Abstract

Two-part cable entry for tiled roofs, consisting of a lower part (1) and an upper part (2). The lower part (1) rests on a roof tile (3), and the upper part (2) is inserted from above after the cables (8) have been inserted. This creates a secure cable entry. This is covered from above by a notched roof tile (4).

Description

Technical Field:The invention relates to a device for the secure passage of cables through a brick roof, in particular for photovoltaic installations or similar electrical installations.Prior Art:In conventional methods for cable passage through a brick roof, existing bricks often have to be replaced by special cable passage bricks. This is costly and not durable. Since existing and intact bricks must be disposed of. Alternatively, provisional or insufficiently sealed solutions will be used. This can lead to an insecure laying of the cables, an increased risk of mechanical damage or a reduced weathering resistance.Object of the invention:The invention is intended to provide a simple, safe and weather-resistant means for passing cables through a brick roof. In this case, the assembly should be possible without complex tools, and the cables should be reliably protected against mechanical influences even over the long term.Solution of the Problem:The invention relates to a two-part cable duct made of UV-resistant plastic, which has been developed especially for mounting in brick roofs. The brick must be unlatched for this purpose in order to create space for the cable feedthrough. The device consists of a lower part and an upper part, which together form a closed cable feedthrough.Installation steps:1. The lower part is placed on the lower brick. Depending on the brick shape, this has to be latched in this region--FIG. 1 2 The cable is inserted into the provided guide--FIG. 3 3 The upper part is inserted from above and locked--FIG. 2 4 The cable guide is provided with a circumferential seal--FIG. 4 5 The upper brick is unlatched and installed in the passage region, so that a secure and weather-resistant installation is ensured. 5Advantages of the Invention:• Simple and Quick Installation without Special Tool• Secure and weather resistant cable routing• Available in various embodiments depending on cable count and ground requirement• The L-shape of the lower part prevents the cable feedthrough from becoming hooked to the lower brick and prevents the cable feedthrough from slipping out• Made of UV-resistant plastic for a long lifetimeTechnical Specifications:• Two-part parts• Material: UV resistant plastic• All-round seal• Dimensions: Depending on the number of cables and cable cross sectionList of reference characters1 Lower part 2 Upper part 3 Lower roof tile 4 Upper roof tile (notched out) 5 Hooks on the lower part 6 Locking on both sides between upper and lower part 7 All-round seal 8 Cable

Claims

Two-part cable feedthrough for brick roofs, comprising a lower part (1) and an upper part (2), wherein the lower part (1) rests on a roof brick (3) and the upper part (2) is inserted from above after the cables (8) have been inserted.
