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 emboîtements.The present invention relates to an interlocking tile.

Dans le domaine des tuiles à emboîtements 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 commonly used for roofing of buildings, a recurring problem that arises is the resistance to pulling by the wind.

Traditionnellement, les tuiles à emboîtement 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 upper edge called "leading edge", a lower edge called "tail edge", two side edges, an upper surface that can have different shapes or reliefs, and a lower surface generally provided with tenons or blocks directed downwards, which are used to attach the tile on the battens or battens of the frame.

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 comprise a system of upwardly concave grooves which are disposed along the leading edge and along a first side edge, and also include a downwardly directed flange system. 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 overlies the head groove of the lower row tile with respect to the roof slope direction, and the side edge overlies the lateral groove of the adjacent tile. Thus, for a given tile, 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, during a violent storm or during a storm, and particularly when the direction of the wind is substantially contrary to the slope of the roof or when it blows sideways by attacking each tile on the side of its uncoated side edge, the risk of tearing tiles is important. Indeed, the angle of the tile which is common to the two uncoated edges, is a point of low resistance to lifting since no weight is applied to 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 which include a hooking system on the battens or battens, at the angle common to the uncovered edges of the tile. Such attachment can be achieved by nailing with a point which passes through 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 the tread supporting the tile. The attachment can also be achieved by pannetonage, that is to say by means of a hook or a loop located at the lower surface of the tile in the region of the angle not covered with said tile, and which is fixed on the battens or battens supporting the tile.

Une tuile à emboîtements selon le préambule de la revendication 1 est décrite dans DE 539600 C .An interlocking tile according to the preamble of claim 1 is described in DE 539600 C .

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 all cases, these solutions are not entirely satisfactory because they require a tedious implementation, and therefore expensive 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 that is very resistant to wind-stripping and avoids the disadvantages mentioned above.

Cet objectif est atteint avec une tuile à emboîtements 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, la tuile comprenant en outre deux parties possédant sensiblement la même longueur, à savoir:

  1. (i) une partie supérieure en forme générale de plateau, réceptrice de l'eau du rang supérieur de tuiles, présentant des emboîtements tournés vers le haut, le long de son bord de tête et de ses deux bords latéraux, et
  2. (ii) une partie inférieure située sensiblement dans le prolongement de la partie supérieure et bordée latéralement par deux parties de recouvrement des emboîtements latéraux de la partie supérieure des tuiles voisines du rang inférieur, le bord de queue de la tuile comportant un emboîtement de recouvrement des deux tuiles voisines, à sensiblement mi-longueur de celle-ci, et de la tuile du rang inférieur dans son emboîtement de tête, la largeur de la partie inférieure de la tuile étant supérieure à la largeur de la partie supérieure.
This objective is achieved with a nesting tile 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 laterally, the tile further comprising two parts having substantially the same length, namely:
  1. (i) a generally tray-shaped upper water-receiving portion of the upper row of tiles, having upwardly facing interlockings, along its leading edge and both of its side edges, and
  2. (ii) a lower portion located substantially in the extension of the upper part and laterally bordered 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 interlocking two neighboring tiles, substantially mid-length thereof, and the tile of the lower row in its interlocking head, the width of the lower part of the tile being greater than the width of the upper part.

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 downwards, in its entirety or only in its central zone, 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.According to a first embodiment of the invention, it is a flat tile or slightly curved, generally rectangular shape.

Les exemples dans les figures 1,2,3 et 6 ne sont pas couverts par les revendications et sont présentés non pas comme des modes de réalisation de l'invention, mais comme exemples utiles à la compréhension de l'invention.The examples in Figures 1,2,3 and 6 are not covered by the claims and are presented not as embodiments of the invention, but as examples useful for understanding the invention.

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 Figure 1, has a leading edge 2 and a tail edge 3, which correspond to the short sides of the tile, and two side edges 4. It has a lower face 5, and an upper face 6 most of which is an apparent surface 6 when multiple tiles are assembled to form a cover.

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 tile or slightly curved, intended to be fixed according to the rules of the art to battens (or flights) 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 fired at high temperature according to methods known to those skilled in the art.

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

  1. (i) une partie supérieure 7 en forme générale de plateau, réceptrice de l'eau du rang supérieur de tuiles, présentant des emboîtements 10 tournés vers le haut, le long de son bord de tête 2 et de ses deux bords latéraux 4, et
  2. (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 emboîtements latéraux 10 de la partie supérieure 7 des tuiles voisines du rang inférieur, le bord de queue 3 de la tuile 1 comportant un emboîtement de recouvrement 10 des deux tuiles voisines, à sensiblement mi-longueur de celle-ci, et de la tuile du rang inférieur dans son emboîtement de tête 2.
In order to solve the tearing resistance problems set forth in the preamble, the interlocking tile 1, as shown in FIGS. 1 or 2, comprises two parts having substantially the same length, namely:
  1. (i) an upper, generally tray-shaped upper water-receiving portion 7 of the upper row of tiles with upwardly-facing interlockings, along its leading edge 2 and both of its lateral edges 4, and
  2. (ii) a lower part 8 located substantially in the extension of the upper part 7 and laterally bordered 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 interlock 10 of the two neighboring tiles, substantially mid-length thereof, and the lower row of tiles in its head socket 2.

, 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., The lower part 8 of the tile 1 is offset downward with respect to the upper part 7, thus creating two upper and lower levels, separated by a "step nose" 12, disposed transversely about half the length of the tile .

, La a tuile 1 peut être plate, de forme générale rectangulaire.The tile 1 may be flat, of generally rectangular shape.

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'emboîtement 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 one tile gives the appearance of two tiles. In addition, since a tile is rectangular, the interlocking zones 10 of the upper part 7 reduce the apparent surface of this upper part 7, so when several tiles are in place on a roof, and even if they are rectangular and arranged behind the others as shown in Figure 2, at the corners of each tile correspond not four adjacent tiles, but only three adjacent tiles. Thus the overlaps of one tile to another are reduced, and therefore 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.Sealing is also improved by the fact that the joining zones are made between three tiles instead of four tiles usually.

Les parties supérieure 7 et inférieure 8 de la tuile 1 peuvent être plats, comme cela est illustré aux figures 1 ou 2.The upper 7 and lower 8 portions of the tile 1 may be flat, as shown in Figures 1 or 2.

Les parties supérieure 7 et inférieure 8 de la tuile 1 peuvent comporter 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.The upper 7 and lower 8 parts of the tile 1 may comprise at least one upwardly open concavity 13 defining at least one corresponding channel 13, the axis of which is oriented along the slope of the roof, as illustrated in FIG. .

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 similarly, while maintaining a generally flat tile plan, the upper 7 and lower 8 portions 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 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 the invention, the width of the lower part 8 of the tile is greater than the width of the upper part 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 apparaître 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. 4 comprises a lower portion 8 of greater width than that of the upper portion 7. In addition, a rib 14 with an essentially aesthetic purpose is formed along the longitudinal axis of the tile, in the middle part of the lower part 8, so that the upper surface 6 of the tile once laid out shows three tiles instead of one, as shown in Figure 5. As explained above such a tile structure makes it possible to cover the same given surface with three times less tiles than with the tiles known in the prior art. Thus, the introduction and removal are easier, so require less labor and are less expensive. Finally, for a given roof surface, fewer tiles are necessary to achieve the coverage, so there is less overlap between tiles, and therefore less risk of infiltration.

Selon une alternative 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'emboîtement latérales des parties supérieures des tuiles voisines du rang inférieur.According to an alternative of the invention, the upper 7 and lower 8 parts of the tile 1 are flat, as is illustrated in FIGS. 4, 5 or 7. As shown in FIG. 7, the lateral edges 4 of the part lower 8 of the tile may then comprise arches 15 whose convexity is directed towards the top of the tile, and whose axis coincides with the longitudinal axis of the tile. These arches 15 serve as overlapping portions 11 of the lateral interlocking zones of the upper parts of the tiles close to the lower row.

Selon une autre alternative - non représentée - 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 the invention, the upper 7 and lower 8 parts of the tile 1 comprise a concavity 13 open upward defining a channel 13 whose axis is oriented along the slope of the roof. In a manner similar to the alternative described above, the lower part 8 can then comprise, along its lateral edges 4, arches 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 ° with respect 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 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 over at least half their length. . Thus, the stability of the tile and its resistance to tearing by the wind are increased, especially when it is rotating or blowing against the slope of the roof, because no corner of the 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 withstand wind stripping, the tile according to the present invention can effectively prevent water infiltration especially when the rains are accompanied by a strong wind side or counter slope of the roof.
