Abstract

An integrated roofing structure composed of an upper roofing slate, a lower ceiling plate, a plurality of binding battens connecting the roofing slate and ceiling plate together and an insulated material filled therein so as to form an integrated structure having multiple functions for roofing, ceiling and heat insulation.

Description

  • This invention relates to a roof structure, particularly an integrated roofing structure.
  • Conventional roof consisting of a plurality of tiles should be built from tile to tile as Figures 5 and 6 shown. Either pantiles or flat tiles are generally made from baked clay or ceramic materials and are easily broken during construction or maintenance for roofing a house or a building. Each tile is independently built onto another tile so that once finishing a roof, a long period of time will lapse to increase construction cost and inconvenience for the construction work. If an insulated layer is provided under the roofing tiles to reduce solar heat especially in hot season or areas, a separated layer of insulated material should be further installed under roofing tiles to increase the initial cost when building a new roof or increase the maintenance cost when renew a used roof. If for building a prefabricated house or office, a ceiling with suitable decoration shall be further fitted under the roof so as to increase production or construction cost therefor.
  • The present inventor has found the defects of conventional roofs and invented the present integrated roofing structure.
  • The object of the present invention is to provide an integrated roofing structure composed of an upper roofing slate, a lower ceiling plate, a plurality of binding battens connecting roofing slate and ceiling plate together and an insulated material filled therein so as to form an integrated structure having advantages of fast fabrication, easy construction, and multiple functions for roofing, ceiling and heat insulation.
  • An embodiment of this invention is described by way of example, with reference to the drawings in which:
    • Figure 1 is a perspective illustration of the present invention.
    • Figure 2 is a partial sectional drawing of the present invention.
    • Figure 3 shows another preferred batten in accordance with the present invention.
    • Figure 4 is a side-view illustration showing the assembly of several units of the present invention.
    • Figure 5 shows conventional roof consisting of pantiles.
    • Figure 6 shows conventional roof composed of flat tiles.
  • As shown in Figures 1 and 2, the present invention comprises: an upper roofing slate 1, a lower ceiling plate 2, a plurality of binding battens 3 connecting the upper slate 1 and the lower plate 2, and an insulated material 4 filled within upper slate 1 and lower plate 2.
  • Upper roofing slate 1 is made integratedly by molding a polymer material such as fiber glass reinforced plastics to form a plurality of combinations each combination composed of a convex tile portion 11 and a concave tile portion 12 or to form any other style to imitate the tiles with decorative designs. Every slate 1 is formed with side connecting edges 13 for longitudinally connecting another neighbouring slate 1.
  • Lower ceiling plate 2 is also made integratedly by molding a polymer material such as fiber glass reinforced plastics (FRP) to form a plate which may be formed with decorated grooves or features 21 during molding processing. Each plate 2 is formed with side connecting edges 22 for connecting another neighbouring plate 2 longitudinally.
  • Binding batten 3 is made from wooden material or from FRP or other suitable materials as shown in Figure 3. Each batten 3 is formed with several traverse holes 31 or 31a either for saving material cost or for penetrating insulated material 4 therethrough. For connecting the upper slate 1 with the lower plate 2, adhesive 32 may be provided to strongly bind them together.
  • The insulated material 4 is filled between upper slate 1 and lower plate 2. Insulated material 4 may be chosen from polyurethane (PU) foaming material and may be directly foamed in suit within the space formed by upper slate 1 and lower plate 2. During foaming process, the PU foam may penetrate through holes 31 to homogeneously fullfil the space and also form an insulation lining therebetween. Naturally, other suitable insulated materials may be used in the present invention. The batten 3 is formed as H shape as shown in Figure 3.
  • When combining several units of the present invention to construct a tile roofing as shown in Figure 4, one lower ceiling plate 2 lowerly extends to form a gutter 23 and extends upwards to form a joint extension 24 and another plate 2 is lowerly formed with another joint extension 25. Two joint extensions 24, 25 can be assembled by fixing bolts or screws 61 on a washer 6 and supported by beams 7. For finishing the ridge covering as Figure 4 shown, a hip tile 5 is further provided to fit the two units of the present invention. If for longitudinally combining the two units of this invention as Figure 2 shown, a hip tile 5 may also be provided for their connection. Such a hip tile 5 as shown in Figures 1 and 2 comprises a fixing clamp 51a for stably fastening all the connecting edges 13, 22 so as to connect two neighbouring units together. If for connecting the two units to cover the ridge as Figure 4 shown, the clamp 51a serves to fasten the two connecting edges 26 formed on ceiling plate 2. A washer 6 and several bolts 61 are used for their combination which is supported by beam 7. The hip tile 5 shown in Figure 4 is also formed with side extensions 52 which may be coated with adhesive 53 so as to be bound on roofing slates 1. The present invention may be preformed with skylight/ventilation holes by those skilled in the art.
  • The present invention is superior to any conventional tiled roofings with the following advantages:
    • 1. The structure provides multiple functions for roofing, ceiling and solar heat or cold weather insulation.
    • 2. The roofing slate and ceiling plate are all integratedly produced by molding process for saving production and construction cost. The colors, Shapes or any decorative feature can be easily prefabricated for diversified applications and for saving cost.
    • 3. The structure is water, weather, heat resistant and strong enough to prolong its service life and minimize the maintenance cost.
    • 4. All the integrated parts are prefabicated so that the complete units can be fastly assembled in construction site to facilitate the house construction and save the installation cost as well.
