Abstract

A fire barrier 1 to provide a fire safe break between the top of a party wall and a roof covering comprises a single piece support member 2 having a channel 3 for receiving a gasket 6 of fire resistant material. The support member 2 has a pair of integral sides 7, 8 which extend sidewardly thereof. The sides 7, 8 extend longitudinally beyond the channel 3 at one end thereof for overlapping with a like fire barrier 1, on assembly.

Description

    Introduction
  • The invention relates to a sealing system and in particular to a fire barrier for locations between the top of a party wall and a roof covering.
    • Statements of Invention
  • According to the invention there is provided a fire barrier to provide a fire safe break between the top of a party wall and a roof covering, the barrier comprising a single piece support member having a channel for receiving a gasket of fire resistant material and a pair of integral sides extending sidewardly thereof wherein the sides extend longitudinally beyond the channel at one end thereof for overlapping with a like fire barrier, on assembly.
  • in one embodiment the channel is a dovetail shape having an enlarged bottom portion and a narrower top portion for entrapping the gasket.
  • The sides may extend from the top portion of the channel.
  • In one embodiment at least one of the sides has an angled portion for supporting a flashing or the like. Both sides may have such angled portions.
    • Brief Description of the Drawings
  • The invention will be more clearly understood from the following description thereof given by way of example only, in which: -
    • Fig. 1 is a perspective view of a fire barrier according to the invention;
    • Fig. 2 is a perspective view of the fire barrier being assembled to a like fire barrier;
    • Fig. 3 is a perspective view of the assembled fire barriers;
    • Fig. 4 is a cross sectional view of the fire barrier; and
    • Figs. 5 to 7 are view of the fire barrier system, in use.
    Detailed Description
  • Referring to the drawings there is illustrated a fire barrier 1 according to the invention which is located in use on top of a party wall to provide a fire break between the party wall and any roof covering. The fire barrier 1 comprises a single piece support member 2 of a suitable fire resistant material such as steel. The support comprises a channel 3 of dovetail shape having an enlarged bottom portion 4 and a narrower top portion 5 for entrapping a gasket 6 of a suitable fire barrier material such as rock fibre.
  • A pair of integrated side portions 7,8 extend downwardly from the narrow top portion 5 and angled portions 9, 10 extend upwardly from the side portions 7, 8 for reception of flashings or the like.
  • The side portions 7, 8 extend longitudinally at 7a, 8a beyond the channel 3 at one end of the support member 2 for end overlapping with a like support member 2 on assembly as illustrated in Figs. 2 and 3. This feature is very advantageous because the barriers can be supplied in lightweight short lengths and readily assembled on site to form a barrier of any desired length. Hence, the barrier can be used on any roof size.
  • The invention is not limited to the embodiments hereinbefore described which may be varied in detail.

Claims (5)

  1. A fire barrier to provide a fire safe break between the top of a party wall and a roof covering, the barrier comprising a single piece support member having a channel for receiving a gasket of fire resistant material and a pair of integral sides extending sidewardly thereof wherein the sides extend longitudinally beyond the channel at one end thereof for overlapping with a like fire barrier, on assembly.
  2. A fire barrier as claimed in claim 1 wherein the channel is of dovetail shape having an enlarged bottom portion and a narrower top portion for entrapping the gasket.
  3. A fire barrier as claimed in claim 2 wherein the sides extend from the top portion of the channel.
  4. A fire barrier as claimed in any preceding claim wherein at least one of the sides has an angled portion for supporting a flashing or the like.
  5. A fire barrier as claimed in claim 4 wherein both sides have angled portions.
