Description

La présente invention concerne un dispositif de couverture d'un bâtiment destiné à reposer sur une charpente et comportant des tuiles. Cette invention a, encore, trait à une tuile de dispositif de couverture d'un bâtiment.The present invention relates to a covering device of a building intended to rest on a frame and having tiles. This invention, again, relates to a tile covering device of a building.

Cette invention concerne le domaine de la fabrication des dispositifs conçus pour assurer la couverture d'un bâtiment, plus particulièrement celui de la fabrication de dispositifs conçus pour assurer la couverture d'une charpente que comporte un tel bâtiment.This invention relates to the field of the manufacture of devices designed to provide coverage of a building, particularly that of the manufacture of devices designed to ensure the coverage of a framework that includes such a building.

L'on connaît, d'ores et déjà, de tels dispositifs de couverture de bâtiment usuellement constitués par un toit comportant une pluralité de tuiles, accrochées sur une charpente, et au moins en partie emboîtées les unes avec les autres.Already known, such building cover devices usually consist of a roof comprising a plurality of tiles, attached to a frame, and at least partly nested with each other.

A ce propos, on observera qu'une telle charpente comporte, usuellement, des fermettes ainsi que des chevrons horizontaux fixés sur de telles fermettes. Cette charpente comporte, alors, également, des liteaux (contre-lattes), s'étendant dans le sens de la pente du toit et fixés sur les chevrons, ainsi qu'un film d'étanchéité interposé entre ces liteaux et ces chevrons. Finalement, cette charpente comporte des liteaux horizontaux (lattes), fixés sur les liteaux s'étendant selon la pente du toit, et sur lesquels sont accrochés les tuiles. Une telle charpente comporte un nombre important de pièces qu'il convient de transporter, de manutentionner et d'assembler de sorte que la réalisation d'une telle charpente s'avère être une opération longue et fastidieuse.In this regard, it will be observed that such a frame usually comprises small trusses and horizontal rafters fixed on such trusses. This frame then also includes battens (counter battens), extending in the direction of the slope of the roof and fixed on the rafters, and a sealing film interposed between these battens and these rafters. Finally, this frame has horizontal battens (slats), fixed on the battens extending along the slope of the roof, and on which are hung the tiles. Such a framework comprises a large number of parts that should be transported, handled and assembled so that the realization of such a framework proves to be a long and tedious operation.

De plus, les tuiles qui reposent sur une telle charpente, d'une part, sont accrochées sur des liteaux horizontaux par des tenons que comporte une partie arrière d'une telle tuile et, d'autre part, reposent sur au moins une tuile inférieure par une partie avant que comporte une telle tuile.In addition, the tiles that rest on such a frame, on the one hand, are hung on horizontal battens by tenons that has a rear portion of such a tile and, on the other hand, rest on at least one lower tile by a front part that includes such a tile.

Le fait de reposer sur une autre tuile présente l'inconvénient de conférer, obligatoirement, au toit une allure d'escalier horizontal s'étendant sur toute la largeur du toit et qui n'est pas forcément souhaitable.The fact of resting on another tile has the disadvantage of conferring, necessarily, to the roof a staircase of horizontal staircase extending over the entire width of the roof and which is not necessarily desirable.

De plus, le fait de reposer sur une autre tuile présente l'inconvénient de devoir positionner les tuiles du toit avec un angle d'inclinaison minimal (généralement 20 degrés, voire beaucoup plus selon les préconisations des fabricants de tuiles et/ou pour tenir compte de l'effet du vent) faute de quoi l'eau de pluie pénètre entre les tuiles superposées et s'écoule à l'intérieur du bâtiment créant, ainsi, des infiltrations d'eau. Il n'est, donc, pas possible de réaliser un toit qui présente une faible pente, typiquement dont l'angle est inférieur à 10 degrés.In addition, the fact of resting on another tile has the disadvantage of having to position the roof tiles with a minimum angle of inclination (generally 20 degrees, or much more according to the recommendations of the tile manufacturers and / or to take into account the effect of the wind) otherwise the rainwater penetrates between the overlapping tiles and flows inside the building creating, thus, infiltrations of water. It is, therefore, not possible to make a roof that has a low slope, typically whose angle is less than 10 degrees.

En outre, on observera que les tuiles sont en appui, d'une part, sur un liteau en partie arrière d'une telle tuile et, d'autre part, sur au moins une tuile inférieure en partie avant d'une telle tuile. Un défaut de rectitude du liteau sur lequel est accrochée une telle tuile et/ou une irrégularité de cette tuile ou d'une tuile inférieure conduisent à une instabilité d'une telle tuile qui est préjudiciable aux caractéristiques mécaniques (plus particulièrement à la résistance mécanique) du toit ce qui risque de mettre en péril un couvreur intervenant sur ce toit.In addition, it will be observed that the tiles are supported, on the one hand, on a batten in the rear part of such a tile and, on the other hand, on at least one lower tile in front of such a tile. A defect of straightness of the batten on which is attached such a tile and / or an irregularity of this tile or of a lower tile lead to an instability of such a tile which is detrimental to the mechanical characteristics (more particularly to the mechanical resistance) of the roof which could put at risk a roofer intervening on this roof.

Finalement, pour permettre l'écoulement de l'eau, les tuiles comportent, en partie arrière et latéralement, des portions de tuiles destinées à être recouvertes par des portions de recouvrement que comportent des tuiles adjacentes. La présence de ces portions à recouvrir réduit substantiellement la surface utile d'une telle tuile destinée à assurer la couverture d'une charpente, ceci par rapport à la surface totale d'une telle tuile. Aussi et selon un autre inconvénient d'une telle tuile, les portions à recouvrir de cette tuile représentent une proportion importante de la matière première employée pour fabriquer une telle tuile, à cuire, à sécher, à transporter, à manipuler, ceci sans que ces portions à recouvrir n'apportent de contribution à la fonction principale de la tuile consistant à couvrir une charpente.Finally, to allow the flow of water, the tiles have, at the rear and laterally, portions of tiles intended to be covered by overlapping portions that comprise adjacent tiles. The presence of these portions to be covered substantially reduces the effective area of such a tile intended to ensure the coverage of a frame, this compared to the total surface of such a tile. Also and according to another disadvantage of such a tile, the portions to be covered with this tile represent a significant proportion of the raw material used to manufacture such a tile, to cook, to dry, to transport, to handle, this without these portions to be covered do not contribution to the main function of the tile consisting of covering a frame.

Un dispositif de couverture correspondant aux caractéristiques techniques du préambule de la revendication 1 est décrit dans GB 2314356 A .A covering device corresponding to the technical features of the preamble of claim 1 is described in GB 2314356 A .

La présente invention se veut de remédier aux inconvénients des dispositifs de couverture et des tuiles de l'état de la technique.The present invention aims to overcome the disadvantages of roofing devices and tiles of the state of the art.

A cet effet, la présente invention concerne un dispositif de couverture d'un bâtiment destiné à reposer sur une charpente et comportant une pluralité de tuiles.To this end, the present invention relates to a covering device of a building intended to rest on a frame and comprising a plurality of tiles.

Ce dispositif de couverture est caractérisé par les caractéristiques de la revendication 1.This covering device is characterized by the features of claim 1.

Une autre caractéristique consiste en ce que le profilé de montage adopte la forme d'un rail, notamment métallique, comportant une embase ainsi que deux ailes, voire encore deux retours.Another feature is that the mounting profile takes the form of a rail, including metal, having a base and two wings, or even two returns.

Selon une caractéristique additionnelle, le moyen pour recevoir au moins un profilé de montage et/ou le moyen pour recevoir les moyens pour fixer une tuile sur un profilé de montage comportent un logement, à l'intérieur duquel se logent au moins une partie du profilé ou au moins une partie des moyens pour fixer, qui s'étend sur au moins une partie de la longueur de la tuile, ceci de manière longitudinale et à proximité d'un bord longitudinal de la tuile.According to an additional characteristic, the means for receiving at least one mounting profile and / or the means for receiving the means for fixing a tile on a mounting profile comprise a housing, inside which at least part of the profile is housed. or at least a part of the fastening means, which extends over at least a portion of the length of the tile, longitudinally and near a longitudinal edge of the tile.

L'invention concerne, également, une tuile de dispositif de couverture d'un bâtiment destiné à reposer sur une charpente, notamment pour un dispositif de couverture présentant les caractéristiques mentionnées ci-dessus. Cette tuile est caractérisée par les caractéristiques de la revendication 10.The invention also relates to a roofing tile of a building intended to rest on a frame, in particular for a covering device having the characteristics mentioned above. This tile is characterized by the features of claim 10.

Une caractéristique additionnelle consiste en ce que la tuile présente une face supérieure comportant au moins une portion, soit s'étendant de manière parallèle par rapport à un plan général d'extension de la tuile, soit présentant une inclinaison par rapport à ce plan et s'étendant, selon le cas, de manière longitudinale ou transversale par rapport à la tuile.An additional feature is that the tile has an upper face having at least one portion, or extending parallel to a general plane of extension of the tile, or having an inclination with respect to this plane and extending, as the case may be, longitudinally or transversely to the tile.

Ainsi, le dispositif de couverture selon l'invention comporte un profilé de montage, destiné à être fixé sur la charpente (plus particulièrement directement sur les chevrons et/ou sur les liteaux que comporte une telle charpente), s'étendant dans le sens de la pente et parallèlement au plan du toit et au plan de la charpente. La présence d'un tel profilé de montage permet d'éviter l'utilisation de liteaux horizontaux et de liteaux s'étendant dans le sens de la pente ce qui permet, avantageusement, de faciliter la réalisation d'une charpente. De plus, le profilé de montage est constitué par un rail à l'intérieur duquel s'écoule l'eau de pluie et par lequel cette eau de pluie est évacuée du toit.Thus, the covering device according to the invention comprises a mounting profile, intended to be fixed on the frame (more particularly directly on the rafters and / or on the battens that includes such a frame), extending in the direction of the slope and parallel to the roof plan and the plan of the frame. The presence of such a mounting profile avoids the use of horizontal battens and slats extending in the direction of the slope which advantageously facilitates the realization of a frame. In addition, the mounting profile is constituted by a rail with inside which flows the rainwater and through which this rainwater is removed from the roof.

Un autre avantage lié à la présence d'un tel profilé de montage consiste en ce que ce profilé de montage constitue une ligne continue et directe entre le haut et le bas du toit ce qui permet d'améliorer, de manière significative, l'écoulement de l'eau entre le haut et le bas de toit et, par conséquent, l'étanchéité globale du toit, ceci par rapport aux tuiles de l'état de la technique, qui sont montées l'une par dessus l'autre dans le sens de la hauteur, et qui font que l'eau s'écoule, du haut vers le bas du toit, en cascade et en passant d'un écoulement de la tuile du haut vers un écoulement de la tuile du bas.Another advantage related to the presence of such a mounting profile is that this mounting profile is a continuous and direct line between the top and bottom of the roof which allows to significantly improve the flow water between the top and the bottom of the roof and, consequently, the overall waterproofness of the roof, this compared to the tiles of the state of the art, which are mounted on top of one another in the sense of height, and that water flows from top to bottom of the roof, cascading and passing from a top tile flow to a bottom tile flow.

La tuile d'un dispositif de couverture de l'invention présente une face supérieure comportant au moins une portion s'étendant de manière parallèle par rapport au plan général d'extension de la tuile ce qui permet, avantageusement, de positionner la face supérieure d'une telle tuile dans le prolongement de la face supérieure d'une tuile adjacente et d'une tuile juxtaposée, ceci pour la réalisation d'un toit présentant une surface plane et dépourvu d'escaliers (contrairement aux toits de l'état de la technique).The tile of a covering device of the invention has an upper face having at least one portion extending parallel to the general plane of extension of the tile, which advantageously allows the upper face of the tile to be positioned. such a tile in the extension of the upper face of an adjacent tile and a tile juxtaposed, this for the realization of a roof having a flat surface and devoid of stairs (unlike the roofs of the state of the technical).

En ce qui concerne le moyen pour recevoir au moins un profilé de montage et que comporte une tuile, celui-ci comporte un logement à l'intérieur duquel se loge au moins une partie du profilé de montage, plus particulièrement une aile ou un retour que comporte ce profilé. Ce moyen pour recevoir permet, alors avantageusement, de positionner la tuile par rapport au profilé de montage, ceci de manière simple et automatique.Regarding the means for receiving at least one mounting profile and that comprises a tile, it comprises a housing inside which is housed at least a portion of the mounting profile, more particularly a wing or a return that includes this profile. This means for receiving allows, then advantageously, to position the tile relative to the mounting profile, this simply and automatically.

De plus, le moyen pour recevoir au moins un profilé de montage comporte un logement qui s'étend à proximité d'un bord longitudinal de la tuile qui se positionne, alors, au dessus du rail du profilé de montage. En outre, les tuiles comportent, à proximité d'un bord transversal et/ou au niveau d'une bordure transversale, un moyen, s'étendant de manière transversale à la tuile et en direction d'au moins un bord longitudinal de la tuile, et conçu pour assurer l'écoulement de l'eau en direction d'un tel bord longitudinal. Il en résulte que l'eau de pluie, qui ruisselle sur une tuile, s'écoule ensuite en direction d'un bord longitudinal de la tuile par le moyen pour assurer l'écoulement, ceci avant de s'écouler à l'intérieur d'un rail du profilé de montage. Cette conception permet, avantageusement, d'éviter les importantes portions de recouvrement que comportent les tuiles de l'état de la technique et, ainsi, d'augmenter de manière notable la surface utile d'une tuile pour couvrir une charpente, ceci par rapport à la surface totale d'une telle tuile et par rapport aux tuiles de l'état de la technique.In addition, the means for receiving at least one mounting profile comprises a housing which extends near a longitudinal edge of the tile which is positioned, then, above the rail of the mounting profile. In addition, the tiles comprise, in the vicinity of a transverse edge and / or at a transverse border, means extending transversely to the tile and towards at least one longitudinal edge of the tile. tile, and designed to ensure the flow of water towards such a longitudinal edge. As a result, the rainwater, which flows on a tile, then flows towards a longitudinal edge of the tile by the means to ensure flow, before flowing into the interior of the tile. a rail of the mounting profile. This design makes it possible, advantageously, to avoid the large portions of overlap that the tiles of the state of the art comprise and, thus, to significantly increase the useful surface of a tile to cover a frame, in relation to to the total surface of such a tile and compared to tiles of the state of the art.

Aussi et par rapport à une surface déterminée d'un toit, l'invention permet, avantageusement, un gain substantiel de matière première (de plus de 30%), une réduction du temps et de la quantité d'énergie pour la fabrication des tuiles de cette surface de toit, un allègement de la charge transportée, manutentionnée, et supportée par la charpente, ceci par rapport aux tuiles de l'état de la technique.Also and with respect to a given surface of a roof, the invention advantageously allows a substantial gain in raw material (by more than 30%), a reduction in the time and quantity of energy for the manufacture of tiles of this roof surface, a lightening of the load transported, handled, and supported by the frame, this compared to the tiles of the state of the art.

Cette invention permet, également et pour une même surface de toit, une réduction du nombre de tuiles par rapport au nombre de tuiles de l'état de la technique, ceci pour des tuiles (selon l'invention et selon l'état de la technique) d'un poids sensiblement égal et/ou d'une dimension hors tout sensiblement identique. En particulier, lorsque, pour une même surface de toit d'un mètre carré, ce toit nécessite plus de dix tuiles de l'état de la technique, ce même toit nécessite moins de sept tuiles conformes à l'invention.This invention allows, also and for the same roof surface, a reduction in the number of tiles compared to the number of tiles of the state of the art, this for tiles (according to the invention and according to the state of the art ) of substantially equal weight and / or a substantially identical overall size. In particular, when, for the same roof area of one square meter, this roof requires more than ten tiles of the state of the art, this same roof requires less than seven tiles according to the invention.

Ainsi, pour une même surface de toit, le nombre et/ou le poids des tuiles sont réduits de plus de 30% et le couvreur manutentionne alors également plus de 30% de tuiles et/ou de poids de tuiles en moins, ceci par rapport aux tuiles de l'état de la technique.Thus, for the same roof surface, the number and / or the weight of the tiles are reduced by more than 30% and the roofer also handles more than 30% of tiles and / or less tile weight, this compared to to the tiles of the state of the art.

En particulier, l'invention permet d'éviter les portions de recouvrement en partie avant (nez) d'une telle tuile ce qui permet, avantageusement, d'envisager un aspect de toit autre que celui d'un escalier, notamment un toit s'étendant dans un plan. Ceci permet, également, d'abaisser notablement l'angle d'inclinaison minimal des tuiles (en pratique en dessous de 5 degrés) par rapport à celui des tuiles de l'état de la technique, ceci pour l'obtention d'un toit avec une pente très faible, correspondant sensiblement à celle d'un toit terrasse, d'un toit d'immeuble, d'une toiture industrielle ou analogue.In particular, the invention makes it possible to avoid the overlapping portions in the front part (nose) of such a tile, which advantageously makes it possible to envisage a roof aspect other than that of a staircase, in particular a roof. extending in a plane. This also makes it possible to significantly lower the minimum angle of inclination of the tiles (practically below 5 degrees) compared to that of the tiles of the state of the art, this for obtaining a roof with a very low slope, corresponding substantially to that of a roof terrace, a roof of a building, an industrial roof or the like.

De plus et à l'inverse, l'invention permet, avantageusement, d'envisager la fixation, sur des profilés de montage s'étendant de manière verticale, de tuiles s'étendant également de manière verticale, ceci pour la réalisation d'un bardage.Moreover and conversely, the invention advantageously makes it possible to envisage the fixing, on vertically extending mounting profiles, of tiles also extending vertically, this for the realization of a siding.

Tel que mentionné ci-dessus, les tuiles reposent sur au moins un profilé de montage et comportent au moins un moyen pour recevoir au moins un tel profilé de montage. Ce moyen se présente comme un logement sous forme d'une rainure à l'intérieur duquel se loge au moins une partie de ce profilé. Ainsi, les tuiles reposent sur au moins un profilé de montage, ceci au travers d'une pluralité de points d'appui, voire sur au moins une ligne d'appui, ce qui améliore la stabilité ainsi que les caractéristiques mécaniques d'une telle tuile.As mentioned above, the tiles rest on at least one mounting profile and comprise at least one means for receiving at least one such mounting profile. This means is a housing in the form of a groove inside which is housed at least a portion of this section. Thus, the tiles rest on at least one mounting profile, this through a plurality of support points, or even on at least one support line, which improves the stability as well as the mechanical characteristics of such tile.

Finalement, en positionnant des tuiles par-dessus des profilés de montage (eux-mêmes positionnés par-dessus la charpente) s'étendant entre le bas et le haut de la charpente, on permet à l'air de s'engouffrer sous les tuiles et de circuler entre le bas et le haut de la charpente, jusqu'au faîtage. Ceci permet, avantageusement, de créer une ventilation naturelle et performante entre le bas et le haut de la charpente, mais également d'éviter l'utilisation d'accessoires coûteux (tels que des chatières ou des tuiles aération basse) pour la réalisation d'une telle ventilation.Finally, by positioning tiles over mounting profiles (themselves positioned over the frame) extending between the bottom and top of the frame, air is allowed to rush under the tiles and to circulate between the bottom and the top of the frame, until the ridge. This allows, advantageously, to create a natural and efficient ventilation between the bottom and the top of the frame, but also to avoid the use of expensive accessories (such as doors or low ventilation tiles) for the realization of such a breakdown.

La présente invention concerne le domaine de la fabrication des dispositifs conçus pour assurer la couverture d'un bâtiment, plus particulièrement celui de la fabrication des dispositifs, conçus pour assurer la couverture d'une charpente que comporte un tel bâtiment, et destinés à venir reposer sur une telle charpente.The present invention relates to the field of the manufacture of devices designed to ensure the coverage of a building, particularly that of the manufacture of devices, designed to ensure the coverage of a framework that includes such a building, and intended to come to rest on such a frame.

En fait, un tel dispositif de couverture 1 comporte, usuellement, une pluralité de tuiles 2 destinées à venir reposer, directement ou indirectement, sur la charpente que comporte un bâtiment.In fact, such a cover device 1 usually comprises a plurality of tiles 2 intended to rest, directly or indirectly, on the frame that includes a building.

Une telle tuile 2 comporte, usuellement, une face supérieure 20 visible de l'extérieur du bâtiment et une face inférieure 21 orientée en direction de la charpente.Such a tile 2 comprises, usually, an upper face 20 visible from the outside of the building and a lower face 21 oriented towards the frame.

Une telle tuile 2 comporte, également, deux bords longitudinaux 22 ainsi que deux bordures longitudinales 23 chacune délimitée par un bord longitudinal 22.Such a tile 2 also comprises two longitudinal edges 22 and two longitudinal edges 23 each delimited by a longitudinal edge 22.

De plus, une telle tuile 2 comporte deux bords transversaux 24 dont un bord transversal avant (ou inférieur ou aval) et un bord transversal arrière (ou supérieur ou amont). Cette tuile 2 comporte, alors, aussi, deux bordures transversales 25, chacune délimitée par un bord transversal 24, dont, en particulier, une bordure transversale avant (ou inférieure, ou aval, usuellement dénommée nez) et une bordure transversale arrière (ou supérieure, ou amont, usuellement dénommée talon).In addition, such a tile 2 has two transverse edges 24 including a front transverse edge (or lower or downstream) and a rear transverse edge (or upper or upstream). This tile 2 comprises, then, also, two transverse edges 25, each delimited by a transverse edge 24, including, in particular, a transverse front (or bottom, or downstream, usually referred to as nose) and a rear transverse border (or greater , or upstream, usually called heel).

Selon l'invention, le dispositif de couverture 1 comporte au moins un profilé de montage 3.According to the invention, the covering device 1 comprises at least one mounting profile 3.

Un tel profilé de montage 3 est destiné à être fixé sur la charpente, plus particulièrement sur au moins un chevron et/ou sur au moins un liteau que comporte cette charpente. En fait, un tel profilé de montage 3 est fixé sur cette charpente en sorte de s'étendre dans le sens de la pente de cette charpente et parallèlement au plan du toit et au plan de cette charpente, c'est dire de manière inclinée par rapport à l'horizontale.Such a mounting profile 3 is intended to be fixed on the frame, more particularly on at least one chevron and / or on at least one batten that comprises this frame. In fact, such a mounting profile 3 is fixed on this frame so as to extend in the direction of the slope of this frame and parallel to the roof plane and the plane of the frame, it is said in an inclined manner by report horizontally.

En fait, un tel profilé de montage 3 est fixé sur la charpente, de préférence de manière étanche, et à l'aide d'organes de fixation (plus particulièrement sous forme de clips, de clous, de vis ou autres) de type étanche ou complétés par un moyen pour rendre la fixation étanche.In fact, such a mounting profile 3 is fixed to the frame, preferably in a sealed manner, and with the aid of fasteners (particularly in the form of clips, nails, screws or other) of waterproof type or supplemented by means for making the fastener watertight.

Entre cette charpente et un tel profilé de montage 3, on peut interposer un film d'étanchéité.Between this frame and such a mounting profile 3, it is possible to interpose a sealing film.

Tel que visible sur les figures en annexe, un tel profilé de montage 3 comporte, d'une part, une embase 30 destinée à être fixée sur la charpente (de la manière décrite ci-dessus), plus particulièrement sur au moins un chevron et/ou sur au moins un liteau que comporte cette charpente. A ce propos, on observera qu'une telle embase 30 est, en fait, destinée à être fixée par-dessus au moins un chevron et/ou par-dessus au moins un liteau que comporte cette charpente, plus particulièrement sur la face supérieure d'un tel chevron et/ou d'un tel liteau.As can be seen in the appended figures, such a mounting profile 3 comprises, on the one hand, a base 30 intended to be fixed on the framework (in the manner described above), more particularly on at least one chevron and or on at least one batten that comprises this frame. In this regard, it will be observed that such a base 30 is, in fact, intended to be fixed over at least one chevron and / or over at least one batten that includes this frame, more particularly on the upper face of such a chevron and / or such a batten.

La fixation de l'embase 30 sur la charpente peut, alors, être réalisée par clipsage, clouage, vissage ou autre, plus particulièrement de manière étanche, ceci comme mentionné ci-dessus.Fixing the base 30 on the frame can, then, be made by clipping, nailing, screwing or otherwise, more particularly in a sealed manner, as mentioned above.

Selon une autre caractéristique, cette embase 30 est destinée à s'étendre dans le sens de la pente de la charpente et parallèlement au plan du toit et au plan de cette charpente.According to another characteristic, this base 30 is intended to extend in the direction of the slope of the frame and parallel to the roof plane and the plane of this frame.

D'autre part, le profilé de montage 3 comporte au moins une aile 31 s'étendant, à partir de ladite embase 30, de manière longitudinale par rapport à cette embase 30, et en formant un angle avec cette embase 30.On the other hand, the mounting profile 3 comprises at least one flange 31 extending, from said base 30, longitudinally with respect to this base 30, and forming an angle with this base 30.

En fait, une telle aile 31 forme un angle sensiblement droit, soit avec ladite embase 30 lorsque celle-ci est plane, soit avec le fond (destiné à être fixé sur la charpente) d'une telle embase 30 lorsque celle-ci adopte une section trapézoïdale.In fact, such a flange 31 forms a substantially straight angle, either with said base 30 when it is flat, or with the bottom (intended to be fixed on the frame) of such a base 30 when it adopts a trapezoidal section.

Une telle aile 31 est destinée à s'étendre de manière verticale et perpendiculairement au plan du toit et au plan de la charpente.Such a wing 31 is intended to extend vertically and perpendicularly to the roof plane and to the plane of the frame.

En fait, une telle aile 31 s'étend dans le prolongement de l'embase 30 (notamment dans le prolongement d'une extrémité longitudinale que comporte cette embase 30) et/ou latéralement par rapport à l'embase 30 (notamment latéralement par rapport à une extrémité longitudinale que comporte cette embase 30).In fact, such a wing 31 extends in the extension of the base 30 (in particular in the extension of a longitudinal end that this base 30 comprises) and / or laterally relative to the base 30 (particularly laterally relative to at a longitudinal end that includes this base 30).

Selon un mode de réalisation préféré de l'invention, ce profilé de montage 3 comporte, en fait, deux ailes 31 s'étendant, à partir de ladite embase 30, de manière longitudinale par rapport à cette embase 30, de part et d'autre de cette embase 30, et en formant un angle (tel que mentionné ci-dessus) avec cette embase 30.According to a preferred embodiment of the invention, this mounting profile 3 comprises, in fact, two wings 31 extending, from said base 30, so that longitudinal relative to this base 30, on either side of this base 30, and forming an angle (as mentioned above) with this base 30.

Ces deux ailes 31 sont sensiblement parallèles et confèrent au profilé de montage 3 une section sensiblement en « U » et une forme de rail, de fourreau, de fourrure ou analogue.These two wings 31 are substantially parallel and give the mounting profile 3 a substantially U-shaped section and a shape of rail, sheath, fur or the like.

Ces deux ailes 31 sont destinées à s'étendre de manière verticale et perpendiculairement au plan du toit et au plan de la charpente.These two wings 31 are intended to extend vertically and perpendicularly to the roof plane and the plane of the frame.

C'est, plus particulièrement, par-dessus une telle aile 31 que vient reposer au moins une tuile 2, voire une pluralité de tuiles adjacentes 2 (c'est-à-dire l'une située en amont ou en aval d'une autre, ceci selon la pente du toit), que comporte le dispositif de couverture 1.It is, more particularly, over such a wing 31 that comes to rest at least one tile 2, or even a plurality of adjacent tiles 2 (that is to say one located upstream or downstream of a other, this according to the slope of the roof), that includes the cover device 1.

Tel que visible sur les figures en annexe, le dispositif de couverture 1 comporte, également, au moins deux tuiles juxtaposées 2 (c'est-à-dire l'une située à côté d'une autre, ceci selon une ligne horizontale) qui viennent reposer sur un même profilé de montage 3.As can be seen in the appended figures, the covering device 1 also comprises at least two juxtaposed tiles 2 (that is to say one located next to another, along a horizontal line) which come to rest on the same mounting profile 3.

A ce propos, on observera que le profilé de montage 3 comporte, alors et de préférence, deux ailes parallèles 31 et qu'une bordure longitudinale 23 de chacune des tuiles 2 juxtaposée vient, alors, reposer sur une aile 31 que comporte ce profilé de montage 3.In this regard, it will be observed that the mounting profile 3 comprises, then and preferably, two parallel wings 31 and a longitudinal edge 23 of each of the tiles 2 juxtaposed comes, then, rest on a wing 31 that includes this profile of assembly 3.

Cependant et selon un mode de réalisation préféré de l'invention, le profilé de montage 3 comporte, encore, au moins un retour 32 s'étendant, à partir d'une aile 31, de manière longitudinale par rapport à cette aile 31, et en formant un angle (de préférence un angle droit) avec cette aile 31.However, according to a preferred embodiment of the invention, the mounting profile 3 further comprises at least one return 32 extending, from a wing 31, longitudinally with respect to this wing 31, and forming an angle (preferably a right angle) with this wing 31.

En fait, un tel retour 32 s'étend dans le prolongement de l'aile 31 (notamment dans le prolongement d'une extrémité longitudinale que comporte cette aile 31) et/ou latéralement par rapport à l'aile 31 (notamment latéralement par rapport à une extrémité longitudinale que comporte cette aile 31).In fact, such a return 32 extends in the extension of the wing 31 (in particular in the extension of a longitudinal end that this wing 31 comprises) and / or laterally with respect to the wing 31 (particularly laterally relative to at a longitudinal end that includes this wing 31).

Tel que visible sur les figures en annexe, un tel retour 32 s'étend de manière parallèle à l'embase 30 et par-dessus cette embase 30.As can be seen in the appended figures, such a return 32 extends parallel to the base 30 and over this base 30.

Bien entendu, lorsque le profilé de montage 3 comporte deux ailes 31, l'une au moins de ces ailes (de préférence les deux ailes) comporte, alors, un tel retour 22.Of course, when the mounting profile 3 comprises two wings 31, at least one of these wings (preferably both wings) comprises, then, such a return 22.

Aussi et selon un mode préféré de réalisation, le profilé de montage 3 comporte deux ailes parallèles 31 ainsi que deux retours 32 s'étendant, chacun, à partir d'une aile 31 de ce profilé de montage 3, en direction l'un de l'autre, et parallèlement à l'embase 30 du profilé de montage 3.Also and according to a preferred embodiment, the mounting profile 3 comprises two parallel wings 31 and two returns 32 extending, each from a wing 31 of this mounting section 3, towards one of the other, and parallel to the base 30 of the mounting profile 3.

Le profilé de montage 3 présente, alors, une section globalement en « U » et adopte une forme de rail, de fourreau, de fourrure ou analogue.The mounting profile 3 has, then, a section generally "U" and adopts a form of rail, sheath, fur or the like.

C'est, plus particulièrement, par-dessus un tel retour 32 que vient, alors, reposer au moins une tuile 2, voire une pluralité de tuiles adjacentes 2, que comporte le dispositif de couverture 1.It is, more particularly, over such a return 32 that comes, then, to rest at least one tile 2, or even a plurality of adjacent tiles 2, that includes the cover device 1.

Tel que mentionné ci-dessus, le dispositif de couverture 1 comporte au moins deux tuiles juxtaposées 2 qui viennent, alors, reposer sur un même profilé de montage 3.As mentioned above, the cover device 1 comprises at least two juxtaposed tiles 2 which come, then, rest on the same mounting profile 3.

A ce propos, on observera qu'une bordure longitudinale 23 de chacune des tuiles 2 juxtaposées vient, alors, reposer sur un retour 32 que comporte un tel profilé de montage 3.In this regard, it will be observed that a longitudinal edge 23 of each of the tiles 2 juxtaposed then comes to rest on a return 32 that includes such a mounting profile 3.

En fait, ces deux tuiles juxtaposées 2 viennent, alors, reposer sur ces retours 32, ceci en sorte que les bords longitudinaux 22 de ces tuiles juxtaposées 2 se situent en regard.In fact, these two tiles juxtaposed 2 come, then, rest on these returns 32, this so that the longitudinal edges 22 of these tiles juxtaposed 2 are located opposite.

Selon un premier mode de réalisation illustré sur les figures en annexe, les bords longitudinaux 22 de ces tuiles juxtaposées 2 sont espacés de manière à définir, entre ces bords longitudinaux 22, un espacement qui (à l'instar de ces bords longitudinaux 22) est positionné à l'aplomb de l'embase 30 du profilé de montage 3 et au travers duquel s'écoule l'eau en direction du profilé de montage 3. Une caractéristique additionnelle consiste en ce que le bord longitudinal 22 d'au moins une des deux tuiles juxtaposées 2 comporte (plus particulièrement à proximité de l'extrémité inférieure d'un tel bord longitudinal 22) une goutte d'eau 230, notamment constituée par un décrochement, conçue pour faciliter l'égouttage de ce bord longitudinal 22 et empêcher l'écoulement de l'eau sous la face inférieure 21 de la tuile 2.According to a first embodiment illustrated in the appended figures, the longitudinal edges 22 of these juxtaposed tiles 2 are spaced so as to define, between these longitudinal edges 22, a spacing which (like these longitudinal edges 22) is positioned perpendicularly to the base 30 of the mounting profile 3 and through which the water flows towards the mounting profile 3. An additional feature is that the longitudinal edge 22 of the at least one of the two juxtaposed tiles 2 comprises (more particularly near the lower end of such a longitudinal edge 22) a drop of water 230, in particular constituted by a recess, designed to facilitate the drainage of this longitudinal edge 22 and prevent the flow of water under the lower face 21 of the tile 2.

Cependant et selon un autre mode de réalisation (non représenté), les bords longitudinaux 22 de ces tuiles juxtaposées 2 peuvent comporter, de manière longitudinale, des moyens d'emboîtement et/ou des moyens aptes à constituer au moins une chicane. La présence de ces moyens permet, avantageusement, d'améliorer l'étanchéité au niveau de la juxtaposition entre deux tuiles juxtaposées 2.However, according to another embodiment (not shown), the longitudinal edges 22 of these juxtaposed tiles 2 may comprise, longitudinally, interlocking means and / or means capable of constituting at least one baffle. The presence of these means advantageously makes it possible to improve the seal at the level of the juxtaposition between two juxtaposed tiles 2.

Un mode préféré de réalisation consiste en ce que le profilé de montage 3 adopte la forme d'un rail, notamment métallique, comportant une embase 30 ainsi que deux ailes 31, voire encore deux retours 32.A preferred embodiment consists in that the mounting profile 3 adopts the shape of a rail, in particular a metal rail, comprising a base 30 as well as two wings 31, or even two returns 32.

Tel que mentionné ci-dessus, le dispositif de couverture 1 comporte au moins un profilé de montage 3 par-dessus lequel vient reposer au moins une tuile 2, voire une pluralité de tuiles 2.As mentioned above, the cover device 1 comprises at least one mounting profile 3 over which rests at least one tile 2, or even a plurality of tiles 2.

Ce dispositif de couverture 1 comporte, alors, également, au moins une tuile 2, de préférence réalisée en terre cuite ou analogue, et qui vient, alors, reposer par-dessus deux profilés de montage 3, que comporte le dispositif 1 de couverture, et qui s'étendent parallèlement l'un par rapport à l'autre. A ce propos, on observera que ce sont, plus particulièrement, les bordures longitudinales 23 d'une telle tuile 2 qui viennent, alors, reposer par-dessus ces profilés de montage 3, plus particulièrement par-dessus les ailes 31, voire par-dessus les retours 32, que comportent ces profilés de montage 3.This covering device 1 then comprises, also, at least one tile 2, preferably made of terracotta or the like, and which then comes to rest on top of two mounting profiles 3, which the cover device 1 comprises, and which extend parallel to each other. In this connection, it will be observed that it is, more particularly, the longitudinal edges 23 of such a tile 2 which come, then, to rest over these mounting profiles 3, more particularly over the wings 31, or even above the returns 32, which comprise these mounting profiles 3.

Selon l'invention, le dispositif de couverture 1 comporte, encore, des moyens (4 ; 5) pour fixer une tuile 2 sur un profilé de montage 3.According to the invention, the covering device 1 comprises, again, means (4; 5) for fixing a tile 2 on a mounting profile 3.

Selon un premier type de réalisation, les moyens (4 ; 5) pour fixer une tuile 2 sur un profilé de montage 3 comportent au moins un moyen d'accrochage (40 ; 50) conçu pour coopérer avec la tuile 2, plus particulièrement avec un moyen d'accrochage complémentaire que comporte un moyen (7 ; 8) pour recevoir de tels moyens (4 ; 5) pour fixer et que comporte la tuile 2 comme il sera décrit plus en détail ci-dessous.According to a first embodiment, the means (4; 5) for fixing a tile 2 to a mounting profile 3 comprise at least one at least one hooking means (40; 50) adapted to cooperate with the tile 2, more particularly with a complementary fastening means which comprises means (7; 8) for receiving such means (4; 5) for fixing and that includes the tile 2 as will be described in more detail below.

Ces moyens (4 ; 5) pour fixer comportent, encore, soit un moyen 41 pour rendre solidaire ce moyen d'accrochage 40 du profilé de montage 3, soit un moyen d'accrochage 51 conçu pour coopérer avec ce profilé de montage 3.These means (4; 5) for fixing comprise, again, either a means 41 to make integral this attachment means 40 of the mounting profile 3, or a fastening means 51 designed to cooperate with this mounting profile 3.

Selon un premier mode de réalisation (non représenté) de ce premier type de réalisation, le moyen d'accrochage 40 (conçu pour coopérer avec la tuile 2) est constitué par un crochet tandis que le moyen 41 pour rendre ce moyen d'accrochage 40 solidaire du profilé de montage 3 est constitué par une soudure, une vis, un sertissage ou autre.According to a first embodiment (not shown) of this first embodiment, the attachment means 40 (designed to cooperate with the tile 2) is constituted by a hook while the means 41 to make the attachment means 40 integral with the mounting profile 3 is constituted by a weld, a screw, crimping or other.

Selon un deuxième mode de réalisation de ce premier type de réalisation illustré figures 2, 3 et 4 (a à d), les moyens 4 pour fixer une tuile 2 sur un profilé de montage 3 sont constitués par un organe de fixation 42 comportant, d'une part, au moins un moyen d'accrochage 40 conçu pour coopérer avec la tuile 2. Un tel moyen d'accrochage 40 adopte, plus particulièrement, la forme d'un crochet ou analogue, notamment obtenu par déformation.According to a second embodiment of this first illustrated embodiment Figures 2, 3 and 4 (a to d), the means 4 for fixing a tile 2 on a mounting profile 3 are constituted by a fixing member 42 comprising, on the one hand, at least one attachment means 40 designed to cooperate with the tile 2 Such a fastening means 40 adopts, more particularly, the shape of a hook or the like, in particular obtained by deformation.

D'autre part, cet organe de fixation 42 comporte un moyen 41 pour rendre solidaire ce moyen d'accrochage 40 (et donc cet organe de fixation 42 lui même) du profilé de montage 3, plus particulièrement d'une aile 31 ou (et de préférence) d'un retour 32 que comporte ce profilé 3. En fait, ce moyen 41 pour rendre solidaire peut adopter la forme d'un moyen d'emboîtement femelle (notamment constitué par un logement obtenu par déformation) et apte à coopérer avec un moyen d'emboîtement mâle (plus particulièrement une aile 31 ou un retour 32) que comporte le profilé de montage 3.On the other hand, this fastening member 42 comprises a means 41 for securing the attachment means 40 (and thus this fastening member 42 itself) of the mounting profile 3, more particularly of a wing 31 or (and preferably) a return 32 that includes this section 3. In fact, this means 41 to make integral may adopt the form of a female interlocking means (in particular constituted by a housing obtained by deformation) and able to cooperate with a male interlocking means (more particularly a wing 31 or a return 32) that comprises the mounting profile 3.

On observera qu'un tel organe de fixation 42 peut adopter la forme d'un clip (mode de réalisation préféré), d'une agrafe, d'un crochet ou analogue et/ou peut être obtenu par déformation d'une lame (mode de réalisation préféré), d'une languette ou analogue, notamment métallique.It will be observed that such a fastener 42 may take the form of a clip (preferred embodiment), a clip, a hook or the like and / or may be obtained by deformation a blade (preferred embodiment), a tongue or the like, in particular metal.

Selon un troisième mode de réalisation de ce premier type de réalisation illustré figures 5, 6 et 7 (a à d), les moyens 5 pour fixer une tuile 2 sur un profilé de montage 3 sont constitués par un organe de fixation 52 comportant, d'une part, au moins un moyen d'accrochage 50 conçu pour coopérer avec la tuile 2. Un tel moyen d'accrochage 50 adopte, plus particulièrement, la forme d'un crochet ou analogue, notamment obtenu par déformation.According to a third embodiment of this first illustrated embodiment Figures 5, 6 and 7 (a to d), the means 5 for fixing a tile 2 on a mounting profile 3 are constituted by a fixing member 52 comprising, on the one hand, at least one attachment means 50 designed to cooperate with the tile 2 Such a fastening means 50 adopts, more particularly, the shape of a hook or the like, in particular obtained by deformation.

D'autre part, cet organe de fixation 52 comporte un moyen d'accrochage 51 conçu pour coopérer avec le profilé de montage 3, plus particulièrement avec l'embase 30 et/ou avec une aile 31 que comporte un tel profilé de montage 3.On the other hand, this fixing member 52 comprises a fastening means 51 designed to cooperate with the mounting profile 3, more particularly with the base 30 and / or with a wing 31 that includes such a mounting profile 3.

On observera qu'un tel organe de fixation 52 peut adopter la forme d'une agrafe (mode de réalisation préféré), d'un crochet, d'un clip ou analogue et/ou peut être obtenu par déformation d'un fil (mode de réalisation préféré), d'une tige ou analogue, notamment métallique.It will be observed that such a fastening member 52 may take the form of a staple (preferred embodiment), a hook, a clip or the like and / or may be obtained by deformation of a thread (fashion preferred embodiment), a rod or the like, in particular metal.

Quoi qu'il en soit, un tel organe de fixation (42 ; 52) est de type déformable, notamment de manière élastique, ceci pour permettre sa mise en place sur la tuile 2 ainsi que sur le profilé de montage 3.Anyway, such a fastener (42; 52) is deformable type, including elastically, this to allow its establishment on the tile 2 and on the mounting profile 3.

Selon un deuxième type de réalisation (non représenté), les moyens pour fixer une tuile 2 sur un profilé de montage 3 peuvent, encore, être constitués par une colle ou analogue interposée entre une telle tuile 2 et un tel profilé de montage 3. Une telle colle vient, alors, plus particulièrement, se substituer à un organe de fixation 52 tel que décrit ci-dessus et tel qu'illustré figures 5 à 7.According to a second type of embodiment (not shown), the means for fixing a tile 2 on a mounting profile 3 may, again, be constituted by an adhesive or the like interposed between such a tile 2 and such a mounting profile 3. such glue comes, then, more particularly, to substitute for a fastener 52 as described above and as illustrated Figures 5 to 7 .

Selon un troisième type de réalisation (non représenté), les moyens pour fixer une tuile 2 sur un profilé de montage 3 sont constitués par une vis, notamment une vis auto-taraudeuse, traversant la tuile 2 (plus particulièrement une ouverture que comporte une telle tuile 2, notamment que comportent des moyens d'emboîtement femelle 100 de cette tuile 2 ou des moyens 9 pour assurer l'écoulement comme décrits ci-dessous) et coopérant avec le profilé de montage 3, notamment avec un retour 32 que comporte ce profilé de montage 3.According to a third embodiment (not shown), the means for fixing a tile 2 on a mounting profile 3 are constituted by a screw, in particular a self-tapping screw, passing through the tile 2 (more particularly an opening that includes such a tile 2, in particular that comprise female interlocking means 100 of this tile 2 or means 9 for ensure the flow as described below) and cooperating with the mounting profile 3, in particular with a return 32 that includes this mounting profile 3.

Tel que mentionné ci-dessus, le dispositif de couverture 1 selon l'invention comporte une pluralité de tuiles 2 qui sont destinées à reposer sur au moins un profilé de montage 3.As mentioned above, the covering device 1 according to the invention comprises a plurality of tiles 2 which are intended to rest on at least one mounting profile 3.

Ces tuiles 2 comportent, alors, chacune, au moins un moyen 6 pour recevoir au moins un tel profilé de montage 3.These tiles 2 comprise, then, each, at least one means 6 for receiving at least one such mounting profile 3.

En fait, un tel moyen 6 pour recevoir au moins un profilé de montage 3 comporte un logement 60, à l'intérieur duquel se loge au moins une partie du profilé de montage 3, plus particulièrement une aile 31 ou (et de préférence) un retour 32 que comporte ce profilé de montage 3.In fact, such a means 6 for receiving at least one mounting profile 3 comprises a housing 60, inside which is housed at least a portion of the mounting profile 3, more particularly a wing 31 or (and preferably) a return 32 that includes this mounting profile 3.

Ce logement 60 s'étend sur au moins une partie de la longueur de la tuile 2, plus particulièrement sur l'intégralité de la longueur de la tuile 2.This housing 60 extends over at least a part of the length of the tile 2, more particularly over the entire length of the tile 2.

De plus, ce logement 60 s'étend de manière longitudinale et à proximité d'un bord longitudinal 22 de la tuile 2.In addition, this housing 60 extends longitudinally and near a longitudinal edge 22 of the tile 2.

En fait, c'est, plus particulièrement, la bordure longitudinale 23 de cette tuile 2 qui comporte, alors, un tel logement 60.In fact, it is, more particularly, the longitudinal edge 23 of this tile 2 which then comprises such a housing 60.

Selon un mode de réalisation préféré, un tel logement 60 est constitué par une rainure longitudinale 61 (continue ou interrompue par un évidement 71 décrit ci-dessous) s'étendant sur l'intégralité de la longueur de la tuile 2.According to a preferred embodiment, such a housing 60 is constituted by a longitudinal groove 61 (continuous or interrupted by a recess 71 described below) extending over the entire length of the tile 2.

Une telle rainure 61 est ménagée en surface de la tuile 2, plus particulièrement en surface de la face inférieure 21 d'une telle tuile 2.Such a groove 61 is formed on the surface of the tile 2, more particularly on the surface of the lower face 21 of such a tile 2.

En fait, une tuile 2 (que comporte le dispositif de couverture 1 selon l'invention) repose sur deux profilés de montage 3 parallèles. Ainsi, une telle tuile 2 comporte, alors, deux moyens 6 pour recevoir un tel profilé de montage 3. Chacun de ces moyens 6 s'étend sur l'intégralité de la longueur de la tuile 2, ceci de manière longitudinale et à proximité d'un bord longitudinal 22 de la tuile 2. Chacun de ces moyens 6 adopte la forme d'un logement 60, constitué par une rainure longitudinale 61, et que comporte une bordure longitudinale 23 de la tuile 2.In fact, a tile 2 (which includes the cover device 1 according to the invention) rests on two parallel mounting profiles 3. Thus, such a tile 2 comprises, then, two means 6 for receiving such a mounting profile 3. Each of these means 6 extends over the entire length of the tile 2, this longitudinally and close to a longitudinal edge 22 of the tile 2. Each of these means 6 adopts the form of a housing 60, constituted by a longitudinal groove 61, and that comprises a longitudinal edge 23 of the tile 2.

Tel que mentionné ci-dessus, le dispositif de couverture 1 selon l'invention comporte des moyens (4 ; 5) pour fixer une tuile 2 sur un profilé de montage 3.As mentioned above, the covering device 1 according to the invention comprises means (4; 5) for fixing a tile 2 on a mounting profile 3.

Ces tuiles 2 comportent, alors, chacune, au moins un moyen (7 ; 8) pour recevoir les moyens (4 ; 5) pour fixer une telle tuile 2 sur un tel profilé de montage 3.These tiles 2 each comprise at least one means (7; 8) for receiving the means (4; 5) for fixing such a tile 2 on such a mounting profile 3.

En fait et selon un premier mode de réalisation (correspondant à des moyens 4 pour fixer conformes au deuxième mode de réalisation décrit ci-dessus), un tel moyen 7 pour recevoir les moyens 4 pour fixer comporte un logement 70, à l'intérieur duquel se loge au moins une partie de ces moyens 4 pour fixer, plus particulièrement le moyen d'accrochage 40 que comportent ces moyens 4 pour fixer.In fact and according to a first embodiment (corresponding to means 4 for fixing according to the second embodiment described above), such means 7 for receiving the means 4 for fixing comprises a housing 70, inside which at least part of these means 4 are housed to fix, more particularly the fastening means 40 that these means 4 comprise for fixing.

Ce logement 70 s'étend, là encore, sur au moins une partie de la longueur de la tuile 2. De plus, ce logement 70 s'étend de manière longitudinale et à proximité d'un bord longitudinal 22 de la tuile 2. Là encore, c'est, plus particulièrement, la bordure longitudinale 23 de cette tuile 2 qui comporte, alors, un tel logement 70.This housing 70 extends, again, on at least a part of the length of the tile 2. In addition, this housing 70 extends longitudinally and near a longitudinal edge 22 of the tile 2. There again, it is, more particularly, the longitudinal edge 23 of this tile 2 which comprises, then, such a housing 70.

Selon un mode de réalisation préféré, un tel logement 70 est constitué par un évidement 71 (notamment longitudinal) s'étendant sur une partie de la longueur de la tuile 2.According to a preferred embodiment, such a housing 70 is constituted by a recess 71 (in particular longitudinal) extending over a part of the length of the tile 2.

Un tel évidement 71 est ménagé en profondeur dans la tuile 2 et/ou s'étend dans le prolongement (et à l'arrière) de la rainure 61 que comporte le moyen 6 pour recevoir au moins un profilé de montage 3.Such a recess 71 is formed in depth in the tile 2 and / or extends in the extension (and at the rear) of the groove 61 that includes the means 6 for receiving at least one mounting profile 3.

Tel que mentionné ci-dessus, une tuile 2 (que comporte le dispositif de couverture 1 selon l'invention) repose sur deux profilés de montage 3. Ainsi, une telle tuile 2 comporte au moins deux moyens 7 pour recevoir des moyens 4 pour fixer une telle tuile 2 sur ces deux profilés de montage 3. Chacun de ces moyens 7 s'étend sur une partie de la longueur de la tuile 2, ceci de manière longitudinale et à proximité d'un bord longitudinal 22 de la tuile 2. Chacun de ces moyens 7 adopte la forme d'un logement 70, constitué par un évidement 71, et que comporte une bordure longitudinale 23 de la tuile 2.As mentioned above, a tile 2 (which includes the cover device 1 according to the invention) rests on two mounting profiles 3. Thus, such a tile 2 comprises at least two means 7 for receiving means 4 to fix such a tile 2 on these two mounting profiles 3. Each of these means 7 extends over a part of the length of the tile 2, this longitudinally and near a longitudinal edge 22 of the tile 2. Each of these means 7 adopts the form of a housing 70, constituted by a recess 71, and that comprises a longitudinal edge 23 of the tile 2.

Selon une autre caractéristique de l'invention, un tel évidement 71 présente des parois longitudinales dont l'une au moins comporte au moins un moyen d'accrochage complémentaire conçu pour coopérer avec au moins un moyen d'accrochage 40 que comporte les moyens 4 pour fixer une tuile 2 sur un profilé de montage 3.According to another characteristic of the invention, such a recess 71 has longitudinal walls, at least one of which comprises at least one additional attachment means designed to cooperate with at least one attachment means 40 that comprises the means 4 for fix a tile 2 on a mounting profile 3.

Un tel moyen d'accrochage complémentaire adopte la forme d'un rebord d'accrochage, d'un état de surface particulier de la paroi longitudinale (rugueux, pourvu d'aspérités ou autre) ou analogue.Such additional attachment means adopts the shape of a hooking flange, a particular surface state of the longitudinal wall (rough, with unevenness or other) or the like.

Cependant et selon un deuxième mode de réalisation (correspondant à des moyens 5 pour fixer conformes au troisième mode de réalisation décrit ci-dessus), un tel moyen 8 pour recevoir les moyens 5 pour fixer une tuile 2 sur un profilé de montage 3 comportent un moyen d'accrochage complémentaire 80.However, and according to a second embodiment (corresponding to means 5 for fixing according to the third embodiment described above), such means 8 for receiving the means 5 for fixing a tile 2 on a mounting profile 3 comprise a additional fastening means 80.

En fait, un tel moyen d'accrochage complémentaire 80 est conçu pour coopérer avec un moyen d'accrochage 50 que comportent les moyens 5 pour fixer.In fact, such a complementary coupling means 80 is designed to cooperate with an attachment means 50 that comprise the means 5 for fixing.

Selon un mode particulier de réalisation, un tel moyen d'accrochage complémentaire 80 est constitué par un rebord d'accrochage ou analogue.According to a particular embodiment, such a complementary attachment means 80 is constituted by a hooking flange or the like.

On observera que c'est la tuile 2 qui comporte un tel moyen d'accrochage complémentaire 80, ceci à proximité d'un bord transversal 24 de la tuile 2, plus particulièrement à proximité d'un bord transversal 24 arrière (ou supérieur). En fait, c'est, plus particulièrement, une bordure transversale 25 (plus particulièrement la bordure transversale 25 arrière ou supérieure, usuellement dénommée talon) qui comporte un tel moyen d'accrochage complémentaire 80.It will be observed that it is the tile 2 which includes such complementary attachment means 80, this in the vicinity of a transverse edge 24 of the tile 2, more particularly near a transverse edge 24 rear (or upper). In fact, it is, more particularly, a transverse border 25 (more particularly the rear or upper transverse border, usually referred to as a bead) which comprises such complementary attachment means 80.

Selon une autre caractéristique de l'invention, ce moyen 8 pour recevoir les moyens 5 pour fixer comporte, encore, un logement 81, à l'intérieur duquel se loge au moins une partie des moyens 5 pour fixer (plus particulièrement le moyen d'accrochage 50). C'est, plus particulièrement, le moyen d'accrochage complémentaire 80 mentionné ci-dessus qui comporte, alors, un tel logement 81, ceci à proximité d'un bord longitudinal 22 de la tuile 2.According to another characteristic of the invention, this means 8 for receiving the means 5 for fixing also comprises a housing 81 inside which at least part of the means 5 for securing (more particularly the means for hanging 50). It is, more particularly, the means additional hooking 80 mentioned above which then comprises such a housing 81, this near a longitudinal edge 22 of the tile 2.

Selon une autre caractéristique, la tuile 2 (que comporte le dispositif de couverture de l'invention) comporte, à proximité d'un bord transversal 24 et/ou au niveau d'une bordure transversale 25, un moyen 9 conçu pour assurer l'écoulement de l'eau en direction d'au moins un bord longitudinal 22 de la tuile 2.According to another characteristic, the tile 2 (which comprises the covering device of the invention) comprises, near a transverse edge 24 and / or at a transverse edge 25, a means 9 designed to ensure the flow of water towards at least one longitudinal edge 22 of the tile 2.

Selon un mode de réalisation préféré de l'invention, la tuile 2 comporte un tel moyen 9 pour assurer l'écoulement de l'eau, ceci à proximité du bord transversal 24 arrière (ou supérieur). C'est, plus particulièrement, la bordure transversale 25 supérieure (ou arrière) de cette tuile 2 qui comporte, alors, un tel moyen 9.According to a preferred embodiment of the invention, the tile 2 comprises such a means 9 to ensure the flow of water, this in the vicinity of the rear transverse edge 24 (or upper). It is, more particularly, the upper (or rear) transverse border of this tile 2 which then comprises such means 9.

Tel que mentionné ci-dessus, le bord longitudinal 22 d'une tuile 2 est positionné à l'aplomb de l'embase 30 du profilé de montage 3. Il en résulte que l'eau s'écoule (par le biais du moyen 9 pour assurer son écoulement) en direction d'un bord longitudinal 22 et, arrivé au niveau de ce bord longitudinal 22, s'écoule à l'intérieur du profilé de montage 3 en vue de son évacuation par ce profilé de montage 3.As mentioned above, the longitudinal edge 22 of a tile 2 is positioned in line with the base 30 of the mounting profile 3. As a result, the water flows (through the means 9 to ensure its flow) towards a longitudinal edge 22 and, arrived at this longitudinal edge 22, flows inside the mounting profile 3 for its evacuation by this mounting profile 3.

En fait, ce moyen 9 (conçu pour assurer l'écoulement de l'eau en direction d'au moins un bord longitudinal 22 de la tuile 2) s'étend de manière transversale à la tuile 2 et en direction d'au moins un bord longitudinal 22 de la tuile 2.In fact, this means 9 (designed to ensure the flow of water towards at least one longitudinal edge 22 of the tile 2) extends transversely to the tile 2 and towards at least one longitudinal edge 22 of the tile 2.

Selon l'invention, ce moyen 9 pour assurer l'écoulement de l'eau s'étend entre les deux bords longitudinaux 22 de la tuile 2.According to the invention, this means 9 for ensuring the flow of water extends between the two longitudinal edges 22 of the tile 2.

En fait, un tel moyen 9 pour assurer l'écoulement de l'eau en direction d'un bord longitudinal 22 présente une pente descendante en direction de ce bord longitudinal 22.In fact, such a means 9 for ensuring the flow of water towards a longitudinal edge 22 has a downward slope towards this longitudinal edge 22.

A ce propos, on observera que selon l'invention le moyen 9 pour assurer l'écoulement de l'eau est conçu pour assurer l'écoulement de cette eau en direction des deux bords longitudinaux 22 de la tuile 2. Pour ce faire, ce moyen 9 présente une double pente descendante chacune en direction d'un tel bord longitudinal 22.In this regard, it will be observed that according to the invention the means 9 to ensure the flow of water is designed to ensure the flow of this water towards both edges longitudinal members 22 of the tile 2. To do this, this means 9 has a double downward slope each in the direction of such a longitudinal edge 22.

Un tel moyen 9 pour assurer l'écoulement de l'eau en direction des deux bords longitudinaux 22 de la tuile 2 adopte la forme d'une rainure, d'une gouttière, d'un canal ou analogue.Such means 9 to ensure the flow of water towards the two longitudinal edges 22 of the tile 2 takes the form of a groove, a gutter, a channel or the like.

Tel que mentionné ci-dessus, c'est la tuile 2 (plus particulièrement, la bordure transversale 25 supérieure ou arrière de cette tuile 2) qui comporte un tel moyen 9 pour assurer l'écoulement de l'eau, ceci à proximité du bord transversal 24 supérieur (ou arrière). A ce propos, on observera que ce moyen 9 peut, alors, se situer en aval ou en contrebas de la face supérieure 20 de la tuile 2. Dans un pareil cas, la tuile 2 (plus particulièrement, la bordure transversale 25 inférieure ou avant de cette tuile 2) comporte, également, un rebord de recouvrement destiné à s'étendre par-dessus le moyen 9 pour assurer l'écoulement de l'eau et que comporte une tuile 2 adjacente située en aval.As mentioned above, it is the tile 2 (more particularly, the upper or the rear transverse edge of this tile 2) which includes such means 9 to ensure the flow of water, this close to the edge transversal 24 upper (or rear). In this regard, it will be observed that this means 9 can then be located downstream or below the upper face 20 of the tile 2. In such a case, the tile 2 (more particularly, the transverse edge 25 below or before of this tile 2) also has a cover flange for extending over the means 9 to ensure the flow of water and that includes an adjacent tile 2 downstream.

Dans un tel mode de réalisation, le dispositif de couverture 1 comporte des moyens (non représentés) pour fixer ensemble deux tuiles adjacentes 2, plus particulièrement pour immobiliser ces deux tuiles 2 l'une par rapport à l'autre, ceci selon une direction perpendiculaire à un plan général dans lequel s'étendent ces tuiles 2. De tels moyens pour fixer peuvent, alors, adopter la forme d'une épingle ou analogue conçue pour coopérer, d'une part, avec la bordure transversale 25 supérieure ou arrière (plus particulièrement avec le bord transversal 24 supérieur ou arrière) d'une tuile 2 adjacente située en aval et, d'autre part, avec la bordure transversale 25 inférieure ou avant (plus particulièrement avec le bord transversal 24 inférieur ou avant) d'une tuile 2 adjacente située en amont.In such an embodiment, the covering device 1 comprises means (not shown) for fixing together two adjacent tiles 2, more particularly for immobilizing these two tiles 2 with respect to each other, this in a perpendicular direction to such a general plane in which these tiles extend 2. Such means for securing may then assume the shape of a pin or the like designed to cooperate, on the one hand, with the upper or the rear transverse edge (more particularly with the upper or rear transverse edge 24) of an adjacent downstream tile 2 and, on the other hand, with the lower or front transverse edge (more particularly with the lower or front transverse edge 24) of a tile 2 adjacent upstream.

Une caractéristique de la tuile 2 du dispositif de couverture 1 consiste en ce qu'une telle tuile 2 comporte des moyens d'emboîtement 10, conçus pour coopérer avec des moyens d'emboîtement complémentaires que comporte une autre tuile 2 adjacente, plus particulièrement une tuile supérieure 2 (située en amont) ou une tuile inférieure 2 (située en aval).A characteristic of the tile 2 of the covering device 1 is that such a tile 2 comprises interlocking means 10, designed to cooperate with complementary interlocking means that comprises another adjacent tile 2, more particularly an upper tile 2 (located upstream) or a lower tile 2 (located downstream).

La présence de ces moyens d'emboîtement 10 permet, avantageusement, de faciliter le montage d'une nouvelle tuile 2 par rapport à une tuile adjacente déjà implantée et/ou d'immobiliser une tuile 2 par rapport à une tuile adjacente, notamment selon une direction perpendiculaire à un plan général dans lequel s'étend une telle tuile 2.The presence of these interlocking means 10 advantageously makes it easier to assemble a new tile 2 with respect to an adjacent tile already implanted and / or to immobilize a tile 2 with respect to an adjacent tile, in particular according to a direction perpendicular to a general plane in which such a tile 2 extends.

En fait, ces moyens d'emboîtement 10 sont constitués, d'une part, par un moyen d'emboîtement femelle 100 que comporte la tuile 2 à proximité d'un bord transversal 24 et/ou que comporte la bordure transversale 25 d'une telle tuile 2 et, d'autre part, par un moyen d'emboîtement mâle 101 que comporte la tuile 2 à proximité de l'autre bord transversal 24 et/ou que comporte l'autre bordure transversale 25 de la tuile 2.In fact, these interlocking means 10 are constituted, on the one hand, by a female interlocking means 100 that the tile 2 comprises in proximity to a transverse edge 24 and / or that comprises the transverse edge 25 of a such tile 2 and, secondly, by a male interlocking means 101 that includes the tile 2 near the other transverse edge 24 and / or that includes the other transverse edge 25 of the tile 2.

En fait et selon un mode de réalisation préféré de l'invention, c'est, plus particulièrement, la tuile 2 qui comporte le moyen d'emboîtement femelle 100 à proximité d'un bord transversal 24 arrière (ou supérieur) et/ou la bordure transversale 25 arrière (ou supérieure, usuellement dénommé talon) de cette tuile 2 qui comporte ce moyen d'emboîtement femelle 100.In fact and according to a preferred embodiment of the invention, it is, more particularly, the tile 2 which comprises the female interlocking means 100 near a transverse edge 24 rear (or upper) and / or the rear transverse border (or upper, usually called heel) of this tile 2 which comprises the female interlocking means 100.

Quant au moyen d'emboîtement mâle 101, c'est, plus particulièrement, la tuile 2 qui comporte ce moyen d'emboîtement mâle 101 à proximité d'un bord transversal 24 avant (ou inférieur) et/ou la bordure transversale 25 avant (ou inférieure, usuellement dénommé nez) de cette tuile 2 qui comporte ce moyen d'emboîtement mâle 101.As for the male interlocking means 101, it is, more particularly, the tile 2 which comprises this male interlocking means 101 near a transverse edge 24 before (or lower) and / or the transverse edge 25 before ( or lower, usually called nose) of this tile 2 which comprises the male interlocking means 101.

Selon l'invention comme illustré sur les figures en annexe, le moyen d'emboîtement mâle 101 est constitué par une nervure tandis que le moyen d'emboîtement femelle 100 est constitué par une rainure qui, d'ailleurs et de manière avantageuse, constitue, au moins en partie le moyen 9 pour assurer l'écoulement de l'eau en direction des deux bords longitudinaux 22 de la tuile 2.According to the invention as illustrated in the appended figures, the male interlocking means 101 is constituted by a rib while the female interlocking means 100 is constituted by a groove which, moreover and advantageously, constitutes at least in part the means 9 for ensuring the flow of water towards the two longitudinal edges 22 of the tile 2.

Un autre mode de réalisation ne faisant pas partie de l'invention consiste en ce que le moyen d'emboîtement femelle 100 est constitué par une mortaise tandis que le moyen d'emboîtement mâle 101 est constitué par un tenon.Another embodiment not forming part of the invention consists in that the female interlocking means 100 is constituted by a mortise while the male interlocking means 101 is constituted by a tenon.

Encore un autre mode de réalisation ne faisant pas partie de l'invention consiste en ce que le moyen d'emboîtement femelle 100 est constitué par un logement tandis que le moyen d'emboîtement mâle 101 est constitué par une languette élastique, une tige, un doigt ou analogue.Yet another embodiment not forming part of the invention consists in that the female interlocking means 100 is constituted by a housing while the male interlocking means 101 is constituted by an elastic tongue, a rod, a finger or the like.

Une caractéristique additionnelle consiste en ce que la tuile 2 comporte des moyens pour espacer le bord longitudinal 22 de deux tuiles juxtaposées 2 (plus particulièrement le bord longitudinal 22 d'une tuile 2 par rapport au bord longitudinal 22 d'une autre tuile juxtaposées 2) et/ou le bord transversal 24 de deux tuiles adjacentes 2 (plus particulièrement le bord transversal 24 d'une tuile 2 par rapport au bord transversal 24 d'une autre tuile adjacente 2, selon le cas, supérieure ou inférieure).An additional feature is that the tile 2 comprises means for spacing the longitudinal edge 22 of two juxtaposed tiles 2 (more particularly the longitudinal edge 22 of a tile 2 with respect to the longitudinal edge 22 of another tile juxtaposed 2) and / or the transverse edge 24 of two adjacent tiles 2 (more particularly the transverse edge 24 of a tile 2 with respect to the transverse edge 24 of another adjacent tile 2, as the case may be, upper or lower).

En fait, ces moyens pour espacer comportent, d'une part, au moins un organe (plus particulièrement, un patin, un doigt, un plot ou analogue), équipant un rebord de recouvrement ou un moyen d'emboîtement mâle 101 (que comporte un moyen d'emboîtement 10 que comporte la tuile 2), et qui s'étend en direction d'un moyen 9 pour assurer l'écoulement de l'eau 9 ou d'un moyen d'emboîtement femelle 100 (que comporte ce moyen d'emboîtement 10), ceci de manière sensiblement perpendiculaire au plan général d'extension de la tuile 2.In fact, these means for spacing comprise, on the one hand, at least one member (more particularly, a pad, a finger, a pad or the like) fitted to a cover flange or a male interlocking means 101 (which includes an interlocking means 10 that the tile 2) comprises, and which extends in the direction of a means 9 to ensure the flow of the water 9 or a female interlocking means 100 (which comprises this means 10), this substantially perpendicular to the general plane of extension of the tile 2.

D'autre part, ces moyens pour espacer comportent un logement, équipant un moyen 9 pour assurer l'écoulement de l'eau 9 ou un moyen d'emboîtement femelle 100 (que comporte un moyen d'emboîtement 10 que comporte la tuile 2), ménagé en regard d'un organe (plus particulièrement dans le fond du moyen 9 ou du moyen d'emboîtement femelle 100), et à l'intérieur duquel vient se loger un tel organe.On the other hand, these means for spacing comprise a housing, equipping a means 9 to ensure the flow of water 9 or a female interlocking means 100 (which comprises a nesting means 10 that includes the tile 2) , arranged facing a member (more particularly in the bottom of the means 9 or the female interlocking means 100), and within which is housed such a member.

En fait, ces moyens pour espacer équipent une telle tuile 2 plus particulièrement à proximité d'au moins un bord longitudinal 22 de la tuile 2.In fact, these means for spacing equip such a tile 2 more particularly close to at least one longitudinal edge 22 of the tile 2.

Ces moyens pour espacer permettent, avantageusement, de créer, entre les tuiles 2 (respectivement juxtaposées ou adjacentes), un jeu (respectivement longitudinal ou transversal) nécessaire pour compenser les effets des variations de température (dilation à la chaleur et rétraction au froid), des mouvements et déformations de la charpente, et/ou des mouvements sismiques.These means for spacing advantageously make it possible to create, between the tiles 2 (respectively juxtaposed or adjacent), a clearance (respectively longitudinal or transversal) necessary to compensate for the effects of temperature variations (heat expansion and cold shrinkage), movements and deformations of the frame, and / or seismic movements.

Tel que mentionné ci-dessus, les tuiles 2 (que comporte le dispositif de couverture 1) comportent une face supérieure 20 et une face inférieure 21.As mentioned above, the tiles 2 (which comprises the covering device 1) comprise an upper face 20 and a lower face 21.

Aussi et selon une caractéristique additionnelle de l'invention, une telle tuile 2 présente une face supérieure 20 comportant au moins une portion 200, soit s'étendant de manière parallèle par rapport à un plan général d'extension de la tuile 2, soit présentant une inclinaison par rapport à ce plan et s'étendant, alors et selon le cas, de manière longitudinale ou transversale par rapport à la tuile 2.Also and according to an additional feature of the invention, such a tile 2 has an upper face 20 having at least one portion 200, or extending parallel to a general plane of extension of the tile 2, or having an inclination relative to this plane and extending, then and as the case, longitudinally or transversely to the tile 2.

Selon un premier mode de réalisation (non représenté), une telle face supérieure 20 comporte une unique portion 200 s'étendant de manière parallèle par rapport à un plan général d'extension de la tuile 2. Un tel mode de réalisation permet, avantageusement, de positionner la face supérieure 20 d'une tuile 2 dans le prolongement de la face supérieure 20 d'une tuile adjacente et d'une tuile juxtaposée ceci pour la réalisation d'un toit présentant une surface plane et dépourvu d'escaliers (contrairement aux toits de l'état de la technique).According to a first embodiment (not shown), such an upper face 20 comprises a single portion 200 extending parallel to a general plane of extension of the tile 2. Such an embodiment advantageously allows, to position the upper face 20 of a tile 2 in the extension of the upper face 20 of an adjacent tile and a tile juxtaposed this for the realization of a roof having a flat surface and devoid of stairs (unlike the roofs of the state of the art).

Tel que mentionné ci-dessus, la face supérieure 20 peut comporter au moins une portion 200 présentant une inclinaison par rapport au plan général d'extension de la tuile 2.As mentioned above, the upper face 20 may comprise at least one portion 200 having an inclination with respect to the general plane of extension of the tile 2.

Dans un pareil cas, une telle portion 200 peut s'étendre de manière transversale (figure 8) ou longitudinale (figure 9) par rapport la tuile 2.In such a case, such a portion 200 may extend transversely ( figure 8 ) or longitudinal ( figure 9 ) relative to the tile 2.

Aussi et selon un deuxième mode de réalisation, la face supérieure 20 de la tuile 2 présente une unique portion 200 (correspondant à toute la surface de cette face supérieure 20), présentant une inclinaison par rapport au plan général d'extension de la tuile 2, et s'étendant de manière transversale par rapport à cette tuile 2. Ce mode de réalisation permet, avantageusement, de réaliser un toit présentant des escaliers.Also and according to a second embodiment, the upper face 20 of the tile 2 has a single portion 200 (corresponding to the entire surface of this upper face 20), having an inclination with respect to the general plane extension of the tile 2, and extending transversely relative to the tile 2. This embodiment advantageously makes it possible to make a roof with stairs.

En fait et comme visible sur les figures en annexe, la face supérieure 20 d'une tuile 2 peut comporter au moins deux portions 200, présentant chacune une inclinaison de pente différente ou contraire.In fact and as shown in the figures in the appendix, the upper face 20 of a tile 2 may comprise at least two portions 200, each having a different inclination slope or opposite.

Selon un premier mode de réalisation, ces portions 200 peuvent s'étendre de manière longitudinale par rapport à la tuile 2 ce qui permet, avantageusement, de faciliter l'écoulement longitudinal. Tel que visible sur la figure 9, une telle tuile 2 peut, alors, comporter 5 portions 200 s'étendant de manière longitudinale.According to a first embodiment, these portions 200 may extend longitudinally with respect to the tile 2, which advantageously makes it possible to facilitate the longitudinal flow. As visible on the figure 9 such a tile 2 may then have 5 portions 200 extending longitudinally.

Selon un autre mode de réalisation, ces portions 200 peuvent s'étendre de manière transversale par rapport à la tuile 2. Ceci permet, avantageusement, de faciliter la prise d'appui d'un pied d'un opérateur (plus particulièrement en créant un point de blocage) et/ou de diminuer la vitesse de l'écoulement de l'eau (application particulière appropriée pour les grands rampants) et/ou de créer un moyen pour retenir la neige (notamment en conférant à une telle portion 200 une inclinaison importante par rapport au plan d'extension de la tuile 2 et susceptible de constituer un moyen pour retenir la neige).According to another embodiment, these portions 200 may extend transversely with respect to the tile 2. This advantageously makes it easier to take hold of an operator's foot (more particularly by creating an blocking point) and / or to reduce the speed of the water flow (particular application suitable for large crawlers) and / or to create a means for retaining the snow (in particular by conferring on such a portion 200 an inclination important compared to the plan of extension of the tile 2 and likely to constitute a means to retain the snow).

Tel que visible sur la figure 8, une telle tuile 2 peut, alors comporter 4 portions 200 qui, deux à deux, présentent une inclinaison de pente opposée.As visible on the figure 8 such a tile 2 may then have 4 portions 200 which, two by two, have an inclination of opposite slope.

Selon une caractéristique additionnelle, le dispositif de couverture 1 de l'invention peut, encore, comporter des moyens pour au moins limiter (voire empêcher) le déplacement longitudinal, par rapport à un profilé de montage 3, d'au moins une tuile 2 et/ou des moyens (4 ; 5) pour fixer une tuile 2 sur un profilé de montage 3.According to an additional feature, the covering device 1 of the invention may also comprise means for at least limiting (or preventing) the longitudinal displacement, with respect to a mounting profile 3, of at least one tile 2 and / or means (4; 5) for fixing a tile 2 on a mounting profile 3.

En fait, un tel ergot peut être constitué par une déformation d'une portion de profilé de montage 3 délimitée par une découpe que comporte ce profilé de montage 3.According to a first embodiment (not shown), the means for at least limiting the longitudinal displacement of at least one tile 2 comprise, on the one hand, at least one lug, which comprises the mounting profile 3 (more particularly a wing 31 or, preferably, a return 32 of this mounting profile 3), and which extends laterally with respect to this mounting profile 3 (in particular with respect to a wing 31 or a return 32). In fact, such a lug may be constituted by a deformation of a mounting profile portion 3 delimited by a cutout that comprises this mounting section 3.

D'autre part, ces moyens pour au moins limiter le déplacement longitudinal d'au moins une tuile 2 comportent au moins une butée d'arrêt, qui coopère avec un ergot tel que mentionné ci-dessus, et que comporte la tuile 2. Une telle butée d'arrêt peut être constituée par un logement, par une rainure transversale ou analogue.On the other hand, these means for at least limiting the longitudinal displacement of at least one tile 2 comprise at least one stopper, which cooperates with a pin as mentioned above, and that comprises the tile 2. A such stopper may be constituted by a housing, a transverse groove or the like.

Un autre mode de réalisation consiste en ce que les moyens pour au moins limiter le déplacement d'une tuile 2 par rapport à un profilé de montage 3 sont constitués par des moyens pour fixer une telle tuile 2 sur un tel profilé de montage 3, plus particulièrement sous le forme d'une vis telle que décrite ci-dessus.Another embodiment consists in that the means for at least limiting the displacement of a tile 2 relative to a mounting profile 3 are constituted by means for fixing such a tile 2 on such a mounting profile 3, plus particularly in the form of a screw as described above.
