Definitions

  • This invention relates to a roofing medium and is concerned more particularly with a roofing medium for the roofing of flat roofs or roofs having a low degree of slope.
  • a roofing panel comprises a sheet of material formed with upward projections or protuberances spaced apart in twol directions at right angles, so as to form a trough runnlng 1n one direction across the sheet, and a number of valleys slopo ing downwards towards the trough and running in directions substantially perpendicular to the trough.
  • the trough has a straight bottom, and 4can lie flat on a horizontal plane surface.
  • a protuberance is formed at each corner, providing two opposed valleys which meet at the centre of the panel, and a trough extending at right angles theret0.
  • edges of the panel are provided with channel formations, to overlap and fit against corresponding channel formations on an adjacent panel.
  • the invention further resides in a roofing structure 1ncluding a number of panels as defined above, arranged in overlapping relationship to form a complete rooting surface having continuous troughs extending in one dlrection, and intersecting valleys extending at right angles to the troughs.
  • FIGURE 1 is a perspective view of a shaped Square sheet roofing panel according to the invention
  • FIGURE 3 is a side elevation of the same panel in the direction of arrow Ain FIGURE 2,
  • FIGURE 4 is an end elevation of the panel in the direction of arrow B in FIGURE 2,
  • FIGURE 5 is a plan View on an enlarged scale, showing the means for joining four adjacent corners of four rooting panels, as previously described,
  • FIGURE 7 is a sectional side elevation on an enlarged scale through two adjacent panels, showing the overlapping edge formations thereof,
  • FIGURE 8 is a fragmentary end elevation showing a cradle for supporting one of the shaped sheet panels on a roof structure
  • FIGURE 9 is a plan view of a composite roof struc- 3,394,506 Patented liuly 30, 1968 ICE ture including a number of roofing panels arranged edge to edge.
  • the panel illustrated in FIGURES l to 4 is specifically intended for roofing dat roofs, or roofs having a low degree of slope, and consists of a square sheet formed by pressing from sheet aluminium and provided at each corner with a raised portion or protuberance 10 in the form of a quarter-conoid.
  • the curved surfaces of the protuberances slope downwards towards each other both laterally and longitudinally, with the peaks located at the extreme corners of the sheet.
  • the curved surfaces of the protuberances are arranged to form downwardly sloping oppositely disposed valleys 11 which meet at the centre of the sheet whilst in a direction at right angles to the valleys the Vcurved surfaces descend into a relatively deep and broad trough 12 of uniform width.
  • the edges of the sheets are designed to overlap one another to form waterproof joints, some sheet edges being specifically intended to act as Oversheets, and others as undersheets
  • the marginal portions of the sheets which are to be oversheets are provided with four parallel convex channels 15, 16, 17, 18, arranged in two pairs spaced apart by a shallow arched bridge strip 19.
  • the marginal portions of the sheets which are to be undersheets are formed with four channels 20, 21, 22, 23, arranged in two pairs of channels which are joined by a shallow arched bridge strip 24, the outermost and innermost channels 20, 23 being convex and the adjoining channels 21, 22 concave.
  • the bridges 19 of the oversheets are provided at spaced intervals with holes for the passage of the Shanks of self tapping screws 25 whilst the bridges 24 of the undersheets are formed at corresponding locations with depending funnel shaped protuberances 26 the inner surfaces of which are bitten int-o by the threads of the self tapping screws.
  • the sheets may be rectangular instead of square but in any case the sheets are preferably made in standardized sizes so that buildings can be designed or existing buildings extended in either direction using standard sheets and standard eaves details.
  • the sheets may be made of material other than aluminium for example galvanised mild steel sheet, synthetic plastics material either opaque, translucent or transparent, or of compositions such as moulded sheets of resin-bonded fiberglass.
  • FIGURE '9 illustrates a plan view of a composite roof structure including four rooting panels as previously described arranged edge to edge, so as to provide a continuous central trough with valleys on opposite sides thereof.
  • a roong structure comprising a plurality of rooling panels each formed from a sheet of material of a nonat contour and having a trough having a substantially straight bottom running in one direction across the panel, and a number of valleys sloping downwards towards the trough and running in a direction substantially perpendicular to that of the trough, the panels being arranged in overlapping relationship to form a complete rooting surface with the troughs of a plurality of said panels being in alignment with each other and extending in one direction.
