Definitions

• the present invention relates generally to sheet metal elements or sheet metal profiles for use in covering parts of buildings.
• the invention relates in particular to sheet metal profiles that are intended to be joined in the longitudinal direction and are accordingly configured at their end areas so that a waterproof, durable, functional and neatly executed joint is obtained when a plurality of sheet metal profiles are installed next to or after one another.
• the bargeboard covers are supplied in standard lengths, usually in two-metre lengths, they must be joined together in conjunction with their installation on buildings whose bargeboards exceed this length, which is usually the case. Because the bargeboard covers exhibit different bending on the inside and the outside, with different angles, and because they must be overlapped in conjunction with joining in order to be waterproof, so that water does not run in underneath the cover installed in the lowest position, the bargeboard covers must be manufactured in two configurations, one for right-hand and one for left-hand installation. This requires both forms to be manufactured and kept in stock by the manufacturer, the supplier and in the shop. This takes up a certain amount of storage space with associated storage costs.
• One object of the invention is to solve the problems outlined above and to propose a sheet metal profile which, when installed and joined to other sheet metal profiles, gives a waterproof, durable and visually neat joint that is fit for purpose, regardless of whether they are installed as a right-hand or a left-hand profile on part of a building.
• a further object of the invention is to simplify the manufacture and thus to reduce the production costs by reducing the number of different sheet metal profiles, as well as the volume of sheet metal profiles, that require to be manufactured and kept in stock, which also reduces the cost of storage and the storage area required by manufacturers, distributors, shops and tradesmen.
• a further object of the invention is to propose a sheet metal profile which reduces the risk of ingress of water and corrosion.
• a further object of the invention is to eliminate or to reduce the risk of incorrect deliveries or incorrect manufacture of the number of sheet metal profiles required for right-hand and left-hand installation and thereby to reduce the need for transport of these components, which also has a positive effect on the environment.
• a further object of the invention is also to enable a person who is not skilled in the art to install sheet metal profiles without specialist knowledge and without professional tools and still to achieve a waterproof and visually neat joint that is fit for purpose.
• the invention thus relates to sheet metal profiles that are configured with angled or notched end walls so that they can overlap other corresponding sheet metal profiles without requiring to be pushed into special tracks therein and without the need for specially configured recesses or cut-outs which make manufacture and installation difficult and mean that installation takes a longer time because the profiles can become tightly wedged in one another in conjunction with joining, among other things due to friction and/or the stick slip effect.
• One sheet metal profile according to the invention is provided with downward-folded lateral parts, of which the end walls are cut at an acute angle in relation to the upper plane surface of the sheet metal profiles.
• the angle between the upper surface and the end edge of the lateral parts is preferably approximately 45 degrees, although it can, of course, be larger or smaller.
• a small part, preferably approximately 1 cm, of the lowest edge of the lateral parts is folded up towards the inside of the sheet metal profile in order to reinforce the bottom edge. This permits good contact between joined profiles, and if, for example, an angle of 45 degrees is used for the oblique cut, the upward-folded edges form a stop for two sheet metal profiles when they are joined together. If the end walls of the sheet metal profiles are punched, it is also easy to form a tongue on each upward-folded edge, which is able to some extent to overlap/cover a part of neighbouring sheet metal profiles and, by so doing, to lock the profiles to one another.
• Figure 1 depicts a bargeboard cover, viewed from one of its end walls, in accordance with the prior art.
• Figure 2 depicts two previously disclosed bargeboard covers, viewed obliquely from the side, prior to joining.
• Figure 3 depicts the two bargeboard covers according to Figure 2, viewed obliquely from the side, in the joined position.
• Figure 4 depicts a side view of a sheet metal profile according to the invention, in this case a bargeboard cover.
• Figure 5 depicts two bargeboard covers according to the invention, viewed obliquely from the side, prior to joining.
• Figure 6 depicts the two bargeboard covers according to the invention according to Figure 5, viewed obliquely from the side, in the joined position.
• Figure 7 depicts the two bargeboard covers according to the invention, viewed from below, joined together according to Figure 6.
• Figure 8 depicts two alternative bargeboard covers according to the invention, viewed from below, joined together with locking tongues or locking plates.
• Figure 9 depicts another embodiment of a sheet metal profile, viewed from the side, in this case a so-called roof end plate.
• Figure 10 depicts the roof end plate according to Figure 9, but viewed from below.
• Figure 11 depicts a further embodiment of a sheet metal profile, viewed from below, in this case a drip guard.
• Figure 12 depicts a further embodiment of a sheet metal profile, viewed from below, in this case a stand-up sheet.
• Figure 13 depicts a further embodiment of a sheet metal profile, viewed from below, in this case a ridge cap.
• Figure 14 depicts yet a further embodiment of a sheet metal profile, viewed from below, in this case a window ledge.
• the invention relates to a sheet metal element or a sheet metal profile intended for installation against parts of a building and relates to, among other things, sheet metal profiles intended for covering, for example, bargeboards on roofs.
• the invention relates in particular to the configuration of the end areas of the sheet metal profiles, so that only one variant of a sheet metal profile is required, regardless of whether they are intended for left-hand or right-hand installation.
• the sheet metal profiles must also be capable of being joined to one another in such a way that a durable, waterproof, functional and visually neat joint is produced between the sheet metal profiles.
• Figure 1 depicts, in accordance with the prior art, a bargeboard cover 1, viewed from one of its end walls.
• the sheet metal profile 1 is intended for installation over a bargeboard 2, for example made of wood, by screwing or nailing into the upper plane horizontal surface of the bargeboard 2 or into the lateral parts of the bargeboard 2.
• the sheet metal profile 1 is provided with downward-bent lateral parts 3a,b, of which one lateral part 3 a is intended to be installed on the outer side of the bargeboard 2, that is to say the side which faces away from the covering of the roof, and of which the other lateral part 3b is intended to be connected to the covering of the roof, for example to roofing tiles, roofing sheets or similar (not illustrated).
• the outer/lower edges 4a,b of the lateral parts 3a,b are provided with upward- folded reinforcing edges or sections 5a,b.
• FIG. 2 depicts, in accordance with the prior art, two sheet metal profiles la,b prior to joining viewed obliquely from the side.
• the sheet metal profiles la,b are of different configuration at their end walls 6a,b. Both end walls 6a,b are cut straight across at an angle of 90 degrees in relation to the envisaged longitudinal axes of the profiles la,b. Arranged on one end wall 6b, however, are cut-outs 7, one on each edge. These cut-outs 7 allow this profile la to be pushed into a second, corresponding sheet metal profile lb, and more precisely into the tracks that are formed by the upward-folded reinforcing edges or the parts 5a,b.
• the cut-outs 7 are usually located at a distance of approximately 10 cm from the end wall of the sheet metal profile and permit the sheet metal profiles la,b to overlap one another by approximately 10 cm.
• the fact that the sheet metal profiles are cut straight across and have straight end walls permits water to enter between the sheet metal profiles la,b, among other things through capillary force, which can give rise to corrosion in the longer term, especially if the sheet metal profiles la,b have been scratched or damaged in some other way during transport or during installation, which is a relatively common occurrence.
• Figure 3 depicts, also in accordance with the prior art, the two sheet metal profiles la,b in the joined position, viewed obliquely from the side.
• the joint 8 is straight and perpendicular, at 90 degrees, in relation to the envisaged longitudinal axis of the sheet metal profile, and the sheet metal profiles la,b are a good fit with one another thanks to the cut-outs 7 at the end wall of one of the sheet metal profiles la.
• the presence of these cut-outs 7 and the fact that the lateral parts 3a, b of the sheet metal profiles la,b are of different configuration on the inside and the outside respectively of the sheet metal profiles means that sheet metal profiles la,b for right-hand and left-hand installation must be manufactured, kept in stock and handled.
• Figure 4 depicts a side view of a sheet metal profile 9 according to the invention, in this case a bargeboard cover.
• the lateral parts 10a,b of the sheet metal profile 9, of which only the lateral part 10b is visible in this figure are provided at both of their end sections l la,b with an end edge 13a,b cut at an angle, which is cut inwards, that is to say so that the upper plane surface 12 of the sheet metal profile 9 forms a projecting part in both directions and one or both lateral parts 10a,b of the sheet metal profile 9 are configured with an angled end edge 13a,b, where the angle v between the upper plane surface 12 of the sheet metal profile 9 and the end edge 13a,b of the lateral parts forms an acute angle v.
• the sheet metal profile 9 is also of mirror symmetrical configuration at both end sections l la,b, and the angle v of the end edge 13a,b in relation to the upper plane surface 12 of the sheet metal profile 9 is approximately 45 degrees at this point.
• This angle v can be either larger or smaller than 45 degrees, although it should preferably lie within the interval of 30-60 degrees.
• Figure 5 depicts in a side view, viewed obliquely from above, two sheet metal profiles 9a,b according to the invention, in this case bargeboard covers, which are in the process of being joined together.
• Any sheet metal profile 9a,b at all can overlap the other sheet metal profile 9a,b thanks to the configuration of the end section l la,b.
• One and the same sheet metal profile 9a,b can thus be utilized both for right-handed and for left-handed installation, and only a single variant of the sheet metal profile 9a,b is necessary. This reduces the production cost and the cost of storage, transport and handling.
• Figure 6 depicts a side view, viewed obliquely from above, of the two bargeboard covers 9a,b according to the invention in the joined position according to Figure 5.
• the right-hand sheet metal profile 9b overlaps the left-hand sheet metal profile 9a. Thanks to the lateral parts 10a,b that are cut at an angle, a joint with a good fit and contact between the sheet metal profiles 9a,b is achieved, which provides a waterproof and visually neat joint.
• Figure 7 depicts the two bargeboard covers 9a,b according to the invention joined together according to Figure 6, but viewed from below in this case. It is evident from this how the inward-folded edges 15a,b on the right-hand sheet metal profile 9b constitute an exact space to accommodate the left-hand sheet metal profile 9a, so that the profile material in the sheet metal profiles 9a,b can lie fully against one another after installation and do not form a gap or a space between the profile surfaces.
• Figure 8 depicts an alternative variant of a sheet metal profile 16 according to the invention.
• FIG. 9 depicts another embodiment of sheet metal profiles 19a,b, viewed obliquely from the side, being in this case so-called roof end plates, with the end edges 21a,b of the lateral profiles 20a,b cut at an angle.
• the figure depicts two sheet metal profiles 19a,b which are in the process of being assembled together.
• Figure 10 depicts the roof end plates 19a,b according to Figure 9, but viewed from below in this case.
• Figure 11 depicts a further embodiment of sheet metal profiles 22a,b, in this case two upper tinplates prior to joining, viewed from below.
• Figure 12 depicts a further embodiment of sheet metal profiles 23a,b, in this case two stand-up sheets prior to joining, viewed from below.
• Figure 13 depicts a further embodiment of sheet metal profiles 24a,b, in this case two ridge caps prior to joining, viewed from below.
• Figure 14 depicts yet a further embodiment of a sheet metal profile 25, in this case a window ledge, viewed from below.
