FR2673435A1 - Mutually locking tiles - Google Patents

Abstract

Interlocking-tile device enabling mutual locking and unlocking for disassembly. The invention relates to a device for mutually locked tiles in order to prevent them from flying off during storms. These moulded clay tiles may be changed amongst themselves or by means of accessories. The tile consists of a rectangular body (1), a channel (gutter) (2), a nose (3), an overhanging part (4) which will cover a projection part (5) of the adjacent tile to its left, and a recess (7) which will receive, in its housing, the overhanging part (4) of the adjacent tile located to its right, during its disengagement. These interlocking tiles are particularly intended for regions liable to strong gusts of wind.

Description

The present invention relates to a device on mechanical tiles allowing, when they are placed on the roof, a blocking between them as well as their blocking and disassembly if this is desired for the cases of replacement by laying of accessories.
Seasonal storms cause many homes, damage and accidents on many homes and their immediate material and individual perimeter each year, because the existing tiles on the ground in the current ououXags do not stand together.

 When the storm hits in successive gusts of wind, a first gust of wind lifts the tiles which are free and delivered to a second gust of wind, rushing in beneath them, separating them from each other by tearing them from their seat on the cleat. These then slide on the slope of the roof and fall.

To make up for this shortcoming, tiles according to the invention have been produced, the structure of which allows them to be blocked. The present invention will be better understood from the descriptions below with reference to the accompanying drawings which show in perspective the tile invented
With reference to the attached drawing according to FIG. 1, the tile B according to the invention consists of a rectangular body (1) of a gutter (2) in the left lateral part of the tile, of a nose (3) in its lower part, with a projecting projecting part (4) rectangular in front of the nose (3) and projecting from the left angle of the nose (3) being at the upper level of the body of the tile (1) and a approximately half the thickness of the body of the tile (1). With reference to the appended drawing, FIG. 1, the tile according to the invention also consists of a square projecting part (5) projecting from the front of the nose (3) and located in the right angle of the nose (3) of the tile whose right edge of the square happens to be in alignment with the right side of the tile (6) o This projecting part (s) of half a thickness of the body (1) of the tile is located at the lower level of the body (1) of the tile0 In addition, this projecting part (5) is an extension of a square notch (7) hollowed out in the right angle of the nose (3) of the tile, which will allow the protruding part to slide (4) from the tile to its right C.

 With reference to the attached drawing according to FIG. 2, the release of the tile B is done by pushing it on the nose (3) of the tile B simultaneously, its projecting part (s) is released from the projecting projecting part 64) of tile C and its projecting projecting part (4) is received in the square notch (7) of tile A being to its left.

 With reference to the appended drawing according to FIGS. 3 and 4, we see the situation of the blocking in FIG. 3 and of the clearance in FIG. 4, knowing that in this position, the tile is in the re-engagement situation in order to be blocked again if we pushes tile B and its projecting part (5) under the projecting projecting part (4) of the CO tile

Claims (3)

 i) Device on mechanical clay terracotta tiles allowing blocking and unblocking between them characterized by a projecting protruding part (4) rectangular in front of the nose (3) dXbor- dant the left angle of the nose (3) being at the upper level of the body of the tile (1) and about half a thickness of the body of the tile (i) covering and blocking the projecting part (5) of the left tile which is embedded below it during the pose.  2) Device according to claim 1 characterized by a square projecting part (s) protruding from the front of the nose (3) st located in the right angle of the nose (3) of the tile whose right edge of the square is found to be in alignment of the right side (6) of the tile. This projecting part (5) of about half a thickness of the body (1) of the tile is located at the lower level of the body (1) of the tile so as to come under the projecting part (4) of the tile. right during installation.  3) Device according to claim 1 characterized by a square notch (7), hollowed out in the right angle of the nose (3) of the tile whose depth is equal to half the thickness of the body of the tile (1) and is available to receive the projecting protruding part (4) of the neighboring tile C, during the release operation of the right tile, or re-engagement.
