Abstract
A roof 4 is supported by a framework 2 and comprises panels of corrugated sheet metal 10. The longitudinal edges 10a of the panels extend perpendicularly to the longitudinal direction of the building and are placed one above the other so as define a ventilation opening. The panels may be arranged so that one longitudinal edge of the panel is formed by a peak 12 and the other by a valley 11, the peak of each panel being placed substantially above the valley of the adjacent panel.
Description
Roof for a building for housing animals and a building comprising such a
roof The present invention relates to a roof for a building for housing animals, for example ruminants, and a building for housing animals which is fitted with such a roof. For buildings of this kind the conditions of use are determined by the requirements as to the number and type of animals which are to be housed, their conditions of health and wellbeing and the working conditions of the 15 men in contact with these animals.
The parameters relating to the internal environment of the building, i.e. the humidity level, temperature, air flow, composition of the air and notably the renewal of 20 the air or ventilation, are fixed on the basis of these conditions of use.
To evaluate the quality of the ventilation or level of air renewal, simple indicators are used such as those 25 linked to humidity.
In fact, the air renewal should be sufficient to ensure satisfactory cleansing of the building, i.e. to maintain humidity and gas levels which are compatible with the 30 wellbeing and health of the animals.
This constraint involves achieving air flows which are high enough to provide these functions but sufficiently moderate so as not to cause too abrupt a drop in 35 temperature which could be fatal to the health of the animals. The renewal of air should be carried out in such a way as to maintain the speed of the air within
predetermined limits as it is a factor to which the animals are extremely sensitive.
The maximum speeds are generally fixed so as not to 5 exceed the following values over the living area for the animals: 0.5 m/s and, exceptionally, 1.5 m/s.
10 The aim of the invention is to provide a simple solution for maintaining ventilation and/or air renewal which is well suited to its use in buildings for housing animals.
From a first aspect the present invention provides a 15 roof for a building for housing animals comprising a framework and panels of sheet metal fixed to said framework, wherein the panels are formed by panels of corrugated sheet metal, the longitudinal edges of the panels extending perpendicularly to the longitudinal 20 direction of the building are placed one above the other and define between them a ventilation opening, and the transverse edges of said panels extending in the longitudinal direction of the building overlap and abut on one another.
The invention may also provide one or more of the following preferred features: - one of the longitudinal edges of the panels is formed 30 by a peak of a corrugation of the corrugated sheet metal and the other longitudinal edge is formed by a valley of a corrugation of said corrugated sheet metal, the peak of each panel being placed substantially above the valley in the adjacent panel, 35 - the peak of the corrugation of the longitudinal edge of each panel is attached to the framework by at least one fastener,
- 3 - - the height of said fastener is substantially equal to the height between the peaks and valleys of the corrugated sheet metal of each panel.
5 The invention also relates to a building for housing animals, preferably ruminants, which comprises a roof as mentioned hereinbefore.
A preferred embodiment of the invention will now be 10 described, by way of example only, and with reference to the accompanying drawings in which: - Fig. 1 is a diagrammatic perspective view of a building for housing animals, fitted with a roof 15 according to the invention, - Fig. 2 is a diagrammatic perspective view on a larger scale of part of the roof according to the invention, - Fig. 3 is a diagrammatic sectional view on the line 3-
3 in Fig. 2, 20 - Fig. 4 is a diagrammatic sectional view on the line 4-
4 in Fig. 2.
Figure 1 diagrammatically shows a building for housing animals, which is generally designated 1.
In conventional manner, this building 1 comprises a framework 2 which supports side walls 3 and a roof 4.
The ends of the building are formed by gables 5 which comprise doors 6 such as sliding doors, for example.
The side walls are formed for example by a masonry base 7 and, above this base 7, solid ribbed sheet metal 8 and ribbed sheet metal with vents.
35 As shown on a larger scale in Fig. 2, the roof 4 is formed by panels of corrugated sheet metal generally designated 10.
Conventionally, each panel 10 comprises a succession of valleys 11 and peaks 12 and the panels are disposed on the framework 2 in such a way that the longitudinal edges lea of each panel 10 are oriented perpendicularly 5 to the longitudinal direction F (Fig. 1) of the building 1 and the transverse edges lob of each panel 10 are oriented parallel to the longitudinal direction F of said building 1.
10 As shown in Figs. 1, 3 and 4, the longitudinal edges lOa of the panels 10 are placed one above the other and define between them an opening A for ventilating the interior of the building 1 (Figs. 2 and 3) and the transverse edges lob of these panels 10 overlap, bearing 15 on one another (Figs. 2 and 4).
As shown in more detail in Fig. 3, one of the longitudinal edges lea of the panels 10 is formed by a peak 12 of a corrugation of the corrugated sheet metal 20 and the other longitudinal edge lea is formed by a valley 11 of a corrugation of the corrugated metal, thus defining the opening A over the entire length of the panels 10.
25 The peak 12 of the corrugation of the longitudinal edge lea of each panel is attached to the framework 1 by means of at least one fastener 15 (Fig. 3) and preferably by a plurality of fasteners 15 distributed along the peak 12 of the longitudinal edge lea.
The valleys 11 of the corrugations of the corrugated sheet metal of the panels 10 and the fasteners 15 are fixed to the framework 1 by suitable means and, if the framework 1 is formed by a wooden frame, they are fixed 35 for example by nails or bolts or screws or any other means.
The height of each fastener 15 is substantially equal to the height between the valleys 11 and peaks 12 of the corrugated sheet metal of each panel 10.
5 As shown in more detail in Fig. 4, the transverse edges lob of the panels 10 overlap by a certain amount, bearing on one another.
The transverse edges lob of each panel 10 are fixed to 10 the framework 1, preferably at the peaks 12 of the corrugations of these panels, by suitable means diagrammatically shown in Fig. 4 by the dot-dash lines bearing reference numeral 20. These means consist for example of screws or bolts or nails in the case of a 15 wooden framework.
The roof according to the invention has the advantage of being simple and cheap to build while being well suited to buildings intended for housing animals and providing 20 optimum usage conditions, particularly in terms of the renewal of air.
