FIELD OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to a weather protection roof, a method for the construction of such a weather protection roof and the use of a ridge rail element in such a weather protection roof.

Background of the invention

Weather protection roofs are basically known in the prior art. For example, the publication WO 2014/167015 A1 discloses such a weather protection roof. Weather protection roofs are used, for example, in new buildings or renovation work as a temporary roof structure to prevent rain or sunlight from penetrating an existing building or a construction site, for example if a roof of the building has been removed or is being renovated. Such weather protection roofs are usually made of Scaffolding units, so-called trusses, which in turn can be built up or put together from a large number of scaffolding elements such as columns, diagonals, tubes, bars, etc. The connected scaffolding units form a roof truss, so to speak, which serves to accommodate a protective tarpaulin that performs the function of a roof skin. To accommodate the protective tarpaulin, rail elements are usually provided on the weather protection roofs, whereby these are usually designed as piping mountings or piping connections to pull the protective tarpaulin from one end of the weather protection roof over the ridge area to the opposite end of the weather protection roof.

When assembling weather protection roofs of this type, the procedure is usually that the individual scaffolding elements are preassembled on the ground to form scaffolding units, the trusses, in a lying position. The scaffolding units are rotatably connected to one another at one of their end faces and raised in this area by means of a crane, so that the scaffolding units form a ridge area with a desired roof pitch. Further assembly work is then carried out in this raised position. The roof pitch is usually around 15 °. Although the scaffolding units themselves usually only have fleas between 0.7 and 1.5 m, the ridge area can therefore be a few meters fleas due to the roof slope to be provided. The following assembly work, such as the assembly of a ridge rail element provided in the ridge area, for example a ridge keder rail, may therefore only be carried out with so-called personal protective equipment for safety reasons.

It has now been found that there is a further need to provide an improved weather protection roof, in particular there is one further need to provide a weather protection roof that is easier to assemble.

Against this background, it is an object of the present invention to provide an improved weather protection roof; in particular, it is an object of the present invention to provide a weather protection roof that is easier to assemble. These and other objects, which are still mentioned on reading the following description or can be recognized by the person skilled in the art, are achieved by the subject matter of the independent claims. The dependent claims further develop the central concept of the present invention in a particularly advantageous manner.

Summary of the invention

A weather protection roof according to the invention comprises: at least one first scaffolding unit which forms a first roof element, the first scaffolding unit comprising at least one first rail element for receiving a flexible surface element; at least one second scaffolding unit which forms a second roof element, the second scaffolding unit comprising at least one second rail element for receiving the flexible surface element; the two scaffolding units being connected to one another at one of their end faces and forming a ridge area; at least one ridge rail element for receiving the flexible surface element, the ridge rail element being connected to the first scaffolding unit by a first fastening means and to the second scaffolding unit by a second fastening means in such a way that the rail elements of the scaffolding units and the ridge rail element form a continuous receptacle for the flexible surface element; wherein the fastening means are designed such that the ridge rail element on the scaffolding units in a pre-assembly position of the weather protection roof can be arranged or fastened and the weather protection roof can be brought from this pre-assembly position into a final assembly position in which the ridge rail element can be fixed in an end position with the fastening means.

In other words, the present invention proposes equipping a weather protection roof according to the invention with a ridge rail element which can already be connected to the scaffolding units in a preassembly position of the weather protection roof. As stated above, this preassembly position of the weather protection roof is usually a position lying on the ground in which the scaffolding units have not yet been lifted by a crane, so that the ridge rail element can be preassembled at a height of between 0.7 and 1.5 m not in the later ridge area, which is formed in several meters of fleas. By pre-assembling the ridge rail element in this way, its assembly can be considerably simplified overall, since the arrangement of the ridge rail element on the two scaffolding units is comparatively complicated and this usually has to be carried out by two people. This pre-assembly can now take place more or less at floor level, at which the use of personal protective equipment is basically no longer necessary. The final fixation of the ridge rail element in its end position takes place again in several meters of fleas, but this fixation represents a comparatively simple assembly process, which in principle can also be carried out by just one person. With the present invention, the construction of a weather protection roof can thus be carried out much more safely and quickly.

The term “weather protection roof” is to be understood broadly in the present case and includes all constructions that can be used as a temporary roof construction or as a covering device. Also the concept of Scaffolding unit is to be understood broadly in the present case and includes any scaffolding unit constructed or assembled by scaffolding elements, such as for example uprights, diagonals, bars, etc., which can be used to form a roof element. Such scaffolding units are also known to the person skilled in the art under the term truss. In the present case, a pre-assembly position is preferably to be understood as a positioning of the scaffolding units lying on the floor. However, pre-assembly can also take place with the scaffold units not or not completely in position. In the present case, a flexible surface element is to be understood as any element that provides even only partial shielding of the area below the weather protection roof from external environmental influences. Also included here are elements that include cutouts, transparent areas, free areas or the like. In addition, the term ridge rail element is to be understood broadly in the present case and includes all elements that allow the flexible surface element to be arranged in the ridge area of the weather protection roof. Finally, the term fastening means is to be understood broadly in the present case and includes all fastening means / types provided on the scaffolding units and / or on the ridge rail element, which allow the ridge rail element to be arranged in the pre-assembly position of the weather protection roof and then moved to the final assembly position. The ridge rail element does not necessarily have to be connected to the scaffolding units in a captive manner by means of the fastening means in a pre-assembly position, even if this possibility is preferred. Rather, using appropriate guide means or holding means, it is also possible to arrange the fastening means only on the scaffolding units and / or the ridge rail element in the pre-assembly position and to fix them only in the final assembly position. It is also possible for the ridge rail element to be at least partially elastic or to be elastic in partial areas. At least the first fastening means and / or the second fastening means is preferably provided on the ridge rail element. In this context, it is particularly preferred that at least one of the fastening means is provided by an elongated screw connection. An elongated screw connection provides a particularly simple possibility of arranging the ridge rail element on the scaffolding units or, if necessary, already loosely pre-assembling it, in that the screw is passed through the elongated hole opening and not yet fixed. This also allows a relative movement of the ridge rail element while the scaffolding units are being brought into the final assembly position, in which the ridge rail element can be fixed by tightening the screw connection (s). In this context, it can furthermore be advantageous that the first fastening means and / or the second fastening means comprise at least one latching means or are formed by such a latching means. For example, the latching means can be designed and arranged in such a way that it automatically latches in the end position of the ridge rail element. Advantageously, the ridge rail element and / or comprises

Scaffolding units at least one guide means which is designed to hold the ridge rail element in an intended position relative to the scaffolding units when the weather protection roof is brought from the pre-assembly position into the final assembly position. In this context, it is particularly preferred that the guide means comprises at least two leg elements which are in operative engagement with correspondingly designed surfaces of the scaffolding units and / or the ridge rail element when the weather protection roof is brought from the pre-assembly position to the final assembly position. The leg elements can, for example, be placed on a pipe section of a scaffolding unit, so that the ridge rail element is held in position while the scaffolding units are being moved from the pre-assembly position to the final assembly position. When using such a guide means, there is also the possibility that the ridge rail element is not already attached or preassembled by the fastening means in the preassembly position, but rather the fastening means are only fixed in the final assembly position.

Alternatively or additionally, the guide means can also comprise a projection which is in operative engagement with a correspondingly designed surface or a correspondingly designed receptacle of the scaffolding units and / or the ridge rail element when the weather protection roof is brought from the pre-assembly position to the final assembly position.

Furthermore, in a further alternative or additional embodiment, the guide means can comprise at least one loop element which is in operative engagement with a correspondingly designed folding element of the scaffolding units and / or the ridge rail element when the weather protection roof is brought from the pre-assembly position to the final assembly position.

Advantageously, the scaffolding units each have a rail element on their opposite longitudinal sides for receiving the flexible surface element between which a ridge rail element is arranged such that the rail elements of the scaffolding units and the ridge rail elements each form a continuous receptacle for the flexible surface element on their longitudinal sides. In this preferred embodiment, the framework units can thus be completely covered by a flexible surface element.

Furthermore, it is preferred that the rail elements of the scaffolding units and the ridge rail element are designed as keder rails and the flexible surface element as keder tarpaulin. In a preferred embodiment, the ridge rail element comprises an arcuate area and in each case a linear area adjoining the arcuate area, the first fastening means and the second fastening means, preferably each in the form of an elongated screw connection, being provided at the lateral end of the linear regions the elongated screw connections are preferably each provided on a guide means in the form of two opposing leg elements.

The present invention also relates to a method for building a weather protection roof described above, the method comprising at least the steps: providing a first scaffolding unit which forms a first roof element, the first scaffolding unit comprising at least one first rail element for receiving a flexible surface element; Providing a second scaffolding unit which forms a second roof element, the second scaffolding unit comprising at least one second rail element for receiving the flexible surface element; Connecting the two scaffolding units at one of their end faces in a pre-assembly position of the weather protection roof; Connecting / arranging a ridge rail element for receiving the flexible planar element on or with a first fastening means on the first scaffolding unit and on or with a second fastening means on the second scaffolding unit; Bringing the weather protection roof into a final assembly position so that a ridge area is formed in the front area of the scaffolding units and the rail elements of the scaffolding units and the ridge rail element form a continuous receptacle for the flexible surface element. Furthermore, it is preferred that the method comprises the step: fixing the ridge rail element to the first with a first fastening means Scaffolding unit and with the second fastening means on the second scaffolding unit. Furthermore, it is preferred that the method further comprises the step of introducing a flexible surface element into the continuous receptacle formed by the rail elements of the scaffolding units and the ridge rail element.

Finally, the present invention relates to a use of a ridge rail element in a weather protection roof described above. Such a ridge rail element can be provided ex works with a weather protection roof according to the invention or an existing weather protection roof can be retrofitted with such a ridge rail element.

Further features, advantages and possible applications of the present invention emerge from the following description, the exemplary embodiment and the figures. Show in it:

Figure 1 is a schematic view of a preferred embodiment of an inventive

Weather protection roof in a pre-assembly position;

FIG. 2 shows a schematic view of a ridge rail element;

FIG. 3 shows a schematic view of part of a weather protection roof according to the invention in a final assembly position; and

Figure 4 is a schematic view of an inventive

Weather protection roof in the fully assembled state. FIG. 1 shows a schematic view of a preferred embodiment of a weather protection roof 10 according to the invention in a lying preassembly position. The weather protection roof 10 comprises a first scaffolding unit 11 and a second scaffolding unit 12, which are also referred to as so-called trusses. As can be clearly seen in FIG. 1, the scaffolding units 11, 12 are constructed or assembled from different scaffolding elements, such as uprights, diagonals, tubes, bars, etc., with additional reference being made to WO 2014/167015 A1 with regard to the general structure becomes. As can also be seen clearly in FIG. 1, the scaffolding units 11, 12 are rotatably connected to one another at one of their end faces in order to form a ridge area 13 there in a final assembly position (cf. FIG. 4).

The scaffolding units 11, 12 furthermore each comprise opposing rail elements 14, for example designed as piping receptacles, which serve to hold a flexible surface element (not shown), for example a piping tarpaulin. In the state shown in FIG. 1, no ridge rail element 20 (see FIG. 2) has yet been arranged in the ridge area 13. Such a ridge rail element 20 serves, together with the rail elements 14 of the scaffolding units 11, 12, to provide a continuous receptacle for the flexible surface element. For example, the flexible surface element can be inserted from one side of a scaffolding unit 11, 12 into the opposite rail elements 14 and pulled over the ridge area 14 or over the ridge rail element 20 to the opposite end of the other scaffolding unit 11, 12 and fixed there.

FIG. 2 shows a schematic view of a preferred ridge rail element 20, which can be arranged on the ridge area 13 in the preassembly position of the weather protection roof 10 shown in FIG together with the rail elements 14 of the scaffolding units 11, 12 to provide a continuous receptacle for the flexible surface element. The ridge rail element 20 comprises an arcuate area 21, to which a linear area 22, 23 adjoins in each case opposite. The ridge rail element 20 can be designed in such a way that it can at least partially deform elastically. On opposite sides, the ridge rail element 20 further comprises a fastening means, here in the form of an elongated screw connection 24. As can be seen clearly in FIG. 2, the ridge rail element 20 comprises a receptacle 25, for example again in the form of a welt receptacle 25, which corresponds to the Rail elements 14 of the scaffolding units 11, 12 is formed. The elongated screw connections 24 are each provided on a leg element, which also serve as a guide to hold the ridge rail element 20 in an intended position relative to the scaffolding units 11, 12 when the weather protection roof 20 is brought from the pre-assembly position to the final assembly position. The leg elements can for example be arranged or placed on the pipe sections of the scaffolding units 11, 12 provided in the ridge area 13, so that the ridge rail element 20 is held in position while the scaffolding units 11, 12 are moved from the pre-assembly position to the final assembly position. When using such a guide means there is also the possibility that the ridge rail element 20 is not already fastened or preassembled by the fastening means 24 in the pre-assembly position, but the fastening means 24 are only fixed in the final assembly position. In order to move the weather protection roof 20 from its pre-assembly position shown in FIG. 1 into a final assembly position, the scaffolding units 11, 12, which are rotatably connected to one another at their end faces, are raised by means of a crane (see reference number 15 in FIG. 1), so that the scaffolding units 11, 12 the ridge area 13 shown in Figure 4 with the desired roof pitch. Further assembly work can then be carried out in this raised position.

FIG. 3 shows a schematic view of part of a weather protection roof 20 according to the invention in a final assembly position.

As can be clearly seen in FIG. 3, the rail elements 14 of the scaffolding units 11, 12 and the receptacle 25 of the ridge rail element 20 can provide a continuous receptacle for the flexible surface element.

However, the present invention is not restricted to the preceding preferred exemplary embodiments as long as it is covered by the subject matter of the following claims. In particular, the present invention is not limited to a specific shape and / or to a specific field of application of a weather protection roof.
