By the way, the roof tiles A 'constructed as described above are arranged side by side as shown in FIG. 5 to improve the mass production efficiency in the manufacturing process. ′, The roof tile A ′ cannot be stably stood. In other words, the roof tile A 'having the above structure can be set up by the presence of the hook pieces 2' and the front pieces 3 '. There is a problem that the tile A 'cannot be stably stood up and easily falls down as imaginary lines. Further, when the roof tile A 'is roofed, the lower end of the front piece 3' only rests on the upper surface of the flat tile body 1 ', so there is a problem that there is no water blocking effect against water intrusion. There is a problem that stability is poor because only the hook pieces 2 'and the front pieces 3' are grounded when the roof is covered. In addition, since the length of the hanging piece 3 'of the roof tile A' is short, there is a problem that a special roof tile A "must be used at the eave side end.

The roof tiles A constructed as described above are formed of ceramic materials or the like, and the roof tiles A are set up side by side in the manufacturing process as shown in FIG. At this time, since the roof tile A of the present invention has the concave curved portion 4 and the length of the front piece 3 is long, it can be stably erected. The base of the roof is a base plate 14 placed on a rafter 16, and a nose plate 17 is provided at the tip of the eaves of the rafter 16.
The roof tile A is laid as shown in FIG. A tile bar 15 is arranged and mounted on the base plate 14. The hook pieces 2 of the roof tile A laid on the base plate 14 are hooked on the tile bar 15, and the protrusions 9 are provided on the upper surface of the tile bar 15. Place. Between the roof tiles A adjacent in the eaves ridge direction, the front piece 3 of the roof tile A located on the ridge side is inserted into the concave portion 4 of the roof tile A located on the eaves side, and the lower end of the front piece 3 is received on the receiving surface 6. Place on top of. Between the roof tiles A adjacent to each other on the left and right, the side edge having the hanging edge 13 of one roof tile A is overlapped on the side projecting piece 10 of the other roof tile A, and the hanging edge 13 is And fitted waterproofly. In FIG. 1, the part shown by the imaginary line shows the construction state of the conventional example. When constructed as described above, the roof tile A becomes the hook 2
A flat mounting surface 5 is grounded in addition to the front piece 3 and the grounding area can be increased to improve stability, and moreover, the grounding area between the roof tile A and the ground board 14 can be expanded to improve stability. Therefore, the hook piece 2 can be simplified and lightened. Further, since the lower end of the front piece 3 is placed on the receiving surface 6 on the bottom surface of the concave curved portion 4 with the concave curved portion 4, water can be stopped to improve water tightness. Further, since the hanging length of the front piece 3 of the roof tile A can be lengthened, the same roof tile A can be installed with good appearance without using a special tile at the eaves end side. 1 in FIG.
8 is Hirokomai for flat tiles, 19 is Hirokomai, 20 is a drainer,
Reference numeral 21 denotes an eave ceiling plate.

In the invention according to claim 2 of the present invention, the upper surface of the bottom of the concavely curved portion of the tile body is a receiving surface for receiving the lower end of the front piece of the roof tile adjacent to the ridge side when roofing. ,
Since the hanging length of the front piece was formed longer, the lower end of the front piece of the roof tile located on the ridge side can be received on the concave curved receiving surface of the roof tile located on the eave side when constructed. Therefore, it is possible to improve the watertightness by further securing the water stop, and because the hanging length of the front piece is increased so that the lower end of the front piece is placed on the receiving surface of the concave curved portion, When standing in the manufacturing process, it can stand more stably,
In addition, since the front piece has a long hanging length, the eave tip can be constructed using the same roof tile, and there is no need to use special role tiles.This reduces the number of members and simplifies construction. is there.
