Definitions

  • the invention relates to a roof element for houses, for example bungalows.
  • the purpose of the invention is to avoid the above mentioned disadvantages and to propose a cheaper roof element or roof in which the gutters are avoided and replaced by cheaper parts and separate building operations at the roof edges are no longer necessary.
  • a roof element for houses e.g. bungalows
  • the roof parts provided with the roof covering, or the surface(s) of the roof covering or of the roof incline(s) downwardly inwardly. Through this the rain water is compelled to flow to a single predetermined water outflow point.
  • these roof parts are so constructed that they elltend to about the middle and/or have a symmetrical form of distribution or arrangement. by this means the roof elements are still more unified and the outflow opening can be set directly in the middle of the roof.
  • a further development of the invention provides for at least one of the roof elements to be equipped with an outflow pipe located therein.
  • the receiver head in further development of the invention, provision is made for the receiver head to be equipped with a grid, a sieve or the lilre which is located over and/or beside the receiver head and can be so secured that leaves or the like can be prevented from reaching the receiver head and thus the pipe itself.
  • the receiver head can be a vertically downwardly extending pipe piece of earthenware, and it may be provided with a pipe bend to which the actual outflow pipe can be flange jointed. so that the pipe is, if necessary, changeable.
  • the attachment of the end of the outflow pipe to the head or bend can however he cffected in other ways ltnown per so, so that the outflow pipe remains, if necessary, exchangeable. although in the case of noncorroding pipes this will hardly be necessary.
  • the roof element has such a form and/or such dimensions that at the sides it extends only to the house wall, which is directly possible with the present arrangement, in contradistinction to ltnown roof elements, because there are no rain gutters but only a vertical down-pipe at one corner of the house.
  • the outflow pipe is preferably arranged running diagonally between the corner of the house and the receiver head.
  • the invention is not restricted to this however and, according to the individual case, the pipe can be carried from the receiver head to the nearest house wall, so shortening the pipe.
  • Such an embodiment can be advantageous if the plan of the house and the roof thereof is not rectangular, the house e.g. being provided with additions.
  • outflow pipes can be provided, or as the case may be, the receiver heads can be connected together through correspondingly inclined intermediate pipes.
  • a further development of the invention provides for the receiver head and/or the oudlow pipe to be arranged directly beside or against the chimney in order to increase the constructional continuity, or the static stays engaging in the chimney to be used for carrying a receiver head and/or pipe.
  • the outflow pipe itself can be provided with flanges at the end in order to facilitate mounting.
  • HG. l is a plan view of the roof or roof elements
  • F161. 2 is a view on the line 2-2 of Fit ll;
  • FIG. 3 is a section on the line Zl-Il of lFlG. ii;
  • d is a side view of the roof element, the outflow pipe, the receiver head and the grid being built in in this case, and
  • lllG. 5 is a side view of the roof element in which projecting roof edges are avoided.
  • l is a plan of the roof in which four roof elements ill, 1111, l2, 113 are shown.
  • roofelernent in the sense of this invention, however, a union of several such roof elements may be understood also.
  • the roof elements in this example of embodiment are slightly inclined towards the middle where a receiver head lid is located. The arrangement can be such that with a roof edge height of 10 meters above the ground the end 15a of the outflow pipe lid is only 9.75 meters above the ground.
  • the ends lllla, 112a and so on of the roof element llli, l2 and so on are brought to the same level by the inclination. if the roof is l2 meters long and '7 meters wide, lengthwise the rainwater runs down through 25 cm.
  • a staclr (chimney) llll is shown, to which the receiver head and/or the outflow pipe can be firmly secured.
  • the receiver head and pipe can be made in one piece or mounted as one constructional part, so that a single examina tion for fluidtightness is ensured before final mounting.
  • An advantageous development of the invention provides for the receiver head lid to be provided with a grid l lo which retains leaves and so forth. in this way the roof as a whole is given a dished form, though the roof elements llil,ll2, and so forth can also be flat.
  • Such roof elements are preferably delivered to the site in prefabricated form.
  • roof construction according to the invention permits the division of the upper or roof story into single rooms, chambers and the lilac if a sufficiently large useful roof space is available.
  • the invention is in no way limited to bungalows but can be used with advantage for all buildings of medium height, such as two to three story country houses, cg. three story houses in towns and the lilre.
  • a combination comprising a substantially flat roof comprising a plurality of prefabricated interconnected components forming together an upper surface inwardly and downwardly inclined substantially toward the center of said roof, said components having inner surfaces the upper edges of which define an outline of endless configuration; a receptacle located between said inner surfaces and having an upper edge matching said outline and joined to said upper edges of said inner surfaces of said roof components for receiving rain water therefrom; and pipe means communicating with said receptacle for draining the water therefrom, said pipe means having an outwardly and downwardly inclined portion extending located within at least one of said roof components and to the exterior of the same and a substantially vertical portion joined to said inclined portion and extending downwardly along the exterior of the building.
  • pipe means comprise a recess of tubular configuration extending through one of said prefabricated components and a plastic pipe extending through said recess and communicating with said receptacle.
  • each of said prefabricated components has a bottom face located in a common plane which when said roof is mounted on said building extends in horizontal direction.
