Abstract

The strip has a rectangular shaped sheet (1) with two parallel metal bands (2, 2') provided on a side of the sheet, where the sheet is made of elastomer i.e. ethylene-propylene terpolymer. The bands are located along opposed edges (3, 3') of the strip. The bands are embedded at a brim of the side of the sheet and in the thickness of the sheet, so that lateral walls of the bands are covered with elastomer and the bands are exposed to a side forming a surface to be glued to the interior of distinct sections to be joined. The bands are integrated to the sheet by vulcanization. The bands have thickness of 100 to 300 micrometers.

Description

L'invention concerne un couvre-joint pour gouttières métalliques, en particulier pour les gouttières de toit.The invention relates to a joint cover for metal gutters, in particular for roof gutters.

Les gouttières de toit sont habituellement composées de sections distinctes de gouttière, qui sont emboîtées les unes dans les autres sur leur face frontale. Ces gouttières sont le plus souvent en zinc, un métal se prêtant bien à cette utilisation de par sa ductilité, sa pérennité en atmosphère extérieure, et son aspect esthétique.The roof gutters are usually composed of separate sections of gutter, which are nested in one another on their front face. These gutters are most often made of zinc, a metal that lends itself well to this use because of its ductility, its durability in an external atmosphere, and its aesthetic appearance.

Afin d'étanchéifier l'ensemble, les sections sont habituellement soudo-brasées au niveau des emboîtements. Cette solution présente l'inconvénient que les pièces ne peuvent plus se déplacer les unes par rapport aux autres. Ceci serait toutefois souhaitable, les gouttières étant soumises à la contraction et à l'expansion thermique entraînant des tensions qui peuvent provoque un gauchissement de l'ensemble formé avec le système de fixation.In order to seal the assembly, the sections are usually brazed at the interlocking. This solution has the disadvantage that the parts can no longer move relative to each other. This would be desirable, however, the gutters being subjected to contraction and thermal expansion causing tensions that can cause warping of the assembly formed with the fastening system.

D'autres solutions ont donc été développées, dans lesquelles les sections sont reliées les unes aux autres de manière étanche, tout en restant suffisamment mobiles pour absorber les mouvements d'origine thermique.Other solutions have therefore been developed, in which the sections are connected to each other in a sealed manner, while remaining sufficiently mobile to absorb the movements of thermal origin.

On a par exemple relié les sections par collage au niveau des emboîtements, en utilisant une colle élastique. Cette technique de liaison possède une longévité limitée du fait que la colle, présente en couche relativement mince, se détériore suite aux forces de cisaillement.For example, the sections have been bonded at the interlocking points using an elastic adhesive. This bonding technique has a limited life because the adhesive, present in a relatively thin layer, deteriorates due to shear forces.

On a également utilisé divers types de manchons étanches couvrants la zone de liaison entre le sections. Ceux-ci sont habituellement placés, au moins partiellement, sous la gouttière. De tels manchons sont dès lors peu esthétiques car visibles d'en bas. Ils nécessitent de plus un montage et un ajustement souvent complexe.Various types of waterproof sleeves covering the connection area between the sections have also been used. These are usually placed, at least partially, under the gutter. Such sleeves are therefore unattractive because visible from below. They also require mounting and often complex adjustment.

Un autre système connu, appelé joint de dilatation VM ZINC®, se compose d'une partie centrale élastique en néoprène, vulcanisée à chaud sur deux bandes de zinc laminées. Sur chantier, les parties métalliques sont soudobrasées au niveau de l'emboîtement des sections de gouttière que l'on désire connecter. Le résultat est esthétique, ces joints étant placés à l'intérieur de la gouttière.Another known system, called the VM ZINC ® expansion joint , consists of a central neoprene elastic core hot-vulcanized on two rolled zinc strips. On site, the metal parts are brazed at the level of the interlocking sections of gutter that we want to connect. The result is aesthetic, these joints being placed inside the gutter.

Un couvre-joint flexible de ce type est décrit dans l'Avis Technique 5/98-1332 du CSTB et présente toutes les caractéristiques du préambule de la revendication 1.A flexible joint cover of this type is described in CSTB Technical Notice 5 / 98-1332 and has all the features of the preamble of claim 1.

Toutefois, une nouvelle tendance se dessine dans l'industrie relative à l'évacuation des eaux pluviales. Ainsi désire-t-on parfois, pour des raisons écologiques, éviter tout risque de contamination des eaux par dissolution de métal, même en quantités infimes. Ce but peut être atteint en utilisant des gouttières en zinc, à condition que le métal soit revêtu d'une couche protectrice imperméable. Il va de soi que cette stricte séparation entre le métal et l'eau doit aussi être préservée au niveau des joints entre les sections de gouttières. Le but de la présente invention est de fournir un couvre-joint répondant à ce dernier critère, tout en étant simple à mettre en oeuvre sur chantier, étanche, esthétique et durable.However, a new trend is emerging in the industry for stormwater evacuation. Thus, for ecological reasons, it is sometimes desired to avoid any risk of contamination of the waters by dissolution of metal, even in minute quantities. This goal can be achieved by using zinc gutters, provided that the metal is coated with a protective layer raincoat. It goes without saying that this strict separation between metal and water must also be preserved at the joints between the sections of gutters. The purpose of the present invention is to provide a seal cover meeting the latter criterion, while being simple to implement on site, waterproof, aesthetic and durable.

L'invention concerne un couvre-joint flexible pour joindre deux sections de gouttière métallique, comprenant une feuille d'élastomère d'allure rectangulaire, munie sur une de ses faces de deux bandes métalliques parallèles, localisées sensiblement le long de bords opposés du couvre-joint, caractérisé en ce que les bandes métalliques sont noyées sensiblement à ras bord de ladite face de la feuille d'élastomère et dans l'épaisseur de cette dernière, de façon que les parois latérales des bandes métalliques soient couvertes d'élastomère et que les bandes métalliques n'exposent qu'une seule face formant une surface destinée à être collée à l'intérieur des sections à joindre.The invention relates to a flexible cover for joining two sections of metal gutter, comprising a rectangular-shaped elastomer sheet, provided on one of its faces with two parallel metal strips, located substantially along opposite edges of the cover. joint, characterized in that the metal strips are embedded substantially at the edge of said face of the elastomer sheet and in the thickness of the latter, so that the side walls of the metal strips are covered with elastomer and that the metal strips expose only one face forming a surface intended to be glued inside the sections to be joined.

Ces bandes métalliques sont utilement solidarisées à la feuille d'élastomère par vulcanisation. Elles seront de préférence en zinc, au quel cas elles auront avantageusement une épaisseur de 100 à 300 µm. L'élastomère sera de préférence de l'EPDM.These metal strips are usefully secured to the elastomer sheet by vulcanization. They will preferably be zinc, in which case they will advantageously have a thickness of 100 to 300 microns. The elastomer will preferably be EPDM.

Une autre mise en oeuvre de l'invention correspond à un produit comme celui décrit ci-dessus, mais présenté sous forme de ruban destiné à être coupé en sections individuelles formant chacune un couvre-joint.Another embodiment of the invention corresponds to a product such as that described above, but presented in the form of ribbon intended to be cut into individual sections each forming a joint cover.

Le système présenté permet d'atteindre deux buts essentiels:

  • Un placement par simple collage grâce à la flexibilité du joint et à la compabibilité des matériaux par rapport aux colles classiques;
  • L'absence de contact possible entre les eaux pluviales et les parties métalliques du couvre-joint.
The presented system achieves two essential goals:
  • Placement by simple bonding thanks to the flexibility of the joint and the compabibility of materials compared to conventional glues;
  • The lack of possible contact between the rainwater and the metal parts of the joint cover.

Le joint selon l'invention permet un collage simple et efficace du couvre-joint sur l'intérieur des gouttières métalliques, ceci grâce à l'entremise d'une couche métallique préalablement solidarisée au matériau élastomère. Cette couche métallique est primordiale, car elle permet d'éviter la réalisation d'un collage 'métal sur élastomère' sur chantier. Un tel collage serait en effet difficile à réaliser correctement car il demanderait des conditions opératoires précises (propreté des surfaces, température, humidité, mise sous contrainte) et l'utilisation de produits spéciaux (agents de vulcanisation). Ce problème est évité en utilisant un couvre-joint muni de bandes métalliques, celles-ci étant solidarisées au matériau élastomère en usine dans des conditions industrielles optimales. Notons que le collage 'métal sur métal' à réaliser sur chantier lors de la pose du couvre-joint dans une gouttière ne pose quant à lui pas de problème particulier. Il peut en effet être réalisé par des moyens simples et connus, tels que des colles de contact, et ne requière ni procédures ni connaissances particulières.The joint according to the invention allows a simple and effective bonding of the joint cover on the inside of metal gutters, this through the intermediary of a metal layer previously secured to the elastomeric material. This metal layer is essential because it avoids the realization of a bonding 'metal on elastomer' on site. Such a bonding would indeed be difficult to achieve correctly because it would require precise operating conditions (cleanliness of the surfaces, temperature, humidity, placing under stress) and the use of special products (vulcanizing agents). This problem is avoided by using a joint with metal strips, which are secured to the elastomeric material in the factory under optimal industrial conditions. Note that the bonding 'metal on metal' to be made on site when laying the joint in a gutter does not pose any particular problem. It can indeed be achieved by simple means and known, such as contact adhesives, and does not require any particular procedures or knowledge.

La largeur du couvre-joint permettra l'utilisation de bandes métalliques de largeur suffisante pour un encollage facile, placées sensiblement le long de bords opposés de la feuille d'élastomère. La disposition exacte de ces bandes sera telle que l'élastomère noie les bandes métalliques sur toute leur périphérie tout en laissant leur surface métallique apparente. La partie centrale du couvre-joint, libre de métal, jouera le rôle de zone de déformation lors des mouvements d'origine thermique des sections de gouttière.The width of the cover will allow the use of metal strips of sufficient width for easy gluing, placed substantially along opposite edges of the elastomeric sheet. The exact arrangement of these strips will be such that the elastomer drowns the metal strips over their entire periphery while leaving their metal surface apparent. The central part of the metal-free joint cover will act as a deformation zone during the thermal movements of the gutter sections.

Chaque bande métallique aura de préférence une largeur de 5 à 50 mm; la zone de déformation fera de préférence 20 à 200 mm. La longueur du couvre-joint sera telle qu'il puisse couvrir la fente entre deux sections sur toute la périphérie frontale de la gouttière. Par exemple, pour une gouttière semi-circulaire d'un diamètre de 150 mm, la longueur sera d'environ 235 mm.Each metal strip will preferably have a width of 5 to 50 mm; the deformation zone will preferably be 20 to 200 mm. The length of the joint cover will be such that it can cover the gap between two sections over the entire front periphery of the gutter. For example, for a semi-circular gutter with a diameter of 150 mm, the length will be about 235 mm.

L'EPDM (Terpolymère Ethylène Propylène) est un matériau de choix pour cette application car il possède une bonne élasticité ainsi qu'une excellente tenue en température et au rayonnement solaire.EPDM (Ethylene Propylene Terpolymer) is a material of choice for this application because it has a good elasticity as well as an excellent resistance to temperature and solar radiation.

Les gouttières métalliques étant le plus souvent réalisées à base de zinc, il est avantageux de choisir un métal compatible, tel que le zinc lui-même, pour les bandes métalliques. D'autres métaux, tel l'aluminium, pourraient aussi très bien convenir. Notons que les bandes métalliques pourraient avantageusement être en cuivre dans le cas ou les gouttières elles-mêmes seraient à base de ce métal.Since metal gutters are most often made of zinc, it is advantageous to choose a compatible metal, such as zinc itself, for metal strips. Other metals, such as aluminum, could also be very suitable. Note that the metal strips could advantageously be copper in the case where the gutters themselves would be based on this metal.

L'épaisseur des bandes métalliques ainsi que le type métal sont choisis de façon à donner au couvre-joint une certaine flexibilité, assurant une mise en forme facile et un maintien suffisant pendant le collage sur l'intérieur d'une gouttière. Une épaisseur trop faible entraînerait un risque de déchirement. Pour le zinc, une épaisseur de 100 à 300 µm s'avère idéale.The thickness of the metal strips and the metal type are chosen so as to give the joint cover a certain flexibility, ensuring easy shaping and sufficient holding during bonding on the inside of a gutter. Too low a thickness would cause a risk of tearing. For zinc, a thickness of 100 to 300 μm is ideal.

La caractéristique essentielle consistant à noyer les bandes métalliques dans le matériau élastomère de façon à n'exposer qu'une seule face, présente plusieurs avantages. Elle permet d'abord de préserver au maximum les bandes métalliques de toute corrosion susceptible de s'installer dans les fentes et les interstices métalliques. De plus, en combinaison avec l'utilisation de gouttières recouvertes d'une couche de protection, elle permet d'éviter tout risque de contamination de l'eau pluviale par des métaux.The essential feature of embedding the metal strips in the elastomeric material to expose only one face has several advantages. Firstly, it makes it possible to preserve the metal strips as much as possible from any corrosion likely to settle in the slots and the metal interstices. In addition, in combination with the use of gutters covered with a protective layer, it avoids any risk of contamination of rainwater by metals.

La Figure 1 montre un exemple de réalisation pratique.The Figure 1 shows an example of practical realization.

On y voit un couvre-joint formé par une feuille rectangulaire en EPDM (1), d'une longueur de 235 mm, d'une largeur de 150 mm et d'une épaisseur de 1.5 mm. Ce rectangle est muni de deux bandes (2,2') en zinc, d'une largeur de 30 mm et d'une épaisseur de 150 µ, noyées à environ 10 mm de chaque bord (3, 3'). La zone non couverte de zinc (4) a ici une largeur de 70 mm, une largeur jugée suffisante pour permettre l'ajustement en fonction des conditions thermiques.It shows a cover formed by a rectangular sheet of EPDM (1), a length of 235 mm, a width of 150 mm and a thickness of 1.5 mm. This rectangle is provided with two strips (2,2 ') of zinc, with a width of 30 mm and a thickness of 150 μ, embedded about 10 mm from each edge (3, 3'). The zone not covered with zinc (4) here has a width of 70 mm, a width deemed sufficient to allow adjustment depending on the thermal conditions.

Lors de la pose, les faces apparentes des bandes métalliques du couvre-joint sont encollées, par exemple avec une colle au néoprène, et le couvre-joint est ensuite appliqué au niveau de l'emboîtement des sections de gouttière.When laying, the exposed faces of the metal strips of the joint cover are glued, for example with a neoprene glue, and the joint cover is then applied at the interlocking gutter sections.
