Benefits of technology

[0013]Another important object of the invention is to produce a covering device for roofs and the like which includes solar devices and the like, in particular solar collectors, which does not have drawbacks related to the connection thereof. Last but not least object of the invention is to devise a simple and inexpensive covering device for roofs and the like.

Problems solved by technology

These have the drawback of not integrating visually or functionally with roofs provided with conventional tiles, and therefore greatly detracting from the appearance thereof.
Said problems are particularly serious in cases in which a solar collector is to be fitted on the roof.
These pipes therefore require a complex system to convey the fluid which cannot be integrated in the single tiles.

Embodiment Construction

[0026]With reference to the Figures, the covering device according to the invention is indicated as a whole with the number 1.

[0027]It is suitable to realize at least part of a roof 50 or the like, and in particular the surface covering thereof.

[0028]The covering device 1 is therefore suitable to be placed on supporting beams or the like on which tiles of conventional type 51 can also be positioned. Moreover, it also preferably has an appearance similar to or identical to the appearance of these tiles of conventional type 51 and can preferably be integrated with tiles of conventional type 51, in particular with flat tiles.

[0029]The covering device 1 comprises, summarily, a central portion 2 and at least one peripheral portion 3, preferably two peripheral portions 3, positioned at the sides of the central portion 2.

[0030]It extends mainly along a plane defined by a longitudinal direction 1a and a transverse direction 1b, mutually perpendicular. A vertical direction 1c perpendicular t...

Related Applications[0001]This is a U.S. National Stage application according to 35 U.S.C. 371 of PCT / IB2009 / 006023 application filed on Jun. 27, 2008.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0002]2. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a covering device for roofs and the like of the type specified in the preamble of claim 1.[0003]2. Brief Description of the Prior Art[0004]Different covering devices for roofs and the like, such as tiles in particular, are currently known.[0005]Different apparatus, such as solar panels and solar collectors, suitable to store solar energy and positionable in particular on roofs or various coverings, are also known.[0006]These have the drawback of not integrating visually or functionally with roofs provided with conventional tiles, and therefore greatly detracting from the appearance thereof.[0007]Appearance is at times a fundamental requirement, for example in historic districts or in resorts in which it is obligatory to maintain a specific arch...
