Definitions

  • the present invention relates to an improved bundle for shingles.
  • Certain coverings or certain sidings are made by using flat wooden tiles also called shingles.
  • the shingles at present have a flat rectangular shape.
  • Shingles are at present bundled.
  • the bundle according to the invention fulfills several functions in the industrial and commercial uses of shingles.
  • the first function is to offer improved bundles for the treatment phase.
  • the treatment is at present effected in an autoclave or by immersion and particularly for impregnation with fungicide and insecticide or specific properties particularly improving the characteristics of mechanical resistance of the shingles.
  • the second function is to secure the shingles together favorably during bulk transfer.
  • the shingles are at present assembled in bundles on a pallet, the pallets being themselves disposed in containers.
  • the bundles according to the invention optimize the good strength of the bundles, ensure the bundles a parallelepipedal external volume and thus increase the number of shingles that can be contained in one container.
  • the third function is to secure together desirably the shingles during the laying phase.
  • the laying phase is a phase at the workplace during which the roofers carry the bundles to the roofs, open the bundles and then fix the shingles one by one on their supports.
  • the bundle according to the invention has transport characteristics, good handling characteristics, characteristics of the protection of the shingles and of improved presentation.
  • An object of the invention is to provide improved bundling of shingles which desirably fulfills each of these phases, of treating, bulk transport and laying at the worksite and which as to each of these phases improves the bundles known to the prior art.
  • the prior art provides packaging for shingles.
  • This packaging takes the form of a bundle of shingles comprised by three columns, in its standard form two columns including 18 shingles in 1 column including 17 shingles.
  • This bundle now has a single hoop.
  • the bundles are also sometimes bundled in an indefinite number and this with a single hoop, the shingles being disposed without a particular direction with the thick sides and thin sides mixed, randomly arranged and not patterned.
  • the duration of treatment is long, and hence costly, and sometimes of little effect.
  • the shingles are at present forcibly banded with small spaces between the shingles so that the treatment products will desirably and efficaciously penetrate the wood.
  • the bundles of shingles must be treated for a long time so as to allow time for the product to impregnate the wood. There can result an irregularity in the treatment regions of the shingles with all the disadvantages that follow.
  • the bundling loses its effectiveness, giving rise to a great loss of time, as well as an undesirable loss of shingles.
  • the shingles are present in random directions and the roofer must continuously pay attention as well as effect a specific handling to present the shingle according to its good side.
  • the invention overcomes the defects of the prior art and provides bundling which has the following characteristics:
  • the shingles are disposed superposed over their width in one column. This column of shingles is then hooped.
  • the shingles are disposed superposed according to their width in one column, but not strictly superposed as to their length.
  • the bundle of shingles thus comprises only a single column of shingles of a width equal to the width of one shingle and a length greater than the length of one shingle. This column of shingles is then hooped.
  • the column of shingles comprises two sub-columns, a first portion of the shingles is entirely superposed on a first sub-column and a second portion of the shingles is strictly superposed on a second sub-column.
  • the two sub-columns are separated by a distance less than half the length of a shingle.
  • the shingles are thus all superposed one by one over at least one half of their length.
  • the shingles are disposed with their thick side outwardly of the bundle and their thin side inwardly of the bundle.
  • the thin side of the shingles is thus always protected against shock.
  • the bundle of shingles comprises 36 shingles. 18 shingles are disposed in a first sub-column and 18 other shingles are disposed in a second sub-column. According to one aspect, the shingles are disposed in regularly alternating pairs in the two sub-columns. The bundle thus has a regular and symmetrical geometric shape, and the roofer during laying has these shingles presented pairwise in the same direction. According to this aspect of the invention, the bundle of shingles is hooped with two hoops. The hoops are positioned about one-third of the length of the bundle.
  • the invention thus provides a bundle which has the following advantages:
  • the invention thus provides rapid bundling with manual packaging, or machine packaging, semi-automatic and automatic.
  • the hooping is thus easy and economical.
  • the treatment (by autoclave or by immersion) is easy and rapid.
  • the penetration of the product is facilitated by the spaces obtained due to the preparation of the bundle.
  • the shingles being disposed in pairs in bundle columns that do not overlap, leave a space for the product to impregnate the wood more easily.
  • the fact of bundling the assembly of shingles in a single and unique column of a bundle moreover permits presenting in contact with the product all the lateral sections of the shingles which was not possible in the prior art.
  • the bundle according to the invention permits by simple immersion a complete and total impregnation of each shingle.
  • the region of the shingle that is not to be covered by the overlying shingle is free from any obstacle for all the treatment product without opening the bundle.
  • the invention permits among other things a treatment of decoration of the painting type or the like such as with thick liquid, without having the need to open the bundle and permits continuous treatment.
  • the invention provides a bundle offering a saving of space in warehouses.
  • the shingles being bundled in a single column, external volume of the bundle has a strictly parallelepipedal shape. This is not the case in the case of bundling in several columns, because then the bundles can buckle.
  • the bundles of shingles can be palletized and hence stacked.
  • the invention requires hooping of the bundle with only 2 hoops. Handling by lifting machines such as a lift truck is simple and without risk.
  • the stackability of the bundles of shingles is unlimited and this without risk of crushing or deformation of the bundle.
  • the containerization is optimized and the number of shingles contained in one container is increased.
  • the presentation in a single column provides a center of gravity nearer the bearer (60 mm) than in the prior art.
  • the bundle does not deform.
  • the risk of collapse of the bundle is limited. Handling is facilitated and less subject to risk of shock because the bundle is smaller and more easily handled than in the prior art, and in the case of shock resists the shock. Gripping by storers, transporters and layers is facilitated.
  • the bundle according to the invention protects the thin edges of the shingle from shock because they are hooped in the middle of the bundle and hence not subject to shock.
  • the invention permits holding the bundle flat on the roof, thus rendering it stable and thus limiting the risk of the bundle falling.
  • the shingles are presented to him two by two in the same direction. The roofer immediately takes the shingles pairwise without being confused as to their direction. This aspect of the invention provides a saving of time for installation.
  • the weight and volume of a standard bundle permits shelving in a store and permits an acceptable arrangement for a user to carry the bundle and to put it in a truck which is not possible with the prior art.
  • a standard bundle of 36 shingles of a size 800 mm ⁇ 270 mm ⁇ 120 mm weighs about 10.8 kilograms.
  • the wood is also a resinous wood as cryptomeria, or hardwood such as tamarin, chestnut or teak.
  • FIG. 1 is a side view of the bundle according to the invention.
  • FIG. 2 is a top plan view of the bundle according to the invention.
  • FIG. 3 is a perspective view of a shingle.
  • FIG. 1 In FIG. 1 is shown a bundle ( 1 ) of shingles ( 2 , FIG. 3) seen from the side.
  • the bundle contains 36 shingles. All the shingles are superposed over their width and in a single column ( 20 ) of the bundle.
  • FIG. 1 there is shown for better visibility the shingles assembled pairwise. There are thus 9 pairs of shingles in a first sub-column of the bundle ( 5 ) disposed alternately in the bundle with 9 other pairs of shingles disposed in a second column ( 6 ) of the bundle.
  • the shingles have their thick sides outwardly of the bundle and the thinner side of their section inwardly of the bundle.
  • the bundle thus has a regular symmetrical shape that is perfectly parallelepipedal. Seen from the side, the shape of the bundle is toothed.
  • the two sub-columns of the bundle ( 5 , 6 ) are separated by a distance ( 7 ) of less than half the length of a shingle and more than a sixth of the length of the shingle.
  • the bundle is circled with two hoops ( 9 ).
  • FIG. 2 shows a top view of the bundle according to the invention.
  • the bundle in this view has a strictly rectangular shape. There is shown the first shingle ( 2 ) of the first sub-column of the bundle ( 5 ) and a visible portion of the first single ( 2 ′) of the second sub-column of the bundle ( 6 ).
  • FIG. 3 shows in perspective a beveled shingle ( 2 ).
  • the shingle ( 2 ) has the shape of a flat rectangular elongated tile of a length designated (L) and a width (I) less than the length (L).
