Description

Dispositif d'accrochage des tuiles sur les liteaux de toiture.
Les tuiles généralement posées de bas en haut sur une toiture, sont accrochées sur les liteaux par un talon ménagé à leur partie haute. Ce dispositif d'accrochage n'est pas parfait, car il arrive, que sous l'action du vent, les tuiles se décrochent et s'envolent au risque de blesser des passants ; de plus ce dispositif n'est pas valable pour des tuiles en matière plastique qui, beaucoup plus légères, risqueraient de s'envoler plus facilement.
La présente invention remédie à ces inconvénients. A cet effet, elle concerne un dispositif d'accrochage des tuiles sur les liteaux de toiture, constitué par une tige en forme de U à branches inégales, la grande branche ayant la possibilité de s'engager dans un orifice prévu sur la tuile, et cela avant sa pose, et la petite branche servant à retenir' la tuile munie de ce dispositif sur le liteau, des moyens étant prévus pour empêcher toute désolidarisation du dispositif et de la tuile lorsqu'ils sont assemblés.
Suivant une forme d'exécution de l'invention, la tige en forme de U est en acier, et l'extrémité épaulée de sa grande branche porte un filetage qui, lorsqu'il a traversé l'orifice correspondant de la tuile, reçoit un écrou.
Suivant une autre forme d'exécution de l'invention, la tige en forme de U est en matière plastique et l'extrémité épaulée de sa grande tige porte un cône orienté vers le haut, et une rainure entre le cône et l'épaulement, de façon qu'après passage de ce cône dans l'orifice de la tuile, également en matière plastique, l'épaisseur de cette tuile soit coincée entre la grande base du cône et l'épaulement.
Chaque tuile destinée à recevoir ce dispositif est munie à son extrémité supérieure d'une bande traversée par au moins deux orifices, ou d'au moins deux pattes traversées chacune par un orifice.
Grâce à ce dispositif les tuiles sont accrochées de façon positive sur les liteaux, ces derniers étant placés entre les deux branches de la tige en U.
Suivant une variante d'exécution, les tuiles sont munies de rainures en L, débouchant sur l'extérieur de la bande qui les porte.
De toute façon, l'invention sera bien comprise à l'aide de la description qui suit, en référence au dessin schématique annexé représentant, à titre d'exemple non limitatif, une forme d'exécution de ce dispositif d'accrochage des tuiles : Fig. 1 est une coupe transversale d'une tuile fixée suivant une forme d'exécution de ce dispositif ; Fig. 2 est une coupe transversale d'une tuile pendant son montage, suivant une autre forme d'exécution de ce dispositif; Fig. 3 est une coupe transversale d'une tuile équipée de ce dernier dispositif, et mise en place sur un liteau ; Fig. 4 et 5 sont des vues en plan par-dessus de deux variantes d'exécution de tuiles, équipées d'orifices pour la fixation de ce dispositif d'accrochage;Fig. 6 est une vue en plan par-dessus d'une variante d'exécution de cette tuile, variante équipée de rainures en L pour la fixation du dispositif d'accrochage.
La fig. 1 représente une forme d'exécution de ce système d'accrochage monté sur des tuiles en céramiques 1. Le dispositif est constitué par une tige en forme de U à branches inégales comportant une petite branche 2, reliée à une grande branche 3 par une branche 4. La grande branche 3 porte près de son extrémité un épaulement 5 suivi d'un filetage 6.
Lors de son montage sur la tuile 1, le filetage 6 traverse l'orifice 7 prévu sur cette tuile, d'une quantité limitée par l'épaulement 5 qui s'appuie sur la face inférieure de la tuile 1. La partie extérieure du filetage 6 reçoit un écrou 8 qui retient la tige sur la tuile 1.Device for attaching the tiles to the roof battens.
The tiles, generally laid from the bottom up on a roof, are hung on the battens by a heel arranged at their upper part. This attachment device is not perfect, because it happens that under the action of the wind, the tiles come loose and fly away at the risk of injuring passers-by; moreover, this device is not valid for plastic tiles which, being much lighter, would risk flying off more easily.
The present invention overcomes these drawbacks. To this end, it relates to a device for attaching the tiles to the roof battens, consisting of a U-shaped rod with unequal branches, the large branch having the possibility of engaging in an orifice provided on the tile, and this before its installation, and the small branch serving to retain 'the tile provided with this device on the batten, means being provided to prevent any separation of the device and the tile when they are assembled.
According to one embodiment of the invention, the U-shaped rod is made of steel, and the shouldered end of its large branch carries a thread which, when it has passed through the corresponding hole in the tile, receives a nut.
According to another embodiment of the invention, the U-shaped rod is made of plastic and the shouldered end of its large rod carries an upwardly oriented cone, and a groove between the cone and the shoulder, so that after passing this cone through the orifice of the tile, also made of plastic, the thickness of this tile is wedged between the large base of the cone and the shoulder.
Each tile intended to receive this device is provided at its upper end with a strip crossed by at least two orifices, or at least two tabs each crossed by an orifice.
Thanks to this device, the tiles are hung positively on the battens, the latter being placed between the two branches of the U-shaped rod.
According to an alternative embodiment, the tiles are provided with L-shaped grooves, opening onto the outside of the strip which carries them.
In any event, the invention will be clearly understood with the aid of the following description, with reference to the appended schematic drawing showing, by way of non-limiting example, an embodiment of this device for attaching the tiles: Fig. 1 is a cross section of a tile fixed according to one embodiment of this device; Fig. 2 is a cross section of a tile during its assembly, according to another embodiment of this device; Fig. 3 is a cross section of a tile fitted with the latter device, and placed on a batten; Fig. 4 and 5 are top plan views of two variant embodiments of tiles, equipped with holes for fixing this fastening device; FIG. 6 is a top plan view of an alternative embodiment of this tile, a variant equipped with L-shaped grooves for fixing the hooking device.
Fig. 1 shows an embodiment of this hooking system mounted on ceramic tiles 1. The device consists of a U-shaped rod with unequal branches comprising a small branch 2, connected to a large branch 3 by a branch 4. The large branch 3 has near its end a shoulder 5 followed by a thread 6.
During its assembly on the tile 1, the thread 6 passes through the orifice 7 provided on this tile, by an amount limited by the shoulder 5 which rests on the underside of the tile 1. The outer part of the thread 6 receives a nut 8 which retains the rod on the tile 1.

Claims

The assembly thus produced is hidden by the foot of the upper tile 1a. According to another embodiment, the bent rod is made of plastic and also comprises the branches 2, 3 and 4, but the upper end of the large branch 3 is provided with a shoulder 5 followed by a cone 9 of which the large base is at a distance from the upper face of the shoulder 5. Before laying the tile, the cone 9 is fitted into the orifice 10 provided on the tile 11, as shown in FIG. 2; as soon as it leaves this orifice it resumes, by elasticity, its first shape and immobilizes the tile 11 between its base and the shoulder 5. The tiles thus provided with this attachment device are placed on the roof, and hung. on the battens as shown in fig. 3. Figs. 4 and 5 show two variant embodiments of the tiles intended to receive this hooking device, variants in which the orifices are either distributed over a strip 12 provided at the upper part of the tile, FIG. 4, or placed on two independent legs 13, fig. 5. This simple device makes it easy to hang the tiles, preventing them from being lifted by the action of the wind. Fig. 6 shows another variant embodiment of these tiles, a variant in which the strip 12 of the tile is crossed by two L-shaped grooves 14 opening onto the end of the strip in which the bent rods can be slid. As goes without saying, and as emerges from the foregoing, the present invention is not limited solely to the embodiments of this device which have been described above by way of examples; on the contrary, it embraces all variant embodiments.
