Sur la figure 1 est montré un toit 2 comportant un élément de support 4 et un crochet de gouttière 6. La figure 1 montre également un ensemble de fixation, désigné par la référence générale 8, adapté pour fixer le crochet de gouttière 6 à l'élément de couverture 4.On the figure 1 is shown a roof 2 having a support member 4 and a gutter hook 6. The figure 1 also shows a fixing assembly, designated by the general reference 8, adapted to fix the gutter hook 6 to the cover element 4.

L'élément de couverture 4 est constitué, par exemple, d'un élément de toit, telle qu'une plaque ondulé en alliage à base de ciment. En variante, l'élément de couverture 4 peut être un élément de couverture tel qu'une tôle de type « bac acier », ou une plaque en matériau plastique composite.The cover element 4 consists of, for example, a roof element, such as a corrugated cementitious alloy plate. Alternatively, the cover member 4 may be a cover member such as a "steel tray" type sheet, or a composite plastic plate.

L'élément de couverture 4 comporte un chant 4A libre.The cover element 4 has a free 4A edge.

L'ensemble de fixation 8 comporte un porte-gouttière 10 ayant une portion de profil 12 adaptée pour porter le crochet de la gouttière 6.. Le porte-gouttière 10 comporte également une portion d'engagement 14 dans laquelle peut s'engager l'élément de support 4.The fastening assembly 8 comprises a gutter holder 10 having a profile portion 12 adapted to carry the hook of the gutter 6. The gutter holder 10 also comprises an engagement portion 14 in which can engage the support element 4.

L'ensemble de fixation 8 comprend également un élément de serrage 16 adapté pour serrer l'élément de couverture 4 vers ou contre la portion d'engagement 14. Cet élément de serrage 16 est fabriqué d'un seul tenant ou d'une seule pièce.The fastening assembly 8 also comprises a clamping element 16 adapted to clamp the cover element 4 to or against the engagement portion 14. This clamping element 16 is made in one piece or in one piece .

L'ensemble de fixation 8 est muni de moyens de placage 18 adaptés pour solliciter l'élément de serrage 16 contre la portion d'engagement 14 et contre l'élément de couverture 4.The fastening assembly 8 is provided with plating means 18 adapted to urge the clamping element 16 against the engagement portion 14 and against the covering element 4.

La portion d'engagement 14 dispose d'une première aile 20 et d'une deuxième aile 22, qui sont situées en vis-à-vis, ainsi que d'une âme 24 reliant les première et deuxième ailes 20, 22. Les deux ailes 20, 22 définissent un côté ouvert CO qui est un côté opposé à l'âme 24 et un côté âme CA qui est associé à l'âme 24. A l'état monté, les deux ailes 20, 22 sont disposées de deux côtés opposés de l'élément de support 4.The engagement portion 14 has a first flange 20 and a second flange 22, which are located vis-à-vis, and a core 24 connecting the first and second flanges 20, 22. Both wings 20, 22 define an open side CO which is a side opposite the web 24 and a side CA which is associated with the core 24. In the mounted state, the two wings 20, 22 are arranged on two sides opposite of the support member 4.

L'ensemble de fixation 8 définit également une direction d'actionnement D qui est une direction s'étendant du côté ouvert CO au côté âme CA, et qui s'étend sensiblement parallèlement à l'une ou à l'autre des ailes 20, 22.The fastening assembly 8 also defines an actuating direction D which is a direction extending from the open side CO to the side CA , and which extends substantially parallel to one or the other of the wings 20, 22.

En l'occurrence, la portion de profil 12, la première aile 20, l'âme 24 et la deuxième aile 22 sont fabriquées d'un seul tenant et de préférence d'une seule pièce.In this case, the profile portion 12, the first flange 20, the core 24 and the second flange 22 are made in one piece and preferably in one piece.

L'une des deux ailes 20, 22 est une aile de serrage et l'autre des ailes 20, 22 est une aile d'appui. L'aile de serrage est celle contre laquelle l'élément de serrage 16 serre l'élément de couverture 4 et qui est en contact avec cet élément de couverture 4. En l'occurrence, la première aile 20 constitue l'aile de serrage. L'aile d'appui est l'aile qui est hors contact de l'élément de couverture 4 et est en l'occurrence la deuxième aile 22.One of the two wings 20, 22 is a clamping wing and the other of the wings 20, 22 is a support wing. The clamping flange is the one against which the clamping member 16 squeezes the cover element 4 and which is in contact with this cover element 4. In this case, the first wing 20 constitutes the clamping wing. The support wing is the wing that is out of contact with the cover element 4 and is in this case the second wing 22.

Par ailleurs, la distance entre la première aile 20 et la deuxième aile 22 diminue en allant du côté âme CA vers le côté ouvert CO. Furthermore, the distance between the first flange 20 and the second flange 22 decreases going from the side CA side to the open side CO.

La première aile 20 est une aile intermédiaire, c'est-à-dire qu'elle se trouve entre l'âme 24 et la portion de profil 12, tandis que la deuxième aile 22 est une aile libre c'est-à-dire qu'elle est adjacente à l'âme 24 et a une extrémité libre.The first wing 20 is an intermediate wing, that is to say it lies between the core 24 and the profile portion 12, while the second wing 22 is a free wing that is to say it is adjacent to the core 24 and has a free end.

Les moyens de placage 18 comprennent une surface de came 26 et une surface de contre-came 28 coopérantes. Ces deux surfaces 26, 28 sont adaptées pour solliciter l'élément de serrage 16 contre l'élément de couverture 4 lors d'un déplacement relatif en translation entre ces deux surfaces 26, 28.The plating means 18 comprises a cooperating cam surface 26 and counter cam surface 28. These two surfaces 26, 28 are adapted to urge the clamping element 16 against the cover element 4 during a relative displacement in translation between these two surfaces 26, 28.

En l'occurrence, la surface de came 26 est formée par l'aile d'appui, donc la deuxième aile 22. La surface de contre-came 28 est formée par la surface de l'élément de serrage 16 qui est en contact avec l'aile 22.In this case, the cam surface 26 is formed by the support flange, thus the second flange 22. The camming surface 28 is formed by the surface of the clamping member 16 which is in contact with the wing 22.

L'élément de serrage 16 et la deuxième aile 22 sont donc adaptés pour solliciter l'élément de serrage 16 contre l'élément de couverture 4 par un déplacement relatif de l'élément de serrage 16 par rapport à la deuxième aile 22 vers le côté ouvert CO. The clamping element 16 and the second flange 22 are therefore adapted to urge the clamping element 16 against the cover element 4 by a relative displacement of the clamping element 16 with respect to the second flange 22 towards the side open CO.

Les moyens de placage 18 sont autobloquants ainsi s'opposant à une libération de l'élément de serrage 16 uniquement par frottement entre les surfaces de came 26 et les surfaces de contre-came 28 ainsi qu'entre l'élément de serrage 16 et l'élément de couverture 4.The plating means 18 are self-locking thereby opposing release of the clamping member 16 only by friction between the cam surfaces 26 and camming surfaces 28 as well as between the clamping member 16 and the cam. cover element 4.

Par ailleurs, l'élément de serrage 16 comporte une surface de serrage qui est en contact avec l'élément de couverture 4. Cette surface de serrage comporte des rainures afin de générer une force de frottement importante pour une force de serrage donnée.On the other hand, the clamping member 16 has a clamping surface that is in contact with the cover member 4. This clamping surface has grooves to generate a large frictional force for a given clamping force.

L'ensemble de fixation comporte une surface d'actionnement 18A des moyens de placage 18, qui est adaptée pour actionner les moyens de placage 18 en vue du serrage de l'élément de support 4. Une force de poussée agissant sur cette surface d'actionnement 18A, dans un sens dirigé du côté âme vers CA le côté ouvert CO, déplace l'élément de serrage 16 par rapport à la deuxième aile 22 vers le côté ouvert.The fastener assembly includes an actuating surface 18A of the plating means 18, which is adapted to actuate the plating means 18 for clamping the support member 4. A thrust force acting on this surface Actuation 18A, in a direction directed from the side CA to the open side CO , moves the clamping member 16 relative to the second flange 22 towards the open side.

Dans le présent mode de réalisation, l'ensemble de fixation 8 comporte une saillie de poussée 17 qui est fixée à l'élément de serrage 16 et qui forme une surface de frappe 17A. La surface d'actionnement 18A est en l'occurrence constituée par la surface de frappe 17A. La saillie de poussée 17 s'étend de part et d'autre de l'âme 24 et est adaptée pour transmettre une force de poussée agissant sur la surface de frappe 17A à l'élément de serrage 16. De préférence, la saillie de poussée 17 est une tige et s'étend notamment à travers une ouverture ménagée dans l'âme 24. Ainsi, l'ensemble de fixation 8 est fixable à l'élément de support 4 par une simple frappe sur la surface de frappe 17A.In the present embodiment, the fastener assembly 8 has a thrust projection 17 which is attached to the clamping member 16 and which forms a striking surface 17A. The actuating surface 18A is in this case constituted by the striking surface 17A. The thrust projection 17 extends on either side of the core 24 and is adapted to transmit a thrust force acting on the striking surface 17A to the clamping member 16. Preferably, the thrust protrusion 17 is a stem and extends especially through an opening in the core 24. Thus, the fastening assembly 8 is fixable to the support member 4 by a simple strike on the striking surface 17A.

Ce mode de réalisation est particulièrement simple et comporte peu d'éléments.This embodiment is particularly simple and has few elements.

Sur la figure 2 est montré un deuxième mode de réalisation d'un ensemble de fixation ainsi qu'un élément de couverture 4. La gouttière 6 est omise par rapport à la figure 1.On the figure 2 is shown a second embodiment of a fastener assembly and a cover element 4. The gutter 6 is omitted from the figure 1 .

Uniquement les différences par rapport à l'ensemble de fixation 8 précédemment décrit seront décrites, les éléments analogues portant les mêmes références.Only the differences with respect to the fixing assembly 8 previously described will be described, the analogous elements bearing the same references.

L'élément de serrage 16 n'est pas en contact avec l'aile d'appui, qui est la deuxième aile 22.The clamping element 16 is not in contact with the support wing, which is the second wing 22.

Les moyens de placage 18 comprennent un élément de placage 30 qui est un élément distinct de l'élément de serrage 16 et qui est adapté pour solliciter l'élément de serrage 16 vers l'aile de serrage, qui est la première aile 20. L'élément de placage 30 est disposé entre la première aile 20 et la deuxième aile 22. L'élément de placage 30 est en contact avec l'élément de serrage 16 et avec l'aile d'appui, qui est la deuxième aile 22.The plating means 18 comprise a plating element 30 which is a separate element from the clamping element 16 and which is adapted to urge the clamping element 16 towards the clamping flange, which is the first flange 20. L plating element 30 is disposed between the first flange 20 and the second flange 22. The plating element 30 is in contact with the clamping element 16 and with the flange, which is the second flange 22.

Les moyens de placage 18 sont adaptés pour solliciter l'élément de serrage 16 vers l'aile de serrage en déplaçant l'élément de placage 30 vers le côté ouvert CO et en déplaçant cet élément de placage 30 par rapport à l'élément de serrage 16 vers le côté ouvert. A cet effet, l'élément de placage 30 porte la surface de came 26 et une surface d'aile 32. La surface de came 26 est adaptée pour coopérer avec la surface de contre-came 28 de l'élément de serrage 16, de telle sorte à serrer l'élément de serrage 16 contre l'élément de couverture 4 lorsque l'élément de placage 30 se déplace du côté âme CA vers le côté ouvert CO, tout en maintenant l'élément de serrage 16 immobile dans la direction D s'étendant du côté ouvert au côté âme.The plating means 18 are adapted to urge the clamping member 16 toward the clamping wing by moving the plating member 30 toward the open side CO and moving this plating member 30 relative to the clamping member. 16 to the open side. For this purpose, the plating member 30 carries the cam surface 26 and a flange surface 32. The cam surface 26 is adapted to cooperate with the counter cam surface 28 of the clamp member 16, in such a way as to clamp the clamping member 16 against the cover member 4 as the plating member 30 moves from the core side CA to the open side CO , while holding the clamp member 16 stationary in the direction D extending from the open side to the soul side.

Les deux ailes 20, 22 sont parallèles l'une de l'autre dans la direction s'étendant du côté ouvert au côté âme.The two wings 20, 22 are parallel to each other in the direction extending from the open side to the soul side.

La surface de came 26 et la surfaces de contre-came 28 ainsi que la surface d'aile 32 sont formées de telle sorte que les moyens de placage 18 sont autobloquants ainsi s'opposant par frottement à une libération de l'élément de serrage 16, d'une part, entre la surface d'aile 32 et l'aile d'appui et, d'autre part, entre la surface de came 26 et la surface de contre-came 28.The cam surface 26 and camming surfaces 28 and the flange surface 32 are formed such that the plating means 18 is self-locking thereby frictionally opposing release of the clamping member 16. on the one hand, between the wing surface 32 and the support wing and, on the other hand, between the cam surface 26 and the counter cam surface 28.

La saillie de poussée 17 est fixée à l'élément de placage 30 et non pas à l'élément de serrage 16. La saillie de poussée 17 s'étend de part et d'autre de l'âme 24 et est adaptée pour transmettre la force de poussée agissant sur la surface de frappe 17A à l'élément de placage 30. De manière analogue au mode de réalisation précédent, la surface d'actionnement 18A est adaptée pour actionner les moyens de placage 18 pour serrer l'élément 4 par une force de poussée sur cette surface d'actionnement 18A dirigée dans un sens dirigé du côté âme vers le côté ouvert CO.The thrust projection 17 is attached to the plating element 30 and not to the clamping member 16. The thrust projection 17 extends on either side of the core 24 and is adapted to transmit the thrust force acting on the striking surface 17A to the plating element 30. In a similar manner to the previous embodiment, the actuating surface 18A is adapted to actuate the plating means 18 to tightening the element 4 by a pushing force on this actuating surface 18A directed in a direction directed from the soul side towards the open side CO.

Ce mode de réalisation fonctionne comme suit.This embodiment operates as follows.

L'élément de couverture 4 est inséré entre la première aile 20 et l'élément de support 16. Ensuite l'élément de placage 30 est déplacé en translation vers le coté ouvert CO par rapport à l'élément de serrage 16. Ainsi, l'élément de serrage 16 est serré contre l'élément de couverture 4. Pendant ce déplacement, l'élément de support 16 reste de préférence immobile par rapport aux ailes 20, 22.The cover element 4 is inserted between the first flange 20 and the support element 16. Then the plating element 30 is displaced in translation towards the open side CO with respect to the clamping element 16. the clamping member 16 is clamped against the cover member 4. During this movement, the support member 16 preferably remains stationary with respect to the wings 20, 22.

Ce mode de réalisation ménage particulièrement la surface de l'élément de couverture 4 et permet de régler la force de serrage.This embodiment particularly protects the surface of the cover element 4 and makes it possible to adjust the clamping force.

Sur la figure 3 est montré l'ensemble de fixation 8 de la figure 2 qui inclut des moyens d'imperdabilité 40 reliant le porte-gouttière 10, l'élément de serrage 16 et, le cas échéant, l'élément de placage 30 de telle sorte à s'opposer à une libération ou à empêcher une libération des uns des autres au moins sous l'action de leur poids propre, et ceci indépendamment de l'orientation de l'ensemble de fixation 8 par rapport à la force de la pesanteur. Les moyens d'imperdabilité 40 comprennent une agrafe d'imperdabilité 42 coiffant la deuxième aile 22 et retenant l'élément de serrage 16 par rapport au porte-gouttière 10. L'agrafe d'imperdabilité 42 s'oppose à une libération de l'élément de serrage 16, l'élément de placage 30 sous l'effet de leur poids propre et indépendamment de la position spatiale de l'ensemble de fixation.On the figure 3 is shown the fastening assembly 8 of the figure 2 which includes captive means 40 connecting the gutter holder 10, the clamping member 16 and, if appropriate, the veneer member 30 so as to oppose releasing or preventing release from others at least under the action of their own weight, and this regardless of the orientation of the fastening assembly 8 relative to the force of gravity. The captive means 40 comprise a captive clip 42 covering the second flange 22 and holding the clamping member 16 relative to the gutter 10. The clip clip 42 opposes a release of the clip. clamping member 16, the plating member 30 under the effect of their own weight and regardless of the spatial position of the fastener assembly.

La figure 4 montre un troisième mode de réalisation d'un ensemble de fixation 8. Ce mode de réalisation diffère du deuxième mode de réalisation uniquement par la disposition des éléments de couverture 4, de placage 30 et de serrage 16.The figure 4 shows a third embodiment of a fastener assembly 8. This embodiment differs from the second embodiment only in the arrangement of the cover elements 4, plating 30 and clamping 16.

L'aile de serrage est la deuxième aile 22 et l'aile de placage est la première aile 20. En d'autres termes, l'élément de couverture 4 s'applique contre la deuxième aile 22 tandis que l'élément de placage 30 s'applique contre la première aile 20.The clamping wing is the second wing 22 and the veneer wing is the first wing 20. In other words, the cover element 4 is applied against the second wing 22 while the veneer element 30 applies against the first wing 20.

Ce mode de réalisation est encore plus facile à monter étant donné que les éléments de serrage 16 et de placage 30 sont situés plus bas que dans le cas du mode de réalisation de la figure 2.This embodiment is even easier to assemble since the clamping and cladding elements 30 are located lower than in the case of the embodiment of the invention. figure 2 .

Les figures 5 et 6 montrent un quatrième mode de réalisation de l'ensemble de fixation selon l'invention. Ce mode de réalisation diffère du mode de réalisation de la figure 1 par ce qui suit.The Figures 5 and 6 show a fourth embodiment of the fixing assembly according to the invention. This embodiment differs from the embodiment of the figure 1 by what follows.

La portion d'engagement 14 est constituée d'un profil nervuré.The engagement portion 14 is made of a ribbed profile.

La distance entre la première aile 20 et la deuxième aile 22 augmente en allant du côté âme CA vers le côté ouvert CO. The distance between the first flange 20 and the second flange 22 increases going from the AC side to the open side CO.

L'ensemble de fixation 8 comporte un élément de pince 50. Cet élément de pince 50 comporte une branche de serrage 52 formant l'élément de serrage 16 et une branche intercalée 54.The fastening assembly 8 comprises a clamp element 50. This clamp element 50 comprises a clamping branch 52 forming the clamping element 16 and an interposed branch 54.

L'élément de serrage 16 a une forme s'évasant en allant du côté âme ÇA vers le côté ouvert CO. The clamping member 16 has a flaring shape extending from the core side CA to the open side CO.

La branche intercalée s'étend entre la deuxième aile 22 et l'élément de couverture 4.The interposed branch extends between the second flange 22 and the cover element 4.

Les deux branches 52, 54 forment une fente 56 de réception de l'élément de couverture 4. L'élément de pince 50 forme également, au fond de la fente 56, une butée 58.The two branches 52, 54 form a slot 56 for receiving the cover element 4. The clamp element 50 also forms, at the bottom of the slot 56, a stop 58.

Cette butée 58 est adaptée pour s'opposer à un déplacement de l'élément de pince 50 par rapport à l'élément de couverture 4 et ceci du chant libre 4A vers la partie courante de l'élément de couverture.This stop 58 is adapted to oppose a displacement of the clamp element 50 with respect to the cover element 4 and this of the free edge 4A towards the current part of the cover element.

L'élément de serrage 16 et les ailes 20, 22 sont donc adaptés pour solliciter l'élément de serrage 16 et la branche intercalée 54 contre l'élément de couverture 4 par un déplacement relatif en translation des ailes 20, 22 par rapport à l'élément de serrage 16 ou l'élément de pince 50 dans un sens dirigé du côté âme CA vers le côté ouvert CO. The clamping element 16 and the wings 20, 22 are therefore adapted to urge the clamping element 16 and the inserted branch 54 against the cover element 4 by a relative displacement in translation of the wings 20, 22 with respect to the clamp member 16 or clamp member 50 in a direction directed from the side CA to the open side CO.

Ainsi, la surface d'actionnement 18A est constituée par l'âme 24. De nouveau, la surface d'actionnement 18A est adaptée pour actionner les moyens de placage 18 pour serrer l'élément 4 par une force de poussée sur cette surface d'actionnement 18A dirigée dans un sens dirigé du côté âme vers le côté ouvert CO.Thus, the actuating surface 18A is constituted by the core 24. Again, the actuating surface 18A is adapted to actuate the plating means 18 to tighten the element 4 by a thrust force on this surface of actuation 18A directed in a direction directed from the soul side to the open side CO.

L'élément de pince 50 ne comporte pas de saillie de poussée 17.The clamp element 50 does not have a thrust projection 17.

La portion d'engagement 14 comporte également un dispositif de guidage, qui est notamment formé par des pontets de chaque coté de l'aile intermédiaire 20.The engagement portion 14 also comprises a guiding device, which is formed in particular by bridges on each side of the intermediate wing 20.

Le moyen d'imperdabilité 40 est formé par un dispositif d'arrimage de la pince 50 par rapport à la portion d'engagement 14. Ce dispositif d'arrimage est formé par une patte 60 découpée dans la partie centrale de l'aile intermédiaire 20 et adapté pour crocheter l'élément de pince 50 pour le rendre mobile par rapport à la portion d'engagement 14. Ceci est montré à la figure 6.The captive means 40 is formed by a device for securing the clip 50 relative to the engagement portion 14. This securing device is formed by a tab 60 cut in the central portion of the intermediate wing 20 and adapted to hook the gripper member 50 to make it movable relative to the engagement portion 14. This is shown in FIG. figure 6 .

L'élément de pince 50 a un profil en forme de "U" ouvert vers l'aile 22.The clip member 50 has a U-shaped profile open towards the flange 22.

La fente 56, est destinée à recevoir un élément de couverture 4. La fente 56 a une forme évasée vers le coté ouvert CO à l'état non sollicité de l'élément de pince 50. A l'état serré de l'élément de pince 50, la fente 56 a une largeur qui est constante sur toute sa longueur. La découpe de la fente 56 est conçue pour permettre une élasticité de l'élément de pince autour de l'élément de couverture 4.The slot 56 is intended to receive a cover element 4. The slot 56 has a flared shape towards the open side CO in the unsolicited state of the clamp element 50. In the tight state of the element of FIG. clip 50, the slot 56 has a width that is constant over its entire length. Cutting of the slot 56 is designed to allow elasticity of the clip member around the cover member 4.

Ce mode de réalisation est monté de la façon suivante.This embodiment is mounted as follows.

L'ensemble de fixation 8 est glissé sur l'élément de couverture 4 de sorte à recouvrir le chant libre 4A et de sorte que l'élément de pince 50, plus précisément l'élément de serrage 16 et la branche intercalée 54 s'appliquent sur l'élément de support 4. La butée 58 s'applique contre le chant libre 4A et évite que l'élément de pince 50 se déplace par rapport à l'élément de couverture 4.The fastening assembly 8 is slid over the cover member 4 so as to cover the free edge 4A and so that the clamp element 50, more precisely the clamping member 16 and the inserted branch 54 apply. on the support element 4. The stop 58 is applied against the free edge 4A and prevents the clamp element 50 from moving relative to the cover element 4.

Ensuite, l'âme 24, et donc la surface d'actionnement 18A, est déplacée par rapport à l'élément de pince 50 et par rapport à l'élément de couverture 4 vers le chant 4A, ainsi serrant les branches de l'élément de pince 50 contre l'élément de couverture 4.Then, the core 24, and therefore the actuating surface 18A, is moved relative to the clamp member 50 and relative to the cover member 4 toward the edge 4A, thereby squeezing the branches of the element clamp 50 against the cover element 4.

Ce mode de réalisation est facile à fabriquer, en particulier par emboutissage, en raison de la disposition évasant des ailes 20, 22 et l'absence de la saillie de poussée. Aussi, la surface d'actionnement 18 est relativement large étant donné qu'elle est formée par l'âme 24.This embodiment is easy to manufacture, in particular by stamping, because of the flaring arrangement of the wings 20, 22 and the absence of the thrust projection. Also, the actuating surface 18 is relatively wide since it is formed by the core 24.

Par rapport aux modes de réalisation des figures 2 à 4, l'ensemble de fixation 8 est constitué de 2 pièces ce qui apporte, une plus grande facilité d'usage et une économie de production.Compared to the embodiments of Figures 2 to 4 , the fastening assembly 8 consists of 2 parts which brings, greater ease of use and economy of production.

Par rapport au mode de réalisation de la figure 1, il n'y a aucun glissement relatif entre la toiture et ensemble de fixation lors du serrage de l'ensemble de fixation autour de l'élément de couverture, évitant rayures ou griffures sur le matériau de toiture.Compared to the embodiment of the figure 1 there is no relative sliding between the roof and fastening assembly when clamping the fastener assembly around the cover member, avoiding scratches or scratches on the roofing material.

Les figures 7 et 8 montrent des éléments de pince 50 selon deux variantes. L'élément de pince 50 de la figure 7 est un élément de pince 50 qui est particulièrement adapté pour la fixation sur un élément de couverture 4 qui est une plaque ciment. La largeur de la fente 56 est comprise entre 7 et 9mm. L'élément de pince 50 de la figure 8 est particulièrement adapté pour un élément de couverture 4 qui est une plaque plastique. La fente 56 a une largeur qui est comprise entre 3 et 6mm.The Figures 7 and 8 show clip elements 50 according to two variants. The clip element 50 of the figure 7 is a clip member 50 which is particularly suitable for attachment to a cover member 4 which is a cement board. The width of the slot 56 is between 7 and 9mm. The clip element 50 of the figure 8 is particularly suitable for a cover element 4 which is a plastic plate. The slot 56 has a width that is between 3 and 6mm.

Généralement, la fente 56 a une largeur croissante de son origine vers sa partie ouverte.Generally, the slot 56 has an increasing width from its origin to its open part.

L'ensemble de fixation peut donc être utilisé pour des toits ayant des éléments de couverture en matières différentes. Le fonctionnement reste toutefois identique.The fastener assembly can therefore be used for roofs having cover elements of different materials. The operation remains the same, however.

Une variante non représentée de l'ensemble de serrage selon l'invention comporte les caractéristiques suivantes par rapport au mode de réalisations précédent.An unrepresented variant of the clamping assembly according to the invention has the following characteristics with respect to the previous embodiment.

L'élément de serrage 16 porte une butée qui est adaptée pour s'opposer à un déplacement de l'élément de serrage 16 par rapport à l'élément de couverture 4 et ceci du chant libre 4A vers la partie courante de l'élément de couverture. Cette butée est formée par un nez de retenue en saillie sur l'élément de serrage 16.The clamping member 16 carries a stop which is adapted to oppose a displacement of the clamping element 16 with respect to the cover element 4 and this of the free edge 4A towards the running part of the clamping element. blanket. This stop is formed by a retaining nose projecting on the clamping element 16.

L'élément de serrage 16 et la deuxième aile 22 sont également adaptés pour solliciter l'élément de serrage 16 contre l'élément de couverture 4 par un déplacement relatif en translation de la deuxième aile 22 par rapport à l'élément de serrage 16 vers le côté ouvert CO. The clamping element 16 and the second flange 22 are also adapted to urge the clamping element 16 against the cover element 4 by a displacement relative translation in translation of the second flange 22 relative to the clamping element 16 towards the open side CO.

La butée s'applique contre le chant libre 4A et évite que l'élément de serrage 16 se déplace.The fastening assembly 8 is slid over the cover member 4 so as to cover the free edge 4A and so that the second flange 22 and the clamping member 16 are applied to the support member 4. The stop applies against the free edge 4A and prevents the clamping member 16 moves.

Ensuite, la deuxième aile 22 est déplacée par rapport à l'élément de serrage 16 et par rapport à l'élément de couverture 4 vers le chant 4A, ainsi serrant l'élément de serrage 16 contre l'élément de couverture 4.Then, the second flange 22 is moved relative to the clamping member 16 and relative to the cover member 4 toward the edge 4A, thereby clamping the clamping member 16 against the cover member 4.
