Description

COUVERTURE DE TOITURE ROOF COVER
Domaine de l' inventionField of the invention
La présente invention se rapporte à la pose de couvertures de bâtiments; elle concerne en particulier une couverture de toiture nouvelle.The present invention relates to the installation of building covers; it relates in particular to a new roof covering.
Technique antérieurePrior art
Les couvertures de toiture sont habituellement réalisée à l'aide de tôles de zinc avec joints debout. Ces couvertures en zinc ont l'inconvénient de se dilater avec la chaleur et d'être fragiles lors de fortes gelées. De plus, les tôles de zinc doivent être venti- lées par dessous afin d'éviter leur vieillissement anormal. Enfin, les couvertures en zinc ne peuvent être fixées que sur des planches en bois.Roof coverings are usually made using zinc sheets with standing seams. These zinc blankets have the disadvantage of expanding with heat and being fragile during severe frosts. In addition, the zinc sheets must be ventilated from below to avoid their abnormal aging. Finally, the zinc covers can only be fixed on wooden planks.
Par DE-A-23362229 et US-A-5572843 on connait des systèmes de couverture dans lesquels une membrane d'étanchéité en matière synthétique est étendue sur la toiture, laquelle membrane est fixée à l'aide de barres plates ou de profilés en matière synthétique. Ces barres ou ces profilés ne donnent cependant pas à la toiture ainsi couverte une apparence esthétique similaire à celle d'une couverture en zinc traditionnelle. Résumé de l'inventionFrom DE-A-23362229 and US-A-5572843 there are known roofing systems in which a waterproofing membrane of synthetic material is extended on the roof, which membrane is fixed using flat bars or profiles of material synthetic. However, these bars or profiles do not give the roof thus covered an aesthetic appearance similar to that of a traditional zinc roof. Summary of the invention
L ' invention propose un système de couverture pour toiture comprenant une membrane d'étanchéité en matière synthétique et plusieurs barres en matière synthétique disposées parallèlement les unes aux autres sur la surface de la membrane d'étanchéité. Celle-ci est fixée mécaniquement à un élément de toiture et chacune des barres est constituée d'un profi- lé d'une pièce en matière synthétique, soudé sur la membrane d'étanchéité. La semelle de chaque profilé est soudée sur la membrane d ' étanchéité par un procédé quelconque.The invention provides a roofing system comprising a waterproofing membrane of synthetic material and several bars of synthetic material arranged parallel to each other on the surface of the waterproofing membrane. This is mechanically fixed to a roof element and each of the bars is made up of a profile of a plastic part, welded to the waterproofing membrane. The sole of each profile is welded to the waterproofing membrane by any method.
Dans une forme d'exécution préférée, chaque profilé est formé avec une semelle et une âme saillante surmontée d'une partie à profil de forme générale triangulaire présentant un faîte arrondi.In a preferred embodiment, each profile is formed with a sole and a projecting core surmounted by a profile part of generally triangular shape having a rounded ridge.
Outre que l'invention permet de réaliser des couvertures de toiture qui ne présentent pas les inconvénients des couvertures en zinc, la couverture de toiture suivant 1 ' invention présente encore les avantages suivants :Besides that the invention makes it possible to produce roofing covers which do not have the drawbacks of zinc roofing, the roofing covering according to the invention also has the following advantages:
(i) exécution plus facile et plus rapide de la couverture que les couvertures en zinc à joints debout,(i) easier and faster execution of the roofing than standing seam zinc roofing,
(ii) grand choix pour le support de la couverture,(ii) large choice for the support of the cover,
(iii) réduction du coût de la couverture par rapport à une couverture en zinc à joints debout, (iv) apparence de la couverture assez similaire à celle d'une couverture en zinc traditionnelle.(iii) reduction of the cost of the cover compared to a zinc cover with standing seams, (iv) appearance of the cover quite similar to that of a traditional zinc cover.
L'invention est exposée plus en détails dans ce qui suit à l'aide des dessins joints.The invention is explained in more detail below with the aid of the accompanying drawings.
Brève description des dessinsBrief description of the drawings
La figure 1 est une vue de dessus d'une surface de toiture couverte conformément à l'invention.Figure 1 is a top view of a roof surface covered in accordance with the invention.
La figure 2 montre une coupe suivant la ligne II-II de la figure 1.Figure 2 shows a section along line II-II of Figure 1.
La figure 3 est une vue agrandie d'un profilé représenté à la figure 2.FIG. 3 is an enlarged view of a profile shown in FIG. 2.
Description d'un mode de réalisation de l'inventionDescription of an embodiment of the invention
Sur la surface d'un élément 11 d'une toiture, par exemple un isolant, un voligeage, du béton, une tôle, etc, on fixe mécaniquement, par un moyen quelconque, une membrane d'étanchéité homogène constituée de feuilles 12 en PVC, par exemple.On the surface of an element 11 of a roof, for example an insulation, a sheathing, concrete, a sheet metal, etc., a homogeneous waterproofing membrane made up of PVC sheets 12 is mechanically fixed. , for example.
Sur cette membrane 12 sont mis en place des profilés d'une pièce 13 en matière synthétique, par exemple des profilés souples en PVC, disposés parallèlement les uns aux autres avec un écartement régulier entre eux. Les profilés 13 sont fixés sur la membrane 12 par soudure, par exemple par soudure à froid à l'aide de tétra hydrofurane ou par soudure à l'air chaud. Dans l'exemple illustré à la figure 3, les profilés 13 comportent une semelle 14 et une âme saillante 15 surmontée d'une partie 16 ayant en section transversale un profil de forme générale triangulaire. L'âme 15 du profilé a par exemple une largeur d'environ 1 cm et une hauteur d'environ 3 cm. Dans le mode d'exécution montré en figure 3, les profilés 13 se trouvent fixés sur la zone de chevauchement de deux feuilles de PVC 12 consécutives, ce qui a pour effet de rendre les joints invisibles. L'apparence d'une couverture de toiture ainsi réalisée de façon simple et rapide, est similaire à celle d'une couverture de toiture en zinc traditionnelle. On this membrane 12 are placed one-piece profiles 13 of synthetic material, for example flexible PVC profiles, arranged parallel to each other with a regular spacing between them. The sections 13 are fixed to the membrane 12 by welding, for example by cold welding using hydrofuran tetra or by hot air welding. In the example illustrated in FIG. 3, the sections 13 comprise a sole 14 and a projecting core 15 surmounted by a part 16 having in cross section a profile of generally triangular shape. The core 15 of the profile has for example a width of approximately 1 cm and a height of approximately 3 cm. In the embodiment shown in Figure 3, the profiles 13 are fixed on the overlapping area of two consecutive PVC sheets 12, which has the effect of making the joints invisible. The appearance of a roof covering thus produced in a simple and rapid manner is similar to that of a traditional zinc roof covering.
