Definitions

• the invention relates to a holder for climbing steps, snow guard, grate support and similar roof accessories, for attachment to a roof panel, consisting of an inverted U-profile, the longitudinal legs with their free edges rest on the roof panel surface and the transverse legs via connecting means through the roof panel with a Counter plate is connectable.
• the roof panel can be made of fiber cement or plastic. It can also be a concrete roof tile or a clay roof tile.
• a bracket of the type mentioned in the introduction is known from DE 25 17 457.
• the U-profile forms one leg of an L-angle, the other leg of which serves as a support for a snow guard.
• Other accessories require different designs of the bracket.
• a tread grate is known in the form of a half-shell arranged on the top of the roof tile, which is connected through the roof tile with a sheet metal plate which is adapted to the lower surface of the roof tile.
• this holder can only be used together with a special roof tile, which has a wedge-shaped thickening on the weather side with a concave bearing surface adapted to the half-shell.
• EP 0 499 145 AI and EP 0 666 950 B1 show special brackets for roof accessories which can only be mounted on a special roof tile with a special profile and a reinforced central area on the underside.
• Other special solutions for attaching roof accessories are, inter alia, from DE 41 24 148 AI and DE 196 29 672 AI known.
• the object of the invention is to create a universal holder which is suitable both for most common roof tile profiles and for fastening most roof accessories.
• the object is achieved in a holder of the type mentioned in the present invention in that the cross leg of the U-profile is designed as a flat support bracket for the accessories.
• the essence of the invention is therefore to design the holder as a universally usable console, which represents a standardized assembly platform for accessories which are adapted to the intended use, but can be connected uniformly to the console.
• Most types of roof tiles have an upper and lower profile, which allows the attachment of such a bracket.
• a variety of different roof accessories, such as climbing steps, snow guard and tread support can be attached to this bracket. Since the holder according to the invention has a simple geometry, it can be produced in large quantities at low cost. Warehousing and logistics are correspondingly simple.
• the longitudinal legs of the U-profile can be angled at their free edges to enlarge their contact area on the roof plate surface, in particular angled outwards (claim 2).
• the connecting means are preferably designed at the same time as fastening means for the accessories (claim 3). This facilitates and accelerates the assembly of the bracket and the accessories.
• an elastic intermediate layer is advantageously arranged between the underside of the U-profile and the roof panel surface (claim 4).
• the elastic intermediate layer can consist of at least one profile body (claim 5).
• one profile body can be pushed onto each of the two free edges of the longitudinal legs of the U-profile.
• the profile body (s) can be made of rubber or plastic.
• the counterplate is advantageously provided in one piece with a hook for hanging in a roof batten (claim 6). This can improve the load transfer to the roof structure, e.g. when particularly high loads, such as a satellite antenna, have to be absorbed.
• the hook can be L-shaped or C-shaped.
• the counter plate can be provided on the underside with an approximately inverted U-shaped angle, the free legs of which each have an approximately rectangular recess on the eaves side for support on a support slat (claim 7). This measure stabilizes the structure and reduces the risk of the roof panel breaking.
• the counterplate can be provided in one piece with a hook for support on a roof battens (claim 8).
• a further improvement in security against lifting can be achieved in that the hook and / or the angle of the counter plate have a hole for fastening to a roof batten (claim 9).
• the holder is with provided a profile body for arrangement between the counter plate and the underside of the roof plate (claim 10).
• This embodiment is particularly suitable for roof panels, the lower surface of which is uneven and / or not planar but profiled, for example concave or convex, in the support area of the counterplate.
• the profile body has an upper profile, which is at least partially complementary to the profile of the lower surface of the roof panel. To use the proposed holder in connection with roof panels with a different profile of the lower surface, it is therefore sufficient to provide a corresponding number of different profile bodies.
• the profile body is preferably a hollow profile (claim 11).
• the profile body can be slotted on the top parallel to its longitudinal axis (claim 12).
• the legs of the profile body are resilient.
• the profile body is preferably positively connected to the counter plate (claim 13).
• the profile body and the counter plate can be in one piece (claim 14).
• the counter plate and / or the profile body can be made of plastic (claim 15). This can have a certain elasticity to compensate for surface irregularities on the underside of the roof panel.
• the U-profile and the counterplate can be locked through the roof panel and, if necessary, the profile body using at least one bolt-shaped fastening means. be bound, which is enclosed by a sleeve-shaped spacer (claim 16).
• Embodiments of the holder according to the invention are shown schematically simplified in the drawing. It shows:
• Fig. 1 shows an embodiment of an inventive

• a holder according to the invention is mounted, which consists of an inverted U-shaped mounting bracket 2, which rests with its two U-legs 2a and 2b on the roof plate 1 on both sides of the central brim la.
• the lower edges 2c and 2d of the two U-legs 2a and 2b are bent outwards, etc. at an angle that is adapted to the curvature of the central brim la of the roof plate 1 in the respective strip-shaped support areas.
• the U legs 2a and 2b of the fastening bracket 2 would correspondingly have different lengths.
• Load-distributing profile strips 6 made of rubber or plastic are pushed between the lower edges of the U-legs 2a, 2b and the roof plate 1 and pushed over the U-legs 2a, 2b. orderly.

• the counter plate 4 can be made of flat material, e.g. made of galvanized sheet metal, which is angled at its ridge-side end to a C-shaped hook 4e for hanging in a roof batten (not shown) and has two tongues 4a and 4b on the eaves side, which are supported on the ridge-side narrow side of the next eaves-side roof batten. Similar to the mounting bracket 2, the longitudinal edges 4c and 4d of the counter plate 4 are folded, so that the strip-shaped surfaces thus formed are complementary to the corresponding surface areas of the underside of the central brim la.
