Definitions

  • the present invention concerns a binder for interlocking tiles for fastening a tile on a roof structure that include overlapping rows of tiles carried by wooden laths, the binder including a gutter member having a dog for attaching to a gutter in the tile and a straight gutter length in continuation of the dog, a lath member for interacting with the gutter member by locking means and including at least one locking hook for retention in a side of a lath facing away from the tile, and where the lath member is constituted by a first length connected with a second length that includes the at least one locking hook close to the end for fastening to the wooden lath, and where the first length of the lath member includes a hole for receiving the gutter length, the gutter length including a toothing on a narrow side edge, the toothing being retainable at a side edge of the hole by insertion of the gutter length in the hole, and where the first straight length of the lath member and the second length are mutually forming a first angle, and where the hole, the straight gutter length and the toothing are so
  • AU 521.428 B discloses a tile hold-down clip, according to the preamble of claim 1, with a first member having a distal end portion able to engage a batten and having its remaining portion in the form of a vee whereof the angle between the limbs of the vee is resiliently variable. Furthermore, the tile hold-down clip comprises a second strip member having a distal end portion able to engage a tile and having its remaining portion constituting a shank longitudinally slidable through slots in said limbs. Furthermore, means on said remaining portions to hold said distal end portions selectively spaced apart are provided.
  • Tile binders are e.g. known from EP-A-980 941 that includes such an interlocking tile binder where at least certain parts of it are constituted by injection moulded resin.
  • the said interlocking tile binder is constituted by two parts, namely a gutter part including a dog for attaching in a gutter in the tile and a lath member interacting therewith by connecting means, the lath member including a length with a right angle, in which a first angle leg constitutes a straight section extending in continuation of the gutter, and where a second angle leg extends towards the side facing away from the tile of a lath in a roof construction.
  • the latter angle leg includes teeth for achieving a good grip in the said rear lath side.
  • the said interlocking tile binder is thus adapted so that the distance between the said toothed projecting parts of the angle leg and the dog are adjustable by the mutually interacting retention means on the gutter member and the lath member, respectively.
  • This flexibility is desirable as typically there are produced various types of interlocking tiles that may have different gutter shapes and which can be used for different roof structure types that respectively may include different widths of the underlying laths to which the interlocking tiles are fastened by means of the interlocking tile binder.
  • interlocking tile binders By using said prior art interlocking tile binders is thus achieved the advantage that for several of the said types of interlocking tiles, one may use one and the same binder which is advantageous as faulty delivery of interlocking tile binders together with a load of interlocking tiles may be counteracted.
  • the possibility of faulty delivery when using traditionally shaped interlocking tile binders is very great, and since it is of very great importance to apply the correct type of interlocking tile binder to the particular roof structure/lath dimension/tile thickness, faulty delivery of interlocking tile binder with a load of interlocking tiles will mean that laying the roof of which the interlocking tiles are a part has to be postponed until the correct binders are provided.
  • interlocking tile binders An example of traditionally designed interlocking tile binders is indicated in GB A 2 101 172 in which is indicated a binder for interlocking tiles which is designed entirely of a piece of steel wire with circular cross-section which is bent with a gutter section including the dog, a spacer part which via bending and twisting of the wire continues into a lath part, the free end of which including a point attacking the underside of the lath. It is very important for an efficient securing of the interlocking tile that the distance between the dog and the transition between the gutter part and the lath part are adjusted to the distance between the tile gutter and the lath to which underside the lath part of the tile binder is fastened.
  • the width of the gutter on interlocking tiles may vary according to which type of interlocking tile is used.
  • the spacer length of the gutter part approximately corresponds to the width of the gutter in the interlocking tile.
  • the retention means between the gutter member and the lath member are provided by the gutter member including a boss protruding on the spacer length in its lateral direction and having a toothing interacting with the spacer length of the lath member in the way that the spacer length has a slot, the mutually facing sides of which having a toothing that interacts with the toothing on the said boss.
  • the boss also includes a cover plate for controlling the length of the lath member.
  • AU 43998/79 discloses a two-part fastening clip for fastening interlocking tiles to profiled steel laths that are laid on rafters.
  • the clip includes a gutter member with a spacer length including a toothing at one side edge which interacts with an angular lath member including a first upper and second lower angle leg, where the latter, free end includes a U-shaped hook for retention at a downwards directed flange on an underlying profiled steel lath.
  • the downwards directed flange of the steel lath is projected so that the flange is disposed in front of the stop boss, or rather opposite the front edge of an underlying tile, so that the U-shaped hook in the lower angle leg extends in parallel with the toothed side edge of the gutter member.
  • the angled legs of the angular lath member each includes slots for receiving the gutter length which is passed through both slots, and where the lath member is retained in the toothing on the spacer length of the gutter member, where this is passed through the hole in the first upper angle leg of the angular lath member.
  • the free end of the lath member including the U-shaped hook is furthermore extending in parallel with the gutter member length.
  • the interlocking tile binder indicated according to the invention is quite clearly aimed at application in connection with securing interlocking tiles to undersides of commonly known wooden laths with dimensions varying between 24 and 50 mm.
  • the tile binder according to the invention is just not including the lath member having double engagement with the length of the gutter member as this will imply bluntly projecting parts that are oriented against the underside of the boss on the underlying tile with above described inexpediencies.
  • the interlocking tile binder according to the invention includes, however, a less bluntly projecting part of the first length of the lath member, but the bluntly projecting end faces away from the boss of the underlying tile and is situated at a relatively large distance from it, thus without constituting any risk.
  • the gutter member advantageously may be made in band steel, and that the toothing is disposed on the narrow side edge facing away from the lath member, and furthermore that the teeth are rearwards directed away from the locking hook, as indicated in claim 3.
  • the resisting moment of the band steel is utilised optimally in connection with clamping the binder with the gutter member engaging the gutter on the tile and with the locking hook engaging the side of a lath facing away from the tile on lath in the roof construction at the underside of the tile.
  • the interlocking tile binder according to the invention and thereby roofs in which such binders form a part, it has been recognised by the invention that the gutter member and the lath member advantageously may be made of corrosion-proof metal material as indicated in claim 4.
  • the suitable, desired rigidity for such interlocking tile binders is furthermore achieved.
  • the gutter member of the interlocking tile binder and lath member are made of band steel, as indicated in claim 5.
  • this may be designed so that the first length of the lath member is designed as a U-shaped cross-section, as indicated in the characterising part of claim 6.
  • embodiments of the binder according to the invention where e.g. the lath member is made of band steel and the gutter member made of another corrosion-proof material as indicated in claim 7, are not waived, as well as it will be possible, as indicated in claim 8, to make the gutter member of band steel and the lath member in another corrosion-proof material.
  • the gutter member and the lath member may be suitable to counteract a separation of the gutter member and the lath member.
  • a separation is prevented by providing the end of the gutter length opposite the dog with a stop having a width greater than the hole in the first length of the lath member.
  • the lath member is not separated from the gutter member during the mounting work, as the lath member will slide down, at the most, so that the hole in the first length of the lath member will abut on the said stop in the gutter length.
  • the said stop can be made with an embossing as indicated in claim 10.
  • Fig. 1 is a rear view of the gutter member 4 of an interlocking tile binder according to the invention, cf. Fig. 6.
  • the gutter member includes dog 6 for fastening in a gutter 8 (cf. Fig. 7) in an interlocking tile 10 in a roof 24 including overlapping rows of tiles that are carried by common laths 26 of wood.
  • the gutter member 4 furthermore includes a straight gutter length 12 in continuation of the dog 6. Appearing from the shown embodiment of the gutter member 4, this is constituted by a flat member and near the end 40 opposite the dog 6, the gutter length 12 includes a toothing 16 on the one narrow side edge 17 of the flat member.
  • Fig. 2 is a side view of the gutter member 4 shown in Fig. 1. As it further appears, the gutter member includes a stop 42 at the free end 40 opposite the dog 6.
  • Fig. 3 is shown a front view of the lath member 18 of the interlocking tile binder 2 according to the invention.
  • the lath member 18, which is constituted by a flat body, includes a first rectilinear length 28 and a second length 30 that form an angle A with each other, cf. Fig. 4. Close to the end and opposite the transition to the second length 30, the first length includes a slotted hole 14. At the end opposite the first length, the second length 30 includes locking hooks 20 in the form of material stamped out of the second length. The said locking hooks are intended for engaging and retaining in a side 22 of lath 26 facing away from a tile, the lath 26 being a part of a roof construction 24, cf. Figs. 8 and 9.
  • the first length 28 of the lath member 18 has a U-shaped cross-section as it appears from Fig. 5.
  • the U-shape includes a considerable increase of the moment of resistance in the first length.
  • Fig. 6 which is a side view of an binder for interlocking tiles in its entirety, it is seen how the toothing of the gutter member is absorbed in the slotted hole 14 in the first length 28 of the lath member 18.
  • the stop 42 has a width which is greater than the width of the slotted hole 14 in the first length 28 of the lath member 18.
  • the lath member is safeguarded against separation from the gutter member 4.
  • Fig. 7 is a cross-sectional view of a roof construction 24 with overlapping rows of tiles 10 carried on laths 26, it is seen how a binder according to the invention is used for securing an interlocking tile 10.
  • the dog 6 is placed correctly in the gutter 8 of the interlocking tile, and that the hooks 20 in the second length 30 of the lath are brought to engage the side 22 of the lath 26 facing away from the tile 10.
  • FIG. 8 which is a section on the line AA of the roof construction in Fig. 7, is seen how an interlocking tile binder 2 according to the invention is mounted correctly for securing an interlocking tile 10 to an underlying lath 26 in the roof construction 24.
  • the dog 6 engages the gutter 8 and with the gutter length 12 oriented against an underlying lath 26 with the lath member 18 with the locking hooks 20 disposed under the underside 22 of the lath 26.
  • the interlocking tile binder 2 is correctly mounted in the roof construction 24, as the lath member 18 is displaced upwards against the interlocking tile 10 and retained in the toothing 16 on the gutter member length 12.
  • the first straight length 28 and the second length 30 of the lath member are forming a mutual angle A.
  • the first straight length 28 of the lath member forms an angle B at the gutter length 12 retained by the toothing 16.
  • the interlocking tile binder according to the invention shown and described above is made of band steel and so that the gutter member 4 is made of a narrower piece of band steel than the lath member 18 interacting therewith.
  • the interlocking tile binder may assume other forms that those described above.
  • the gutter member may be constituted by a piece of wire that includes a toothing interacting with the lath member.
  • the lath member may be envisaged as made of a piece of wire with embossing so that a slot is formed that interacts with the toothing on the gutter member, as well as it may be presupposed that the whole binder according to the invention is made of round steel.
  • the binder for interlocking tiles according to the invention is furthermore supposed to be made of corrosion-proof material, preferably metallic material.
