Positioning studs (14, 15) of one of the edges and positioning studs (16, 17) of another edge are laterally projected towards exterior. The studs of the former edge are placed opposite to the studs of the latter edge during assembling of the tiles. The studs of the tile are supported against studs of the adjacent tile. The distance between free ends of the studs corresponds to a predetermined distance. An independent claim is also included for a method for fabricating a rectangular interlocking roofing tile.

Description

L'invention concerne une tuile à emboîtement ainsi qu'un procédé de fabrication d'une telle tuile.The invention relates to an interlocking tile and a method of manufacturing such a tile.

Une tuile à emboîtement est notamment connue du document FR 2 612 227 . Celle-ci présente généralement une forme générale rectangulaire et comporte un premier et un second bords latéraux, destinés à coopérer par emboîtement avec une première et une seconde tuiles adjacentes. Une tuile selon le préambule de la revendication 1 est décrite dans le document WO 02/095160 A .An interlocking tile is notably known from the document FR 2,612,227 . This generally has a generally rectangular shape and has a first and a second side edges, intended to cooperate by interlocking with a first and a second adjacent tiles. A tile according to the preamble of claim 1 is described in the document WO 02/095160 A .

Le maintien en position des tuiles les unes par rapport aux autres est ainsi assuré, de même que l'étanchéité au niveau des zones d'emboîtement.The holding in position of the tiles relative to each other is thus ensured, as well as the sealing at the nesting areas.

Ces tuiles à emboîtement sont généralement réalisées en terre cuite et sont fabriquées de la manière suivante.These interlocking tiles are generally made of terracotta and are manufactured in the following manner.

La terre cuite, malaxée et humidifiée, passe dans une mouleuse et sort au travers d'une filière pour former un ruban. Celui-ci est coloré par poudrage de matières minérales puis découpé.The terracotta, kneaded and moistened, passes through a molding machine and out through a die to form a ribbon. It is colored by dusting with mineral substances and then cut.

Les éléments découpés sont ensuite pressés, de manière à conférer à la tuile sa forme définitive, puis sont déposés sur des supports de séchage circulant dans un séchoir-tunnel pendant plusieurs heures.The cut elements are then pressed, so as to give the tile its final shape, then are deposited on drying media circulating in a tunnel dryer for several hours.

Cette étape a pour effet d'évacuer l'humidité et engendre une variation des dimensions de la tuile.This step has the effect of evacuating moisture and causes a variation in the dimensions of the tile.

Les tuiles sèches sont ensuite chargées sur des wagons puis sont acheminées vers un four de cuisson à l'intérieur duquel elles seront cuites pendant plusieurs heures.The dry tiles are then loaded on wagons and then transported to a cooking oven where they will be cooked for several hours.

De même que précédemment, cette étape engendre également une variation des dimensions de la tuile.As before, this step also generates a variation of the dimensions of the tile.

Les tuiles présentent ainsi des dimensions différentes les unes des autres, bien que les variations dimensionnelles engendrées par les opérations de séchage et de cuisson restent généralement assez faibles.The tiles thus have dimensions that are different from each other, although the dimensional variations generated by the drying and cooking operations generally remain rather low.

Du fait des différences de dimensions entre les tuiles, un couvreur réalise une opération de calepinage lors de laquelle la dimension moyenne des tuile est calculée.Due to the differences in size between the tiles, a roofer performs a layout operation in which the average tile size is calculated.

Pour cela, le couvreur choisi un échantillon de plusieurs tuiles, par exemple 10 tuiles, qu'il dispose en file. Celui-ci mesure ensuite la dimension de la file ainsi obtenue, qu'il divise par le nombre de tuiles afin d'obtenir la dimension moyenne d'une tuile.For this, the roofer chooses a sample of several tiles, for example 10 tiles, which he has in file. He then measures the dimension of the resulting line, which he divides by the number of tiles to obtain the average dimension of a tile.

Cette opération de calepinage peut être fastidieuse à réaliser et ne permet d'obtenir qu'une dimension moyenne et donc peu précise des tuiles.This calepinage operation can be tedious to achieve and only provides an average dimension and therefore not accurate tiles.

L'invention vise à remédier à ces inconvénients en proposant une tuile dont les dimensions sont connues de manière précise, sans que le couvreur n'ait besoin de recourir à une opération préalable de calepinage.The invention aims to remedy these drawbacks by proposing a tile whose dimensions are known in a precise manner, without the roofer needing to resort to a preliminary operation calepinage.

A cet effet, l'invention concerne une tuile à emboîtement, de forme générale rectangulaire, comportant un premier et un second bords latéraux, destinés à coopérer par emboîtement avec une première et une seconde tuiles adjacentes, caractérisée en ce que chaque bord latéral comporte au moins un plot faisant saillie latéralement vers l'extérieur, le plot d'un bord étant disposé en regard du plot de l'autre bord de sorte que, lors de l'assemblage d'une pluralité de tuiles, les plots de ladite tuile viennent en appui contre les plots des tuiles adjacentes, la distance entre les extrémités libres des plots correspondant sensiblement à une distance déterminée.To this end, the invention relates to an interlocking tile, of generally rectangular shape, comprising a first and a second lateral edge, intended to cooperate by interlocking with first and second adjacent tiles, characterized in that each lateral edge comprises less a stud projecting laterally outwardly, the stud of one edge being disposed facing the stud of the other edge so that, when assembling a plurality of tiles, the studs of said tile come in abutment against the studs of the adjacent tiles, the distance between the free ends of the studs substantially corresponding to a determined distance.

De cette manière, seule la distance entre les extrémités libres des plots intervient dans le positionnement des tuiles les unes par rapport aux autres. Il est aisément possible d'obtenir, de manière industrielle, avec une bonne reproductibilité et une tolérance acceptable, une valeur prédéterminée pour une telle distance.In this way, only the distance between the free ends of the pads intervenes in the positioning of the tiles relative to each other. It is easily possible to obtain, industrially, with good reproducibility and acceptable tolerance, a predetermined value for such a distance.

Selon une caractéristique de l'invention, chaque bord latéral comporte au moins deux plots, écartés l'un de l'autre dans la direction longitudinale de la tuile.According to one characteristic of the invention, each lateral edge comprises at least two studs spaced apart from one another in the longitudinal direction of the tile.

Avantageusement, les extrémités libres des plots sont rectifiées de manière à ce que la distance entre les extrémités libres des plots correspond sensiblement à une distance déterminée.Advantageously, the free ends of the pads are ground so that the distance between the free ends of the pads substantially corresponds to a determined distance.

Selon une possibilité de l'invention, les plots et la tuile forment un ensemble monobloc.According to a possibility of the invention, the studs and the tile form a one-piece assembly.

Préférentiellement, la tuile comporte une face intérieure, destinée à être tournée vers une charpente et une surface extérieure, destinée à être tournée vers l'extérieur, la face intérieure comportant au moins un doigt de retenue, destinés à venir prendre appui sur un liteau.Preferably, the tile has an inner face, intended to be turned towards a frame and an outer surface, intended to be turned outwards, the inner face having at least one retaining finger, intended to bear against a batten.

Selon une caractéristique de l'invention, la tuile comporte deux doigts de retenue, écartés l'un de l'autre dans la direction transversale de la tuile.According to a feature of the invention, the tile has two retaining fingers, spaced from each other in the transverse direction of the tile.

Avantageusement, le premier et le second bords comportent respectivement une zone d'emboîtement mâle et une zone d'emboîtement femelle, formées chacune par un décrochement et présentant des rainures et nervures complémentaires.Advantageously, the first and the second edges respectively comprise a male interlocking zone and an interlocking zone. female, each formed by a recess and having complementary grooves and ribs.

Selon une possibilité de l'invention, la zone d'emboîtement mâle et la zone d'emboîtement femelle comportent chacune deux rainures ou nervures.According to a possibility of the invention, the male interlocking zone and the female interlocking zone each comprise two grooves or ribs.

L'invention concerne en outre un procédé de fabrication d'une tuile à emboitement de forme générale rectangulaire, du type comportant un premier et un second bords latéraux, destinés à coopérer par emboîtement avec une première et une seconde tuiles adjacentes, caractérisée en ce qu'il comporte une étape consistant à façonner, par exemple par moulage et/ou par pressage, ladite tuile en prévoyant, dans chaque bord latéral, au moins un plot faisant saillie latéralement vers l'extérieur, les plots d'un bord étant disposés en regard des plots de l'autre bord de sorte que, lors de l'assemblage d'une pluralité de tuiles, les plots de ladite tuile viennent en appui contre les plots des tuiles adjacentes, les extrémités libres des plots étant ensuite usinées, par exemple rectifiées, de manière à ce que la distance entre les extrémités libres des plots corresponde sensiblement à une distance déterminée.The invention further relates to a method of manufacturing a generally rectangular interlocking tile, of the type comprising first and second side edges, intended to cooperate by interlocking with first and second adjacent tiles, characterized in that it comprises a step of shaping, for example by molding and / or pressing, said tile by providing, in each lateral edge, at least one stud projecting laterally outwards, the studs of an edge being arranged in facing the studs of the other edge so that, when assembling a plurality of tiles, the studs of said tile bear against the studs of the adjacent tiles, the free ends of the studs then being machined, for example rectified, so that the distance between the free ends of the pads corresponds substantially to a determined distance.

Avantageusement, l'opération d'usinage est réalisée en respectant ladite distance déterminée avec une tolérance de plus ou moins 0,5 mm.Advantageously, the machining operation is performed respecting said determined distance with a tolerance of plus or minus 0.5 mm.

De toute façon, l'invention sera bien comprise à l'aide de la description qui suit en référence au dessin schématique annexé représentant, à titre d'exemple, une forme de réalisation de cette tuile.

  • Figures 1 et 2 en sont des vues en perspective, orientées de manière à rendre visible chacun des bords latéraux;
  • La figure 3 est une vue partielle, en coupe transversale, d'un assemblage de deux tuiles selon l'invention.
Anyway, the invention will be better understood with the aid of the description which follows with reference to the attached schematic drawing showing, by way of example, an embodiment of this tile.
  • Figures 1 and 2 are perspective views, oriented so as to make each of the lateral edges visible;
  • The figure 3 is a partial view, in cross section, of an assembly of two tiles according to the invention.

La figure 1 représente une tuile mécanique 1, dite à emboîtement, réalisée en terre cuite et de forme générale rectangulaire.The figure 1 represents a mechanical tile 1, said interlocking, made of terracotta and generally rectangular shape.

Celle-ci comporte une face intérieure 2, destinée à être tournée vers une charpente et une surface extérieure 3, destinée à être tournée vers l'extérieur, un bord haut 4, destiné à être orienté vers le haut de la pente d'un toit, un bord bas 5, destiné à être orienté vers le bas de la pente d'un toit, ainsi qu'un premier et un second bords latéraux 6, 7.It comprises an inner face 2, intended to be turned towards a frame and an outer surface 3, intended to be turned towards the outside, a high edge 4, intended to be oriented towards the top of the slope of a roof , a bottom edge 5, intended to be oriented downwards from the slope of a roof, as well as first and second side edges 6, 7.

Chaque bord latéral 6, 7 comporte une zone d'emboitement formée par un décrochement et équipée de nervures 8 et/ou de rainures 9.Each lateral edge 6, 7 comprises a nesting zone formed by a recess and equipped with ribs 8 and / or grooves 9.

Plus particulièrement, le décrochement ménagé au niveau du premier bord 6 est tourné vers la face intérieure 2, c'est-à-dire que la zone creusée formant le décrochement est tournée vers la charpente en position montée de la tuile 1. A l'inverse, le décrochement ménagé au niveau du second bord 7 est tourné vers la face extérieure 3, c'est-à-dire que la zone creusée formant le décrochement est tournée vers l'extérieur en position montée de la tuile 1.More particularly, the recess formed at the first edge 6 is turned towards the inner face 2, that is to say that the zone recess forming the recess is turned towards the frame in the up position of the tile 1. In contrast, the recess formed at the second edge 7 is turned towards the outer face 3, that is to say that the excavated area forming the recess is turned outward in the mounted position of the tile 1.

Le décrochement du premier bord 6 forme ainsi une aile 10 s'étendant dans le prolongement de la face extérieure 3 ainsi qu'un premier rebord 11, s'étendant sensiblement perpendiculairement à la première aile 10. Le premier rebord 11 s'étend depuis le bord haut 4, en direction du bord bas 5, sur une partie seulement de la longueur de la tuile 1.The recess of the first edge 6 thus forms a flange 10 extending in the extension of the outer face 3 and a first flange 11, extending substantially perpendicularly to the first flange 10. The first flange 11 extends from the high edge 4, towards the bottom edge 5, on only part of the length of the tile 1.

Le décrochement du second bord 7 forme une aile 12 s'étendant dans le prolongement de la face intérieure 2, ainsi qu'un second rebord 13, s'étendant sensiblement perpendiculairement à la seconde aile 12. La seconde aile 12 s'étend depuis le bord haut 4, en direction du bord bas 5, sur une partie seulement de la longueur de la tuile 1.The recess of the second edge 7 forms a wing 12 extending in the extension of the inner face 2, and a second flange 13, extending substantially perpendicularly to the second flange 12. The second flange 12 extends from the high edge 4, towards the bottom edge 5, on only part of the length of the tile 1.

La première aile 10 est munie de deux nervures 8 s'étendant vers l'intérieur, la seconde aile 12 étant munie de deux rainures 9 complémentaires, débouchant vers l'extérieur.The first flange 10 is provided with two ribs 8 extending inward, the second flange 12 being provided with two complementary grooves 9, opening outwardly.

Le premier rebord 6 comporte un premier et un second plots de positionnement 14, 15 s'étendant latéralement vers l'extérieur, c'est-à-dire parallèlement à la première aile 10. Les premier et second plots 14, 15 sont écartés l'un de l'autre, dans le sens longitudinal de la tuile 1, d'une distance comprise entre 0 et 500 mm.The first flange 6 comprises first and second positioning studs 14, 15 extending laterally outwards, that is to say parallel to the first flange 10. The first and second studs 14, 15 are spaced apart. one of the other, in the longitudinal direction of the tile 1, a distance of between 0 and 500 mm.

De même, le second rebord 7 comporte un troisième et un quatrième plots 16, 17 de positionnement s'étendant latéralement vers l'extérieur. Les troisième et quatrième plots 16, 17 sont respectivement disposés en regard des premier et second plots 14, 15.Similarly, the second flange 7 comprises a third and a fourth studs 16, 17 for positioning extending laterally outwardly. The third and fourth pads 16, 17 are respectively arranged opposite the first and second pads 14, 15.

Les extrémités des plots 14 à 17 sont rectifiées de manière à ce que la distance entre, respectivement, les extrémités libres des premier et troisième plots 14, 16, et les extrémités libres des deuxième et quatrième plots 15, 17, correspond sensiblement à une distance de 0 à 500 mm, avec une tolérance maximale de l'ordre de 0,5 mm.The ends of the pads 14 to 17 are ground so that the distance between, respectively, the free ends of the first and third pads 14, 16, and the free ends of the second and fourth pads 15, 17 substantially corresponds to a distance from 0 to 500 mm, with a maximum tolerance of the order of 0.5 mm.

La tuile 1 présente également un évidement de matière 18 débouchant vers l'intérieur ainsi que deux doigts de retenue 19, 20 faisant saillie depuis la face intérieure 2. Les deux doigts de retenue 19, 20, destinés à coopérer avec un liteau d'une charpente, sont écartés l'un de l'autre dans la direction transversale de la tuile 1 et sont ménagés à proximité du bord haut 4 de celle-ci.The tile 1 also has a recess 18 opening inwards and two retaining fingers 19, 20 projecting from the inner face 2. The two retaining fingers 19, 20, intended to cooperate with a batten of a framework, are separated from each other in the transverse direction of the tile 1 and are formed near the top edge 4 thereof.

La figure 3 représente l'emboîtement d'une première et d'une seconde tuiles 1 a, 1 b de même structure selon l'invention.The figure 3 represents the interlocking of a first and a second tiles 1 a, 1 b of the same structure according to the invention.

Comme cela apparaît sur cette figure, la première zone d'emboîtement de la première tuile 1a coopère avec la seconde zone d'emboîtement de la seconde tuile 1b. Plus particulièrement, les nervures 8 de la première tuile 1a sont insérées dans les rainures 9 de la seconde tuile 1 b. En outre, les premier et second plots 14, 15 de la première tuile 1a viennent respectivement en appui contre les troisième et quatrième plots 16, 17 de la seconde tuile 1 b.As shown in this figure, the first interlocking zone of the first tile 1a cooperates with the second interlocking zone of the second tile 1b. More particularly, the ribs 8 of the first tile 1a are inserted into the grooves 9 of the second tile 1b. In addition, the first and second pads 14, 15 of the first tile 1a respectively bear against the third and fourth pads 16, 17 of the second tile 1b.

Il est à noter que, une fois positionnées, les nervures 8 de la première tuile 1a ne prennent pas appui contre le flanc des rainures 9 de la seconde tuile 1b. De même, le bord latéral 6 de la première aile 10 de la première tuile 1 a ne prend pas appui contre le second rebord 13 de la seconde tuile 1 b.It should be noted that, once positioned, the ribs 8 of the first tile 1a do not bear against the side of the grooves 9 of the second tile 1b. Similarly, the side edge 6 of the first flange 10 of the first tile 1a does not bear against the second flange 13 of the second tile 1b.

De cette manière, il est garanti que le positionnement des tuiles 1 a, 1 b les unes par rapport aux autres n'est assuré que par les plots 14 à 17 et leur bon dimensionnement suffit à garantir le bon positionnement des tuiles 1 a, 1 b.In this way, it is ensured that the positioning of the tiles 1 a, 1 b relative to each other is only ensured by the studs 14 to 17 and their good dimensioning is sufficient to guarantee the correct positioning of the tiles 1 a, 1 b.

Il n'est alors plus nécessaire de recourir à une étape de calepinage du type exposé précédemment afin de calculer une dimension moyenne des tuiles.It is then no longer necessary to use a calepinage step of the type described above in order to calculate an average dimension of the tiles.

Comme il va de soi l'invention ne se limite pas à la forme de réalisation de ce dispositif de marquage, décrite ci-dessus à titre d'exemple, mais elle embrasse au contraire toutes les variantes.It goes without saying that the invention is not limited to the embodiment of this marking device, described above as an example, but it embraces all variants.
