Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a clamp for securing metal sheets to beams of roofing systems, roofs and the like.
  • the clips or clamps of the known type have a number of drawbacks arising from the fact securing thereof to the beams and the stringers is performed using nail guns which do not allow correct positioning of the clamp which remains fixed in a manner not perfectly at right angles to and aligned with the beams and/or stringers, resulting in the roof making a bothersome noise when temperature variations during the summer and winter cause expansion and contraction of the metal sheet.
  • fixing of the two parts to stationary structures does not allow compensation of the expansion of the metal sheets due to the temperature variations and with time said expansion causes damage to the roofing resulting in noisiness and leaks.
  • the technical problem which is posed therefore is that of providing a clamp for securing metal sheets for roofing, able to allow improved centring, relative alignment and perpendicular arrangement with respect to the support beams during positioning and fixing of the clamp and at the same time able to compensate for the relative movements of the metal sheets due to the thermal expansion thereof, in order to prevent noisiness of the roof and damage thereto resulting from the movements of the metal sheet in the longitudinal and transverse direction.
  • the clamp should allow fixing by means of screws at a speed which is equivalent to that of nailing and which is easy and inexpensive to produce and assemble.
  • Such a securing clamp comprises a horizontal base surface in which at least two through-holes are formed, and a vertical bearing surface, substantially perpendicular to the base surface, with raised transverse ribs and at least one longitudinal raised rib being formed in the base surface; fastening together of the base surface and the bearing surface is performed by means of a joint, between a horizontal edge of the base surface and a horizontal foot of the vertical surface, which ensures at least one degree of freedom for the relative sliding movement of the base surface and bearing surface in the longitudinal direction, and the two respective bottom sides of the base surface and foot of the bearing surface, which are intended to come into contact with the stringer of the roof, are coplanar with each other once joining has been performed.
  • joining together between the base surface and the bearing surface is performed between folded edges thereof lying in planes substantially parallel to the base surface.
  • the edge of the base surface intended to be joined to the horizontal foot of the bearing surface is shaped with a first fold which positions the top surface of the said edge at a height in the vertical direction Z-Z greater than that of the rest of the surface and with a second fold which positions the free end portion of the edge underneath and substantially parallel to the latter, forming a seat in the form of an inverted C extending in the longitudinal direction X-X and open in the transverse direction Y-Y on the opposite side to the side directed towards the bearing surface and designed to receive the horizontal foot of the vertical surface for joining together of the two surfaces;
  • the horizontal foot of the vertical bearing surface may have a first fold and a second fold such as to determine a C-shaped form of the foot arranged opposite the inverted C form of the edge of the base surface and with arms substantially parallel to the said base surface.
  • each hole is situated between two respective raised ribs extending in the transverse direction Y-Y, and the clamp may also have a free end of the vertical side having a first folded-back portion substantially parallel to the base surface.
  • Each folded-back portion may in turn have a free end folded back towards the bearing surface at an angle of between 115° and 165° and preferably between 135° and 145°.
  • the free edge of the vertical surface opposite to the edge for joining together with the base surface, has recesses arranged between first folded-back portions and substantially parallel to the transverse direction Y-Y.
  • the base surface can be joined to bearing surfaces having different dimensions in the vertical direction Z-Z.
  • a particularly advantageous embodiment is one in which the vertical bearing surface has a constant thickness equivalent to the thickness of the metal sheet from which it is formed.
  • an L-shaped clamp according to the invention comprises essentially:
  • the base surface 10 has at least one third hole 12 situated between the two said holes 11.
  • the horizontal edge 15 of the base surface 10 intended to be joined together with the vertical bearing surface 20 is conveniently shaped as a first fold 15a which positions the top side of the said edge 15 at a height in the vertical direction Z-Z greater than the height of the remainder of the surface 10; beyond this first fold 15a the free joining edge 15 has a second fold 15b which positions the free end portion 16 of the edge 15 below and substantially parallel to the latter, forming a seat in the form of an inverted C 17 extending in the longitudinal direction X-X and open the transverse direction Y-Y on the opposite side to that directed towards the bearing surface 20, being instead closed in the transverse direction Y-Y on the side thereof directed towards the bearing surface 20.
  • this C-shaped seat 17 is designed to receive a horizontal foot of the bearing surface 20, for joining together of the two surfaces.
  • Each hole 11 and the at least one hole 12 is preferably situated between two respective raised ribs 18a extending in the transverse direction Y-Y and connected at the end directed towards the free edge 10c opposite to the joining edge of the base surface 10 to a rib 18b extending in the longitudinal direction.
  • One of the said transverse ribs 18a therefore extends between each end hole 11 and the respective transverse side edge 10a,10b, preferably at a certain distance from the said edge 10a, 10b.
  • Each rib 18a has an end directed towards the vertical bearing surface 20 with a bottom seat 18c suitable for engagement with the fold 15a of the raised edge 15 of the base surface 10; the depth in the vertical direction of the seat 18c is such as to ensure the coplanar arrangement of the bottom side thereof with the top side of the base surface 15.
  • the vertical bearing surface 20 has in turn a foot 21 with a lengthwise dimension extending in the longitudinal direction X-X and widthwise dimension extending in the transverse direction Y-Y (below also conventionally defined as "horizontal direction") which has a first fold 21a and a second fold 21b such as to determine a C-shaped form of the foot arranged opposite the inverted C form of the edge 15 of the base surface 10.
  • the C-shaped foot preferably has dimensions such that:
  • the joint is such as to allow the relative movement of the two surfaces 10,20 in the longitudinal direction X-X and ensure the coplanar arrangement of the two respective bottom sides of the base surface 10 and the foot 21, which are intended to make contact with the stringer 3 of the roof.
  • joining together of the base surface 10 and the bearing surface 20 is performed between edges 15,16,21 thereof lying in planes parallel to the base surface 10, allowing, in preferred embodiments, the formation of the vertical bearing surface 20 with a constant thickness equivalent to the thickness alone of the sheet metal from which it is formed.
  • the bearing surface 20 to be made with a thickness substantially smaller than that of the base surface 10.
  • the thickness of the base surface 10 is between 1.5 and 2.5 times the thickness of the bearing surface 20.
  • the free edge 22 of the vertical surface 20, opposite to the foot 21 for joining together with the base surface 10 has recesses 22 arranged between first folds 22a substantially parallel to the transverse direction Y-Y and that each fold 22a has a free end 22b in turn folded back towards the second surface 20 at angle of between 115° and 165°, and preferably between 135° and 145,° so as to allow folding and closing without difficulty of the clamp onto the stringer 3 of a roof.
  • the transverse ribs 18a and longitudinal rib 18b of the base surface 10 of the flange perform the dual function of reinforcing the flange itself and guiding a centring tool 200 for inserting and screwing fixing screws 1.
  • the tool 200 forms part of a screwdriver device 400 with a screwing head 401 so that, during positioning and securing of the metal sheets 2 to the beams and/or stringers 3 of the roof, the hole 11,12 of the base surface 10 of the clamp may be centred and the screw 1 screwed precisely to the said beam while keeping the clamp squarely arranged and positioned.
  • the clamp according to the invention is able to compensate for the relative movements in the longitudinal direction due to thermal expansion/contraction of the metal sheets fixed by means of the clamp itself, leaving moreover a space between the bearing surface and the metal sheet able to compensate for the expansion movements in the transverse direction thereof and ensuring a longer working life of the roof which is not damaged by the said thermal expansion movements, as well as the substantial absence of noise normally caused by them, solving the problems mentioned in connection with the clamps of the prior art.
  • the clamp according to the invention can be applied by means of a fast screwing and centring tool which ensures fixing of the metal sheets forming the roofing to the said clamps with a laying speed comparable to that of nailing, but with a greater precision and the use of screws which ensure a tensile strength far superior to that of nails.
  • the better squared arrangement of the clamp once fixed also ensures a more silent behaviour of the sheet-metal roof since the movements due to the temperature variations take place in parallel directions which do not cause squeaking.
  • joining together of the base surface 10 and the bearing surface 20 may be performed using alternative joining systems, such as longitudinal eyelets formed in the respective edges and connected together by means of vertical rivets; these systems are within the scope of the person skilled in the art and therefore all equivalent to each other depending on the degree of freedom which is left between the two parts for relative sliding in the longitudinal direction and the space for transverse expansion of the seamed sheets.
  • said clamp may be produced with vertical bearing surfaces 20 having different dimensions in the vertical direction Z-Z, resulting in the possibility of obtaining a clamp assembled with a vertical bearing surface having a height better suited to the specific application.
