Definitions

  • the present invention relates to cavity trays.
  • the invention relates particularly to a blank for forming a cavity tray or similar item.
  • a typical cavity wall consists of an inner wall and an outer wall separated by a cavity. Most of the moisture in a cavity accumulates on the inner face of the outer wall. It is known to incorporate a cavity tray into the outer wall to collect moisture from the inner wall, and from within the cavity generally, and to direct the moisture externally of the outer wall where it flows towards a drain'or the like. Cavity trays are commonly formed from lead and are made in a number of stages, typically comprising one or more welding steps. However, welded joins in the cavity tray are prone to leaking over time.
  • a lead flashing to the front edge portion of the cavity tray, such that the lead flashing extends externally of the cavity wall in order to deflect the moisture collected by the cavity tray away from the cavity wall.
  • the lead flashing is usually attached by stapling the lead flashing to the tray and providing a layer of bitumen therebetween.
  • the staples are known to rust and corrode over time and this can result in leaking between the cavity tray and the attached lead flashing.
  • cavity tray comprising a base panel; a first wall extending from a first side of the base panel; and a second wall extending from a second side of the base panel, the second side being adjacent the first side, wherein an overlap panel is provided between the first and second walls, at least a portion of the overlap panel being folded behind one or other of said first and second walls and wherein the base panel, the first and second walls and the overlap panel are formed from a substantially continuous sheet of material.
  • the sheet of material is foldable between an unfolded state, in which it is substantially planar, and a folded state, in which it forms the cavity tray.
  • the sheet comprises flexible, non-resilient material which is capable of holding the shape into which it'is folded.
  • a second aspect of the invention provides a blank for forming the cavity tray of the first aspect of the invention.
  • a third aspect of the invention provides a method of forming a cavity tray from a blank, the method comprising folding the blank along a first fold line to create a first wall; folding the blank along a third fold line, being substantially perpendicular to said first fold line, to create a second wall adjacent the first wall, the blank being shaped to provide an overlap panel between the first and second walls and wherein the method further includes folding the overlap panel behind one or other of the first and second walls.
  • FIG. 1 shows the blank 10 in an unfolded state in which it is generally planar.
  • the unfolded blank 10 is trapezium shaped comprising first and second non-parallel ends 36, 38 connected by first and second substantially parallel sides 32, 34 wherein the first end 36 is preferably substantially perpendicular to the sides 32, 34.
  • the acute angle formed between the second end 38 and the first side 32 is denoted as R.
  • the blank 10 is particularly suited for use at the junction of a vertical cavity wall and a pitched roof structure (see Figure 4). Such cavity trays are sometimes referred to as abutment cavity trays.
  • the unfolded blank 10 need not necessarily be trapezium shaped and may, for example, alternatively be substantially rectangular in shape.
  • An incision 30 is formed in the blank 10.
  • the incision 30 runs substantially perpendicular to, and opens onto, the second side 34 of the blank 10.
  • the blank 10 includes a first, a second and a third fold line 14, 18, 16 which may be tangible, for example in the form of a score line or marked line, or notional.
  • the first fold line 14 runs substantially parallel with the first end 36 of the blank 10 substantially from one side 32, 34 to the other side 34, 32 and is located between the first end 36 and the incision 30.
  • the second fold line 18 is substantially parallel with the first fold line 14 and runs between the first side 32 of the blank 10 and the end of the incision 30.
  • the third fold line 16 is substantially perpendicular with the first and second fold lines 14, 18 and runs between the first end 36 of the blank 10 and the end of the incision 30.
  • the fold lines 14, 18, 16, together with the sides and ends of the blank 10 and with the incision 30 define regions as is now described.
  • a substantially rectangular base panel 12 is defined on three sides by the first, second and third fold lines 14, 18, 16 respectively and on the fourth side by the side 32 of the blank 10.
  • a substantially rectangular back panel 20 is defined on two sides by the first and third fold lines 14, 16 respectively and on two other sides by the first end 36 and first side 32 of the blank respectively.
  • a front panel 26 is defined on one side by the first fold line 18 and the incision 30, on the opposite side by the end 38 of the blank 10 and on two further sides by the first and second sides 32, 34 of the blank respectively.
  • An overlap panel 24 is defined between the back panel 12 and the side panel 22 and is bounded by the first and third fold lines 14, 16 and by the end 36 and side 34 of the blank 10.
  • a fourth fold line 40 is provided substantially from the point of intersection X of the first and third fold lines 14, 16 and obliquely disposed, preferably at an angle of approximately 45°, with respect to both fold lines 14, 16.
  • the back panel 20 is foldable with respect to the base panel 12 along fold line 14
  • the side panel 22 is foldable with respect to the base panel 12 along fold line 16
  • the front panel 26 is foldable with respect to the base panel along fold line 18.
  • the overlap panel 24 is foldable with respect to the back panel 20 along fold line 16, with respect to the side panel 22 along fold line 14 and on itself along fold line 40.
  • the height Y of the first wall panel 20 is greater in dimension than the height P of a conventional brick 50, as shown by way of example in Figure 3.
  • the depth Z of the base panel 12 is preferably approximately the same as the depth Q of the brick 50, also shown in Figure 3.
  • the blank 10 is preferably formed from a moldable, non-resilient material which is substantially impermeable to water and which is capable of retaining any shape into which it is folded.
  • the blank 10 may be formed from metal sheeting, especially lead sheeting, or suitable plastics.
  • the blank 10 may be formed from flexible, impermeable, or waterproof, material and may be caused to retain the folded state, i.e. to define a cavity tray, by any suitable fixing means.
  • the folded state shown in Figure 2 may be retained by providing one or more studs, adhesive or other fixing means, to hold the folded overlap 24 to the back panel 20 in the position shown.
  • the blank 10 is foldable into a folded state in which it forms a cavity tray, as illustrated in Figure 2.
  • the back panel 20 and the side panel 22 are folded along the first and third fold lines 14, 16 respectively, so as to lie generally in respective mutually perpendicular planes which are also perpendicular to the base panel 12.
  • the overlap panel 24 is folded along fold line 40 and is thus amenable to be further folded or wrapped behind (with respect to the base panel 12) the back panel 20 (as shown in Figure 2 in broken outline) or behind the side panel 22 (with respect to the base panel 12).
  • the folded overlap panel 24 is folded closely against the rear of the back panel 20 or side panel 22 (as applicable) as illustrated in Figure 2.
  • the back panel 20 serves as a first, or back, wall of the tray 10 while the side panel 22 serves as a second, or side, wall.
  • the back wall 20 and side wall 22 extend or project from the obverse face of the base 12 in the same, or similar, general direction, i.e. generally upwards as viewed in Figure 2.
  • the incision 30 enables the side panel 22 to be folded independently of the front panel 26.
  • the front panel 26 is folded along fold line 18 in a direction generally opposite the direction in which back and side panels20, 22 are folded with respect to the base panel 12.
  • the front panel extends or projects away from the reverse face of the base panel 12, i.e. generally downwardly as viewed in Figure 2.
  • the front panel 26, when folded, lies in a plane which is substantially parallel with the plane in which the back plate 20 lies, as illustrated in Figure 2.
  • the front panel 26 is preferably substantially trapezium shaped as shown in Figures 1 and 2.
  • the front panel 26 may be substantially triangular.
  • the front panel 26 may be substantially rectangular (where angle R is approximately 90°).
  • the incision 30 is preferably approximately the same dimension as the height P of the brick 50. In an alternative embodiment, the incision 30 may be wider than illustrated in Figure 1 to the extent that it forms a cut-away portion (not illustrated) between the side panel 22 and the front panel 26.
  • the blank 10 in its folded state, forms a cavity tray comprised of a single or continuous sheet of material and therefore comprises no joints or seams that may become susceptible to leakage.
  • the cavity tray 10 is shown, in use, incorporated into an outer wall 52 of a cavity wall 60 (not shown in Figure 3).
  • a plurality of cavity trays 10 are incorporated into a respective brick layer of the outer wall 52 in a stepped or staggered arrangement such that the front panel 26 of one cavity tray 10 overlaps the front panel 26 of an adjacent cavity tray 10.
  • a plurality of calibrations may be provided on at least a portion of an edge 37 of the first end 36 to enable a user to align adjacent cavity trays, as desired.
  • Figure 5 shows a sectioned view of the cavity wall 60 comprising the outer wall 52 having an inner face 58, an inner wall 57, a cavity 53 defined therebetween and cavity insulation 55.
  • a second embodiment of the cavity tray 10' is shown incorporated into the outer wall 52, the second embodiment differing from the first embodiment only in respect of the shape of the front panel 26, as is described in more detail hereinafter.
  • cavity tray 10, 10' is placed in the outer wall 52 with'the back panel 20 adjacent or substantially abutting'the inner face 58 of the outer wall 52.
  • the arrangement is such that moisture running down the inner face 58 is able to pass between the inner face 58 and the back plate 20.
  • the cavity tray may be adapted so that the back panel 20 is obliquely disposed to the inner face 58 (i.e. makes an acute angle with the inner face 58) so as to extend, for example, approximately half way across the cavity 53, or even to touch the inner wall 57 of the cavity wall 60.
  • one or more channels may be formed in the, in use, upper surface of the base panel 12, the or each channel being arranged to direct moisture to the location of the fold line 18 (and hence to the exterior of the outer wall 52).
  • cavity trays 10 are shown, incorporated into an outer wall 52 adjacent which is an abutting pitched roof 54 including a plurality of roof tiles 56.
  • a conduit (not shown) is advantageously provided below the cavity trays 10 where the pitched roof 54 meets the outer wall 52 to direct collected moisture towards a drain or the like (not shown).
  • the whole length of the abutting pitched roof 54 should be protected from moisture gathering thereon in this way.
  • the angle R of the front panel 26 may be selected in order to suit the pitch of a particular abutting roof.
  • the cavity tray 10' includes a'curved tail portion 70 formed integrally with the front panel 26.
  • the curved tail portion 70 eliminates the requirement of an additional conduit, or the like, to be used, as the curved tail portion 70 would itself direct said moisture to a drain or the like.
  • Figure 6 shows the cavity tray 10 including an optional hollow, or indentation 15, provided in the base panel 12 at the side 32 and adjacent the back panel 20.
  • the hollow 15 is concave and so forms a convex protuberance in the reverse face (i.e. underside) of the.base panel 12.
  • moisture may gather in the hollow 15.
  • the shape of the hollow 15, and in particular its convex underside causes the moisture to drip from the hollow 15 downwardly into the tray 10 below (see Figure 3) and prevents the moisture from travelling along the reverse face of the base panel 12 whereupon it may escape from the cavity tray 10 and any neighboring cavity trays.
  • a third embodiment (not shown) of the cavity tray comprises a front panel which extends, in use, directly over the roof tiles 56 on the pitched roof 54, preferably being substantially in register with said roof tiles 56.
  • the front panels being overlapped and slanted over the roof tiles 56, again obviate the need for a separate conduit or the like.
  • a fourth embodiment (not shown) of the cavity tray comprises an integral second side wall panel and associated overlap panel at the side 32 of the blank 10.
  • the second side wall panel and the second overlap panel may have approximately the same shape and dimensions as the side wall panel 22 and the overlap panel 24 previously described herein, and be located substantially opposite to the panels 22, 24.
  • the second side wall panel may extend from the side 32 between the first and second fold lines 14, 18, and the second overlap panel may extend from between the first fold line 14 and the first end 36 of the blank.
  • the second side wall panel and associated overlap panel may be foldable in a manner similar to that described above in relation to the side panel 22 and overlap panel 24.
  • This fourth embodiment may be used, for example, as a so-called starter tray, which is generally used as the first tray in a series of cavity trays being built into an outer wall 52.
  • All of the preferred embodiments include the integral second wall panel 26. Therefore, the one-piece structure of the cavity tray of the present invention eliminates the need for a separate lead flashing and for a joint or seam for attaching same.
  • the cavity tray formed from the blank 10 of the present invention has been described primarily as an abutment.cavity tray, the cavity tray may be adapted as necessary to be used as, for example, a horizontal cavity tray (at the junction between vertical cavity wall's and flat roof structures); a parapet cavity tray; or a lintel cavity tray.
