Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Technical Field of the Invention] The present invention relates to a tile for melting snow that is placed on the roof of a house in a snowy region.

[Technical background of the invention and its problems]

In snowy areas such as Hokuriku, there is a lot of snow on the roof, which can be dangerous due to the heavy load.
Snow is removed from the roof by hand. However, the work of removing snow from roofs is not only hard work but also extremely dangerous, so conventionally various snow melting devices have been installed to melt the snow.

As an example of such a snow melting device, for example, a pipe is installed on the ridge of a roof, a large number of small holes are drilled in the pipe, water is released from each small hole, and the snow is melted by the water. By the way, the tiles used on ordinary roofs are called flat tiles, and their cross-sectional shape is curved low at the center, so that the water released from the pipe flows only to the lower part of the tile. The snow on some parts melts and flows down, but the snow that accumulates on the high parts on both sides of the tile remains unaffected by the water, and when there is a lot of snowfall, the snow that accumulates on both ends forms a continuous arch. This creates a tunnel-like structure, which has the disadvantage that water only flows through the tunnel and does not function as a snow melter.

[Purpose of invention]

The present invention was developed based on the above-mentioned circumstances, and is a snow-melting tile that prevents the water dissipated from the ridge from flowing down partially at once, and can spread the water over almost the entire surface of the roof to melt snow. The purpose is to provide

[Summary of the idea]

The configuration of the present invention to achieve the above object has an overlapping margin that is a smooth surface at the upper end of the upper surface of the substrate, and a step-like uneven surface is formed following the overlapping margin to the lower end of the upper surface of the substrate. Leg pieces are provided on both sides of the back side of the board, except for the overlapping part that overlaps with the overlapping margin, and the leg pieces are arranged so that when the board is placed on the sheathing board of the roof, the board does not tilt. On the other hand, the lower end of the substrate is formed so that it can be held in an inclined state where it floats above the shedding board, and each stepped surface of the uneven surface is formed so that it can be held horizontally, so that it extends from the upper end to the lower end on one side of the substrate. It is characterized in that a protruding strip is provided and a groove into which the protruding strip is fitted is provided on the other side.

[Example of idea]

To explain the present invention with reference to an embodiment, as shown in FIGS. 1 to 7, the tile main body 1 is made of fired clay like a conventional tile, and is made of a single plate-shaped substrate. A step-like uneven surface 3 is provided on the upper surface of 2, leg pieces 4, 4 are provided protrudingly on both sides of the back surface, and the tile bodies 1 adjacent to each other on both sides are connected by the engagement relationship of the protruding strips 5 and the grooves 6. The upper and lower tile bodies 1 are formed so that the upper and lower ends thereof overlap each other, and the tile body 1 is attached to the sheathing board 7 of the roof as shown in FIG.
The lower end of the board 2 is fixed to the top by the leg pieces 4 in a state that it is raised above the shedding board 7.

The means for overlapping the upper and lower tile bodies 1, 1 is provided with an overlapping margin 8 having a smooth surface at the upper end of the upper surface of the substrate 2, and an overlapping portion 9 overlapping the overlapping margin 8 at the lower end of the substrate 2. be. Further, a small hole 10 is bored in the overlapping margin 8, through which a fastener for fixing the tile main body 1 to the shedding board 7 is passed.

Next, the leg piece 4 is formed into a wedge shape, and is provided so that its taller part protrudes toward the lower end of the substrate 2, and is provided above the overlapping part 9. . The inclination of the leg piece 4 is formed so that when the board 2 is placed on the sheathing board 7 via the leg piece 4, the lower end of the board 2 is held in a state floating above the sheathing board 7 as described above. There is.

Therefore, the uneven surface 3 on the upper surface of the substrate 2 has a step-like shape rising from the bottom to the top, and is provided from the lower end of the substrate 2 to the overlapping margin 8. Further, each stepped surface 11 of the uneven surface 3 is formed so as to be horizontal when the substrate 2 is placed on the shedding board 7. Further, partition walls 2a, 2a are erected on both side edges of the substrate 2 at the same height as the high portions of the uneven surface 3.

The overlapping portion 9 protrudes from the lower end of the substrate 2 by extending downward from the leg piece 4, and has an upper surface that is curved or inclined relative to the uneven surface 3 and is formed lower at the bottom.
Also, when the tile bodies 1 and 1 are stacked on top of each other,
As shown in FIG. 10, the overlapping portion 9 is in close contact with the overlap margin 8 of the lower stage.

Further, the protruding strip 5 protruding from one side of the substrate 2 extends from the upper end of the substrate 2 to the lower end slightly above the lower end of the substrate 2, but does not reach the lower end. The provided groove 6 is formed so that the protruding strip 5 fits therein, and is provided between the upper end and the lower end of the substrate 2. The horizontal tile bodies 1 and 1 are connected to each other by fitting the protrusions 5 into the grooves 6, but in order to treat rainwater that has entered between these engagements, a gutter groove 12 is formed on the upper surface of the protrusions 5 over the entire length. A guide groove 13 is provided at the lower end of the gutter groove 12 to pass through the protrusion 5 and flow down onto the lower tile main body 1. The thickness of the tile main body 1 is reduced by forming the back surface into an arch shape as shown in FIG.

As shown in FIGS. 8 and 11, 1a is the main body of the double box tile, 1b is the main body of the keraba tile, and 1c is the main body of the eaves tile. A decorative hanging piece 15 is hung on the eaves side, and a cover plate 16 is provided on the decorative hanging piece 15 to hide the joint with the adjacent eaves tile main body 1c.
The keraba tile main body 1b has a hanging piece 16 similar to the above-mentioned hanging piece 14 on the gable side, and a notch 17 is provided at the lower end of the hanging piece 16 to engage with the hanging piece 14 of the multi-box tile main body 1a. . Also, there is a decorative hanging piece 1 on the eaves side of the eaves tile main body 1c.
8 are installed vertically, and each tile body 1a, 1b, 1c
The other structure is the same as that of the tile main body 1 described above.

The roof is covered with each of the above-mentioned tile bodies 1, 1a, 1b, and 1c, and a sprinkler pipe 19 is installed on the ridge as shown in FIG. If the water is received by the gutter 21 at the eaves and guided to the water tank 22, and the water in the water tank 22 is circulated by the pump 20, the water released from the sprinkler pipe 19 will flow down over each tile body in sequence. do. When flowing down, the uneven surface 3 is formed on the upper surface of the substrate 2, and each step surface 11 is horizontal, so that the water spreads over the entire surface on the horizontal step surface and keeps water at all times. There is, and even if it snows, the snow is melted by water and flows downward at the same time. Note that there are partition walls 2a on both sides of the board 2,
2a, water will not flow down to the sides.

[Effect of idea]

According to the snow-melting tile of this invention, a step-like uneven surface is provided on the upper surface of the tile body, and each step of the uneven surface is formed into a horizontal surface, so that water dissipated from the ridge can be distributed over the entire surface of the horizontal step surface. Since the snow is held at a lower level and sequentially flows down onto the lower step surface, the snow is melted by the water held on the step surface and flows down, preventing snow from accumulating on the roof at all. Furthermore, when roofing tiles, the upper and lower tiles are stacked one on top of the other, and horizontally adjacent tiles are connected by engagement of the protrusions and grooves, making the roofing operation easier.

Incidentally, if water is circulated and used as in the embodiment, water can be used without wastage.
