Definitions

  • the present invention relates to roofing tile clips, and in particular, to roofing tile clips for tile roofs supported by battens and constructed in cyclone prone areas.
  • a conventional tiled roof the roof is supported by rafters which run down the slope of the roof from a ridge line to an eave.
  • rafters Running substantially horizontally across the rafters are a plurality of lightweight timber bearers called battens which are spaced apart at a distance which approximately corresponds to the length of each tile.
  • the battens can be fabricated from either softwood or hardwood.
  • the tiles are placed on the battens with a higher part of each tile overlying a lower part of an adjacent tile.
  • Such tiles are typically terracotta or concrete and are relatively heavy. Thus in those areas where high winds are not to be anticipated, the tiles are either maintained in position by their own weight, or tied to the batten by small gauge soft wire.
  • the genesis of the present invention is to provide an alternative clip, and a method of installing same, which at least ameliorates some of the above mentioned disadvantages.
  • a roofing tile clip for tile roofs supported by battens and constructed in cyclone prone areas, said clip having a hook means shaped to engage a tile, a fastener shank receiving elongate base having a front face and rear end and shaped to permit the shank of a fastener having a head and a shank to be received by said base, and an intermediate portion interconnecting said hook means and said base, wherein said base is dimensioned to permit said clip when installed to have the head of said fastener bear against said front face, and thereby abut said rear end against the batten into which said fastener is fastened.
  • Fig. 1 is a perspective view of the prior art clip installed
  • Fig. 2 is an enlarged view of Fig. 1 without the tiles being illustrated and showing the detail of the construction of the clip;
  • Fig. 3 is a front perspective view of the clip of the first embodiment
  • Fig. 4 is a rear perspective view of the clip of Fig. 3;
  • Fig. 5 is a view similar to Fig. 1 but showing the clip of Figs. 3 and 4 installed;
  • Fig. 6 is a front perspective view of the lower portion of a two part clip of a second embodiment;
  • Fig. 7 is a rear perspective view of the upper portion of the two part clip of the second embodiment; and Fig. 8 is a front perspective view of the assembled clip of the second embodiment.
  • Fig. 1 As seen in Fig. 1, two tiles 1, 2 are arranged in adjacent courses with the tile 1 being in a course above the tile 2 so that water is shed from tile 1 onto tile 2. A higher part 11 of tile 1 overlies a lower part 22 of tile 2 to provide the desired overlap of the tiles. Only the batten 3 supporting tile 2 is illustrated in Fig. 1. A nail 4 which passes through the lower end 6 of a prior art clip 5 is partially driven into the batten 3. The upper end 7 of the clip 5 is formed into a hook which engages with the tile 1.
  • the clip 5 is fabricated from galvanised sheet steel, such as that sold under the trade name GALVABOND with the clip 5 being formed by pressing or cutting from a large galvanised sheet. Accordingly, the edges 15 of the clip 5 are not galvanised but are unprotected steel.
  • the hook 7 and upper portion of the clip 5 are provided with a pressed stiffening rib 17.
  • a loop 16 is formed by shearing a medial strip so as to form an eye shaped opening 19 through which the shank 24 of the nail 4 can pass. It will be appreciated from Fig. 2 that the edges 26 of the loop 16 which are formed during the shearing of the clip 5 are also constituted by unprotected steel.
  • the abovementioned arrangement suffers from several disadvantages. Firstly, it is prohibitively expensive to manufacture the clip 5 from a rust resistant material such as stainless steel, and thus galvanised sheet steel must be used. However, the edges 15 and 26 of the clip 5 are prone to rusting which is a particular problem in cyclone prone areas since these are located in the tropics and near tropical seas.
  • the nail 4 should be galvanised in order to protect the nail 4 from rust.
  • the sharp edges 26 of the loop 16 in practice strip any galvanising material on the shank 24 of the nail 4.
  • the nail 4 is only partially driven into the batten 3 and this requires the exercise of some skill and judgement on behalf of the installer.
  • the nail 4 will not adequately secure the clip 5 to the batten 3.
  • the head 4 can distort the lower end 6 of the clip 5, thereby damaging the clip and lessening its holding ability.
  • the tiles 1 and 2, the batten 3 and the nail 4 are as before.
  • the clip 105 of the first embodiment is fabricated as a single piece by injection moulding utilising plastics material and it is formed from a hook 107 which is connected via an intermediate portion 108 with a base 106.
  • the base 106 is preferably a hollow cylindrical tube having an interior aperture 119 which is shaped to receive the shank 24 of the nail 4.
  • the base 106 is provided with a front face 111 and a rear end 112.
  • the nail 4 has its shank 24 passed part way through the interior aperture 119 so that the base 106 lies intermediate the head 34 of the nail 4 and the tip of the nail 4.
  • the installer does not have to use any judgement since the head 34 of the nail 4 comes to rest against the front face 111 thereby automatically abutting the rear end 112 of the base 106 against the batten 3 and also placing the base 106 in compression.
  • the length of the base 106 is selected so that the clip 105 is then correctly spaced relative to the batten 3 and the tile 2. In this way, the hammer used to drive the nail 4 need not be wielded with the precision required for installation of Fig. 1.
  • the arrangements described in relation to Figs. 3-5 have a number of substantial advantages. Firstly, the clip 105 being fabricated from plastics cannot rust. Secondly, the nail 4 can be galvanised and can pass through the interior aperture 119 without stripping the galvanising from the nail thereby ensuring that the nail will be protected for a substantial period of time against rusting.
  • the clip 205 is formed from an upper portion 201 illustrated in Fig. 7 and a lower portion 202 illustrated in Fig. 6.
  • the upper portion 201 includes a hook 207 substantially as before and from which extends an upper strap 218 which is provided with a plurality of saw tooth serrations 219.
  • the lower portion 202 includes a base 206 as before from which extends a lower strap 228 which terminates in a ratchet housing 229 having a through aperture 222.
  • the upper strap 218 is able to be passed downwardly through the through aperture 222 in the ratchet housing 229 such that the serrations 219 engage with the ratchet mechanism and prevent upwards movement of the upper strap 218. That is, the upper strap 218 (and hence the hook 207) are only able to move downwardly in Fig. 8 and not upwardly, this direction of movement being indicated by an arrow in Fig. 8.
  • the nail 4 is supplied already at least partially inserted into the base
  • the major advantage of the clip 205 of the second embodiment is that the distance between the hook 207 and the base 206 is adjustable, thereby enabling the clip 205 to be used with a wide range of tile sizes, shapes and configurations.
  • the hook 207 Prior to installation, the hook 207 is spaced from the base 206 by a maximum extent, the nail 4 is driven home into the batten, and then the hook 207 is pushed downwardly in the direction of the arrow in Fig. 8 so as to engage the hook 207 with the tile 1.
  • a clip substantially in accordance with that illustrated in Figs. 6-8 was used to fabricate a test roof five ridge tiles in length and four rows of tiles in width with a pitch of 18°, rafters at 600mm intervals and terra cotta roof tiles.
  • the test roof was tested in accordance with Australian and New Zealand standard AS/NZS 2050-2002 (Tests for Roof Tiles) by CSIRO MANUFACTURING & INFRASTRUCTURE TECHNOLOGY, North Ryde, Sydney, Australia.
  • the clips were found to have an average tensile strength of approximately 180 Newtons.
  • the test roof passed all cyclic pressure tests (8,000 cycles at 1.48kPa to 1 cycle at 3.7OkPa). After completion of the tests the load on the roof was increased to 4.05kPa at which point the perimeter seal (rather than the tiles or clips) failed.
  • the weakest member in the assembly is the nail 4 which is liable to be bent upwardly, thereby releasing the tile 1 slightly and allowing the tile 1 to move upwardly to a small extent, often sufficient to relieve the momentary high stress at the peak of the storm.
  • the tiles can be re-seated and the hook 207 fully re-engaged with the tile 1 merely by pushing the hook 207 downwardly so as to further engage the strap 218 with the ratchet housing 229.
  • the nail 4 may be strengthened by work hardening as a result of the deformation brought about by the slight bending.
