Definitions
- Roof tiles are increasingly being fixed to a roof construction by means of so-called tile hooks in order to prevent the possibility of the tiles being dislodged at strong wind force and causing injury to persons and damage.
- EP-A-0 687 337 describes a tile hook, wherein two tiles are clamped onto each other between a hook-like bend and a shoulder. This known tile hook is needlessly complicated in construction and therefore costly.
- the present invention has for its object to provide an improved tile hook which is comparatively simple to manufacture at low cost price and which has a sufficient holding force for the roof tiles, for instance more than 150 Newton and preferably more than 200 Newton.
- the present invention provides a device for securing one or more roof covering elements on a roof construction, comprising:
- the backward pointing piercing part ensures that the tile hook hooks firmly into a tile batten.
- the resilient piece is preferably formed by a loop in the wire part forming the body of the device according to the present invention.
- a bend is preferably situated in the wire part at some distance from the piercing part so as to prevent the possibility of the piercing part being pulled out of a tile batten in the case of load.
- the present invention further provides a roof, in addition to a method for arranging a roof covering on a roof construction.
- Roof tiles 1 are laid in overlapping manner on a roof boarding 2 of which tile battens 3 form part.
- a tile hook 5 is arranged over an edge 4 of roof tile 1, for instance round every other roof tile (see also fig. 2 and 3).
- Tile hook 5 is preferably manufactured from wire material preferably of stainless steel (SS) and comprises at a distance from a first outer end 10 a perpendicular bend 11 through roughly 90° (fig. 2, 3), from which position the wire material extends to a second bend 12 of roughly 90°, wherein the distance of the part 13 between bends 11 and 12 roughly corresponds with the width W of the edge of a roof tile 1.
- SS stainless steel
- the wire material extends via a loop 14, which ensures an adequate spring action of tile hook 5, up to a bend 15 with an angle of about 135°, from which position a piece of wire material 16 extends to a piercing part 17 which extends at an acute angle of roughly 30-45° relative to part 16 and which is provided on the outer end with a sharp point which is obtained for instance by cutting the wire material.
- the end 10 of tile hook 5 is arranged manually over an edge of roof tile 1, whereafter the piece of wire material 16 is placed behind tile batten 3. Due to the spring action of tile hook 5 the sharp point of tile hook 5 is attached fixedly in tile batten 3, whereby tile hook 5 remains tightly fixed in tile batten 3 even under load. The spring action of tile hook 5 will moreover compensate possible differences in tile batten thickness.

Abstract
- a hook-shaped part for engaging on an edge of a roof covering element;
- a body part which connects onto the hook part and which is provided with a resilient piece; and
- a fixing part which extends substantially transversely of the body part and which is provided with a backward pointing piercing part for fixing in a component of the roof construction.
Description
- Roof tiles are increasingly being fixed to a roof construction by means of so-called tile hooks in order to prevent the possibility of the tiles being dislodged at strong wind force and causing injury to persons and damage.
- The European patent specification EP-A-0 687 337 describes a tile hook, wherein two tiles are clamped onto each other between a hook-like bend and a shoulder. This known tile hook is needlessly complicated in construction and therefore costly.
- Known from the British patent GB-A-2 101 172 is a tile hook of wire material which is provided on one side with a pin which engages in a tile batten and on the other side with a hook-shaped outer end which engages over an edge of a roof tile. The holding force exerted by this known tile hook, particularly on the underside of a tile batten, is found in practice to be inadequate.
- The present invention has for its object to provide an improved tile hook which is comparatively simple to manufacture at low cost price and which has a sufficient holding force for the roof tiles, for instance more than 150 Newton and preferably more than 200 Newton.
- The present invention provides a device for securing one or more roof covering elements on a roof construction, comprising:
- a hook-shaped part for engaging on an edge of a roof covering element;
- a body part which connects onto the hook part and which is provided with a resilient piece; and
- a fixing part which extends substantially transversely of the body part and which is provided with a backward pointing piercing part for fixing in a component of the roof construction.
- The backward pointing piercing part ensures that the tile hook hooks firmly into a tile batten.
- The resilient piece is preferably formed by a loop in the wire part forming the body of the device according to the present invention.
- A bend is preferably situated in the wire part at some distance from the piercing part so as to prevent the possibility of the piercing part being pulled out of a tile batten in the case of load.
- The present invention further provides a roof, in addition to a method for arranging a roof covering on a roof construction.
- Further advantages, features and details of the present invention will be elucidated on the basis of the following description of a preferred embodiment thereof with reference to the annexed drawings, in which:
- fig. 1 shows a view in perspective of a partly arranged roof which is arranged as according to the present invention;
- fig. 2 is a partly broken-away view of detail II of fig. 1; and
- fig. 3 shows a view in perspective of a preferred embodiment of a device according to the present invention.
-
- Roof tiles 1 are laid in overlapping manner on a roof boarding 2 of which tile battens 3 form part. A
tile hook 5 is arranged over an edge 4 of roof tile 1, for instance round every other roof tile (see also fig. 2 and 3). -
Tile hook 5 is preferably manufactured from wire material preferably of stainless steel (SS) and comprises at a distance from a first outer end 10 a perpendicular bend 11 through roughly 90° (fig. 2, 3), from which position the wire material extends to asecond bend 12 of roughly 90°, wherein the distance of thepart 13 betweenbends 11 and 12 roughly corresponds with the width W of the edge of a roof tile 1. - From
bend 12 the wire material extends via aloop 14, which ensures an adequate spring action oftile hook 5, up to abend 15 with an angle of about 135°, from which position a piece ofwire material 16 extends to apiercing part 17 which extends at an acute angle of roughly 30-45° relative topart 16 and which is provided on the outer end with a sharp point which is obtained for instance by cutting the wire material. Theend 10 oftile hook 5 is arranged manually over an edge of roof tile 1, whereafter the piece ofwire material 16 is placed behind tile batten 3. Due to the spring action oftile hook 5 the sharp point oftile hook 5 is attached fixedly in tile batten 3, wherebytile hook 5 remains tightly fixed in tile batten 3 even under load. The spring action oftile hook 5 will moreover compensate possible differences in tile batten thickness. - The present invention is not limited to the above described preferred embodiment; the rights sought are defined by the following claims, within the scope of which many modifications can be envisaged.
