Abstract
An adjustable sleeve device especially, but not exclusively, for use as a weatherproof outlet sleeve on a building comprises a tubular sleeve portion (10), a flexible sleeve portion (11) extending from one end of the tubular portion (10) and an annular base plate (12) connected to the flexible portion (11). The base plate (12) is flexibly adjustable relative to the tubular portion (10) so that the angular disposition of the base plate (12) relative to the tubular portion (10) can be varied. The sleeve device may be mounted, for example, on a sloping roof with the base plate (12) engaging the roof and with a T.V. aerial or overflow pipe 13 extending through the sleeve. For such uses, the tubular sleeve portion and the base plate have annular internal recesses (17) containing solder (18) to provide a capillary solder joint with the tubular member (13) and the roof respectively. <IMAGE>
Description
AN ADJUSTABLE SLEEVE DEVICE.
This invention relates to an adjustable sleeve device, especially but not exclusively for use as a weatherproof outlet sleeve on a building.
According to the present invention there is provided an adjustable sleeve device comprising a tubular sleeve portion, a flexible sleeve portion extending from one end of the tubular sleeve portion and an annular base plate connected to the flexible sleeve portion and -flexibly adjustable relative to the tubular portion whereby the angular disposition of the base plate relative to the longitudinal axis of the tubular portion can be varied.
The sleeve device may be mounted for example on a sloping roof with the base plate engaging the roof and the tubular portion vertical and with a T.V. aerial or overflow pipe extending through the sleeve. For such uses, the tubular sleeve portion preferably has an annular internal recess containing solder to provide a capillary solder joint with the tubular member which extends therethrough.
Preferably also, the annular base plate has an annular supply of solder to provide a capillary solder joint with the surface against which the base plate is placed.
An embodiment of the present invention will now be described by way of example, with reference to the accompanying drawings, in which:
Fig. 1 is an elevation of an adjustable sleeve device according to the invention.
Fig. 2 is a side elevation of the sleeve device mounted on a sloping roof;
Fig. 3 is a front elevation of the sleeve device shown in Fig. 2, and Wig. 4 -is a sectional elevation of Fig. 1.
Referring to the drawings there is provided an adjustable sleeve device for use as a weatherproof outlet sleeve for a building. The adjustable sleeve device comprises a tubuLar sleeve portion 10, a flexible sleeve portion 11 of concertina shape attached to one end of the tubular portion 10 and an annular base plate 12 attached to the flexible portion 11. A tubular member 13, such as a T.V. Aerial post or the vertical run of a U-bend overflow pipe, can pass through the sleeve device. The base plate 12 can be angularly disposed relative to the longitudinal axis of the tubular portion 10 between 900 and in practice about 300 so that the sleeve device can be mounted on a flat or sloping roof as
illustrated in Figs. 1 and 2 respectively wherein only a
lead sheet 15 for the roof, is shown.
The sleeve device is preferably made of copper or other suitable metal, but may be of a plastics material.
If the device is made of copper or other suitable metal, tubular sleeve portion 10 has an annular bulge-17 containing solder 18 so that a capillary solder joint can be formed between the tubular portion 10 and the tubular member 13 to prevent ingress of water.
Similarly, the base plate 12 has an annular supply of solder 18 so that a'ca#ilary solder joint can be formed between the plate 12 and the lead sheet 15. Thus the sleeve device can be made waterproof by the solder joints, or by any other suitable means.
The sleeve device can be installed on an existing roof by removing a few slates, securing the base plate about an opening in the roof through which the tubular member 13 is to project and replacing the slates.
The sleeve device can be installed on new buildings and the tubular portion 10 capped pending use.
The sleeve device can be located at places other than the roof, e.g. on a wall to provide a weatherproof sleeve for a horizontal or overflow pipe.
The sleeve device may be of various sizes for different uses. For example, the device may have a narrow tubular portion for the passage of the co-axial cable to be attached to a T.V. aerial, thus enabling the cable to be taken into a building as close to the #e'r-ialas possible. In such a case, anEannular seal is provided, if necessary between the cable and the tubular portion.
The sleeve device is preferably for outdoor use, to provide a weatherproof fitting, but may be used indoors where it is necessary or desirable to have the base plate and sleeve portion of a fitting angularly adjustable.
The sleeve device when made of copper, replaces the known solder-wiped joint on lead to copper expansion pieces used on roofs of buildings in domestic hot water systems.
Advantages are that: 1. There is no need to solder-wipe.
2. One device is suitable for all roof pitches.
The sleeve device can also be used in the following situations: 1. Where storage or header tank okterftows come through slated or tiled pitched roofs.
2. Dutch barn type roofs and vertically tiled or slated sides of buildings.
3. Where WC overflows and drain valves come through roof.
4. To feed through cable from attic for roof TV aerials or electric cable for roof lighting.
Claims (4)
1. An adjustable sleeve device comprising a tubular sleeve portion, a flexible sleeve portion extending from one end of the tubular sleeve portion and an annular base plate connected to the flexible sleeve portion and flexibly adjustable relative to the tubular portion whereby the annular disposition of the base plate relative to the longitudinal axis of the tubular portion can be varied.
2. A sleeve as claimed in claim 1, in which the tubular sleeve portion has an annular internal recess containing solder to provide a capillary solder joint with a tubular member which, in use extends therethrough.
3. A sleeve as claimed in claim 1 or 2, in which the annular base plate has an annular supply of solder to provide a capillary solder joint with the surface against which the base plate is placed.
4. An adjustable sleeve device as hereinbefore described with reference to the accompanying drawings.
