Abstract

The present invention relates to a device for maintaining tiles, or the like. Device, characterized in that it is essentially constituted by hooks 1 cooperating, at regular intervals, with tiles 2, or the like, and by means 3 for securing hooks 1 to the framework.

Description

Tile holding device, or the like The present invention

  the field of building, in particular roofing with tiles, or the like, and relates to a

maintaining tiles, or the like.

  - Tiles, or the like, used generally

  for roofing of buildings are

  placed on a lattice fixed on rafters with, if necessary, cooperation of form between neighboring tiles. This embodiment generally makes it possible to obtain a cover that is perfectly waterproof to rain and / or

the snow.

  However, in the case of climatic conditions

  very severe winds, such as very strong winds, such as storms, tiles or

  analogous coverage, such as slate, etc ... are ex-

  put at risk of tearing under the effect of the wind

  and destruction by fall. In addition, such a tear

  tiles, or the like, generally

  other damage due to the storm, namely flooding

  and / or the destruction of rooms under the roof, as well as any injuries to passersby

  and the deterioration of other materials.

  The present invention aims to overcome

these disadvantages.

  Its object is indeed a device for maintaining tiles, or the like, characterized in that

  that it essentially consists of square brackets

  operating, at regular intervals, with tiles, or

  analogous, and by means of subjugation of

chets on the frame.

  The invention will be better understood, thanks to the

  description below, which refers to a way of

  preferred embodiment, given by way of non-limiting example, and explained with reference to the attached schematic drawing,

  whose single figure is a partial view in perspective.

  of a device according to the invention in position

on duty..

  As the attached drawing shows, the

  The invention relates to a tile-retaining wall, or the like, which essentially consists of hooks 1 which cooperate, at regular intervals, on the one hand with tiles 2, or the like, and on the other hand. with means 3 for securing said hooks 1

  to frame 4, in particular to lath 5.

  The hooks 1 advantageously have a generally elongated S shape, the upper curved portion of which cooperates with the edge of the tiles 2 or a longitudinal longitudinal groove thereof, and

  the lower curved portion, preferably in half

  circle, forms a dwelling for a means of subjugation

  their total height advantageously being at most equal to the thickness of the lath 5 increased by

the thickness of the tiles 2.

  The means 3 for securing the hooks i

  in framework 4 are preferably in the form of

  flexible, round, square or other

  in the lower curved part of the hooks 1

  and resting, moreover, on the lattice 5.

  According to an alternative embodiment of the invention, not shown in the accompanying drawings, the

  hooks 1 have a general T shape whose

  free end of the vertical bar is bent to form the housing of the means 3 for securing the hooks 1 to the frame 4. Such an embodiment of the hooks 1 allows their adaptation to the fixation of

flat tiles.

  According to another characteristic of the invention

  the lower curved portion of the hooks 1 advantageously extends obliquely with respect to

  the support portion of said hooks on the tiles 2.

  By placing, when covering a roof, hooks 1, at regular intervals, on tiles of the same row seen in the direction of the slope of the roof 26a660l, and by hooking said hooks to their bent portion lower on a means 3-corresponding subjugation, it is possible to achieve, 'because of the height of the hooks 1, a slight.tension on the latter, this tension resulting from the flexibility of

  3. In addition, this flexibility of the means 3

  also makes it relatively easy to disassemble these

  and, for example, to carry out a

  of a given roof surface.

  Thanks to the invention, it is possible to realize

  secure and effective maintenance of tiles, or the like, on a frame and thus avoid the tearing off of these

  last, especially in case of strong gusts of wind.

  Of course, the invention is not limited to

  embodiment described and shown in the drawing

  nexed. Modifications remain possible, in particular

  point of view of the constitution of the various elements or -

  by substituting technical equivalents, without leaving

  for all that the field of protection of the invention.
