Definitions

• the present invention relates to a metal tile and a roof made with such tiles.
• Such tiles are used to make a metal roof of a building.
• metal tiles Unlike metal roofing sheets used to make a metal roof, metal tiles have a high decorative and aesthetic function. Indeed, the purpose of the metal tiles is to substitute, by imitating them, traditional tiles.
• traditional tile must be understood as designating any type of roofing element, earth, concrete, slate, stone or other, whatever the color, the external appearance, smooth or not , and / or the geometric shape of the cover element.
• the cover elements usually used are of reduced relative size and must be installed individually on the roof structure or support. The installation is carried out in partial covering of the elements, in order to ensure the watertightness of the roof and the drainage of the rain water or the snow, according to the slope of the roof.
• certain types of roofing elements for example slate, have more or less regular shapes and have a unit weight of several kilograms. These various characteristics imply that the implementation of such elements is long, difficult and requires the realization of a framework or a suitable support.
• metal tiles are known.
• the latter are in the form of panels, rectangular or square, with a color and / or an outer coating imitating a given type of tile.
• Such a panel has such dimensions that it can replace several traditional tiles.
• FR-A-2440 445 which describes such a metal tile in the form of a rectangular plate provided over the width of three waves.
• WO-A-2005/042871 also discloses a metal tile with repeating patterns, the latter being cavities.
• the invention intends to remedy more particularly by proposing a metal tile allowing easy installation to make a roof, while avoiding a bad flow of water.
• the subject of the invention is a metal tile comprising, on at least one face, patterns whose length-to-width ratio of each pattern is between 0.75 and 1.25, two opposite and parallel edges of the tile being identical and provided with at least one water flow channel, characterized in that the length-to-width ratio of the tile is also between 0.75 and 1.25.
• the banks are the edges parallel to the direction of the slope of the roof that define the slope thereof, It is sufficient to respect the orientation of the tile so that the flow channels ensure effective evacuation of the water. In other words, it is necessary to make sure of the orientation of the tile with respect to the slope of the roof.
• such a tile may comprise one or more of the following features:
• each pattern is between 0.9 and 1, 1.
• each pattern each comprise at least one water flow channel.
• the patterns include a central zone configured to also ensure the flow of water.
• the invention also relates to a roof made with at least two tiles conforming to one of the preceding characteristics.
• FIG. 1 is a perspective view of a tile according to one embodiment of the invention
• FIG. 2 is a perspective view, on another scale, of several tiles in position on a roof support and
• FIG. 3 is a partial view, in perspective and on a larger scale, of a portion of the tile of Figure 1.
• Figure 1 illustrates a metal tile 1, according to a first embodiment of the invention, before use, namely its implementation on a roof.
• a tile 1 is, for example steel, aluminum or a metal alloy.
• the tile 1 is in the form of a panel, whose length L is generally between 0.2 m and 6 m and its width L1 is generally between 0.5 m and 1.5 m.
• the ratio R1 between the length L and the width L1 of the tile 1 is between 0.4 and 4, advantageously between 0.75 and 1.25.
• the tile 1 comprises two opposite edges 2, 3 parallel.
• the edges 2, 3 define, when the tile 1 is in position on a roof support, the slope P of the roof.
• one or the other of the edges 2, 3 is tangent to the edge of the roof, it is associated with an element defining a edge strip.
• each edge 2, 3 there is the presence of at least one channel 4.
• each edge 2, 3 has a single channel 4.
• the channels 4 are obtained by a configuration of the upper face 5 of the tile 1, this face 5 having reliefs or waves defining the channels 4.
• the upper face 5 is the visible face of the tile 1 when it is in position on a roof support.
• two positive waves 6, 7 are separated by a negative wave, with respect to the main plane of the face 5. De facto, this negative wave forms the channel 4, bordered by the waves 6, 7.
• the tile 1 generally comprises between three and one hundred and thirty patterns M, according to the dimensions commonly encountered tiles 1.
• the tile 1 comprises forty-eight patterns M distributed in eight parallel rows. The eight rows are arranged along the length L of the tile 1.
• the patterns M are more particularly visible in FIG. 3.
• a pattern M comprises a concave main zone 8.
• the concavity of the zone 8 is oriented towards the outside of the tile 1.
• This zone 8 is bordered, according to the width L1 of the tile 1, by two channels 4.
• these channels 4 are identical with each other and with the channels 4 situated on the edges of the tile 1.
• the channels of the patterns M are different from each other and / or with respect to the channels 4.
• the zones 8 of two adjacent patterns M have in common one
• a pattern M is defined by a concave zone 8, a wave 6 or 7 and a channel 4.
• each of the units M constituting the tile 1 has a ratio Rm of its length LM over its width Lm between 0.75 and 1.25, advantageously between 0.9 and 1.1.
• each pattern is generally square in shape and the tile 1 is symmetrical along an axis parallel to its length L.
• the tile 1 is also in a generally square shape. Alternatively, it is of another form.
• the placement of the tiles 1 on a support 9 constituting the roof is illustrated schematically in Figure 2.
• the support 9 is formed by several wooden boards assembled to achieve a sub roof.
• the support 9 is fixed, in a manner known per se, on a frame 10.
• To perform the placement of the tiles we first place a tile 1 on the support 9, indifferently on a right edge D or left G of the roof T, the edges being defined with respect to the slope P of the roof T or from any other place of the roof located between the edges D and G, for example in central position.
• the first tile 1 is always positioned from the low point of the roof T. Once the first tile 1 in place, place another tile 1, towards the other left edge G or right D of the roof T, always from the lowest point of the roof.
• the channels 4 of a tile 1 are supported on the channels 4 of another tile 1.
• the area of overlap may be larger.
• the main zones 8 of the two tiles 1 overlap, see what are the patterns M overlapping.
• a row of tiles 1 is in position on the entire lower part of the roof, is positioned another tile 1, from the same right edge D or left G or the opposite edge.
• This tile 1 is placed so as to overlap, according to the length L of the tile 1, one of the previously placed tiles.
• the overlap is at least 35 mm, the length of the end row of patterns M, taken along the length L of the tile 1.
• This second row is then continued, placing the tiles 1 so that there is partial overlap according to the slope of the roof and in a direction perpendicular to this slope.
• a roof is thus made with a mutual overlap, partial, of the tiles 1. It is not necessary to fix the tile in all points. In addition, no cutting of tile 1 is necessary to ensure roof coverage. Due to the symmetry in the patterns of the tile, playing on the overlap area between the tiles 1, ensures the installation of the roof, regardless of the layout, without cutting a tile. Thanks to the invention, it assures rapid assembly, easy and avoiding any mounting error, which ensures the tightness of the roof.
