Description

[0001] The invention relates to a roof panel having a preferably rectangular base area with a covering area for covering a tile-free roof area and with two support areas for laying roof tiles, wherein the support areas are arranged on opposite sides of the covering area.

[0002] Furthermore, the roof panel has two webs projecting, preferably at right angles, over the base area, with a web being provided between each support area and the cover area.

[0003] Such a roof panel is known, for example, from DE 20 2024 100 540 U1. The content of DE 20 2024 100 540 U1 is incorporated in its entirety into this application, particularly with regard to the feasibility and / or possible embodiments of the invention.

[0004] A disadvantage of DE 20 2024 100 540 U1 is that a through-hole is provided for attachment to the supporting battens. The roof panel is attached to this through-hole via a nail or screw. This makes installation relatively complex, as a tool, such as a hammer or cordless screwdriver, must always be carried along.

[0005] It is therefore an object of the invention to improve a roof panel of the type mentioned at the outset so that assembly can be carried out without tools.

[0006] This problem is solved by the subject matter having the features of the independent claim.

[0007] According to the invention, the roof panel has a preferably rectangular base area.

[0008] The length can be, for example, between 10 cm and 100 cm, preferably between 40 cm and 50 cm, e.g., 45 cm. The width can be, for example, between 10 cm and 50 cm, preferably between 20 cm and 30 cm, e.g., 27 cm.

[0009] For example, the base surface can be flat or grooved.

[0010] The base area has a covering area for covering a tile-free roof area and two support areas for laying roof tiles.

[0011] The cover area can cover an area of ​​the roof which does not have any roof tiles, e.g. for the installation of a solar and / or photovoltaic module.

[0012] The roof panel is, in a sense, a roof replacement panel.

[0013] Preferably the coverage area is rectangular.

[0014] For example, the width of the coverage area can be between 10 cm and 20 cm, e.g. 16 cm.

[0015] The support areas can, for example, be rectangular. Preferably, the support areas are the same size and / or identical in design.

[0016] For example, the width of the support areas can be between 2 cm and 10 cm, e.g. 5 cm.

[0017] The support areas are arranged on opposite sides of the cover area.

[0018] Roof tiles can be placed on the support areas, securing the roof slab from above.

[0019] The roof slab has two webs that project, preferably at right angles, over the base area.

[0020] When assembled, the webs preferably protrude upwards or forwards.

[0021] For example, the height of the bars can be between 1 cm and 5 cm, e.g. 3 cm.

[0022] A bridge is provided between the support areas and the cover area.

[0023] A support area is followed by a web, then the cover area, another web and another support area.

[0024] Consequently, the support areas are separated from the cover area by the webs.

[0025] The bridges serve as windbreaks and prevent the penetration and / or collection of dirt.

[0026] Preferably, the webs are oriented parallel to each other and / or extend over the entire length of the roof panel.

[0027] The roof panel has at least one suspension section which projects, preferably at a right angle, over the base area and is provided on a short end side of a support area.

[0028] When assembled, the hanging section is provided on the upper front side.

[0029] The suspension section projects in the same direction as the webs, i.e. preferably upwards or forwards when assembled.

[0030] For example, the height of the hanging section can be between 0.5 cm and 5 cm, e.g. 1.5 cm.

[0031] The roof panel can be suspended via the suspension section, preferably on an adjacent roof tile and / or on a roof tile resting on the support area.

[0032] The roof panel can therefore be installed without tools.

[0033] Furthermore, the roof panel is automatically positioned correctly. For example, it rests flush against an overlying structure, such as a roof tile, a mounting rail, and / or a roof hook for a solar and / or photovoltaic module. This prevents the penetration of dirt and / or rainwater.

[0034] Preferably, the base surface comprises or consists of a metal material. The roof panel can therefore, for example, be a metal plate.

[0035] The webs and / or the suspension section can preferably also comprise or consist of a metal material. Alternatively or additionally, a plastic material, for example, is also conceivable.

[0036] Optionally, a sealing section can be provided on the lower end of the base surface opposite the suspension section, which is the lower end when installed. The sealing section can be made of, for example, foam, rubber, and / or a flexible metal material, e.g., lead. This allows for sealing and / or adaptation to an underlying roof tile.

[0037] Further developments of the invention can also be found in the dependent claims, the description and the accompanying drawings.

[0038] According to one embodiment, a suspension section is provided at each support area.

[0039] Preferably, the two suspension sections are of identical construction.

[0040] The roof panel can thus be attached to a roof tile on both sides. Alternatively, only one of the attachment sections can be used, depending on requirements. The roof panel is therefore versatile.

[0041] According to a further embodiment, the suspension section is plate-shaped.

[0042] A plate offers a comparatively large support surface when hanging on the roof tile.

[0043] Preferably, the suspension section is narrower than the width of the support area. This saves material.

[0044] The width can be between 1 cm and 5 cm, e.g. 3 cm.

[0045] For example, the hanging section can form a hanging nose.

[0046] According to a further embodiment, the suspension section is oriented at right angles to the webs.

[0047] A roof tile can therefore, for example, be at least partially framed on two sides.

[0048] For example, a gap can be provided between the suspension section and the adjacent bridge. This allows water to drain between them.

[0049] According to a further embodiment, the suspension section is designed as a bevel.

[0050] For example, an upper section of the support area can be bent and / or folded during production.

[0051] This makes production cost-effective.

[0052] According to a further embodiment, the base surface and the suspension section are formed in one piece.

[0053] This ensures a secure hold between the base surface and the hanging section.

[0054] Alternatively, the base area and the suspension section can also be subsequently connected to each other, e.g. welded, screwed and / or glued.

[0055] According to a further embodiment, the base surface and the webs are formed in one piece.

[0056] For example, the webs can be folded and / or beveled during production.

[0057] This ensures a secure hold between the base and the webs.

[0058] Alternatively, the base area and the webs can also be subsequently connected to each other, e.g. welded, screwed and / or glued.

[0059] According to a further embodiment, elevations are provided on the end regions of the support regions opposite the webs.

[0060] Preferably, the elevations extend over the entire length of the roof panel.

[0061] The surveys serve, for example, as a guide for rainwater.

[0062] The base surface and the elevations can preferably be formed in one piece.

[0063] For example, the elevations can be folded and / or beveled during production.

[0064] This ensures a secure hold between the base and the elevations.

[0065] Alternatively, the base area and the elevations can also be subsequently connected to each other, e.g. welded, screwed and / or glued.

[0066] According to a further embodiment, the cover area and the support areas are arranged in the same plane.

[0067] Alternatively, these areas can also be arranged on different levels, as described, for example, in DE 20 2024 100 540 U1.

[0068] According to a further embodiment, the base area is free of openings.

[0069] Due to the hanging section, it is not necessary for the base surface to have a hole for a nail or screw for installation.

[0070] The base surface is therefore sealed and no liquid can penetrate.

[0071] All aspects, embodiments, and features of the invention described here can be combined with each other, preferably independently of the specific embodiment in which they are mentioned. Preferably, all subject matter of the dependent claims can be combined with each other and with the subject matter of the independent claim.

[0072] In general, it should be noted that terms like "a" or "an" do not necessarily mean "exactly one" or "exactly one," although this is also possible. The terms "a" or "an" can therefore be understood as "at least or exactly one" or "at least or exactly one." The use of the singular preferably includes the presence of the components in the plural, and vice versa.

[0073] It is noted that "vorzugsweise" and "vorzugt" can be translated into English as "preferably." A feature introduced by "vorzugsweise" or "vorzugt" is purely optional, can be omitted, and does not constitute a limitation, for example, of the claims.

[0074] The invention is described below by way of example with reference to the drawings. Fig. 1 a perspective view of an embodiment of a roof panel according to the invention, and Fig. 2 a side sectional view of the roof panel according to Fig. 1, Fig. 3 an enlarged view of section B according to Fig. 2, Fig. 4 a top view of the roof panel according to Fig. 1, Fig. 5 a front view of the roof panel according to Fig. 1, Fig. 6 an enlarged view of section C according to Fig. 5, and Fig. 7 to 9 perspective views of an embodiment of a roof panel according to the invention in a partially assembled state.

[0075] First, it should be noted that the illustrated embodiments are purely exemplary in nature. Individual features can be implemented not only in the combination shown, but also individually or in other technically feasible combinations. For example, the features of one embodiment can be combined with features of another embodiment in any way. The number, width, shape, and / or position of the suspension sections is fundamentally arbitrary.

[0076] If a figure contains a reference symbol that is not explained in the immediately corresponding description, reference is made to the corresponding preceding or following explanations in the figure description. Thus, the same reference symbols are used for identical or comparable components in the figures and these are not explained again.

[0077] Fig. 1 shows a roof panel with a base area 10, e.g. rectangular and / or without openings.

[0078] The base area 10 has a preferably central covering area 12 for covering a tile-free roof area and two support areas 14 for laying roof tiles 16 (see Fig. 7 to 9).

[0079] The, for example rectangular, support areas 14 are arranged on opposite sides of the cover area 12.

[0080] Preferably, the support areas 14 and the cover area 12 are in the same plane.

[0081] A web 18 is provided between each support area 14 and the cover area 12. The cover area 12, together with the two webs 18, forms a drain for rainwater.

[0082] The webs 18 project, e.g. at right angles, over the base surface 10 and preferably extend over the entire length of the base surface 10.

[0083] A suspension section 20, e.g., plate-shaped, is provided on each of the short end faces of the support areas 14. The suspension sections 20 project in the same direction as the webs 18—that is, upwards or forwards in the assembled state.

[0084] The suspension sections 20 are oriented, for example, at right angles to the webs 18. Preferably, a certain distance is provided between the suspension sections 20 and the adjacent webs 18.

[0085] Elevations 22 are provided on the outer end areas of the support areas 14, i.e. the end areas which are opposite the webs 18.

[0086] The support areas 14 form a drain for rainwater with a web 18 and a raised area 22.

[0087] The roof panel is preferably axially symmetrical.

[0088] The webs 18, suspension sections 20, and elevations 22 are formed integrally with the base surface 10. For example, they can be folded and / or beveled.

[0089] Fig. 2 and Fig. Figure 3 shows a side sectional view of the roof panel. The suspension section 20 is beveled upwards.

[0090] The suspension section 20 can be spaced from the base surface 10. For example, the distance can be between 0.1 cm and 0.5 cm, e.g., 0.2 cm.

[0091] In Fig. 4 shows a top view of the roof panel.

[0092] Optionally, a fastening section 24 can be provided on the lower end face of the base surface 10 opposite the suspension sections 20 when mounted.

[0093] For example, a sealing section can be attached to the fastening section 24. For this purpose, the fastening section 24 can have, for example, a hook-shaped, bent tab that can be compressed to clamp the sealing section to it.

[0094] Fig. 5 and Fig. 6 show front views of the roof panel.

[0095] The elevations 22 can, for example, be folded.

[0096] In Fig. Figures 7 to 9 show the roof panel in a partially assembled state.

[0097] For better visibility, roof tiles 16 are only supported on one side of the roof panel. When fully assembled, roof tiles 16 are supported on both support areas 14.

[0098] The suspension section 20 is attached to an upper end face of the roof tile 16 and is thus securely held. Additional fixation, for example, to a roof batten using screws, is not necessary.

[0099] Assembly is extremely quick and easy, especially since no tools are required. List of reference symbols 10 floor space 12 Coverage area 14 Support area 16 roof tiles 18 jetty 20 Hanging section 22 Survey 24 Fastening section QUOTES CONTAINED IN THE DESCRIPTION
