Description

Domaine technique de l'inventionTechnical field of the invention

L'invention concerne le domaine technique des toitures dites en pente réalisées à partir de tuiles ou d'ardoises disposées sur une charpente de bâtiment. Plus particulièrement, l'invention porte sur un closoir.The invention relates to the technical field of so-called sloping roofs made from tiles or slates arranged on a building frame. More particularly, the invention relates to a closure.

Arrière-plan technologique de l'inventionTechnological background of the invention

Les tuiles dites « de plain carré » et les ardoises sont des éléments disposés sur la charpente et assemblés entre eux pour former une toiture. Les tuiles de plain carré peuvent être réalisées en terre cuite, en béton ou en matériau synthétique, et les ardoises peuvent être réalisées en ardoise naturelle ou en ardoise synthétique à base de ciment.The so-called "plain square" tiles and slates are elements arranged on the frame and assembled together to form a roof. Plain square tiles can be made of terracotta, concrete or synthetic material, and slates can be made of natural slate or synthetic slate based on cement.

La toiture comprend au moins un pan et préférentiellement deux pans couverts de tuiles de plain carré ou ardoises. Chaque pan est incliné selon un angle déterminé. La toiture comprend une ligne de faitage en partie supérieure du pan. Cette ligne de faitage suit la même direction que la panne faitière de la charpente du toit du bâtiment. Classiquement, la ligne faitière est constituée de tuiles faitières spécifiques par rapport à des tuiles de plain carré couvrant le pan de toiture par leur forme, leur positionnement sur la toiture et leur fonction.The roof comprises at least one side and preferably two sides covered with plain square tiles or slates. Each side is inclined at a determined angle. The roof includes a ridge line in the upper part of the slope. This ridge line runs in the same direction as the ridge purlin of the roof structure of the building. Classically, the ridge line is made up of specific ridge tiles compared to plain square tiles covering the roof section by their shape, their positioning on the roof and their function.

La fonction première des tuiles de plain carré et des ardoises est de former une couche imperméable aux intempéries, et plus particulièrement à la pénétration des eaux de pluie dans l'habitation. Cette étanchéité est obtenue soit par emboîtement des tuiles de plain carré les unes sur les autres par des chicanes, soit par un fort taux de recouvrement des tuiles de plain carré ou ardoises les unes sur les autres. Dans tous les cas, l'étanchéité nécessaire à la pluie se traduit également par une étanchéité à l'air.The primary function of plain square tiles and slates is to form a layer impermeable to bad weather, and more particularly to the penetration of rainwater into the dwelling. This watertightness is obtained either by interlocking the plain square tiles on top of each other by baffles, or by a high rate of overlapping of the plain square tiles or slates on top of each other. In any case, the necessary sealing against rain also translates into airtightness.

Il est également courant de compléter cette étanchéité aux précipitations par un écran textile disposé quelques centimètres sous la couche formée par les tuiles ou les ardoises. Cet écran textile est couramment appelé « écran de sous-toiture ».It is also common to complete this waterproofing against precipitation with a textile screen placed a few centimeters under the layer formed by the tiles or slates. This textile screen is commonly called “under-roof screen”.

Afin d'éviter un accroissement du taux d'humidité du volume d'air situé sous la couche des tuiles ou ardoises et au-dessus de l'écran de sous-toiture, ainsi que d'éviter de laisser un volume d'air s'échauffer notablement entre les tuiles ou ardoises et l'écran de sous-toiture lors de l'exposition du toit au soleil, il est connu de ventiler naturellement ce volume d'air. Pour ce faire, de l'air frais est admis par des ouvertures disposées dans la partie basse de la toiture, et l'air réchauffé sous les tuiles ou ardoises s'échappe naturellement par d'autres ouvertures disposées dans la partie haute de la toiture, au niveau de la ligne de faitage et des tuiles faitières.In order to avoid an increase in the humidity level of the volume of air located under the layer of tiles or slates and above the under-roof screen, as well as to avoid leaving a volume of air s noticeably warm between the tiles or slates and the screen under-roof when the roof is exposed to the sun, it is known to naturally ventilate this volume of air. To do this, fresh air is admitted through openings arranged in the lower part of the roof, and the heated air under the tiles or slates naturally escapes through other openings arranged in the upper part of the roof. , at the level of the ridge line and the ridge tiles.

Les tuiles faitières habillent le faîte, partie haute du toit correspondant à l'arête formée par la rencontre entre les deux pans de la toiture, dans un but esthétique et dans un objectif d'étanchéité à l'eau. La tuile faîtière vient fermer de manière étanche la ligne de jonction supérieure de deux pans de toiture, et devient ainsi une ligne de partage et d'évacuation des eaux pluviales. Les tuiles faîtières sont des tuiles galbées, arrondies, angulaires ou encore en chapeau qui sont disposées à cheval au sommet des deux pans de la toiture.The ridge tiles cover the ridge, the upper part of the roof corresponding to the ridge formed by the meeting between the two sides of the roof, for aesthetic purposes and for the purpose of watertightness. The ridge tile seals off the upper junction line of two roof sections, and thus becomes a dividing line and draining rainwater. The ridge tiles are curved, rounded, angular or hat-shaped tiles which are arranged astride the top of the two sides of the roof.

Pour faire la liaison entre cette ligne de faitage et le ou les pans de toiture sur lesquelles elle repose, il est connu d'utiliser une pièce appelée closoir. Cette pièce, disposée sous les tuiles faitières, se présente globalement sous la forme d'un profil de grande longueur de section en V inversé s'étendant globalement sur toute la ligne de faitage du toit. Le closoir est obtenu par une tôle souple, parfois gaufrée transversalement, que l'on vient dérouler au long de la ligne de faitage et que l'on rabat symétriquement sur chaque pan de toiture ou par des éléments longs rigides formés d'une tôle métallique prolongée sur les bords longitudinaux côté par deux bavettes souples, gaufrées, disposées de chaque côté, ces bavettes étant rabattues symétriquement sur chaque pan de toiture. Le closoir épousant la surface du toit donne une étanchéité suffisante, à l'eau et à l'air.To make the connection between this ridge line and the roof sections or sections on which it rests, it is known to use a part called a closure. This piece, arranged under the ridge tiles, is generally in the form of a very long profile with an inverted V section extending globally over the entire ridge line of the roof. The closure is obtained by a flexible sheet, sometimes embossed transversely, which is unrolled along the ridge line and which is folded symmetrically on each roof section or by long rigid elements formed from a metal sheet extended on the longitudinal side edges by two flexible flaps, embossed, arranged on each side, these flaps being folded down symmetrically on each roof section. The closure that hugs the surface of the roof gives sufficient water and air tightness.

Pour permettre la ventilation requise, la partie médiane du closoir est perforée. Toutefois, l'air qui s'échappe se retrouve bloqué sous la ligne de faitières et il est difficile de surélever ces faitières pour laisser passer l'air sans laisser passer également l'eau des précipitations poussée par le vent. La surélévation étant laissée à l'appréciation du poseur, la section de ventilation requise n'est pas contrôlée et souvent insuffisante. Une alternative connue consiste à munir les faitières des points d'appui en excroissance pour les soulever, mais cette modification conduit à des outillages de production coûteux, et la fabrication des faitières devient plus difficile.To allow the required ventilation, the middle part of the enclosure is perforated. However, the air that escapes becomes blocked under the line of ridges and it is difficult to raise these ridges to let the air pass without also letting the water from the precipitation pushed by the wind. As the elevation is left to the discretion of the installer, the required ventilation section is not controlled and often insufficient. A known alternative consists in providing the ridges with protruding support points to lift them, but this modification leads to expensive production tools, and the manufacture of the ridges becomes more difficult.

Enfin, les bavettes gaufrées dépassant sous la ligne de faitage sont inesthétiques. FR 2 935 009 et EP 3 176 344 décrivent deux closoirs de l'état de l'art.Finally, the embossed flaps protruding below the ridge line are unsightly. FR 2 935 009 and EP 3 176 344 describe two closures of the state of the art.

L'ensemble des facteurs tels que ci-dessus sont plus sensibles lorsque les éléments utilisés pour la couverture ont une forme plane, telles que les ardoises, les tuiles plates et les tuiles à pureau plat. Les tuiles faitières reposent sur la surface plane des tuiles selon une ligne génératrice continue et rectiligne, et la ventilation est malaisée.All of the factors as above are more sensitive when the elements used for roofing have a flat shape, such as slates, flat tiles and flat gauge tiles. The ridge tiles rest on the flat surface of the tiles according to a continuous and rectilinear generating line, and ventilation is difficult.

Objet de l'inventionObject of the invention

L'invention a pour but de remédier à tout ou partie des inconvénients précités et notamment à permettre une ventilation de la toiture au niveau de la ligne de faitage tout en se préservant des entrées d'eau et en respectant l'esthétique générale de la toiture.The object of the invention is to remedy all or part of the aforementioned drawbacks and in particular to allow ventilation of the roof at the level of the ridge line while protecting against water ingress and respecting the general aesthetics of the roof. .

À cet effet, l'invention a pour objet un closoir configuré pour être intégré partiellement sous une ligne de tuiles faitières de toiture, le closoir ayant les caractéristiques de la revendication 1.To this end, the subject of the invention is a closure configured to be partially integrated under a line of roof ridge tiles, the closure having the characteristics of claim 1.

Le closoir de l'invention permet une liaison étanche à l'eau des pans de toiture tout en améliorant la ventilation sous toiture par la double ventilation opérée directement sous les tuiles faitières grâce à au moins une ouverture ménagée sur la portion centrale du closoir et à la base des tuiles faitières grâce à au moins une ouïe de ventilation équipant chaque ailette latérale. Avantageusement, le closoir est en grande partie recouvert par la succession de tuiles faitières formant la ligne de faitage. Ainsi, la première partie de chaque repli de chaque ailette latérale permet de mimer l'épaisseur d'une tuile de plain carré disposée sous le faitage. Cette configuration permet de conserver l'esthétique du toit jusqu'à la ligne de faitage.The closure of the invention allows a watertight connection of the roof sections while improving the ventilation under the roof by the double ventilation operated directly under the ridge tiles thanks to at least one opening made on the central portion of the closure and to the base of the ridge tiles thanks to at least one ventilation opening fitted each side fin. Advantageously, the closure is largely covered by the succession of ridge tiles forming the ridge line. Thus, the first part of each fold of each side fin makes it possible to mimic the thickness of a plain square tile placed under the ridge. This configuration makes it possible to preserve the aesthetics of the roof up to the ridge line.

Selon une caractéristique de l'invention, le closoir comprend une première face destinée à être recouverte par une tuile faitière et une deuxième face opposée destinée à être en regard de la toiture et de la charpente.According to one characteristic of the invention, the closure comprises a first face intended to be covered by a ridge tile and a second opposite face intended to face the roof and the framework.

Selon une caractéristique de l'invention, le closoir est une pièce réalisée préférentiellement en métal, pour des raisons de coûts de fabrication. Alternativement, le closoir selon l'invention peut être réalisé en matière plastique.According to one characteristic of the invention, the closure is a part preferably made of metal, for reasons of manufacturing costs. Alternatively, the closure according to the invention can be made of plastic.

Selon une caractéristique de l'invention, le closoir se présente sous la forme d'un profil allongé selon un axe longitudinal. Préférentiellement, le closoir a globalement une forme d'un « V » inversé.According to one characteristic of the invention, the closure is in the form of an elongated profile along a longitudinal axis. Preferably, the closure generally has the shape of an inverted “V”.

Avantageusement, le profil du closoir est symétrique selon un axe longitudinal X-X médian.Advantageously, the profile of the closure is symmetrical along a longitudinal axis X-X median.

Préférentiellement, la longueur du closoir est d'environ 2 mètres, en fonction du mode de réalisation et de la taille de la ligne de faitage à couvrir. Avantageusement, plusieurs closoirs sont disposés sur la ligne de faitage, les uns à la suite des autres.Preferably, the length of the closure is about 2 meters, depending on the embodiment and the size of the ridge line to be covered. Advantageously, several closures are arranged on the ridge line, one after the other.

Selon une caractéristique de l'invention, le closoir une première extrémité et une deuxième extrémité.According to a feature of the invention, the closure has a first end and a second end.

Selon une caractéristique de l'invention, la première extrémité est droite dans le sens de la longueur, comme si elle était coupée net dans un plan perpendiculaire à sa longueur.According to a characteristic of the invention, the first end is straight in the direction of the length, as if it were cut clean in a plane perpendicular to its length.

Selon une caractéristique de l'invention, la deuxième extrémité est asymétrique par rapport à la première extrémité selon un axe transversal médian Y-Y.According to one characteristic of the invention, the second end is asymmetrical with respect to the first end along a median transverse axis Y-Y.

Selon une caractéristique de l'invention, la deuxième extrémité présente un prolongement de chaque ailette latérale sur une longueur déterminée, chaque prolongement étant conformé pour recouvrir et/ou coopérer avec les ailettes latérales d'un closoir adjacent, c'est-à-dire aligné côte à côte dans le sens de la longueur. Cette configuration permet de garantir une étanchéité aux précipitations et une reprise étanche au niveau de deux closoirs adjacents.According to one characteristic of the invention, the second end has an extension of each side fin over a determined length, each extension being shaped to cover and/or cooperate with the side fins of an adjacent closure, that is to say lined up side by side lengthwise. This configuration makes it possible to guarantee impermeability to precipitation and a leaktight recovery at the level of two adjacent closures.

Selon une caractéristique de l'invention, la portion supérieure est destinée à chevaucher la lisse de rehausse de la charpente.According to a feature of the invention, the upper portion is intended to overlap the frame raising rail.

Selon une caractéristique de l'invention, la portion supérieure est plane, préférentiellement étroite, destinée à être posée de manière centrée sur la ligne de faitage de la charpente.According to one characteristic of the invention, the upper portion is flat, preferably narrow, intended to be placed centered on the ridge line of the framework.

Selon une caractéristique de l'invention, chaque pan de la portion centrale est incliné.

Description détailléedetailed description

Le closoir 10 selon l'invention est configuré pour être positionné sous au moins une tuile faîtière d'une ligne de tuiles faitières d'une toiture. Avantageusement, la ligne de faîtière d'une toiture est couverte d'une pluralité de closoirs, préférentiellement identiques, alignés longitudinalement le long de la ligne faîtière. Les closoirs ainsi alignés forment une ligne de closoirs, recouverte par des tuiles faîtières alignés les unes à la suite des autres longitudinalement, selon la ligne faîtière. Cette configuration est illustrée en figure 4.The closure 10 according to the invention is configured to be positioned under at least one ridge tile of a line of ridge tiles of a roof. Advantageously, the ridge line of a roof is covered with a plurality of closures, preferably identical, aligned longitudinally along the ridge line. The cloisters thus aligned form a line of cloisters, covered by ridge tiles aligned one after the other longitudinally, along the ridge line. This configuration is illustrated in figure 4 .

En figure 3, le closoir 10 illustré comprend une première face destinée à être recouverte par une tuile faitière 101 et une deuxième face opposée destinée à être en regard de la toiture 103 et de la charpente.In picture 3 , the closure 10 illustrated comprises a first face intended to be covered by a ridge tile 101 and a second opposite face intended to face the roof 103 and the framework.

Pour la suite de la description, seul un closoir 10 est décrit. Bien entendu, cette description peut être appliquée à chacun des closoirs 10 recouvrant la ligne faîtière.For the rest of the description, only a closure 10 is described. Of course, this description can be applied to each of the closures 10 covering the ridge line.

Comme on peut le voir en figure 1, le closoir 10 selon l'invention est formé d'une unique pièce profilée comprenant plusieurs portions 23, 11, 12. Le closoir 10 se présente sous la forme d'un profil allongé selon un axe longitudinal X-X ayant préférentiellement, une forme globale de « V » inversé. Dans l'exemple illustré aux figures 1 à 4, le profil du closoir 10 est symétrique selon un axe longitudinal X-X médian.As can be seen in figure 1 , the closure 10 according to the invention is formed from a single profiled piece comprising several portions 23, 11, 12. The closure 10 is in the form of an elongated profile along a longitudinal axis XX preferably having an overall shape of Inverted "V". In the example shown in figures 1 to 4 , the profile of the closure 10 is symmetrical along a median longitudinal axis XX.

Le closoir 10 comprend une première portion dite portion supérieure 23, globalement plane comme illustré. La portion supérieure 23 du closoir 10 est destinée à être coiffée d'au moins une tuile faitière d'une ligne de tuiles faitières et à être directement au contact de ladite au moins une tuile faitière 101. La portion supérieure 23, comme on peut le voir en figure 2, est telle une corde sur l'arc de cercle formé par la section transversale de la au moins une tuile faitière 101, c'est-à-dire la portion supérieure 23 représente un segment qui a deux extrémités, qui si elles sont projetées sur la tuile faitière 101, forment deux points de contact distincts sur la section transversale de la au moins une tuile faitière 101.The closure 10 comprises a first portion called the upper portion 23, generally planar as illustrated. The upper portion 23 of the closure 10 is intended to be topped with at least one ridge tile from a line of ridge tiles and to be directly in contact with said at least one ridge tile 101. The upper portion 23, as can be see in figure 2 , is like a chord on the arc of a circle formed by the cross section of the at least one ridge tile 101, that is to say the upper portion 23 represents a segment that has two ends, which if projected onto the ridge tile 101, form two distinct contact points on the cross section of the at least one ridge tile 101.

Le closoir 10 comprend en outre une portion centrale comprenant deux pans 11, agencés chacun de part et d'autre de la portion supérieure 23 préférentiellement de manière symétrique par rapport à la portion supérieure. Comme on peut le voir en figure 1, chaque pan 11 est équipé d'une pluralité d'ouvertures 21 configurées pour ventiler l'intérieur de la ligne de tuiles faitières. Les ouvertures 21 d'un pan 11 peuvent être agencées de manière symétrique aux ouvertures de l'autre pan 11 ou en quinconce ou sans agencement précis. Les ouvertures 21 sont des orifices traversants.The closure 10 further comprises a central portion comprising two sections 11, each arranged on either side of the upper portion 23 preferably symmetrically with respect to the upper portion. As can be seen in figure 1 , each pan 11 is equipped with a plurality of openings 21 configured to ventilate the interior of the line of ridge tiles. The openings 21 of one side 11 can be arranged symmetrically to the openings of the other side 11 or staggered or without a precise arrangement. The openings 21 are through holes.

Chaque pan 11 de la portion centrale est incliné et s'étend depuis la partie plane de la portion supérieure 23, selon un angle ni plat ni droit et préférentiellement selon un angle compris entre 30° et 60°. Dans l'exemple illustré en figure 2, la portion centrale comprend un redan 22 à chaque extrémité de chaque pan 11. Le redan 22 peut être concave.Each panel 11 of the central portion is inclined and extends from the flat part of the upper portion 23, at an angle that is neither flat nor straight and preferably at an angle of between 30° and 60°. In the example shown in figure 2 , the central portion comprises a step 22 at each end of each face 11. The step 22 may be concave.

Le closoir 10 comprend en outre une portion inférieure 12 comprenant deux ailettes latérales 24, saillantes par rapport à la portion centrale. Chaque ailette latérale 24 comprend une portion inclinée par rapport à la portion centrale à laquelle elle est reliée, comme représenté en figure 2.
