Definitions
- the invention relates to an eave piece for a roof construction.
- the invention further relates to a system for a roof construction, the system having an eave piece.
- the sites where terraces are installed have different dimensions, so that the construction of the terrace requires, for example in abutments, working and shaping of the lumber to obtain well-fitted joints and suitable dimensions. Therefore, the construction may require several tools, and the building work is protracted. In many cases, it is also difficult to select a suitable fixing method, because the fixing has to be reliable and the terrace has to sustain, among other things, snow loads.
- terraces are often placed underneath the eaves of the building, where the available space is limited in the height direction.
- the terrace normally comprises inclined roof beams and transverse supporting beams placed under them, supported by columns.
- battens or other transverse supporting structures for a roofing or for sheet-like panels are placed on the roof beam.
- the structure becomes thick and takes a lot of space in the vertical direction, being difficult to accommodate under the eaves.
- not enough space would be left under the roof beams for standing persons. Therefore, it is often not possible to build a terrace, or other solutions have to be sought which are structurally more complex or more difficult to install.

Description
- The invention relates to an eave piece for a roof construction. The invention further relates to a system for a roof construction, the system having an eave piece.
- In various roof constructions, which are also represented by terrace constructions of buildings, it is known to use e.g. lumber, such as battens, boards, beams, and spars.
- The sites where terraces are installed, have different dimensions, so that the construction of the terrace requires, for example in abutments, working and shaping of the lumber to obtain well-fitted joints and suitable dimensions. Therefore, the construction may require several tools, and the building work is protracted. In many cases, it is also difficult to select a suitable fixing method, because the fixing has to be reliable and the terrace has to sustain, among other things, snow loads.
- Terraces are often placed underneath the eaves of the building, where the available space is limited in the height direction. The terrace normally comprises inclined roof beams and transverse supporting beams placed under them, supported by columns. In addition, several battens or other transverse supporting structures for a roofing or for sheet-like panels are placed on the roof beam. As a result, the structure becomes thick and takes a lot of space in the vertical direction, being difficult to accommodate under the eaves. In many cases, not enough space would be left under the roof beams for standing persons. Therefore, it is often not possible to build a terrace, or other solutions have to be sought which are structurally more complex or more difficult to install.

FR 2757891 A1 - The eave piece for a roof construction according to the invention is presented in
claim 1. The system for a roof construction according to the invention is presented in claim 4. - Said roof construction is, for example, a terrace of a building, a terrace or the like equipped with glass walls, a roofing, a shelter, or a roof in connection with a balcony of a building, and the balcony can also be equipped with a glazing or glass walls. Said roof construction is, for example, a lean-to or saddleback roofing, shelter, or a corresponding construction separate from buildings. If necessary, said construction comprises a foundation or a floor, and the roof construction is supported by supporting columns or wall structures.

Figures 1, 2 and3 show an example of a construction in which the system according to the solution for a roof construction is applied. It is a lean-on roofing or shelter, or particularly a roof construction for a terrace of a building. - The construction comprises a number of
separate eave pieces 1, each constituting an extension to aroof beam 7. Theeave piece 1 is connected to one end of theroof beam 7, or in its immediate vicinity. Preferably, theeave piece 1 is connected to the end surface of theroof beam 7. According to some other examples, the eave piece is configured to be fastened to one or more sides of the roof beam, for example its opposite side surfaces or opposite upper and lower surfaces. The eave piece is a prefabricated piece separate from the roof beam, preferably ready to be used without working or shaping of the material, at least with respect to its recesses. - The eave piece is preferably a piece made of aluminium or an aluminium alloy, or another metal. In an example, the eave piece is made of plastic or another material which is preferably resistant to exposure to a range of weather conditions. As the
roof beam 7, it is possible to use, for example, a wood beam, an aluminium profile, or the like. - The eave piece constitutes an extension to the
roof beam 7, the widths of the roof beam and the eave piece correspond substantially to each other. The eave piece constitutes a cantilever at the end of theroof beam 7, is supported to thefront beam 8, and extends across thefront beam 8. The eave piece supports thepanel 6 extending beyond the front beam. Preferably, the eave piece extends so far that agutter 2 can be placed on top of it and on the front side of the front beam, for collecting water running down the panel. - In an example, the
roof beam 7 is made of a wooden material, aluminium or aluminium alloy; has an elongated, rectangular shape; is larger in its height than its width when in place; and is a beam-like or board-like piece. Other materials and metals are also feasible. The roof beam is, for example, a beam or a profile having a size of e.g. 135 mm × 66 mm and being provided with an elongated groove on two opposite narrow sides. Said groove is provided for e.g. fastenings. - The installed
roof beam 7 is either substantially horizontal or preferably in an inclined position, so that rainwater can be conveyed off the roof construction. In other words, one end of the roof beam is lower than the other, opposite end of the roof beam. Said opposite end is placed, for example, underneath the eave of the building, in the case of e.g. the roof construction for a terrace. - The
eave piece 1 is provided with fastening members, for example openings, intended for screws and placed at one end of the eave piece. Said openings are placed, for example, in a plate-like wall 43 in the eave piece 1 (seeFig. 6 ). - The eave pieces are supported by a
front beam 8 placed under eacheave piece 1. Indirectly, thefront beam 8 also supports the roof beams 7, particularly their ends. - In an example, the
front beam 8 is an elongated, beam-like piece whose cross-sectional shape may vary in different embodiments, but the shape of its top surface follows at least partly the form of a circular arch. The front beam is a piece which is preferably made of aluminium or an aluminium alloy, or another metal, for example by extrusion of the metal. In an example, the front beam is made of plastic or another material which is preferably resistant to exposure to a range of weather conditions and is dimensioned to sustain the load caused by the roof beams. The front beam is, for example, a beam or a profile, for example an aluminium profile or the like. - In an example, a space is provided inside the
front beam 8 for an elongated support block which is inserted in the beam, is supported to the structures inside thefront beam 8, and is used as a stiffener and/or areinforcement 64 for the front beam (seeFig. 8 ). The support block can also have the shape of a column, a beam, or a batten, and it may also be hollow. The material of the reinforcement is, for example, metal or wood. - In an example, the open ends of the
front beam 8 are closed with end plugs or covers 24. - In the installed position, the
front beam 8 is substantially horizontal and transverse to the roof beams 7. - According to the presented solution, the
front beam 8 and theeave piece 1 constitute parts which are functionally connected to each other and which form a system for a roof construction, or a part of said system, when the roof construction is one of those described above. Alternatively, the system or a part of it is formed by arear beam 34 and aneave piece 31 to be described below. In addition, the system may include at least a roof beam. - In an example, the
front beam 8 is supported by one or more verticalfront columns 19, whose upper end is fastened to the lower surface of thefront beam 8. The material of the front column is, for example, wood or metal. If necessary, the lower end of thefront column 8 comprises a leg or a corresponding supporting structure which is supported to the ground, a floor, or a foundation. - According to the example shown in
Figs. 1, 2 and3 , one end of eachroof beam 7 is fastened to arear beam 14 supporting the roof beams. The end of theroof beam 7 is fastened to the side surface of therear beam 14, for example by means of a fitting 21. - In an example, the
rear beam 14 is an elongated, beam-like piece whose cross-sectional shape may vary in different embodiments. The rear beam is a piece which is preferably made of aluminium or an aluminium alloy, or another metal, for example by extrusion of the metal. In an example, the rear beam is made of plastic or another material which is preferably resistant to exposure to a range of weather conditions. The rear beam is, for example, a beam or a profile, for example an aluminium profile or the like. - In an example, the open ends of the
rear beam 14 are closed with end plugs or covers 23. - According to some examples, the
rear beam 14 is fastened to a building, for example to the wall of the building. Alternatively or in addition, therear beam 14 is supported by one or more verticalrear columns 22 whose upper end is fastened to the lower surface of therear beam 14. The material of therear column 22 is, for example, wood or metal. - In an example, one or more side beams 13 are fastened to the side surface of the
front beam 8, preferably by means of a fitting 16. The side beam is preferably made of aluminium or an aluminium alloy, but it can also be made of wood or another material. The side beam is, for example, a batten, a beam or a profile, for example an aluminium profile or the like. - In the installed position, the
side beam 13 is substantially vertical. The side beam is normally placed directly underneath the roof beam. One end of theside beam 13 is fastened to thefront beam 8 on one hand, for example by means of the fitting 16, and to the rear column on the other hand, for example by means of a fitting 25, or to another construction, such as the wall of a building that supports the system. - One or more sheet-
like panels 6, preferably of glass, are fastened on top of the roof beams 7. In an example,several panels 6 are provided in parallel, and one or two side edges of somepanels 6 are placed on top of theroof beam 7. Theoutermost panels 6 of the roof construction may extend beyond theroof beam 7. In an example, at least oneside eave piece 10 is provided under the outermost panels, fastened to the side edge of theroof beam 7 and supporting thepanel 6 from below. - The side eave piece is preferably a piece made of aluminium or an aluminium alloy, or another metal. In an example, the eave piece is made of plastic or another material which is preferably resistant to exposure to a range of weather conditions and is dimensioned to sustain the load caused by the panels. The side eave piece constitutes a cantilever on the side of the roof beam.
- A
cover fillet 5 is also installed on the side edge of thepanel 6 to cover the gap between two adjacent panels. In an example, thecover fillet 5 is an elongated, beam-like piece whose cross-sectional shape may vary in different embodiments. The cover fillet is a piece which is preferably made of aluminium or an aluminium alloy, or another metal, for example by extrusion of the metal. In an example, the cover fillet is made of plastic or another material which is preferably resistant to exposure to a range of weather conditions. - In the installed position, the
cover fillet 5 is substantially parallel to the roof beams 7. The cover fillet is normally placed directly above the roof beam but on top of thepanel 6. - One, two or more panels are provided one after the other. Each panel may consist of one or more parts. The longitudinal dimension of the
panel 6 is preferably fitted so that it extends continuously from the crest of the roof construction all the way to the eave. The gap remaining between adjacent panels is closed or covered, for example with a sealing or a cover fillet. - In an example, a
cover fillet 5 is fastened to theeave piece 1. Theeave piece 1 is provided withfastening members 51 for the cover fillet 5 (seeFig. 6 ), for example openings or holes which are intended for screws and placed on thetop surface 52 of the eave piece. - In an alternative, the structure of the presented system is provided with ventilation, one or more channels being provided in the
rear beam 14, or between therear beam 14 and thepanel 6, or between thepanels 6, or in theroof beam 7, to allow a flow of air through the roof construction. Said air flow is conveyed either by gravity or by machine. - In an example, said channel for ventilation can be opened and closed, wherein the structure of the system is provided with e.g. a lid that can be opened and closed. The lid can be opened either manually, for example by means of a mechanism, or by a motor. In another example, one or more panels can be opened and closed, for example by sliding it in the direction of the roof beam or by turning the panel upwards.

separate eave pieces 31, each constituting an extension to aroof beam 7. Theeave piece 1 is fastened to one end of theroof beam 7, and theeave piece 31 is fastened to the other, opposite end of the roof beam. Theeave piece 31 is a prefabricated, separate piece, preferably ready to be used without working or shaping of the material, at least with respect to its recesses. - The
eave piece 31 is preferably a piece made of aluminium or an aluminium alloy, or another metal.

Theeave piece 31 constitutes a cantilever at the opposite end of theroof beam 7, is supported to therear beam 34, and extends across therear beam 34. Theeave piece 31 supports thepanel 6 extending across therear beam 34. - The
eave pieces 31 are supported by therear beam 34 which extends below all theeave pieces 31. Indirectly, therear beam 34 also supports the roof beams 7, particularly their ends. - According to the example shown in
Fig. 5 , the structure of therear beam 34 corresponds to the structure of thefront beam 8. In an example, the open ends of therear beam 34 are closed with end plugs or covers 32. In the installed position, therear beam 34 is substantially vertical, parallel with thefront beam 8 and transverse to the roof beams 7. - In an example, the
rear beam 34 is supported by one or more verticalrear columns 33, whose upper end is fastened to the lower surface of therear beam 34. Therear column 33 and thefront column 19 are now connected by aside beam 13. -

In the presented example, the structure is formed by two parallel side surfaces 49 and 50 of the eave piece, having cut-outshapes - At one end, the eave piece is provided with
members 43 for fastening to the end of a roof beam. According to some other examples, the eave piece extends to one or more side surfaces of the roof beam, for fastening. - According to yet another example, the eave piece extends to an elongated groove of the roof beam, or to the inside of the roof beam, for fastening.
- The other, opposite end of the eave piece is provided with, for example, a covering
end wall 47. In an example,members 48 are provided on the side of thetop surface 52 of the eave piece, for locking the eave piece and thefront beam 8 to each other. In an example,members 51 are provided on the side of thetop surface 52 of the eave piece for fastening a cover fillet. - In the eave piece, the
recess 42 is placed in the area between therecess 41 and the end of theroof beam 7, or in the area between the outermost end of the eave piece and the end to be fastened to the roof beam. - In an example, the eave piece has a shape whose vertical thickness decreases in the direction away from the roof beam and from that end of the eave piece which is fastened to the roof beam. The thickness is smallest at the outermost end of the eave piece, if the recesses are not taken into account. The
top surface 52 of the eave piece is preferably flat along its whole length, unless it is provided with arecess 41 for a gutter, or this is disregarded. Thus, the whole top surface of the eave piece, either in whole or in part, can be placed under apanel 6 and support the same. - In an example where the eave piece is provided with a gutter, the
panel 6 only covers the eave piece in part. In another example, where the eave piece is not provided with a gutter or arecess 41 for a gutter, thepanel 6 can cover the whole eave piece. - In an example, the eave piece extends across the front beam, and the distance from the
recess 42 to that end of the eave piece which is fastened to the roof beam is shorter than the distance from therecess 42 to the outermost other end of the eave piece. Preferably, the eave piece extends from the roof beam across the front beam and down to the side surface of the front beam, or horizontally to the side of the side surface of the front beam, forming a cantilever from it. Said cantilever supports e.g. a gutter or a panel. - The shape of the
recess 42 follows the form of a circular arch, preferably covering a sector of substantially 180° of a circle. In another example, said shape covers a sector smaller than 180° of a circle. Said shape is configured so that it allows varying positions between the eave piece and the front beam, for the installation and for varying positions of the roof construction. Said position will depend on the site of installation in e.g. buildings. The system for the roof construction and the roof construction applying the system have to be installed with a desired inclination which may be different in different sites of installation. However, the shape of the recess provides a sufficiently large supporting surface with respect to the front beam and irrespective of the angular position of the eave piece. - In an example, the shape of the recess covers two straight shapes which are joined by a circular arch and which constitute kinds of side walls. The side walls are preferably parallel when the circular arch corresponds to a semicircle (a sector of 180° of a circle), and the side walls are placed on opposite sides of the front beam. Thus, the angular difference between the walls is 0°. The side walls can also have an angular difference which is greater than 0° but preferably smaller than 10° or smaller than 20°.
- The circular arch of the recess is dimensioned so that it provides a sufficiently large supporting surface with respect to the front beam and irrespective of the angular position of the eave piece. Preferably, the circular arch is also placed in such a way that it prevents the movement of the recess and thereby of the eave piece with respect to the front beam. Thus, this refers to a movement in those two opposite directions which are parallel to the longitudinal direction of the roof beam.
- With respect to its shape and circular arch, the recess is configured so large that it extends so far across the front beam that a movement in the above-mentioned two directions is not possible without lifting up the eave piece away from the front beam. In another example, said shape covers a sector of at least 90° of a circle. In another example, said shape covers a sector of at least 70° of a circle.
- In an example, all or some of the features of the
eave piece 1 presented in this specification and particularly in connection withFig. 6 relate to theeave piece 31 as well. Thus, therecess 42 is intended for therear beam 34, and the dimensions and the placement relating to the shape of the recess follow the principles laid out in this specification. Preferably, identical eave pieces can be used at both ends of the roof beam, and therecess 42 is dimensioned and placed in such a way that the eave piece can be oriented diagonally downward as well as diagonally upward, as shown inFig. 4 . -
Figure 8 shows the front beam in more detail. In this example, asupport block 64 is provided inside thefront beam 8 for stiffening or reinforcing thefront beam 8. Afront column 19 can be fastened to thelower surface 62 of the front beam, facing down in the use position. - The structure of the recess of the eave piece is placed against the
top surface 61 of the front beam. The shape of thetop surface 61 follows the form of a circular arch, preferably covering a sector of substantially 180° of a circle. In another example shown inFig. 8 , said shape covers a sector larger than 180° of a circle, for example at least 200°. In an example, said shape covers a sector larger by at least 10° or at least 20° of a circle than the corresponding structure of the recess of the eave piece. - The shape of the
top surface 61 cooperates with the shape of the recess of the eave piece. With respect to its shape and the circular arch, thetop surface 61 is configured to extend across the front beam so widely and is placed in such a way that the movement of the eave piece or the front beam in said two directions is not possible without simultaneously lifting up the eave piece away from the front beam. - In another example, the
front beam 8 consists of two or more parts, whereby theshape 61 of the top surface is provided in one piece which is placed on top of the first, elongated beam-like lower part and constitutes the top part of thefront beam 8. Said top part has the features which have been described above. The shape and the circular arch of thetop surface 61 and, if necessary, also part of the shapes of the side surfaces of thefront beam 8, are provided in said top part. Said top part can be an elongated beam-like part, or preferably it is a short piece placed below theeave piece 1, several parts being placed on top of the lower part of the front beam, under theroof beam 7. Thus, thefront beam 8 is provided with several such top parts, spaced from each other and placed under the roof beam each. The top and bottom parts of thefront beam 8 are fastened to each other. - In an example, a groove or a
gutter 63 is provided on at least one side of the front beam, extending in the longitudinal direction of the front beam. Thegutter 63 is configured to collect liquid running along or condensed on the side surface of the front beam. - The
front beam 8 is also provided with grooves, incisions, recesses or openings needed for fastening other parts of the system. Preferably, thelower surface 62 of thefront beam 8 is provided with a groove in the longitudinal direction of the front beam, for receiving the top edge of a glass panel. - In an example, all or some of the features of the
front beam 8 presented above and particularly in connection withFig. 8 relate to therear beam 34 as well. Therear beam 34 can also consist of two or more separate parts. Preferably, the same beam structure can also be used as thefront beam 8 and as therear beam 34. - The presented system for a roof construction and its various embodiments are not limited solely to the examples presented in the appended drawings or particularly discussed in the above specification, or referred to in the specification.
- The above presented particular features of the system can also be combined and implemented in various combinations which are not presented in the above examples. In particular, in the case of a roof construction for a terrace, a roofing, a shelter, or another corresponding construction, the above-presented parts of the system are combined in such a way that the desired construction is formed.
- The different embodiments of the invention are disclosed in the appended claims.
