22 Claims, 1 Drawing Figure MOUNTING ELEMENT AND METHOD FOR A LOOSELY LAID SYNTHETIC RESIN FILM AND ROOF CONSTRUCTION CONTAINING SAME This invention relates to an improvement in the mounting element for synthetic resin films loosely laid on abutting panels, e. g., thermal insulating panels for heat-insulated roof constructions which are not graveled (described in German Pat. application No. P 22 29 423.1), which mounting element is characterized in that the mounting element, as seen in cross section, has a T-shaped panel securing means or element and has a mounting flange unilaterally arranged at the base of the T at a right angle and to a prefabricated roof covering unit formed with the improved mounting element.
In the arrangement disclosed in the above-identified German applicationthe roof sheathing is generally attached to the mounting flange of the T-shaped element by cementing or with the use of high-temperature or solution welding. The mounting element achieves advantages by a secure fastening of the roof sheathing at desired intervals, and by a rapid installation of the roof. However, the use of the mounting element is limited to incorporation into heat-insulated roofs, which are built up on the roof.
Therefore, it is an object of the present invention to construct the insulation of a heat-insulated roof, with the use of the mounting element proposed in the German application, so that the assembly of the heatinsulated roof, as well as the roof sheathing, is simplified.
According to the invention, it is suggested to construct the above-described mounting element in such a manner that the mounting element is joined to a bottom structure of the roof to form a composite building component with heat insulation being foamed thereon.
The heat insulation is foamed onto the bottom structure up to about the upper edge of the T-shaped element member, so that the uppersurface of the T- profile member remains uncovered by the foamed heat insulation.
The mounting element is incorporated during the manufacturing process in the production of a prefabricated, self-supporting roof covering unit provided with foamed heat insulation, and thus is a composite building component of the unit. The mounting element can be bonded to thebottom structure by the adhesive strength and shear strength of the foam.
In order to improve the bond of the mounting element in the foam, the mounting element can be provided with perforations and/or with additional profiling in the area of the contact surface with the foam.
The curing of the foam, preferably polyurethane foam, which takes place after the application of the mounting element by placing a foamable material on the bottom structure and foaming this material, has the effect that essentially all parts of the mounting element are firmly surrounded by the thus-formed plastic foam and are secured against displacement thereby; the foam only leaves the upper connecting flange vacant or uncovered.
Thus, the invention provides a prefabricated roof covering unit consisting of a bottom structure, a heat insulation, and a mounting element for the roof sheathing, having substantial advantages, residing in that the prefabrication can be more accurately controlled, the components of the heat-insulated roof are joined to- 2 gether more advantageously, and the insulating characteristics of the heat insulation can be preselected by the thickness, type, pore size, etc., of the foam material.
The roof covering unit is prefabricated as a largearea element of the heat insulated roof as a composite part and installed on the roof structure as a unitary structure.
The position ofthe mounting element is fixed without having to execute time-consuming measuring operations on the roof. Also, the roof can be rapidly assembled from the prefabricated components.
The commercially available roofing panels can be used as the roof sheathing by a suitable selection of the spacings of the mounting elements from one another, thus reducing the number of connection seams as compared to elements where the roof sheathing is applied during the prefabrication. I
It is also possible to form the mounting flange of the mounting element on both sides of the T-shaped portion.
The mounting element, as further described in the German application heretofore noted, can consist of one or several parts, so that several heights of the mounting element can be chosen by the insertion of the thickened portions of the web of the T-shaped element into the mounting flange depending on which foam height is intended.
However, for purposes of the foamed roof structure, one-part or integral mounting elements are preferred.
In case of an appropriate foam quality with regard to shear strength and adhesive strength at the contact surfaces, the mounting element can be constructed so that recesses in the web or the T-shaped element and/or additional profiling in the foam-bonding zones of the mounting element, result in such a strong bonding effect that the mounting element need not be fastened to the bottom structure. The selection of, for example, trapezoidal sheets with undercut portions for the bottom structure likewise results in an improved bonding effect.
The mounting element consists advantageously of a synthetic resin of the same or a similar type as the synthetic resin film used as the roof sheathing, or it is coated with such a material.
As the bottom structure for the heat-insulated roof structure, it is possible to use any desired materials which are load-bearing and preferably lightweight. Advantageously, these materials are profiled metal sheets, especially metal sheet elements having a trapezoidal cross section, or also correspondingly profiled structural components made from reinforced synthetic resins, especially resins provided with glass fiber reinforcing inserts or similar features.
It is possible to provide a separating layer between the heat insulation and the roof sheathing, for example an additionally insulating or flame propagationretarding, large-area layer consisting of, for example, glass fiber mats, asbestos fiber panels, or similar materials. This separating layer can optionally be installed after applying the foamable material, prior to the foaming step, and can thereby serve as an upper mold wall during the foaming of the heat insulation, which wall remains permanently in the roof structure. I
The foam will be produced generally in the plant, an in special cases, for example when building a large series of structures, at the building site.
During the manufacture ofthe roof elements, the spacing of the mounting elements is determined so that, for example, about 500 mm. is provided in the marginal area, and about 1000 mm. in the extension of the roof area'so that the roof seal is not overstressed, depending on the force exerted by wind suction and other effects.
The mounting elements can be attached to the bottom structure by means of rivets, blind rivets, screws, or similar parts, or by cementing, welding, and the like.
The spacing of the mounting element at the mounting flange is dependent on the construction and quality of the synthetic foam material, since the adhesion within the foam is a contributory factor in the transmission of the wind suction forces into construction. In borderline cases, it is possible to omit any fastening to the bottom structure, for example in the above described flush anchoring of the foam of the heat insulation.
ln.the drawing, the figure shows a heat-insulated roof construction with heat insulation produced by foaming a synthetic foam material on a profiled bottom struc- .ture, with the material essentially surrounding the mounting element, and with a separating layer applied thereon and a superimposed, loosely laid roof sheathing of synthetic resin film such as a PVC film.
As shown, la denotes the uncovered connecting flange and lb denotes the mounting flange of the mounting element 2 which is T-shaped in cross section. The mounting element is made ofa soft PVC or an elastomer such as butyl rubber. The foamed heat insulation 3 is made of polystyrene, polyurethane or phenol resin foam and is limited on the topside by a separating layer 5 made of, for example, glass fiber mat and provided in this example and disposed underneath the connecting flange, and on the bottom side, the insulation is foamed flush into the profile of a trapezoidal sheet 6 which forms the bottom structure of the roof construction. The loosely laid roof sheathing 4 of film webs is welded watertight to the mounting element by solution welding at 7.
While the novel embodiments of the invention have been described, it will be understood that various omissions, modifications and changes in these embodiments may be made by one skilled in the art without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention.
