Definitions

• the invention relates to a roofing element for a building, particularly for flat roof structures, the element comprising means for the inclination thereof.
• the object of the invention is to eliminate the above- described problems and to achieve the inclination of a roof element in an as simple and reliable manner as possible.
• This object is achieved with the roofing element for a building according to the invention, characterized mainly in that the means for inclining the element comprise an aggregate to be fastened to the element and having a vertically adjustable height and comprising at least two portions insertable within each other that extend longitudinally on the lower surface of the element.
• the means for inclining the element are preferably composed of U profiles that are insertable within each other. If there are two profiles, their branches may point towards each other, whereby the profiles that are insertable within each other together form a closed casing-like profile aggregate.
• the inclination elements may also be composed of pipes and U profiles.
• inclination elements there may be the desired number of suitable co-operating inclination elements at suitable positions adaptable within each other.
• the adjustment i.e. the locking of the sections adaptable within each other with respect to each other, takes place simplest by welding or with screws.
• the inclination elements may be installed either on one or both edges of an element. In view of loadings, it is preferable to install inclination elements along the entire length of the element.
• the adjustment system of the invention is extremely simple and secure as regards adjustment and installation. It also excellently fulfils all strength and durability criteria and is suitable in connection with all kinds of roof elements.
• Figure 1 shows the formation of a slope on the roof of a building by means of two roofing elements of the invention
• Figure 2 is a perspective view of the roofing element for a building according to the invention.
• Figures 3 to 7 show some inclination element alternatives of the invention.
• FIG. 1 it shows a point on the roof of a flat- roofed building wherein a slope is required for guiding rainwater, for example.
• Suitable inclination means are required to implement said inclination.
• these means for inclining an element 1 comprise aggregates 2 to be fastened to both sides of the element 1 and having adjustable vertical heights and at least two sections 3 and 4 insertable within each other and extending longitudinally on the lower surface of the element.
• the sections insertable within each other that are shown are composed of two U profiles 3 and 4 that are insertable within each other and whose branches 3a and 4a point towards each other, whereby the profiles 3 and 4 together form a closed casing-like profile aggregate.
• a slope or inclination is first accomplished at the junction of two elements 1 in such a manner that the height of the adjustable aggregate 2 on the edge on the side of the junction of the elements 1 is smaller than on the other edge of the elements 1.
• the height 2 of each aggregate may vary in the longitudinal direction of the edge of the element 1 in order to accomplish a slope also in a second direction, i.e. guidance of the liquid collected at the junction of the elements 1 to a sewerage site (not shown) along the inclined junctions of the elements 1.
• the sections 3 and 4 that are insertable within each other are preferably locked by welding them together at the desired vertical position and by also fastening them to the element 1 in the same manner, if its lower surface is of metal.
• the sections 3 and 4 that are insertable within each other may also be locked to each other with screws. This being so, the sections 3 and 4 may be provided with a system perforation (holes ready made at constant intervals), whereby the screw fastening is easier.
• Figures 3 to 7 show some different implementations of the adjustable aggregate 2 composed of the sections 3 and 4 that are insertable within each other. They may be composed of different combinations of U profiles, pipes, H profiles etc. and may comprise two or more parts. It is only essential that the components are insertable within each other and that elongated support structures may be formed from them, whose height may vary in their longitudinal direction.
• the aggregate 2 having a vertically adjustable height may also be installed on one or both edges of the element 1.
• the aggregate 2 is preferably installed substantially along the entire length of the element 1 , but it may be shorter, if need be, or composed of more short pieces.
• the structure of the element 1 itself is not limited in any way, but it may be any inclinable element 1 suitable for the purpose, to which the aggregate 2 may be installed in an appropriate manner.
