Abstract
A temporary protective cover comprises a lightweight tarpaulin sheet 3 which features a series of holes 4 at spaced along each longitudinal side. A series of cords 5 with elastic properties are secured within the holes 4. At a free end of each cord 5 is a metal clip (6, Fig 2). In use, the protective cover is draped over the roof ridge, to provide an equal sheet area on both sides of the roof, whereupon the clips can be secured temporarily beneath the outer edges of the tiles or slates. The metal clips may feature two hook-like projections, as shown in Fig 3.
Description
Temporary Protection Cover for Roof Ridge Tiles
Field of Invention.
The invention relates to temporary protection for Ridge tiles on both new building programmes, and that of replacement ridge tiles, used in Roof repair work.
The temporary protection is against wet and inclement weather, until such time that the said tiles have bonded in their located positions on the Ridge of the Roof structure.
By present conventional methods, one common practice is used, whereby for example Plastic sheeting is draped over the setting Ridge tiles, and retained in position in various modes, dependant on the assembly stage of the roof tiling procedure.
The aforesaid method and that of other practices give rise to problems, for example the sheeting having no positive retention in particular during wet and windy weather conditions, can easily break loose and allow exposure to the Ridge tiles.
The invention seeks to improve upon present conventional methods, and described as follows:-A lightweight' Tarpaulin' sheet of a specified size and material specification, is the component member. A series of Non-Ferrous Eye-lets' are positioned at specified dimensions equally spaced and made captive at both the outer longitudinal sides (for this description only, the sheet size is 0.6 meters wide x 3.5 meters in length). Attached to the said Eye-lets, are Cords having elasticity properties and are readily commercially available in various sizes and strength.
Attached to the outer ends of the said Cords, are pre-formed sheet metal clips, shaped in a Hook like manner, where the hook aperture is compatible with the thickness of the roof Tiles/slates of the Roof structure.
Assembly of the aforesaid Tarpaulin sheet component to the ridge of the Roof structure is Quick and easily executed, by draping the tarpaulin over the ridge tiles, having approximately an equal amount of sheet area on both sides of the roof proper.
Finally, the sheet metal clips are firmly attached under tensional resistance by the said Cords, and retained captive beneath the tiles/slates.
Once all the clips are in position on both sides of the Roof area, additional Tarpaulin sheets can be positioned, each over-lapping the other until the entire requisite number of ridge tiles are temporally protected.
By way of the following description and accompanying drawings the invention will now be described in further detail.
Fig. I Isometric plan view.
Fig. 2 Plan and elevation.
Fig. 3 Side Elevation and plan view.
Item 3 fig.! is a sheet of lightweight Tarpaulin, having a series of holes items 4, at predetermined spacing along both longitudinal lengths. Non-ferrous commercial type Eye-lets are secured and made captive within the said holes 4.
Cords having elasticity properties items 5 fig. I are secured by fastening means to the Eye-lets. A pre-formed sheet metal clip items 6 fig. 2 are attached by fastening means to the outer ends of the cords 5 using the hole item 7. The clip item 6 having a hook like projection 8 at the outer end, with an internal dimension represented by the letter D', that will be compatible with the thickness of a roof tile/slate. So that the clip will be a tight-fit on the outer edge of the tile/slate.
A further embodiment of the invention will be of that shown in Fig. 3.
Item 9 Fig. 3, is an alternative type of clip to that of item 6 fig 2, whereby Two hook like projections items 10, are present at the outer end, having internal dimensions represented by the letters E' and F', (for this description only E'=32 millimetres and F'=13 millimetres).
The opposite end of the clip item 9 will have a thro' hole 11.
Although, the clip item 9 Fig.3 is shown manufactured from two separate pieces of sheet metal, if the said clips where manufactured in Volume production then it would be desirable to manufacture the clip item 9 Fig.3 from a singular strip of sheet metal.
Finally, the cords items 5, are known technically as Shockcords', these particular cords are of an improved quality, with a greater strength than the more commonly used elastic type cords, used for holding and retaining in position, various items. For example only that of baggage and small lightweight items, normally positioned at the rear of motor cycles accommodated on a small framework over the rear wheel mudguard. The cords for this description only are retained within the eyelets fitted within the Tarpaulin by tying a tight Knot at the end of the cord, which will prevent the cord from slipping from its position within the eyelet.
Exactly the same method can be adopted at the opposite end, where the cord attaches to the clips item 6, or alternatively the clips item 9. In either case it will be advantageous to provide a Grommet or that of a plastic Bush within the holes item 7 fig. 2, or alternatively the holes 11 Fig. 3, this will prevent cutting of the cord when in use.
Claims (3)
- CLAiMS I. A temporary protection cover, having in the first part a lightweight tarpaulin sheet, having a plurality of holes at predetermined spacing along both longitudinal lengths into which are made captive a coffesponding quantity of eyelets, in the second part cords having elasticity properties, are secured at one of their outer ends within the said eyelets, with the opposite outer ends secured to metal clips having fitted eyelets at their outer ends.
- 2. A temporary protection cover as claimed in claim 1, where by the metal clips have two hook like projections at the opposite end to that of the said eyelets, which will allow the said clips to fit temporarily beneath tiles or slates.
- 3. A temporary protection cover as claimed in claim 1 and 2 and as herein before substantially described with reference to the accompanying drawings. * *. 1 S * ** 0.S* * S *0.S ** S * ** * S.S**.**e * S *)S * * ,S*SSS..S
