Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a tile particularly for providing roofings.
  • Tiles that have a substantially rectangular plan shape and an approximately sinusoidal transverse cross-section, constituted by a convex portion that is contiguous to a concave portion, are currently used to provide roofings.
  • Such tiles are made of rigid materials, such as clay hardened by firing or plastic or metal.
  • Grooves are formed on the upper surface of such known types of tile, proximate to their rear perimetric edge directed toward the ridge of the roof during use, and are approximately parallel to each other and to such rear perimetric edge; a tooth protrudes from the lower face surface of the tiles, proximate to their front perimetric edge directed during use toward the gutter line of the roof and is shaped so that it can be accommodated within the grooves of a further tile.
  • Such known types of tile are arranged mutually side-by-side, with the convex region of one tile partially superimposed and rested on the concave region of the adjacent tile, so as to constitute a plurality of rows that are approximately parallel to each other and to the ridge of the roof; the tiles of one row rest on the tiles of the row arranged in front of it, arranging the teeth that protrude from the tiles of the rear row within the seats of the tiles of the forward row.
  • Flat tiles are also known which are constituted by a flat plate, which has an approximately rectangular plan shape and on the upper surface of which, proximate to its rear perimetric edge (which during use is directed toward the ridge of the roof) and to one of its two lateral perimetric edges, there are approximately rectilinear seats, which are arranged substantially parallel to each other and to the contiguous perimetric edge of the plate.
  • rectilinear protrusions protrude approximately at right angles from the lower surface of the plate, proximate to its front perimetric edge (which during use is directed away from the ridge of the roof) and proximate to its lateral perimetric edge that is not affected by such seats; such protrusions have such a shape and arrangement that they can be positioned in the underlying seats of a further tile, on which the one being considered is partially superimposed to the rear or laterally.
  • tile are arranged so as to cover the slopes of a roof, arranging them laterally adjacent to each other so as to constitute a plurality of horizontal rows, in which each row is partially covered by the row arranged behind it.
  • the tiles of one row must be staggered with respect to the tiles of the contiguous rows, and this can affect negatively the overall aesthetics of the resulting roof; this further entails that the two tiles arranged at the end of approximately half of the rows must be narrower than the other tiles, with a consequent increase in production, storage and transport costs.
  • the aim of the present invention is to solve the above-mentioned problems, eliminating the drawbacks of the cited background art, by providing a tile that allows to obtain roofs whose upper surface is substantially flat, even with slopes of limited inclination, at the same time ensuring effective water draining.
  • an object of the invention is to provide a tile that allows to obtain a ventilated roof whose upper surface is substantially flat.
  • Another object of the invention is to provide a tile that allows to also cover roofs having a curved profile, ensuring that the continuity of the roofing is maintained.
  • Another object of the invention is to maintain low production, storage, transport and laying costs.
  • Another object is to provide a tile that is structurally simple and has low production costs.
  • a tile particularly for providing roofings, constituted by a substantially flat plate that has an approximately square or rectangular plan shape, characterized in that said plate comprises, proximate to a first side and a second side thereof, which are not contiguous, first means for pivoting between two of said plates in a laterally adjacent and partially overlapping condition and, proximate to a third side and a fourth side thereof, which are not contiguous, second means for pivoting between two of said plates arranged so that one is in front of the other and so that they are partially superimposed.
  • Figures 16 is a sectional view, taken along the line XII-XII of Figure 9 , of two tiles according to the invention, mutually connected and inclined with respect to each other.
  • the reference numeral 1 designates a tile, constituted by a plate 2, which has an approximately square or rectangular plan shape and is substantially flat and is preferably but not necessarily made of fired clay.
  • first and second sides 3, 4 are arranged, during use, approximately at right angles to the ridge and the gutter line of the slope of the roof, not shown in the accompanying figures, to which the tile 1 is applied.
  • a third side 5 and a fourth side 6 of the plate 2 which are not mutually contiguous, there are second means for pivoting between two plates 2 arranged so that one lies in front of the other and the tiles are partially superimposed; in the embodiment shown in the accompanying figures, the third and fourth sides 5, 6 are arranged during use approximately parallel to the ridge and to the gutter line of the slope of the roof to which the tile 1 is applied, with the third side 5 directed toward the ridge and the fourth side 6 directed toward the gutter line.
  • the first pivoting means comprise advantageously a first tab 7, which protrudes from the first side 3 of the plate 2 and has an approximately rectangular or isosceles-trapezoid plan shape and, in transverse cross-section, an arc-like and preferably substantially semicircular configuration, so as to form a concave surface 8 that during use is directed away from the slope of the roof, not shown in the accompanying figures.
  • the first tab 7 further has, in a side view, approximately the shape of a right-angled trapezoid, with the shorter parallel side arranged proximate to the fourth side 6 of the plate 2.
  • the first tab 7 thus forms, at its concave surface 8, a duct for draining water.
  • an outer longitudinal perimetric edge 7a of the first tab 7 that is directed away from the first side 3 of the plate 2 lies on a plane that is approximately parallel to, and lower than, the plane of arrangement of the plate 2, at a distance from the latter, therefore in the direction of the underlying slope of the roof, that is approximately equal to the thickness of the plate 2.
  • the first tab 7 protrudes to the rear of the first plate 2, beyond the third side 5 thereof.
  • the first protrusion 9 is inclined so as to form an acute angle in the direction of the fourth side 6.
  • One or more first teeth 10 protrude from the concave surface 8 of the first tab 7 proximate to its longitudinal perimetric edge 7a and are directed toward the first side 3 to affect partially the width of the first tab 7, without affecting the portion in which the first protrusion 9 is present.
  • first projections 11 protrude from the concave surface 8 of the first tab 7, proximate to the longitudinal perimetric edge 7a, are adapted to facilitate the draining of the water thereon, and are preferably inclined with respect to the longitudinal perimetric edge 7a, so as to form an acute angle with the edge 7a in the direction of the third side 5.
  • the longitudinal perimetric edge 7a of the first tab 7 there are, starting from a front transverse end 7b and a rear transverse end 7c of the first tab 7, two recesses, respectively designated by the reference numerals 12a and 12b.
  • At least one second tooth 14 and at least one third tooth 15 protrude from a convex surface 13 of the first tab 7, proximate to its rear transverse end 7c; the second tooth 14 is arranged on a central longitudinal axis of the first tab 7 and the third tooth 15 is arranged on an axis that is parallel and slightly offset axially in the direction of the longitudinal perimetric edge 7a; the second and third teeth 14, 15 constitute means for resting the tile 1 on the slope of the roof.
  • Such resting means further comprise a second protrusion 16, which in a side view preferably has an arc-like profile and protrudes approximately at right angles and longitudinally from a lower surface 2a of the plate 2, in a region that is adjacent to the second side 4.
  • such first pivoting means comprise a second tab 17, which protrudes approximately at right angles from the lower surface 2a of the plate 2, at the edge of the second side 4 thereof, preferably along the entire length of said second side 4.
  • one or more fourth teeth 18 protrude from a second tab 17 to affect also the lower surface 2a of the plate 2 in the direction of the first tab 7.
  • the second tab 17 can be positioned, during use, within one first tab 7 of a further tile 1, and can perform a transverse translational motion with respect to the first tab 7, in order to adjust the distance between the two mutually laterally adjacent tiles 1.
  • the translational motion of the second tab 17 within the first tab 7 is delimited by two stroke limit positions defined respectively by the abutment of the second tab 17 against the edge of the plate 2 at the blending surface 3a between the concave surface 8 and the first side 3 of the plate 2 and by the abutment of the fourth teeth 18 against the first teeth 10 of the first tab 7.
  • the second pivoting means comprise a third tab 19, which protrudes from the third side 5 of the plate 2 and has an approximately rectangular plan shape, which is blended transversely to the first tab 7 proximate to the rear transverse end 7c thereof.
  • the third tab 19 lies on a plane of arrangement that is approximately parallel to, and lower than, the plane of arrangement of the plate 2, at a distance from the latter, therefore in the direction of the underlying slope of the roof, that is approximately equal to the thickness of the plate 2.
  • the third tab 19 comprises a first portion 20, which is contiguous to the first tab 7 and in which there is, approximately starting from the third side 5 of the plate 2 and along part of its length, a channel 21, which is open upward and preferably has, in a transverse cross-section, a substantially semicircular shape and ends at one end at the concave surface 8 of the first tab 7, so as to convey therein any water that might accumulate thereat;
  • the channel 21 is arranged along a longitudinal axis that is inclined with respect to the plane of arrangement of the plate 2, so as to facilitate the draining of water from the channel 21 to the first tab 7.
  • the third tab 19 comprises a second portion 22, whose upper surface is approximately flat or slightly arc-like, and is arranged on the opposite side with respect to the first tab 7.
  • a third protrusion 23 that constitutes such resting means of the tile 1 protrudes, approximately at right angles and transversely to the plate 2, from the surface of the third tab 19 that is directed toward the lower surface 2a of the plate 2.
  • Such second pivoting means further comprise a fourth tab 24, which protrudes approximately at right angles from the fourth side 6 of the plate 2 toward the underlying slope of the roof, approximately starting from the first side 3 of the plate 2, and affects the fourth side 6 along a length that is approximately equal to the length of the first portion 20 of the third tab 19; a seat 25 is formed between the fourth tab 24 and the second tab 17, and the second portion 22 of the third tab 19 of an additional tile 1 arranged in front and below is arranged at the seat 25.
  • the fourth tab 24 can be positioned, during use, within the channel 21 formed in the first portion 20 of the third tab 19 of an additional tile 1, and can perform a translational motion transversely to the channel 21 in order to obtain the chosen distance between the two tiles 1; as shown in Figures 13 and 14 , the translational motion of the fourth tab 24 within the channel 21 is delimited by two stroke limit positions defined by the abutment of the fourth tab 24 against the lateral surface of the channel 21.
  • the plate 2 of each tile 1 covers the first tab 7 of the plate that is contiguous to its second side 4 and the third tab 19 of the plate that is contiguous to its third side 5, the upper surface of the roof that is obtained is substantially planar, since it is formed substantially by the plates 2, all of which are approximately coplanar and are laterally mutually adjacent at a chosen mutual distance.
  • Draining of rainwater is in any case ensured by the presence of the channel 21 and of the first tab 7.
  • first tab 7 and of the resting means in the tiles 1 forms, between the tiles 1 and the underlying slope of the roof, a chamber, not shown in the accompanying figures, which is sufficient to allow ventilation of the roof.
  • first and second pivoting means allows to use the tile according to the invention also to provide curved roofs, since said first and second pivoting means allow to maintain the connection between two contiguous tiles even in case of a large rotation of one tile with respect to the other.
  • the production costs of the tile according to the invention remain low, since it is provided only by means of components that are easy to manufacture and/or assemble.
