• This module 28 comprises an assembly support 29 on which the wings 3 are arranged. from these support, these wings ensuring the function of proximal wings in the intermediate zone of the soul in Figure 12.
• FIG. 13 also shows, for each wing, a proximal clamp 31 and a distal clamp 32 in the form of both grooves in which will be embedded a double hook 16 (not shown), as well as a arm 33 which, when the module 28 is joined to the intermediate piece 22 in FIG. 12, will fit into the notch 27.
• This distal clamp is made in a support leg for the assembly support 29 whereas the proximal clamp is made so that its depth is at least equivalent to the thickness of the stem of a double hook.
• the position of the wings 3 of the module 28 may vary along the part 22 so as to change, if necessary, 1 'spacing between the distal wings 2 and the wings 3 proximal according to the distance between two adjacent battens to which the module 28 secured to the piece 22 must be fixed.
• the flange 10 of the piece 22 also shows an opening 34.
• This opening is intended for another embodiment of the arms 33 of the module 28.
• these arms 33 are provided on their outer longitudinal edges, that is to say on their edges not facing one another, nipples capable of snapping into these openings 34.
• the module 28 comprises an assembly support 29, wings 3 as well as arms 33 provided with a flange 35.
• FIG. 17, which illustrates the lower face of FIG. this module further shows that the proximal and distal clamps 31 are located in the extension of one another and merge into a single clamp.
• Such a module may be secured to the core 1 of an intermediate piece which comprises, as a retaining means, a folded longitudinal edge portion 10 as shown in FIG. 15. This portion, itself folded to give a configuration final L-shaped form a support 36.
• the arm 33 When joining the module to the core of the insert, as shown in Figure 14, the arm 33 is placed on the support 36 and is maintained thanks on the one hand to the assembly support 29 in abutment against the flange 10 and secondly the flange 35 itself abuts against the edge of the support 36
• the support 36 consists of a flange portion 10 folded under the core 1 of this piece.
• the intermediate part according to the invention has substantial advantages both in terms of sealing against the water which is allowed to flow over the roofing or to infiltrate by capillary action, as well as resistance to leakage. wind, the anchoring strength or the speed of installation.
• this piece can be used in connection with any shape and thickness of flat cover such as slate, flat tile or the like.
• the intermediate part according to the invention can find use in connection with different types of roof reinforcement (battens, battens, rafters), for example a frame of both wood and metal.
• roof reinforcement battens, battens, rafters
• the sealing it provides is perfect.
• this insert allows a roof covering installation three times faster compared to a traditional pose.
• the part according to the invention can be fixed to battens by implementing any fastening means known to date in the field of roof covering, for example screws, nails, hooks to be nailed or stapled and this , via several anchor points.
• the part according to the invention has a modular configuration in that the distance separating the distal wings of the proximal wings can be adapted according to the distance separating two adjacent battens or adjacent slats to which this part must be fixed.
• the use of the piece according to the invention also allows a gain of at least 50% cover material since the overlap area of two slates or flat tiles can be reduced by half. As a corollary, this gain of slates or flat tiles ensures a reduction in the weight of the roof covering and, consequently, a reduction in the weight of structural accessories such as rafters, battens or battens.
• the piece according to the invention ensures high resistance to wind and weather including storms and heavy rains. Because of the particular configuration of this one, a contact between the slates or flat tiles of partial covering can be avoided, which makes it possible to Ventilate the roof and prevent water infiltration by capillarity and its consequences such as the appearance of moss and mold.
• the piece according to the invention is completely invisible after its installation on battens even after minor adaptations for its application to left or right banks or valleys, for example after folding along its longitudinal axis according to the angle desired.
