Description The present invention relates to a shingle member for a paved roof comprising a plurality of units such as shingles that overlap each other.

German patent application P 2 846 275, 1 discloses a shingle system consisting of a plurality of overlapping shingle members each provided with a channel adjacent to the free end of the shingle unit and over its upper and lower faces. The free end refers to the end of the roof of the kawara unit adjacent to the shingle. The shingle members used in such shingle systems include a longitudinally extending flat portion and a pair of longitudinally extending flanges substantially perpendicular to the flat portion. The height of the flat part decreases from one end of the shingle member to the other end,
The pair of flanges also define a channel of substantially constant width extending along the flanges. Desirably, one of the pair of flanges extends along one edge of the flat portion,
Preferably there is also a third flange extending from the other edge of the member in the same direction as said flanges. The shingles may be made of a suitable plastic such as PTC, or of steel coated with PVC, for example. Each shingle member can be stacked by fitting one into the other.

With such a system, a traditional stepped appearance can be obtained. Furthermore, by covering both the top and bottom surfaces of the shingle, water is prevented from getting under the shingle, such as when water is blown across the roof. The flow of water down the roof is maintained at Kawara level and is channeled into the eaves.

Although such a system can provide a stepped appearance, the ends of the straw are covered by the shingle members. Therefore, this system does not completely reproduce traditional keraba. Improved rug members have therefore been developed that have an improved appearance and include means for improving mutual engagement between like members.

According to the invention, there is provided a longitudinally extending flat portion whose height decreases from one end to the other end, and a first flange substantially perpendicular to the flat portion extending along the upper edge of the flat portion. , and a second flange extending along and substantially perpendicular to the flat portion, the second flange being spaced apart from the first flange, with the second flange being spaced apart from the first flange; In a shingle member for a covered roof, in which a channel of approximately constant height is formed to receive the edges of units such as A projecting member extends along the flat portion, and a distance is formed between the projecting member and a surface of the flat portion at least equal to the wall thickness of the flat portion, and the distance extends from the lower end to the flat portion. It extends along the
A shingle member is thereby provided which allows said projecting member to overlap said flat portion of another similar shingle member so as to be capable of being nestedly engaged with another similar shingle member. Ru.

This improves the engagement between the two rugs since the flat part of one rug member is located within said spacing between the flat part of the other rug member and the protruding member. It is desirable that the interval be approximately equal to the wall thickness of the flat portion. Furthermore, the protruding member can have an appearance similar to the edge of a Kawara. To further enhance its effectiveness, for example, the protruding member can be of a contrasting color or finish to the rest of the rug. Preferably, the protruding member has a height approximately equal to the height of the channel.

The protruding member may be a separate body attached to the flat part, but it is preferable to form it integrally with the flat part, such as by molding it together. In this case, the protruding member may form a stepped region of the flat portion.

Preferably, a second protruding member is provided adjacent to the lower edge of the flat, and a similar spacing is formed between the second protruding member and the lower end of the flat. This positions the lower portion of the flat part of a similar member. Furthermore, the second protruding member can alternatively resemble the edge of an underlayment such as slate. The second protruding member may terminate at a distance along the keratin from the high end by at least the distance that the two keratin members overlap. However, to aid in the engagement of one rabbet with the other, the second protruding member extends further towards the high end so that the two rabbet members overlap and engage each other. Preferably, a channel is provided to allow the connection. One or both of the projecting members may terminate at a distance from the lower end of the ruffled member, although the degree of positional engagement with the member is otherwise reduced. In the case of the second projecting member, it is desirable to provide a desirable appearance. However, it is preferred that the first protruding member extend beyond the lower end of the ruffled member to aid in positioning. Further, it is desirable that a notch is provided in the flat portion. It is also desirable to provide a third flange substantially perpendicularly to the flat portion, extending along the other edge of the shingle member in the same direction as the flanges. a second adjacent the lower end of the shingle member;
Advantageously, the element extends between the third flanges. Such a member may be used to position the shingle over a field, for example, and may be provided with one or more holes for receiving nails or the like.

In addition to or instead of such holes, fixing holes may be provided in the flat portion adjacent the lower end. A blocking member may be provided extending downwardly from the end of the first flange adjacent the high end of the shingle member. This improves the way Kawara rains. Preferably, the blocking member stops just short of the second flange to allow water to flow freely down the member. Additionally, terminating the second flange away from the high end of the rug may also promote free flow of water.

When used at the lower end of the arbor, a closure piece may be provided extending between the second and third flanges.

The invention also extends to a shingle system for a tiled roof using a plurality of shingle members as described herein that are telescopically engaged with one another. This system was applied for in the UK
8024104, filed on the same date as this application, may be used with ridge end caps of the type described in the PCT application filed on the same date as this application, which claims priority from No.
It is also desirable for use with the full ridge system disclosed in that PCT application, in which the top rabbet meshes with its end cap.

Some embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. In the drawings, FIG. 1 is a side view of the shingle member of the present invention, FIG. 2 is an end view in the direction of arrow X in FIG. 1, FIG. 3 is a plan view of the shingle member, and FIG. FIG. 5 is a sectional view taken along the line A--A in FIG. 4; FIG. 6 is a view showing the two rib members telescopically engaged with each other; FIG. , FIG. 7 is a perspective view showing a roofing system using a plurality of interlocking shingle members, FIG. 8 is a view similar to FIG. 4 of a modified shingle member, and FIG. 9 is a view similar to FIG. FIG. 10 is a perspective view of the configuration of FIG. 9;

1 to 5, a shingle member 1 according to an embodiment of the present invention has a generally flat portion 2 which tapers in height from a high end 3 to a low end 4. As shown in FIGS. The high end 3 of the flat part 2 is beveled. A first flange 5 extends along the upper edge of the flat part 2 and perpendicular to the flat part. The flange 5 is provided with a thinned portion 5' on the side of the lower end 4. A second flange 6 extends parallel to the underside of the flange 5. A channel 7 having a constant height is formed between the flanges 5 and 6. Along the lower edge of the flat part 2
A third flange 8 extends at right angles to. A section 9 extends between the flanges 6 and 8 on the lower end 4 side. Two fixing holes 10 are provided in the part 9. The flat part 2 is also provided with a fixing hole 11 adjacent to the lower end 4. These holes are so that it can be fixed in the field if necessary. The flange 6 terminates at a distance from the high end 3 and the flange 5
The block portion 12 extending from the flange 6 terminates at a distance from the face of the flange 6. In this way, the gap 13 is formed. This gap 13 is for receiving the thickened section normally formed at the lower end of the straw.

A first protruding member 14 extends adjacent to the upper edge of the flat portion 2 so as to form a step along the flat portion 2. The projecting member extends the length of the trellis and has a constant height slightly less than the height of the channel 7. At a position adjacent to said lower end 4 of the rabbeted member, its protruding member 14
is in the form of a tongue piece 15. That is, a recess is formed, whereby a spacing 16 is formed between the part and said flat part 2. The width of this gap is slightly larger than the wall thickness of the flat portion 2. The tongues 15 extend slightly beyond the ends of the rugs to facilitate positioning when the rugs are nested in engagement with similar members.

A second protruding member 17 extends along the lower edge of the flat portion 2 . This projecting member also extends in steps along the flat part 2 and tapers slightly towards the lower end of the ruffled member. Its second protruding member 17 terminates slightly short of the high end of the shingle. The second protruding member 17 in the part adjacent to the lower end
is formed as a tongue 18 , with a spacing 19 between its second projecting member 17 and said flat part 2 . This interval 19 also has a width slightly larger than the wall thickness of the flat portion 2. The other end of the second projecting member 17 is provided with a channel 20 for receiving the tongue 18 of the other shingle when the shingle is nested therein. Furthermore, at the high end 3, said flat part 2 is provided with a notch 21 which engages with a tongue piece 15 of another shingle member when that shingle member engages with another shingle member.

FIG. 6 shows two rib members telescopically engaged with each other. The right-hand shingle member 1 is received within the left-hand shingle member 1, while the tongue piece 15 of the first projecting member 14 and the tongue piece 18 of the second projecting member 17 of the right-hand shingle member 1 are It passes along the outside of the flat part 2 of the left shingle member 1. Furthermore, the tongue piece 18 of the right-hand shingle member 1 is inserted into the channel 20 of the left-hand shingle member. The individual shingles are thus reliably assembled and the depth of their telescopic engagement can be varied to some extent.

FIG. 6 shows the field 22 in which the edge is housed in the channel of the right-hand shingle member 1, and in which the claw 23 engages. The shingle is fixed to the field 22 by a nail 24 or the like passing through one of the holes 10 in the section 9. Said second flange 6 is cut off in such a way that the shingle can be positioned so that the bottom of the channel 7 is flush with the top surface of the field 22.

FIG. 7 illustrates this combination of shingle members in a complete roofing system. The first protruding member 14 may be colored or finished in contrast to the rest of the shingle member 1, giving it the appearance of a straw edge in conventional systems. Second protruding part 1
7 can also be in contrasting colors and finishes, giving it an authentic look. The blocking portion 12 covers the end of the straw 23 while the edge is inserted into the channel 7, improving rain protection. The slanted high end 3 also improves the appearance.

Water can only enter the shingle unit from between the top of the shingle and the flange 5. The water flows onto the flange 6. The water flows from above the flange 6 through the gap 13 to the top of the next shingle member. In this way water can flow freely down the roof.

Also shown in FIG. 7 are conventional types of rafters 25, decorative gables 26 and softs 27.

FIG. 8 shows another example of a shingle member 1' which is similar to the shingle member 1 in most respects. This shingle member is intended for use at the lower end of the shingle at eaves level and is provided with an integrally molded closure piece 28 extending between said second and third flanges 6,8. ing. Furthermore, no notch is provided at the high end of the flat portion 2. The closure piece 28 prevents birds, small animals, etc. from entering. An opening 29 is provided to allow the use of a non-corrosive metal wire hook fastener designed for the purpose. It must be of suitable length so that it can be nailed into place on the upper edge of the fascia at eave height.

Figures 9 and 10 show somewhat schematically a shingle system associated with a ridge cap 30 of the type disclosed in the aforementioned PCT application filed concurrently with the present application. The cap is made of molded plastic or metal, for example, and has an end plate 31 with a conventional ridge covering one end of the straw 33 and having an upper peripheral flange 32 for positioning. The ridge, as well as other ridge straws (not shown), rest on top flanges 34 of extruded plastic U-shaped members 35 placed on either side of the ridge. The bottom flange 36 of the member 35 is provided with an upwardly extending portion 37 into which the top hook is hooked to hold the hook in place. The member 35 is also fixed to the roof by suitable means such as nails.

An enlarged portion 38 having a circular cross section is provided at the free end of the flange 34, and a castle-shaped through hole 39 is provided in the enlarged portion 38. The enlarged portion 38 is for use with securing straps (not shown) to secure the ridge straw along the roof, as described in the aforementioned PCT application. The end cap is fixed to its flange by bolts 40 inserted into the through holes 39.

Said bottom flange 36 is provided with an elongated slot 41 viewed from the point of attachment for receiving said part 9 of the shingle 1. The shingle member is thus positioned with its upper end. The tongue 15 of the first projecting member 14 and the tongue 18 of the second projecting member 17 pass through the outside of the plate 31 of the end cap 30 to further aid in engagement.
