Abstract
Description
- This invention concerns roof assemblies, especially for conservatories.
- It is known to construct conservatory roofs from polycarbonate roofing panels supported between glazing bars. The glazing bars are supported by and connected at one end to a ridge structure and at the other end are supported by and connected to an eaves structure. Such ridge structures comprise a pair of flanges which the glazing bars are supported on and connected to. A ridge capping is connected to the ridge structure and the ends of the glazing bars and roofing panels. The ridge capping comprises two downwardly extending flaps or wings which overlie the ridge structure and the ends of the glazing bars and roofing panels to provide such cover. The wings of the ridge capping are kept spaced apart from the roofing panels so as to define a passageway therebetween in order to allow ventilation of the ridge structure and consequently the interior of the conservatory.
- Hipped conservatories have glazing bars extending from the ridge end radially. The flanges of the ridge structure are continued around an end thereof and the glazing bars are bolted thereto in appropriate positions. The angle of the flange is, of course, fixed and so affords no flexibility in erection of the conservatory.
- An object of this invention is to provide a ridge structure suitable for a conservatory.
- According to this invention there is provided a roof assembly for a hipped roof comprising a ridge end member and glazing bars mountable thereon via connectors.
- The glazing bars are preferably mountable on the ridge end at different angles relative thereto. The preferred ridge end member has a rim on which the connectors are securable. The connectors preferably have separable parts whereby the rim of the ridge end member can be gripped between them. In one preferred embodiment, the separable parts slide together and in another preferred embodiment the separable parts are hingedly connected. Alternatively, the two parts may be secured together by additional securing means. Thus, whether the two parts are interconnected in any way, for clamping to a ridge end member, the two separable parts of the connector may be secured together by any suitable means, such as a bolt or the like through the two parts.
- The rim of the ridge end is preferably of a circular cross-section and the connector parts preferably have lateral grooves therein corresponding in section to a part of the rim. Either or both of the rim and the connector parts grooves may be profiled to provide grip therebetween. Preferably either or both of the rim and grooves have surface serration.
- Preferably glazing bars are attachable to the connectors by engagement of suitably shaped parts of the connectors with the glazing bars. Preferably glazing bars are slidably engageable with parts of the connectors.
- Preferred glazing bars are of the type which are the subject of our co-pending U.K. Patent Application No. 9402179.7. These are of generally inverted T-section and so the connectors preferably have a slot for receiving the stem of a T-section glazing bar. The connectors preferably further have flanges to either side of the slot to engage returned ends of glazing bar flanges. Preferably ends of the flanges of the connectors are enlarged to provide grip.
- The glazing bars used in the invention may have ducted stems, in which case it is desirable for connectors to have projections that can engage in said ducts. A screw or the like through the stem side into a projection or alternatively through a part of the connector into a screw port of the glazing bar may further secure a glazing bar to a connector.
- The connectors may also have through holes in a forward end thereof, whereby the connectors can be affixed to a ridge end other than between their separable parts.
- The preferred ridge end used in the invention is an aluminium casting and the connectors are preferably plastics mouldings.

Theupper part 34 of theconnector 28 has agroove 38 in its underside corresponding to the shape of therim 22 and thelower part 36 of the connector has agroove 40 in its topside also corresponding to therim 22. Thelower part 36 has at oneend groove 42 and theupper part 34 has a stepped portion 44 formed as a tongue 46 to provide the aforesaid tongue and groove arrangement. - The two parts of the connector each have through
holes groove serrated rim 22 of theridge end 14. - The
upper part 34 of theconnector 28 has arearwards extension 54 comprising a pair of spaced parallel generally L-shapedmembers 56 in a back to back arrangement. Themembers 56 havefirst limbs 58 that together provide a slot to receive aglazing bar 26. The glazing bars 26 are generally of inverted T-section which provides a pair of flanges which are turned back on themselves at their remote ends and an upstanding limb which is bifurcated to form an upwardly open channel for receiving the upper capping. The L-section members 56 havesecond limbs 60 extending outwardly and slightly downwardly withenlarged edge formations 62. These edge formations slide into the returned ends of the glazing bar flanges. To secure the glazing bars to theupper connector parts 34, holes 64, 66 are provided through bothmembers 56 to take nuts and bolts through them and the glazing bars. - The glazing bars can with the above arrangement be secured to the ridge end at different angles by altering the spacing between the upper and
lower connector parts glazing bar 26 to be pivoted into position and then securing the two connector parts together to grip around therim 22 of theridge end 14. The serration of the rim of the ridge end and the grooves of the connector parts provide additional securement. - The
ridge end 14 can also have glazing bars secured directly thereto particularly for a flat roof arrangement by using the throughholes 23 of therim 22 to take securing bolts for the glazing bars. - Each
connector 28 also has ascrew hole 70 at its forward end. This hole takes a lockingscrew 72 as shown in Figure 2A, which can locate ingroove 74 in the surface of theskirt 20 of the ridge end. The locking screw when screwed down into the groove provides additional security for the connection but can also serve to hold the connector and hence glazing bar in position whilst the other end of the glazing bar is connected to an eaves beam and before the connector is tightened onto the ridge end. - Turning to Figures 10 to 15 of the accompanying drawings, a ridge end arrangement is shown in which
glazing bars 100 are of a type having aducted stem 102 with ascrew port 103 at or near a lower end of the stem. The ducted stem gives the glazing bars more stability against twisting. The glazing bars havecross bars 105 extending either side of the stem with end returns 106.Connectors 107 for securing the glazing bars to a ridge end 108 (which is the same as in Figures 3A and B) have been designed to suit the ducted glazing bars. - The
connectors 107 are still in two parts, namely anupper part 109 and a lower part 110 (not shown in Figures 12 to 15). The two parts are held together by a bolt (not shown) through aligned holes of the two parts. The hole through theupper part 109 can be seen at 112. The upper and lower parts each have alateral groove ridge end rim 122. The through bolt is loosened to fit the connector to the rim and then tightened to secure the connector in place. As in previous embodiments, the surfaces of the grooves may be serrated to provide additional grip on the ridge end rim. - The
upper connector part 109 has a generally flattop surface 111 and formations at one end for engaging a glazing bar of inverted T-section type, the stem of which is ducted. Those formations comprise a pair ofextensions 118 that are shaped to fit either side of a glazing bar each having one upwardly directedpart 124, which together form a gap into which the stem of the glazing bar is a sliding fit and a laterally extendingpart 126, each of which fits into the glazingbar cross bar 105 on one side of the stem. - The
connectors 107 further have anupstand 128 from theirtop surface 111 which hasside walls 130 and anend wall 132. From the opposite side of theend wall 132 is aprojection 134 which is shaped so as to fit into the duct of a glazing bar stem. Theend wall 132 also has ahole 136 through it positioned to align with the screw port of a glazing bar so that the two can be fastened together by means of a screw (not shown). - Alternatively, as indicated at 138 in Figure 10, a screw can be fitted through the side of a glazing bar stem into a
projection 134 to fasten the glazing bar to the connector. - The
top connector part 109 also has a throughhole 140 at its forward end which may be used to take a locking screw in the same way as described with reference to Figure 2A of the drawings. - It will be appreciated that other forms of glazing bar may be used in the invention.
