Horizontal roofing roof structure

Abstract

Provided is a horizontal roofing roof structure need not include a decorative member, necessary for the conventional horizontal roofing roof structures in order to maintain water barrier property, while maintaining water barrier property. This horizontal roofing roof structure includes a first lateral roofing material, a second lateral roofing, and an inner gutter disposed below adjacent ends of the first lateral roofing material and the second lateral roofing material. The inner gutter includes a body part, a first seal that is provided on part, facing the first lateral roofing material, of the body part so as to extend along an end in a lengthwise direction of the first lateral roofing material and abuts a lower surface of the first lateral roofing material, a second seal that is provided on part, facing the second lateral roofing material, of the body part so as to extend along an end in a lengthwise direction of the second lateral roofing material and abuts a lower surface of the second lateral roofing material, and a third seal that is provided on part, between the first seal and the second seal, of the body part, and abuts both an end, on a upstream side in a roof pitch direction, of the first lateral roofing material and an end, on the upstream side in the roof pitch direction, of the second lateral roofing material.

Description

TECHNICAL FIELD[0001]The invention relates to horizontal roofing roof structures.BACKGROUND ART[0002]JP 2006-183265A (hereafter, referred to as patent literature 1) discloses a conventional horizontal roofing roof structure.[0003]In the horizontal roofing roof structure disclosed in the patent literature 1, a plurality of horizontally roofing cladding materials are connected to each other in a direction (a lateral direction) perpendicular to a roof pitch direction (an eave-ridge direction in the patent literature 1). A lengthwise direction of a horizontally roofing cladding material is substantially parallel to the lateral direction.[0004]An end in the lengthwise direction of the horizontally roofing cladding material is connected to an end in the lengthwise direction of an adjacent horizontally roofing cladding material. A throating plate is attached below the adjacent ends of the horizontally roofing cladding materials. A folded part, which is part bent towards a front surface, is...

AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

The present invention is about a new way to make a roof structure for a house that can keep out water and maintain its appearance. The roof structure includes three layers of roofing material and an inner gutter. The inner gutter has a body part with three seals that are meant to keep water out of the roof. There is a gap between the two layers of roofing material to allow the inner gutter to drain water. Each seal extends the whole length of the inner gutter. The technical effect of this invention is that it provides a more effective way to keep a roof dry and attractive.

Problems solved by technology

However, since the folded part and the flashing part have simply upwardly folded structures, when a large amount of rain water is introduced to the throating plate, a problem in a water barrier property might occur.

However, a roof structure disclosed in the patent literature 1 requires the decorative member, which causes an increase in the number of parts and thus makes it difficult to reduce cost, as well as takes more labor.
