Description

Roofing transit piece.

Object of the invention

The present invention relates to a part intended to form part of a roof or roof, which has been specially designed as a transit element, which allows you to move over the roof, in maintenance and similar, with full security guarantees, avoiding the risk of slips and falls, and protecting the roof elements themselves in parallel as ceramic pieces, slate or others, as it is not necessary to step on about them.

The piece of the invention, with a modular character that allows establish any traffic length with it, it turns out Especially suitable for accessing antennas, lightning rods, windows and skylights, gutters, chimneys, broken or loose tiles, etc., and general for any intervention on the roof.

Background of the invention

Throughout the life of a building there are multiple occasions and circumstances in which it is necessary that a operator moves on the roof, displacement that in addition to be obviously dangerous, especially as the pending cover, involves a risk of deterioration for the same for the ease of breaking the tiles when stepping on them, with the drawbacks that result from it.

To date, the only solution to tackle this problem it consists of using by the operators or people who must go up to the roof a soft and adherent footwear, which by its own nature tends to avoid slips and not damage the tiles or the cover material in question.

However, this solution is far from solving the problem definitely.

Description of the invention

The roof transit piece that the invention proposes solves the problem fully satisfactorily previously exposed, in the different aspects commented, offering full security guarantees for both operators who move on the roof as for this latest.

For this and more specifically, said piece, intended for be used in combination with the same or similar ones, it materializes on a plate of an appropriate resistant material, preferably of thermosetting resin reinforced with fiber of elongated glass with a suitable width to determine a "corridor" comfortable for one person and with a variable length, in function of the modular nature intended for it to which it has been mentioned earlier, settling along said plate, preferably molded therein, a series of steps With non-slip surface, adapted to different inclinations from the roof.

The plate also incorporates two longitudinal and lateral ribs which make it a longitudinal channel for water evacuation of rain, while these nerves define small gutters open down, determinants of pipes for passage of cables for antennas, electrical conduits, etc., so that These elements are hidden in the context of the roof.

The aforementioned nerves also act as support elements for the rows of adjacent tiles, so that the latter pour on the inside of said plate channel, ensuring a Perfect sealing for the cover.

The decisive drawing of the steps are finished off by the which must be the upper extremity of the plaque in a septum ascending, destined to stay at the bottom of the step corresponding to the immediately superior plate, so that get, on the one hand a tongue and groove coupling between plates to along the alignment of the same that extends between the eave and the roof top, that is to say a mechanical fixation between plates, parallel to a tight coupling defined by the own slope of the roof and for the partial overlap of each plate to the immediately lower.

Each plate alignment can interrupt two areas laterally adjacent tiles or other roofing elements, when it is a newly built roof, or it can replace a pair of rows of tiles, after eliminating themselves, in the rehabilitation of existing roofs.

Description of the drawings

To complement the description that is being made and with in order to help a better understanding of the characteristics of the invention, according to a preferred embodiment practice thereof, is accompanied as an integral part of said description, a set of drawings where illustrative and not limiting, the following has been represented:

Figure 1.- Shows, according to a perspective view, a piece of transit for roofs carried out in accordance with the purpose of the present invention

Figure 2.- Shows a detail in longitudinal section of the piece of the previous figure.

Figure 3.- Shows a detail in cross section of the same piece.

Figure 4.- Shows, finally, a partial view in perspective of a roof provided with a transit corridor made with pieces like the one in the previous figures.

Preferred Embodiment of the Invention

In view of the figures outlined, it can be seen as the transit piece that the invention proposes is constituted by a single piece body as a rectangular and elongated plate (1), which as previously said it will be obtained from resin thermostable reinforced with fiberglass, colored with different usual colors in the classic cover pieces, such as red tile, anthracite for slate roofs, or other, plate affected by a longitudinal and average drawing alignment determinants of steps (2), of non-slip surface, which as previously said they can have different inclinations  suitable for different roof slopes, and that are topped by the upper extremity of the plate (1) in a partition (3) emerging towards your upper face or view and dimensionally suitable to fit into the hollow or hollow interior of the step lower end (2 ') of the immediately superior plate, in the modular mounting between plates establishing an alignment by way of corridor between, for example, the eave and the top of the roof, such  as shown in figure 4, achieving a coupling tongue and groove between plates and a perfect mechanical fixation of the same in the aforementioned alignment constituted by several of them.

As is evident in this longitudinal coupling between plates each one of them is substantially overlapped immediately lower, which, together with the slope of the roof, ensures proper tightness in the evacuation of water from rain.

In addition to the above mentioned constitutive drawing of the steps (2-2 '), the plate (1) incorporates two other longitudinal embossments  and marginal (4), also projected upwards, determinants of respective nerves (5), so that these two nerves (5) determine a kind of channel (6), from whose bottom emerge the steps (2), which are sufficiently distanced from such nerves (5), such lateral nerves (5) acting as means of lateral containment for rainwater with respect to the channel (6) and as coupling means for roof tiles (7), such as it is also seen in figure 4, so that the two rows of tiles (7) that frame the stairs defined by the alignment of pieces (l) overlap the marginal areas of the latter, they hide their nerves (5) and pour rainwater also on the channel (6), with the drawing (4) still partially overlapping in the coupling between parts (1) to also maintain these marginal areas the sealing of the enclosure.

It only remains to note that, as has also been said with previously, the longitudinal and lateral drawing (4), which establish perfect continuity between successive pieces (l), are can be used as gutters to pass through them of antenna cables, electrical cables, etc., so that said cables are hidden while protected from the effects environmental.
