Definitions

  • This invention relates to a fixing device for roof coverings, typically sheet roof coverings, having a plurality of ribbings in relief and parallel to each other, a respective fixing system and a respective fall prevention system.
  • roof coverings for buildings in particular factory sheds and warehouses, hangars or, more generally, any large-area buildings, these roof coverings consisting of a plurality of sheets, typically of metal, placed side by side and parallel to each other.
  • These coverings have a plurality of ribbings in relief, running parallel to each other and whose function is to improve mechanical strength and to allow adjacent sheets to be joined to each other.
  • the right-angle cross section profile of the ribbings may be of any shape, from the most simple, such as triangular, rectangular or trapezoidal, to more complex shapes, depending on function.
  • sheet roof coverings are known whose ribbings extend (at least but typically only) at the joints between one sheet and the two sheets adjacent to it and are the result of suitably forming the longitudinal peripheral portions of the sheets themselves.
  • the peripheral portions are suitably shaped not only to allow two longitudinal peripheral portions which are adjacent to each other to be interlocked but also to enable them to be fastened to a plug underneath them, which is in turn rigidly and securely fastened to a fixed roof structure of the building.
  • the fastening of the sheets to each other and to the plug is accomplished solely by mechanical interlocking (for example of the type commonly known as snap fastening) without using fastening elements such as bolts or nails and without making holes in the sheets.
  • the ribbings preferably also have a water drainage function, thanks to runoff channels which are built into the ribbing itself and which allow water to be drained off along their longitudinal direction, thereby preventing infiltrations to the underlying roof portion.
  • One purpose at the base of this invention is to provide a fixing device for roof coverings, typically sheet roof coverings, having a plurality of ribbings in relief, running parallel to each other, a respective fixing system and a respective fall prevention system, which are capable of overcoming one or more of the disadvantages and/or needs of the prior art.

  • the device applies a moderate pressure on the ribbing (with moderate elastic deformation thereof) at the above mentioned seat, in such a way that a friction force is advantageously created between the device and the ribbing, so that the device can resist a tractive force having a component which is parallel to the direction of extension of the ribbing.

Abstract

L'invention concerne un dispositif de fixation (1) pour des couvertures de toit (200) ayant une pluralité de nervures (201) en relief parallèles les unes aux autres. Le dispositif comprend un premier corps (2) et un second corps (3) articulés l'un avec l'autre au moyen d'une charnière (4), au moins un élément de fixation (6) qui contraint réciproquement le premier et le second corps, et au moins un élément destiné à verrouiller la rotation (7) conçu de telle sorte que, lorsque le dispositif de fixation adopte une configuration de fonctionnement de fixation dans laquelle le premier et le second corps délimitent à partir des côtés opposés un siège (8), situé sur le même côté que l'élément de fixation par rapport à l'axe de rotation au niveau de la position la plus distale de l'élément de fixation par rapport à l'axe de rotation, le siège a une section transversale à angles droits par rapport à l'axe de rotation sensiblement formée afin de correspondre à la nervure.
