Abstract

PURPOSE:To easily carry out placing work of roof tiles at the valley of a roof. CONSTITUTION:The ends of at least two tiles 1A, 2A are superimposed to make a roof tile 1 of a house. Since a fraction 1b of a tile is fixed at a larger fraction 1a of a roof tile even if the roof tile 1 is broken to cause the small fraction 1b thereof, only the larger fraction 1a may be fixed to the roof.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to roof tiles, and more particularly to a roof tile structure that is advantageous for installing small tile pieces in roof valleys.

0002

2. Description of the Related Art Roof tiles are made of a material such as clay and are formed into a substantially plate shape, and are laid side by side on roof girders or the like. FIG. 3 is a plan view of the valley of the roof of a house, and 1
1 is a tile, and the roof has a slope in the direction of the arrow. A gutter 12 is disposed at the deepest part of the valley, and rainwater flows down on the tiles 11 in the direction of the broken line arrow and flows into the gutter 12.

In the figure, 11a and 11b are the deepest tiles located directly above the gutter 12. As shown in FIG. 4, the tile piece 11a is made by cutting the tile 11 along the diagonal line A-A and removing the shaded portion. Moreover, the tile piece 11b is made by cutting the tile 11 along the diagonal line BB and removing the shaded part, as shown in FIG.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION Generally, tiles 11 are fixed on a roof using plaster or the like. One tile piece 11
Since part a is relatively large, it can be firmly fixed on the roof by applying plaster to the broken line parts a and b. However, since the other tile piece 11b is small, it cannot be firmly fixed on the roof with plaster or the like. Moreover, since this tile piece 11b is located directly above the gutter 12, there is a complete space below it, and there is nothing that can support this tile piece 11b from below.

[0005] Conventionally, therefore, such a tile piece 11b has been fixed on the roof by, for example, attaching it to the neighboring tile piece 11b or a timber board using copper wire, or by applying a large amount of plaster. Ta.

However, it is extremely troublesome to carry out such work on the roof, and moreover, when a large amount of plaster is applied, the plaster absorbs rainwater and penetrates to the back side of the roof by capillary action, causing damage to the inner roof. corrode the material,
There were problems such as causing rain leaks. Therefore, an object of the present invention is to provide a means by which small tile pieces such as the above-mentioned tile piece 11b can be easily laid on a roof.

[0007]

[Means for Solving the Problems] To achieve this goal, the present invention provides a single roof tile 1 by overlapping the ends of at least two roof tiles 1A and 1B and integrally molding them.

[0008]

[Operation] According to the above structure, when the roof tile 1 is laid along the gutter 12 in the valley of the house, the roof tile 1 is cut along the gutter 12. Even if a piece 1b occurs, this tile piece 1b is integrally formed with the large tile piece 1a, so it is only necessary to fix the large tile piece 1a to the roof, and the work of fixing the small tile piece 1b is saved. It can be made unnecessary.

[0009]

Embodiments Next, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 is a perspective view of a house tile, and FIG. 2 is a plan view. This house tile 1 is made by overlapping the ends of two tiles 1A and 1B and integrally molding them. The material and molding method for this roof tile 1 are free, but it can be manufactured, for example, by pressing clay and then drying and firing it. Of course,
The shapes of tiles 1A and 1B are not limited to this embodiment.

This house tile 1 is divided into tile pieces 11a and 11a shown in FIG.
When laying it at the same position as 11b, cut along the diagonal line C-C and remove the shaded part. Then, one tile 1
A is a large tile piece 1a, and the other tile 1B is a small tile piece 1b. Therefore, when installing on the roof, use 1 large piece of tile.
You only need to fix a with plaster, etc., and use a small piece of tile 1.
b is integrated with the large tile piece 1a, so the small tile piece 1b
There is no need to take any means to fix it. By using the house tile 1 as described above, the work of laying tiles in the valleys of roofs, etc. can be easily performed. In the above embodiment, two tiles are integrally molded, but three or more tiles may be integrally molded.

[0011]

Effects of the Invention As explained above, in the present invention, the ends of at least two tiles 1A and 1B are overlapped to form one house tile 1, so the tiles cannot be cut at the valleys of the roof. The work of laying small tile pieces 1b can be easily carried out, and the small tile pieces 1b can be firmly fixed.
