Description

Roof or roof formed by juxtaposition of corrugated sheets, with a cover or an apparatus set above.

The present invention relates to a roof, a roof or an analogous building element, consisting of medium of corrugated sheets that can be joined by the edges, which comprises a device for fixing a cover of protection or insulation or for securing various devices on this roof.

Roofs have been known for more than a century or similar cover elements, formed by sturdy plates corrugated, particularly made of a fiber type material of cement or steel, and more recently of polyester resin, armed or not with glass fibers or the like.

These corrugated sheets are suitable for forming a continuous coating, which separates the interior and exterior of any construction, particularly to protect the inside of it under the roof thus formed with respect to infiltrations of rainwater or others, collecting this in the upper part of the lining in the cavities of the undulations of the plates, to flow outwards if the roof has a convenient inclination with respect to the horizontal.

These corrugated plates generally present relatively limited dimensions so that the coating it is necessarily formed by the juxtaposition of such plates, covering each other at an appropriate distance according to their edges adjacent, housing at least the last undulation of an iron inside the corresponding undulation of the plate next overlapping in part with this one.

These solutions are however rudimentary and they do not allow the roof to present a tightness completely satisfactory, with water being able to infiltrate between plates in place of their coating areas. In addition, you are plates perform a mediocre thermal insulation between the interior and the exterior of the construction.

Therefore it is often indispensable place on the roof formed by adjacent plates that are covered each other progressively according to their near edges, one or several layers of insulation, suitable to prevent infiltration of water and also to improve thermal insulation with respect to Exterior.

These layers of insulator usually extend all over the roof surface and must stand in solidarity with the corrugated sheets to particularly allow them not to slip on these and resist the starting forces due to the wind.

Also, on top of the roof, in the place where two of the roof skirts are joined, it is equally necessary mount on the end of the wavy plates, an element of Coating or blanket plate that must be solidly fixed at corrugated sheets

Now the difficulty consists precisely in solidarity the cover or the iron blanket of the plates wavy, the latter being, particularly when made with cement fibers, whether it is an existing roof or a new construction, delicate to drill for the passage of pins or other fixing means, which cooperate with locking nuts or similar, allowing immobilize the cover with respect to irons

French patent FR 590.921 describes a roof of this class formed by corrugated sheets, in particular of asbestos-cement, including a device clamping, particularly for blanket plate, and provides in a way of realization, the realization of pieces in the form of tweezers, astride the edge of a corrugated iron that it is placed in the place of the area where the iron should be placed blanket, serving these anchor pieces for a bolt that extends perpendicularly to the corrugated iron and serving also to immobilize the blanket plate in relation to is.

A fixing device of this type can obviously applied without any modification of the means made, when it comes to applying and fixing on the roof formed by corrugated sheets, an insulating coating, applied against the surface of this roof, using exactly of the same way the pieces in the form of tweezers mounted on the edges of corrugated plates and fixing pins supported by these pieces.

French patent application FR-A-2,524,524 also describes a device for mounting and immobilization of a insulating or other covering on a roof formed by plates corrugated, which again uses pieces or staples placed at astride the edges of the plates, as it is already known by French patent FR 590.921, the described invention is limited to a particular form of these pieces that include two jaws of tighten that cooperate with a bolt of which the head is integral with one of the jaws and comprising a cooperating threaded rod with a first nut to immobilize the other jaw with respect to the first tightening the edge of the corrugated iron, going through this threaded rod then the insulating coating that apply on the wavy plates thanks to a second nut coupled with the overpassing end of the threaded rod.

Note that this solution only applies to a roof structure in the form of a "sandwich", in which the Insulating lining is arranged and maintained between two plates undulated, locked in relation to each other by means of threaded rod It can also be observed that it needs that the panels that constitute the insulating layer are perfectly positioned before being pierced by the stem threaded, because the correction of the positioning of the panels a once pierced by the stem is no longer possible.

German patent DE-A-198 10 722 also describes a similar solution for fixing and clamping of an insulating and / or protective cover, or support of various devices on top of a constituted roof by the juxtaposition of corrugated plates, in which the edge or lateral side of at least one plate is held between the two jaws of a clamp in order to prevent perforation of the plate, being provided means of connection between this clamp and the cover.

Also another solution, with edge clamping of the plates, is considered in the Swiss patent CH-A-514.760.

The present invention relates to a new mounting solution of a support piece on the edge of an iron corrugated from a roof of the aforementioned type, which presents with respect to known solutions recalled above particularly appreciable advantages, avoiding again the perforation of this plate for the immobilization of the piece of support.

A roof or roof according to the invention prevents particular any clamping jaw system on the edges of the corrugated plates, allowing, not only to ensure in place of each support piece a specific anchor for the fixing of the insulation or protection cover to be applied and immobilize on the upper part of the roof formed by these plates, but also assemble between pieces of this type, located at both sides of the same corrugated iron, suitable means for support cover fasteners, distributed to will on these means, so that the realization of a "sandwich" structure where this cover is immobilized between two corrugated plates, is no longer necessary.

Another advantage of the invention is that the proposed device allows to perfectly position the panels that constitute the insulating layer, before the immobilization of this last by retained fixing means.

Also another advantage of the invention is that allows you to hold or fix any type of device that should be mounted and fixed on a roof or cover.

In this regard, according to the invention, the roof or roof formed (a) by the juxtaposition of corrugated sheets, particularly of cement fibers or of a similar material, a cover or an apparatus being fixed (or) on the upper part of the roof or of the cover, without perforation of the indicated plates is characterized in that the cover or the apparatus is fixed by means of a plurality of support plates arranged on the lateral edge of at least one corrugated iron and provided joining means between each stage and the cover or the apparatus, each support plate being arranged on the side edge of a corrugated iron between at least two successive wave tops thereof, each support plate comprising at least two parallel grooves of engagement as a comb on the edge of the plate at the place of the tops of the
waves.

The invention therefore consists in providing and to mount on the undulating plates of a roof of a roof or an analogous construction element, in particular over the edges at the lateral ends of these plates, support plates that fit over these edges as a Comb, making the slots of the same stage coupled with two successive waves of the same plate, a perfect immobilization of this stage, on which can then be provided means for fixing the cover or appliances, applied on or under the roof or deck.

Depending on the case, each stage is made of metal or plastic material

In a particular embodiment of the invention each support plate is formed by a insert general rectangular shape, which comprises according to its greater length a central part that extends between at least the two waves successive of at least one corrugated iron, and two end parts, separated from the central part by the slotting grooves, these grooves being, which extend parallel to the width smaller than the insert, limited, so that the edge edge of the corrugated iron, which penetrates these grooves, stops on the bottom of these, when the stage is placed on the plate.

Preferably, the plate insert It comprises four grooves, two to two parallel, and forming two pairs of slots arranged respectively near each side end of the insert, fitting each pair of grooves on top of a wave of the wavy iron.

According to another advantageous feature, the Insert ends are curved in order to adopt by below the shape of the top of the wave of the wavy iron on which fits, in order to stabilize the stage and distribute So the forces it supports.

According to another advantageous feature, the stage comprises on its surface at least one and preferably a plurality of perforations, particularly in the central part of the insert for mounting extended pins perpendicularly with respect to the stage, for fixing the roof deck.

Advantageously, each corrugated roof plate comprises at its opposite and parallel edges two plates a facing each other, on which a rail is mounted that extends transversely between the two plates in the cavity that separates the two waves on which these plates are fixed, cooperating the rail with a set of pins suitable for allow the cover to be fixed according to a design that includes so many points spread over the length of this lane.

In a variant embodiment, the stage it has a continuous surface suitable for receiving a material of gluing for the cover applied on the corrugated sheets from the roof.

The support plates do not prejudge in any way the structure of the roof, which can be particularly constituted by a layer of an insulating material, in particular formed by juxtaposed panels, in a thermally insulating material of the polyurethane foam type or blocks of expanded polystyrene. Preferably, such a layer is generally coated therewith with a sealing coating, based on asphalt, cast in situ or added in the form of unwound tapes and glued on the insulating layer.

In variant, the roof fixed on the roof through the support plates it can be constituted by a metallic element, particularly to form the blanket area of the roof, or also a rigid frame intended to receive a trellis or a passageway, or any other device or accessory promptly fixed to the elements of corrugated sheets. Further, the device does not prejudge the orientation of the plates corrugated, which can be placed vertically, forming the cover applied against these plates with the help of this device in this case a wallcovering.

Other features of a device for support of an insulating and protective cover, particularly for roof or similar, formed by the juxtaposition of plates corrugated, established according to the invention, will also appear through the following description of several examples of realization, given by way of indication and not limitation, making reference to the attached drawings in which:

- Figure 1 is a side elevation view of a corrugated roof plate, on which a stage is mounted of support according to a first embodiment of the invention.

- Figure 2 is a partial view above the plate of figure 1, which illustrates in more detail the assembly of The support stage.

- Figure 3 represents the plate and plate of figures 1 and 2, associated with an insulating cover and of protection fixed on this stage, by means of a rail or similar junction, placed in the wave cavity.

- Figure 4 is a view analogous to the figure 3, but related to a variant embodiment of the means of cover fixing, without connecting rail.

- Figures 5 and 6 illustrate two other ways of realization of a stage.

- Figure 7 represents a view above the support stage used in the variant of Figure 6.

- Figure 8 is a view illustrating the adaptation of the device in the fixing of a cover of insulation formed by adjacent blocks.

- Figures 9 and 10 refer to variants of insulation cover assembly.

- Figures 11 and 12 illustrate another variant of The stage.

In these various figures figures have been taken up identical references to designate similar organs from one to other.

In the example depicted in Figure 1, the reference 1 designates a classic corrugated iron, made in cement fibers or a polyester resin, including any other similar material, intended to constitute with other plates adjacent (not shown), the roof of a construction anyone.

Due to its own nature, it is not desirable that an iron of this type be drilled in one or several places. On the contrary, to constitute an adequate separation between the interior and exterior of the construction, it is usually it is necessary that the corrugated roof be provided with a cover that is applied on its upper outer surface, this cover being constituted by one or several layers of one of various materials that have insulating and susceptible properties of forming a watertight coating, in particular to avoid water infiltration through the roof, particularly in the areas where the various wavy plates are nearby, eventually covering each other by their edges adjacent.

In addition, it is necessary that it be covered with insulation and / or protection is firmly connected to the roof of corrugated plates, in order to prevent it from separating of it, due in particular to boot effects due to wind.

The present invention therefore has object a support stage capable of being associated with a roof or roof of the type in question, allowing to ensure the hitching and rigid and secure fixing of a cover or devices diverse, avoiding all perforation of the wavy plates.

To this end and as illustrated by the example depicted in figures 1 and 2, the device of fixing consists of a stage 2 which, in this mode of realization is presented in the form of a insert 3 in general rectangular, suitable to fit laterally on the edge 4 of the minus a corrugated iron 1, immobilizing closely with relationship to it.

Stage 2, made of stamped metal or where appropriate, molded rigid plastic, of the type of reinforced or not reinforced polyester resin, comprises in this example four slots, respectively 5 and 6 on the one hand, 7 and 8 on the other hand, extending these grooves parallel to the smaller sides of the rectangular insert, from one of its longitudinal sides of longer length 9, without reaching the opposite side 10.

Each pair of slots 5, 6 on one side, 7, 8 on one other part, thus delimit two tabs, respectively 11 in the place of the first pair, 12 in the place of the second, being these tabs arranged in order to slide under the iron corrugated 1, substantially at the level of the next tops 13 and 14 of two successive undulations of this iron, thus fitting the stage 2 laterally on the edge 4 of the plate until it stops against the closed end of the four slots.

In the example shown, the side sides end of insert 3, beyond the slots respectively 5 and 6, form two extensions 15 and 16, which return above wavy iron 1, beyond tabs 11 and 12.

Stage 2 being so placed, comprises in its central part 17, a plurality of holes 18, which allow mounting appropriate fixing means for the cover applied on the wavy roof plates, not being cover represented in figures 1 and 2, but represented in Figures 3 and 4 particularly.

Thus, in these figures, the cover arranged on the wavy plates 1 is designated as a whole by the reference 19, being here this cover constituted by a first layer 20 of a thermal insulating material, for example formed by a plastic material of the polyester type or polyurethane, also covered by a waterproof coating 21, which prevents any infiltration of water in the direction of the roof.

In figure 3, cover 19 stands in solidarity with the roof with the help of stage 2, preferably by another part by means of two plates of this type mounted in front of the ends of the corrugated iron 1 considered, in the place of same tops 13 and 14 of two successive undulations of this last.

This arrangement makes it possible to associate to the two plates 2 thus mounted on each side with an iron, a common lane 22 extending transversely above the plate in cavity 23 formed between the two tops 13 and 14.

In this same figure 3, it is appreciated that each of the two plates 2 can thus be in solidarity with lane 22 that extends between them, by means of a pin 24 which extends perpendicularly in relation to the central part 17 of the stage and through the insulating layer 20 of the cover 19.

The pin 24 can be made in the form of a rod comprising a threaded end 25, which cooperates with one of the holes 18 provided in the central part 17 of the stage and terrified in this regard, comprising the other end of the shank a head 26 that applies layer 20 against the roof in Threading function of the pin.

In variant (not shown), the end 25 threaded rod can cooperate with a nut that allows in the same way the threading of this rod and the immobilization of the cover 19.

Lane 22 may present any form adapted, from the moment it extends longitudinally in the cavity 23 between the two plates, this lane being able to associate with so many pins 24 for fixing the cover 19, distributed according to its length, being able to immobilize the cover 19 as well, making a convenient choice for the placement of plates and rails that are supportive, allow a design that best suits for a placement and a Perfect fastening of this cover.

The sealing liner 21 can then be placed on the insulating layer 20. If necessary, when the layer and its coating are previously made and fixed to each other, pins 24 can pass through this lining, resting the head 26 of the pins on the top of the latter.

In the example shown, lane 22 is presents in the form of a closed drawer, which allows to keep protected from eventual water infiltration the nut of threaded fastening if it occurs at the threaded end 25 of the pins 24.

In the variant illustrated in Figure 4, the support plate 2, fitted exactly the same as the already described on a side edge 4 of the plate 1, it is in solidarity with the cover 19 by means of a glue joint 27, located between the upper surface of the stage and the lower surface of the layer 20, this gluing may in some cases be strictly equivalent to mechanical fixation by pins or the like considered in the preceding variant.

In figure 5, the shape of stage 2 is slightly different, the central part 17 of this being slightly lowered to be placed substantially in cavity 23 between the tops 13 and 14 of two successive undulations of the plate one.

In this case, the union of the central part 3 with tabs 11 and 12, in place of slots 6 and 7, is performed through extensions 28 and 29, which adapt to the part rounded external ripples in the areas of these facing each other, allowing better support from stage 2 on the corrugated iron 1.

In the variant represented in figures 6 and 7, stage 2a is intended to extend transversely on a more important number of successive undulations of the plate 1, comprising this stage as in the previous example pairs of slots 5 and 6, 7 and 8 that, two to two, fit into these undulations according to the longitudinal dimension of the stage.

In each central part 17 of the latter, separated by tabs 11 and 12, the stage comprises fixing holes 18, as in the variant of Figure 2.

Figure 8 shows another way of fixing the cover 19 when, particularly, the thermal insulation layer 20 consists of glued blocks, such as 20a and 20b, which comprise respectively on their adjacent sides, respectively a protrusion 30 that is placed on a wrap 31, in order to conveniently juxtapose over the top of the roof formed with corrugated plates 1.

In this case, the fixing of the insulating layer 20 with the help of a pin 24 it can be advantageously realized using a connection piece in L 32, of which an arm 33, vertical, it is housed between the two blocks 20a and 20b, applying the another arm 34 against the central part 17 of the insert 3 which constitutes the support stage 2.

The connecting piece 32 can particularly sympathize with his arm 34 with stage 2 by means of a Rivet 35 or similar.

Figures 9 and 10 also illustrate other variants for the fixing pin 24, showing figure 10 the use of a nut 36 and an iron 37 mounted under the head 26 of the pin to realize the force of application exerted on the cover against the wavy roof plates.

Figures 11 and 12 illustrate a mode of embodiment where support plate 2 is more especially adapted to recover boot forces very particularly by the wind. These forces, transmitted from stage 2 to the corrugated iron 1, spread over the entire surface of the tabs 40, 41 of stage 2 in contact with the plate corrugated 1. In reverse, the forces due to weight, transmitted from stage 2 to corrugated iron 1, it concentrated on a smaller surface, close to slots 38, 39.

Figures 11 and 12 finally illustrate a mode where the support stage 2 is more particularly adapted to be mounted in an edge area where two corrugated plates, respectively 1a and 1b, are covered mutually, particularly by their adjacent edges according to the roof extension.

In this case, stage 2 can comprise alone, in the proximity of the side edges of the insert 3, two slots 38 and 39, delimiting with the central part of the stage curved end tabs 40 and 41 that are placed under a or another of the two plates 1a and 1b, in the place of the tops of two successive waves where these plates mount each other.

It should be noted that a simplified form of this type of stage 2, without extensions 15 and 16 beyond tabs 40 and 41, can be applied to the current part of the roof and not only in an area where two successive plates are mounted, the platen being easier to fit on the side edge than the receives.

Thus a support device and of securing a protective or insulation cover, added and fixed on a set of corrugated plates, which is of a large simplicity, providing a particular effectiveness for the function required, the plates fitted on the edges of the plates with the edge of the latter that fits in some grooves properly planned in these plates, which allow to ensure a secure immobilization of the roof, fixed to these plates or to joining rails supported by the latter taken two to two on each side of an iron.

The set is easy to place or remove, and above all it does not require any drilling to be done on the plates proper, which also has the advantage of doing very comfortable adapting the device of the invention on rooftops already existing, distributing without limitation the fixing points necessary according to the extension of the surface to cover.

The nature of the cover added and fixed on the wavy plates can be any, being able to particular be carried out in the form of a support framework on the which is then placed a trellis or a passage structure or of appropriate work, or also be formed by an apparatus or a any accessory.

As already stated, the device fixing is not limited in its application to a roof itself said, but it can adapt in the same way to a surface wall, vertical or not, constituting the cover added in This case a protective cover. So, this device can allow clamping, particularly in a substantially flat vertical, or more generally also fixing, of all kinds of apparatus that can be added to a roof or a roof, such such as an antenna, a ventilation fan, a roof hanging, a shelf ...
