Definitions
- the present invention relates to a roof provided with a roof covering and a safety device which engages thereon.
- a roof of this type is generally known in the state of the art.
- EP 2,167,758 in the name of the patent proprietor is mentioned, in which a safety device with a supporting part and a sealing covering secured thereto is described. Said sealing covering is attached to the existing roof covering by bonding.
- the peak load which can act on a safety device is exerted on the roof covering material by such an adhesive bond and that the roof covering material is sufficiently strong to absorb such peak loads.
- Such a permanent load may, for example, be formed by coupling a number of safety devices by means of a cable, in which case an individual who is situated on the roof can attach themselves to such a cable.
- a cable should preferably be taut so that it does not touch the roof covering. It has been found that when it is installed on the existing roof covering by means of bonding, glueing or the like, this will always result in creep in the long run, particularly at slightly elevated temperatures, as a result of which the cable will touch the roof.
- WO2007/089139 A2 discloses a fall protection system for an individual on a roof.
- the system is connected to the roof covering by means of a pin which is introduced into a hole in the roof covering, which results in a disadvantageous load concentration on the roof covering.
- EP1698747 A2 also discloses a fall protection system for an individual on a roof.
- the system is connected to the structure of the roof covering which is situated underneath by means of, for example, screws. In certain circumstances, this connection to the structure situated underneath is undesirable.
- a safety device which can absorb relatively large loads, both static and dynamic.
- this object is achieved by a roof according to claim 1.
- the safety device consists of a base part and a supporting part.
- the base part is fitted underneath the existing roof coveririg and the supporting part is arranged on the existing roof covering.
- fastening means By drilling through preferably only the roof covering, it is possible to fit fastening means by means of which the base part is pulled against the supporting part, as a result of which the existing roof covering is clamped in a very secure manner.
- fastening means can exert large forces, it is only necessary to use a single or a few fastening means and no further measures are necessary to close off the drill holes which have been made if the surface area is sufficient and both the supporting part and the base part are shaped correspondingly. After all, since roof covering generally consists of slightly deformable material, sealing can be effected, by pulling two relatively large surfaces against each other at the location of the fastening means.
- the base part can be fitted underneath the roof covering in any conceivable way.
- the supporting part comprises a carrier part and a sealing covering which extends around the latter, wherein the base part is provided with a rib and the carrier part with a recess accommodating the rib, said carrier part being elongate.
- a cut is made in the roof covering, as a result of which the base part can be pushed underneath the roof covering.
- the person fitting the safety device can place the base part very accurately in the desired position after the roof covering has been fitted.
- the roof structure situated underneath will not be subjected to drilling through or the like, it is not necessary to take into account the circumstances of the part of the roof structure which is situated underneath the base part, such as whether or not the parts are load-bearing parts. In principle, this is identical to the remaining part of the roof structure which is situated underneath the roof covering.
- the cut in question may be a single straight cut through which the base part is pushed in like some kind of envelope. It is also possible to configure this cut to be U-shaped, as a result of which a part of the roof covering web can be folded up slightly, thus making introduction of the base part easier. The latter is important as the base part is not flat but is provided with relief of some kind.
- the base part comprises one or more ribs which are positioned underneath corresponding recesses in the supporting part for clamping the roof covering between the ribs and recesses, thus producing an even stronger engagement of the roof covering between the supporting part and the base part. Such ribs may extend substantially at right angles to the intended directiowof load of the safety device. It is also possible to use local indentations or dimples in addition to ribs, in which case the fastening means are fitted at the location of the dimples, or at the ribs.
- the supporting part may be, for example, an aluminium profile or different metal and/or plastic profile which is provided with attachment means for introducing the forces into the safety device.
- attachment means for introducing the forces into the safety device.
- a structure is mentioned in which an eyelet or other attachment means is present which is pivotable about a substantially horizontal axle which is situated in the carrier part and preferably at a position as close as possible to the surface of the roof or the roof covering.
- the above-described sealing covering may comprise a web of flexible bituminous or adhesive material which ensures that the remaining part of the roof covering is sealed in a manner known in the prior art. As said sealing covering is also sealed with respect to the carrier part, the sealing at the location of the fastening means is less critical, as described above.
- the base part is fitted through the above-described cut first and then the roof covering is sealed by any kind of method, but before the supporting part is applied.
- This may be achieved, for example, by providing a partly adhesive or bituminous material over the cut which may be cut to size by the respective individual in situ.
- only the openings for the fastening means which are to be fitted subsequently or the fastening means themselves which extend from the support part (bolts) are visible after the base part and sealing have been fitted.
- the cut for introducing the base part has to be made in such a manner that when a pulling force is exerted on the carrier part or the attachment means arranged thereon, said pulling force is transmitted into the roof covering.
- the cut is preferably situated on or before the point of engagement of the force on the carrier part (in the vertical direction). If the cut is U-shaped, this is true in particular for the body part of the U.
- the invention also relates to a method for installing a safety device on a roof with roof covering, according to claim 7.
- the invention will be described in more detail below by means of an example in which reference is made to a horizontal flat roof 1. It will be understood that the -roof 1 may be at a slight angle. What is important is that such a roof is provided wit-h one or more webs of roof covering 2 which may or may not be fixedly attached to the roof. Instead of fixed attachment means on the roof, it is possible to use ballasting or another way of affixing to ensure the roof covering 2 remains in place, even with wind loads acting on the roof.
- the roof covering web is preferably a sheet-type material web. By way of example, a web of bituminous material, with fabric is mentioned. Another possibility is a plastic (EPDN) material which may or may not be provided with a (fabric) reinforcement. Such a web of roof covering material makes the roof covering watertight.
- Each safety device consists of a supporting part 4 which is arranged above the roof covering 2 and provided with a tilting eyelet 5 to which a line can be attached by means of which a person situated on the roof can secure themselves.
- a continuous cable may be provided between various safety devices 3, in which case a person situated on the roof can secure themselves to said cable.
- the safety device 3 is installed in such a manner that it can absorb forces in the direction of arrow 16.
- Fig. 2 shows details of a safety device 3 in the fitted state.
- a base part 7 is situated underneath the roof covering 2 and that this is situates, just like the roof covering 2, on the part 17 of the roof structure situated underneath which is not modified in any way at the location of the base part 7.
- this will be the upper side of a roof structure, such as the top side of an insulating layer or some other boarding.
- Base part 7 is a substantially flat part which is provided with one or more ribs or convex shapes 8 in which nuts or the like may be fitted at predetermined fixed positions.
- indentations disimples
- the fastening means can then be arranged in the centre of such indentations or in the ribs.
- the base part 7 may be attached to the structure situated underneath, but it is preferable not to do this.
- a supporting part 4 which is made up of a carrier part 12 which is configured as an elongate wing-shaped profile.
- a sealing covering 6 such as a web of bituminous or adhesive material, is attached which extends beyond the profile on all sides around the profile.
- the profile 12 is provided with openings 19 in which bolts 11 are inserted which extend through the roof covering web and are connected to nuts 9.
- one or more recesses 10 are provided at the location of the openings 19 and preferably extend along the entire length of the wing profile 12, which recesses 10 are configured in accordance with rib 8 or slightly larger.
- the base plate 7 When tightening the bolt 11, the base plate 7 will be pulled towards the profile 12 due to the presence of nut 9 and, in the process, accommodate in a clamping manner at least the roof covering 2 and optionally the sealing covering 6 in between if this extends across the entire surface of the profile 12. However, the latter is not imperative. Due to the presence of the rib 8 and the recess 10, the roof covering will be clamped in between very securely in any case. If desired, several bolts 11 are provided in line, as a result of which said clamping force is increased further. It will be understood that the base part may be provided with bolts extending through the roof covering to which the supporting part is attached by means of nuts.
- Fig. 3 shows a detailed view of the various parts which make up the safety device.
- the sealing covering can be sealingly attached to the existing roof covering. This may be effected by means of blowtorching, glueing or the like.

- Fig. 4c diagrammatically shows how the base part 7 is introduced in the direction of arrow 20.
- the base part 7 can be placed in the space situated underneath the flap, but it is also possible to slide this further to a deeper position underneath the roof covering.
- the base part will preferably be situated completely below the roof covering underneath the cut.
- a part of the base plate 7 to remain extending above the roof covering 2.
- the supporting part 4 can be displaced in the direction of arrow 21 and be placed on to the base part and the roof covering 2 situated.
- the roof covering 2 is drilled through at the location of the opening 19. This can be carried out using an awl, but it is also possible to provide the bolt 11 with a (self-aligning) cutting end at its free end.
- the bolt 11 is introduced further into the opening 19 and positioned opposite nut 9.
- bolt 11 is tightened by means of tool 18 resulting in clamping of the base plate and profile 12.
- a blowtorch 22 can be used to adhere the sealing covering 6 to the existing roof covering 2. Glueing or another attachment means is also possible.
- Fig. 5a and b show a particular embodiment of a part of a safety device according to the invention.
- the base plate assembly 26 consists of a number of base parts 27 shown in the preceding figures.
- the base parts 27 extend across the roof and are in this case arranged at a mutual angle and connected to each other. In the illustrated embodiment, every pair of three base parts 27 is arranged at a mutual angle of 1.20°.
- An advantage of this embodiment is the fact that the loadability of the safety device is improved and, in addition, is less dependent on the direction of the applied load.
- the base plate assembly 26 is rotated about its central axis 30 and a central opening 29 offers the freedom to slide the base plate assembly 26 underneath the roof covering 2 while the rotation is being carried out.

Description
- The present invention relates to a roof provided with a roof covering and a safety device which engages thereon.
- A roof of this type is generally known in the state of the art. By way of example,
EP 2,167,758 in the name of the patent proprietor is mentioned, in which a safety device with a supporting part and a sealing covering secured thereto is described. Said sealing covering is attached to the existing roof covering by bonding. - It has been found that the peak load which can act on a safety device is exerted on the roof covering material by such an adhesive bond and that the roof covering material is sufficiently strong to absorb such peak loads.
- As a result thereof, it is possible to install a safety device for absorbing peak loads on an existing roof and more particularly a flat roof without having to drill through the roof structure.
- It has also been found that if a permanent load acts on the safety device, such a construction does not work. Such a permanent load may, for example, be formed by coupling a number of safety devices by means of a cable, in which case an individual who is situated on the roof can attach themselves to such a cable. Such a cable should preferably be taut so that it does not touch the roof covering. It has been found that when it is installed on the existing roof covering by means of bonding, glueing or the like, this will always result in creep in the long run, particularly at slightly elevated temperatures, as a result of which the cable will touch the roof.
- A solution has been provided in the prior art for this problem as well and reference is made in this respect to the unpublished application
1,038,186 -
WO2007/089139 A2 discloses a fall protection system for an individual on a roof. The system is connected to the roof covering by means of a pin which is introduced into a hole in the roof covering, which results in a disadvantageous load concentration on the roof covering. -
EP1698747 A2 also discloses a fall protection system for an individual on a roof. The system is connected to the structure of the roof covering which is situated underneath by means of, for example, screws. In certain circumstances, this connection to the structure situated underneath is undesirable. -
DE 202004018587 discloses the features of the preamble ofclaims 1 and 7. - It is an object of the present invention to provide a roof with a safety device in which the part of the roof structure situated near the roof covering does not have to be modified, that is to say does not have to be provided with, for example, openings or fastening means. On the other hand, it is an object to provide a safety device, which can absorb relatively large loads, both static and dynamic.
- According to the present invention, this object is achieved by a roof according to claim 1.
- According to the present invention, the safety device consists of a base part and a supporting part. According to the present invention, the base part is fitted underneath the existing roof coveririg and the supporting part is arranged on the existing roof covering. By drilling through preferably only the roof covering, it is possible to fit fastening means by means of which the base part is pulled against the supporting part, as a result of which the existing roof covering is clamped in a very secure manner.
- As the fastening means can exert large forces, it is only necessary to use a single or a few fastening means and no further measures are necessary to close off the drill holes which have been made if the surface area is sufficient and both the supporting part and the base part are shaped correspondingly. After all, since roof covering generally consists of slightly deformable material, sealing can be effected, by pulling two relatively large surfaces against each other at the location of the fastening means.
- The base part can be fitted underneath the roof covering in any conceivable way.
- The supporting part comprises a carrier part and a sealing covering which extends around the latter, wherein the base part is provided with a rib and the carrier part with a recess accommodating the rib, said carrier part being elongate. As a result thereof, it is possible to transform the exerted point load on the attachment means which is caused by a fall or the like into a line load which is distributed over a relatively large surface area of the existing roof covering, as a result of which very high loads are possible.
- According to the present invention, a cut is made in the roof covering, as a result of which the base part can be pushed underneath the roof covering. Thus, the person fitting the safety device can place the base part very accurately in the desired position after the roof covering has been fitted.
- Since, according to the present invention, the roof structure situated underneath will not be subjected to drilling through or the like, it is not necessary to take into account the circumstances of the part of the roof structure which is situated underneath the base part, such as whether or not the parts are load-bearing parts. In principle, this is identical to the remaining part of the roof structure which is situated underneath the roof covering.
- The cut in question may be a single straight cut through which the base part is pushed in like some kind of envelope. It is also possible to configure this cut to be U-shaped, as a result of which a part of the roof covering web can be folded up slightly, thus making introduction of the base part easier. The latter is important as the base part is not flat but is provided with relief of some kind. The base part comprises one or more ribs which are positioned underneath corresponding recesses in the supporting part for clamping the roof covering between the ribs and recesses, thus producing an even stronger engagement of the roof covering between the supporting part and the base part. Such ribs may extend substantially at right angles to the intended directiowof load of the safety device. It is also possible to use local indentations or dimples in addition to ribs, in which case the fastening means are fitted at the location of the dimples, or at the ribs.
- If the cut extends beyond or outside the supporting part after it has been made, it is necessary to ensure that it is watertight. According to the invention, this ise achieved in a particularly simple manner by constructing the supporting part from a carrier part and a sealing covering extending around the latter. The carrier part may be, for example, an aluminium profile or different metal and/or plastic profile which is provided with attachment means for introducing the forces into the safety device. By way of example, a structure is mentioned in which an eyelet or other attachment means is present which is pivotable about a substantially horizontal axle which is situated in the carrier part and preferably at a position as close as possible to the surface of the roof or the roof covering. In its normal position, the eyelet will be situated above the carrier part and in an emergency situation, the eyelet will fold down in the direction in which the force is applied. The distance between the horizontal pivot pin and the roof covering is very small, so that the tilting moment on the attachment means caused by the force is very small, as a result of which the existing roof covering is in principle only subjected to a pulling force. The above-described sealing covering may comprise a web of flexible bituminous or adhesive material which ensures that the remaining part of the roof covering is sealed in a manner known in the prior art. As said sealing covering is also sealed with respect to the carrier part, the sealing at the location of the fastening means is less critical, as described above.
- According to a further advantageous embodiment of the present invention, the base part is fitted through the above-described cut first and then the roof covering is sealed by any kind of method, but before the supporting part is applied. This may be achieved, for example, by providing a partly adhesive or bituminous material over the cut which may be cut to size by the respective individual in situ. In this case, only the openings for the fastening means which are to be fitted subsequently or the fastening means themselves which extend from the support part (bolts) are visible after the base part and sealing have been fitted.
- Obviously, the cut for introducing the base part has to be made in such a manner that when a pulling force is exerted on the carrier part or the attachment means arranged thereon, said pulling force is transmitted into the roof covering. This means that, in the direction of the force, the cut is preferably situated on or before the point of engagement of the force on the carrier part (in the vertical direction). If the cut is U-shaped, this is true in particular for the body part of the U.
- The invention also relates to a method for installing a safety device on a roof with roof covering, according to
claim 7. - The invention will be described below in more detail illustrated in the drawings in which:
-
Fig. 1 diagrammatically shows a flat roof provided with a number of safety devices according to the invention; -
Fig. 2 shows a detailed view of a cross section of a safety device according to the invention in the mounted position; -
Fig. 3 shows the safety device fromFig. 2 in the dismounted position; -
Figs. 4 *aye show how the safety device is installed on an existing flat roof -
Fig. 5a shows a perspective view of a particular embodiment of a part of the safety device according to the invention, -
Fig. 5b shows a top view of the safety device fromFig. 5a . - The invention will be described in more detail below by means of an example in which reference is made to a horizontal flat roof 1. It will be understood that the -roof 1 may be at a slight angle. What is important is that such a roof is provided wit-h one or more webs of roof covering 2 which may or may not be fixedly attached to the roof. Instead of fixed attachment means on the roof, it is possible to use ballasting or another way of affixing to ensure the roof covering 2 remains in place, even with wind loads acting on the roof. The roof covering web is preferably a sheet-type material web. By way of example, a web of bituminous material, with fabric is mentioned. Another possibility is a plastic (EPDN) material which may or may not be provided with a (fabric) reinforcement. Such a web of roof covering material makes the roof covering watertight.
- According to the present invention, a number of
safety devices 3 are present. Each safety device consists of a supportingpart 4 which is arranged above the roof covering 2 and provided with a tiltingeyelet 5 to which a line can be attached by means of which a person situated on the roof can secure themselves. Instead of a line, a continuous cable may be provided betweenvarious safety devices 3, in which case a person situated on the roof can secure themselves to said cable. In addition, it is possible to replace the tilting eyelet by any type of structure which makes it possible, for example, to place a safety fence. - In all cases, it is important that the
safety device 3 is installed in such a manner that it can absorb forces in the direction ofarrow 16. -
Fig. 2 shows details of asafety device 3 in the fitted state. It can be seen that abase part 7 is situated underneath the roof covering 2 and that this is situates, just like the roof covering 2, on thepart 17 of the roof structure situated underneath which is not modified in any way at the location of thebase part 7. In general, this will be the upper side of a roof structure, such as the top side of an insulating layer or some other boarding.Base part 7 is a substantially flat part which is provided with one or more ribs orconvex shapes 8 in which nuts or the like may be fitted at predetermined fixed positions. In addition to the ribs, it is also possible to use indentations (dimples) or the like. The fastening means can then be arranged in the centre of such indentations or in the ribs. In special cases, thebase part 7 may be attached to the structure situated underneath, but it is preferable not to do this. - On the roof covering 2, there is a supporting
part 4 which is made up of acarrier part 12 which is configured as an elongate wing-shaped profile. On thecarrier part 12, a sealing covering 6, such as a web of bituminous or adhesive material, is attached which extends beyond the profile on all sides around the profile. Theprofile 12 is provided withopenings 19 in whichbolts 11 are inserted which extend through the roof covering web and are connected to nuts 9. In addition, one ormore recesses 10 are provided at the location of theopenings 19 and preferably extend along the entire length of thewing profile 12, which recesses 10 are configured in accordance withrib 8 or slightly larger. - When tightening the
bolt 11, thebase plate 7 will be pulled towards theprofile 12 due to the presence ofnut 9 and, in the process, accommodate in a clamping manner at least the roof covering 2 and optionally the sealing covering 6 in between if this extends across the entire surface of theprofile 12. However, the latter is not imperative. Due to the presence of therib 8 and therecess 10, the roof covering will be clamped in between very securely in any case. If desired,several bolts 11 are provided in line, as a result of which said clamping force is increased further. It will be understood that the base part may be provided with bolts extending through the roof covering to which the supporting part is attached by means of nuts. -
Fig. 3 shows a detailed view of the various parts which make up the safety device. - When force is exerted on the
eyelet 5 in the direction ofarrow 16, it will come to lie flat by pivoting aboutaxle 13. Subsequently, a pulling force will be transmitted to profile 12 on roof covering 2, during which hardly any tilting takes place. However, it is also readily conceivable not to fit such atilting eyelet 5. After all, as long as the safety device and the roof covering are attached to one another in an optimum manner, which is achieved, according to the present invention, by clamping the roof covering between thebase plate 7 and the supportingpart 4 orprofile 12, some displacement of the roof covering away from the roof in case of emergency can take place without causing problems. This is due to the fact that parts of the roof covering situated further away are fitted to the roof in such a way that such a fall load can be readily absorbed. That is to say that the tilting effect which was deemed to be very damaging in the prior art, both with safety devices attached to the roof and safety devices glued to the roof, does not have any impact with the present invention. - After the supporting
part 4 orprofile 12 has been attached to thebase plate 7, the sealing covering can be sealingly attached to the existing roof covering. This may be effected by means of blowtorching, glueing or the like. - Another possible solution is that the roof is sealed before the supporting part is fitted, and the supporting part is fitted with the covering and further bonding and sealing is carried out, thus providing double protection.
- By means of
Fig. 4 , an example of fitting the safety device according to the present invention will be given. -
Fig. 4a shows how aU-shaped cut 15 is made in a roof covering 2. Instead of aU-shaped cut 15, it is also possible to make a single straight cut.Fig. 4b shows the opening of the flap which has been produced in this way.Fig. 4c diagrammatically shows how thebase part 7 is introduced in the direction ofarrow 20. Thebase part 7 can be placed in the space situated underneath the flap, but it is also possible to slide this further to a deeper position underneath the roof covering. In the case of a single straight cut, the base part will preferably be situated completely below the roof covering underneath the cut. However, it is also possible for a part of thebase plate 7 to remain extending above the roof covering 2. - This leads to the situation as shown in
Fig. 4d . Now, the supportingpart 4 can be displaced in the direction ofarrow 21 and be placed on to the base part and the roof covering 2 situated. After or before this, the roof covering 2 is drilled through at the location of theopening 19. This can be carried out using an awl, but it is also possible to provide thebolt 11 with a (self-aligning) cutting end at its free end. Thereafter, thebolt 11 is introduced further into theopening 19 and positionedopposite nut 9. Subsequently,bolt 11 is tightened by means oftool 18 resulting in clamping of the base plate andprofile 12. Then, as is shown inFig. 4e , ablowtorch 22 can be used to adhere the sealing covering 6 to the existing roof covering 2. Glueing or another attachment means is also possible. -
Fig. 5a and b show a particular embodiment of a part of a safety device according to the invention. Thebase plate assembly 26 consists of a number ofbase parts 27 shown in the preceding figures. Thebase parts 27 extend across the roof and are in this case arranged at a mutual angle and connected to each other. In the illustrated embodiment, every pair of threebase parts 27 is arranged at a mutual angle of 1.20°. An advantage of this embodiment is the fact that the loadability of the safety device is improved and, in addition, is less dependent on the direction of the applied load. - During installation of the safety device, the
base plate assembly 26 is rotated about itscentral axis 30 and acentral opening 29 offers the freedom to slide thebase plate assembly 26 underneath the roof covering 2 while the rotation is being carried out. - It will be clear that, while only the
base plate assembly 26 consisting of a number ofbase parts 7 is shown inFigs. 5a and 5b , eventually as many profiles .12 fromFig. 3 are placed on thebase parts 7. It is conceivable for this number ofprofiles 12 to also be assembled to form a profile assembly, the profile assembly being provided with one common and tiltingeyelet 5 fromFig. 3 . Upon reading the above, those skilled in the art will immediately be able to think of variants which are obvious after reading the above and are covered by the scope of the attached claims. - In addition, rights are expressly sought for the variant embodiments which are described in the subclaims.
