of the roof.

    Tout en ayant essayé, dans la spécification qui précède, d'attirer l'attention sur les caractéristiques de l'invention jugées revêtir une importance particulière, il faut noter que l'invention ne se limite pas au mode de réalisation décrit ci-avant, mais qu'elle en embrasse au contraire toutes les variantes. C'est ainsi, notamment que la géométrie des surfaces utilisées pour la tuile, que ce soit au niveau de la partie supérieure 7 ou inférieure, peut varier grandement.While having tried, in the above specification, to attract attention to the characteristics of the invention considered to be of importance particular, it should be noted that the invention is not limited to the embodiment described above, but that it encompasses all variants. This is so, in particular that the geometry of the surfaces used for the tile, whether it is at the level of the upper part 7 or lower, may vary greatly.
