  • the roof-installed object is installed in a state where a predetermined height is kept from a roof surface by replacing some of a plurality of roof tiles laid on the roof surface of a roof structural member of the building by support tiles.
  • each support tile to be used includes a tile main body and a support portion.
  • the tile main body is formed to have substantially the same shape as a normal roof tile.
  • the support portion is provided so as to project from the center of the tile main body and is directly secured to the roof-installed object.
  • the support portion of the support tile has a shape projecting upward from the main body upper surface of the tile main body. Therefore, the roof-installed object such as the solar battery module and the roof surface are separated from each other by a predetermined space.
  • the support tiles can be kept at predetermined positions on the roof surface by overlapping with normal roof tiles arranged at front, rear, right, and left sides thereof and the weight of the roof-installed object and there arises no specific problem.
  • strong wind in typhoon or the like blows there is a possibility that the wind blows in between the above-mentioned roof-installed object and the roof surface and a flat plate-like installed object like the solar battery module is easy to be influenced by such strong wind.
  • the support tile as disclosed in Patent Documents 1 and 2 is laid on the roof surface of the roof structural member in the same manner as the normal roof tiles so as to be overlapped with one another. Therefore, parts of the support tile are overlapped with the normal roof tiles (tiles made of pottery) at an upper position and a lower position. As is described in detail, the lower end of the normal roof tile located at the upper side is overlapped on the upper end of the support tile from above while the lower end of the support tile is placed on the upper end of the normal roof tile located at the lower side. In this manner, the support tile is laid along inclination of the roof surface.
  • the support tile is mainly made of a metal material whereas the normal roof tiles arranged at the upper and lower sides are made of pottery.
  • a height adjusting member having a front end formed into a wedge shape is inserted into between the support tile and the roof surface from the right-left direction so as to adjust the inclination of the support tile along the wedge-shaped inclination.
  • the normal roof tile at the upper position is overlapped on the upper end of the support tile as described above, so that the support tile is moved in the direction in which the tile main body is moved upward, that is, in the direction in which the lower end of the support tile is separated from the roof surface while the upper end thereof is a fulcrum.
  • inclination (inclination angle) of the tile main body of the support tile is changed, thereby preventing the roof tile located at the lower side and the lower end of the support tile from abutting against each other.
  • the above-mentioned height adjusting member having the wedge shape needs to be inserted from the right-left direction of the support tile.
  • This requires a lot of work for an inclination adjusting operation including, for example, an operation of detaching the right and left roof tiles in some cases.
  • the roof-installed object is a relatively large-sized and heavy object such as the solar battery module and the solar water heater in many cases, and covers the roof surface of the roof structural member widely. Therefore, a plurality of support tiles are needed for installing the roof-installed object. This requires a troublesome operation of replacing the normal roof tiles by the support tiles at the respective installation places and adjusting the heights of the support tiles at the replacement positions.
  • an object of the present invention is to provide a support tile that makes it possible to simplify an installation operation of the support tile, in particular, adjust a gap between the support tile and a normal roof tile easily.
  • a support tile in order to achieve the above-mentioned object, “includes a tile main body that is installed on a roof surface of a roof structural member; a support portion that is formed on a main body upper surface of the tile main body and supporting a roof-installed object; an inclination adjusting portion that includes a through-hole portion and an inclination adjusting bolt, adjusts inclination of the tile main body with respect to the roof surface, and forms a gap between the tile main body and another tile overlapped with a tile lower side portion of the tile main body; and a plurality of nail hole portions that penetrates through the tile main body and through which securing nails for securing the tile main body onto the roof surface are capable of being inserted, wherein the through-hole portion of the inclination adjusting portion penetrates through the tile main body and has an internal thread formed on an inner circumferential surface of the through-hole portion, and the inclination adjusting bolt of the inclination adjusting portion includes a bolt shaft which has
  • the roof structural member is a member corresponding to a roof portion of a building on which the roof-installed object (details thereof will be described later) is to be installed.
  • the roof structural member collectively indicates building structural members such as “rafter”, “roofboard”, “lateral crosspiece bridged on the rafter”, and “purlin”, which support the above-mentioned roof tile and support tile. That is, it is sufficient that the support tile according to the aspect of the invention is installed on any of the building structural members.
  • a plurality of roof tiles (made of pottery, concrete, Color best, or the like) are laid on the roof structural member such that parts of them are overlapped with one another.
  • the support tile according to the aspect of the invention is installed instead of some of the roof tiles.
  • the roof-installed object is a structural member that is installed on the roof surface such as the solar battery module (solar battery panel), the solar water heater, or the like. It is sufficient that the roof-installed object is supported through the support portion of the support tile.

  • the inclination with respect to the roof surface 3 of the roof structural member 2 installed can be changed arbitrarily within a predetermined range by using the support tile 1 in the embodiment.
  • the tile lower end portion 10 a of the tile main body 4 can be moved upward with the movement between the inclination adjusting bolt 7 and the through-hole portion 6 of the inclination adjusting portion 8 , thereby adjusting the gap amount finely easily.
  • the inclination angle can be adjusted finely in accordance with the rotation amount of the inclination adjusting bolt 7 with respect to the through-hole portion 6 , thereby performing adjustment for a short period of time with higher accuracy in comparison with the adjustment using the conventional height adjusting member having the wedge shape.
  • the nail insertion hole 21 through which the securing nail 22 can be inserted is provided on the inclination adjusting bolt 7 in the penetrating manner so as to also function as the nail hole portion 9 for securing the support tile 1 .
  • This can eliminate the operation of providing the nail hole portion 9 .
  • a large number of nail hole portions 9 are not required to be provided so as to prevent disfigurement of the support tile 1 . Even when fine adjustment of the gap needs to be performed after the roof-installed object is installed, labor and operation time can be reduced largely in comparison with those in the conventional technique.
  • the bolt head 18 of the inclination adjusting bolt 7 is exposed to the main body upper surface 4 a of the tile main body 4 .
  • the bolt head 18 is not limited to be exposed in this manner.
  • a bolt head 18 a may be interposed between the tile main body 4 and the spacer member 28 . In this case, the bolt head 18 a is moved downward and abuts against the spacer member 28 by rotating an inclination adjusting bolt 7 a.
  • an inclination adjusting bolt 7 b or 7 c that is provided with a hexagonal hole portion 29 having a hexagon shape or a straight groove 30 on the surface of a shaft end portion 20 b or 20 c, respectively, may be used.
  • a bolt shaft 19 b or 19 c of the inclination adjusting bolt 7 b or 7 c which is engaged with the through-hole portion 6 , can be rotated using a tool such as an existing hexagon wrench or flat-blade screwdriver.
  • the hexagonal hole portion 29 or the groove 30 corresponds to a rotation operating portion in the invention.
  • the nail insertion hole 21 is not illustrated in order to illustrate the hexagonal hole portion 29 or the groove 30 clearly.
  • the support tile 1 in the embodiment, as illustrated in FIG. 1 to FIG. 3 , the support tile 1 is secured onto the roof structural member 2 using three securing nails 22 .
  • the support tile 1 may be secured onto the roof structural member 2 using four securing nails 22 by providing four nail hole portions 9 around the support portion 5 . This can secure the support tile 1 onto the roof surface 3 of the roof structural member 2 reliably.
  • the inclination adjusting bolt 7 on which the nail insertion hole 21 is not formed in the lengthwise direction can be used.
  • the same reference numerals denote the same constituent components as those in the support tile 1 in the above-mentioned embodiment and detail description thereof is omitted.
