Description

[Technical Field]

[0001] This invention relates to a rainwater treatment structure for the roof of a house or building, and in particular to a face-door integrated drainage system in which the face door section and the drainage section are integrally formed. [Background technology]

[0002] Traditionally, roof ridges and ridges have been required to be constructed to prevent birds, small animals, rainwater, and other intrusions through gaps. Furthermore, because the ridge is located at the top of a building, it is desirable to construct a ridge structure that is both sturdy and lightweight. To this end, wooden plate-like members known as crosspieces are placed on top of the roofing material as ridge underlayment, and the ridge members are then placed and secured on top of them. To prevent rainwater from entering, there are also devised designs for the ridge underlayment, such as those described in Patent Document 1 (see Figure 1), to prevent the ridge underlayment or sheathing boards from corroding due to capillary action between the ridge underlayment and the roofing material, or between the ridge underlayment and the ridge members, thereby weakening the strength of the ridge structure. [Prior art documents] [Patent documents]

[0003] [Patent Document 1] Patent Publication No. 2020-172764 (Page 8, Figure 1) Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0004] However, although the ridge underlayment in Patent Document 1 has a drainage section, in the case of so-called corrugated roofs, which have uneven surfaces on the roofing material used in factories and warehouses, for example, a separate shutter must be installed, and it is important to prevent rainwater from entering the inside of the ridge through the recesses on the surface of the roofing material (the gap between the ridge wrap and the surface of the roofing material).

[0005] For this reason, in conventional structures, it was necessary to attach a separate sheet and a waterproofing material to the joint between the roofing material and the ridge envelope, which made the construction complicated and prone to gaps at the joint, resulting in problems with waterproofing.Furthermore, if the overlapping or adhesion between the materials was insufficient, there was a risk of rainwater seeping in or peeling due to wind pressure.

[0006] This invention was made with an eye on such problems, and aims to provide a face door integrated water drain that enhances waterproofing by forming the face door material and water drain material as a single unit, and allows the components to be easily attached. [Means for solving the problem]

[0007] In order to solve the above problems, the face door integrated drain of this invention is, It is installed directly or indirectly on both the left and right sides of the ridge, or on the surface of the roofing material alone. The roof is made of a durable, durable material that is durable and can withstand temperatures up to 100°C. The drainage section comprises a flat section provided on the plate surface of the convex section of the roofing material, a right standing section and a left standing section provided at both ends of the flat section so as to stand upright relative to the plate surface, and a parallel section bent at a right angle to the left from the upper end of the right standing section, The face portion is characterized by comprising a U-shaped portion that is folded downward in a U-shape from the upper end of the left standing portion, and an extension portion that extends downward beyond the flat portion. According to this feature, the face and drain sections are formed as a single unit, eliminating the gaps that previously occurred at their joints, improving waterproofing. Furthermore, the installation of the components can be completed in one step, improving workability by shortening work time and reducing construction errors. Furthermore, the reduction in the number of components reduces costs and makes on-site inventory management easier.

[0008] The left end of the parallel portion is provided with a water return that is bent downward and to the right. This feature reliably prevents rainwater that has entered the drainage portion through gaps in the fastening screws or the like from seeping out above the parallel portion.

[0009] The extension is also characterized by a water return that is folded back in the upper right direction at the lower end. This feature makes it possible to prevent rainwater and the like from entering the right side of the extension portion along with a strong wind through the gap between the roof material and the lower end of the extension portion.

[0014] Figure 3 is a cross-sectional view showing the configuration of an embodiment in which the panel door-integrated flashing 10 according to the present invention is applied to a double-ridge roof. As shown in Figure 3, the configuration consists of a roofing (waterproof sheet) 16 attached to the top surface of a sheathing board 17 installed on rafters 19. A double-ridge structure consisting of left and right roof surfaces is formed at the ridge, and the panel door-integrated flashing 10 is installed between the left and right roof materials 15 and the ridge envelope 11. The roof material 15 uses a Yachiyo-ori fold 14 to prevent water leakage at the rising part of the roof.

[0015] FIG. 4 is a perspective view of an embodiment in which the face door-integrated gutter 10 of the present invention is applied to the double-ridge structure shown in FIG. 3, and the three-dimensional structure of the entire roof is clearly shown. In this perspective view, the tight fit between the convex portion 15a and concave portion 15b of the roof material 15 and the face door portion 2 of the face door integrated flashing 10, as well as the state of the upper covering by the ridge wrap 11, can be seen. In addition, the face door portion 2 is integrally formed to close the gap between the concave portion 15b of the roof material 15 and the ridge wrap 11, eliminating the need for a separate part for the face door material. The ridge wrap 11 is fixed to the face door integrated flashing 10 with fixing screws 12, and the face door integrated flashing 10 is set on the board surface of the convex portion 15a of the roof material 15 and is fixed by fixing screws 13 that penetrate all the way to the rafters 19.

The noshi flashing 20 is fixed between an exterior wall base material 22 and an exterior wall material 21, and is fixed to the face door-integrated flashing 10 using a set screw 12. As shown in the drawing, the exterior wall base material 22, a sheathing board 17 installed on rafters 19, a roofing (waterproof sheet) 16 attached to the top surface of the sheathing board 17, and a roof material 15 fixed on the roofing (waterproof sheet) 16, and the face door-integrated flashing 10 is installed on the plate surface of a protruding portion 15a of the roof material 15 and is fixed to the rafters 19 with a set screw 13.

[0017] FIG. 6 is a cross-sectional view showing the configuration of an embodiment in which the panel door-integrated flashing 10 according to the present invention is applied to the top of a shed roof. In this configuration, the roof structure is formed from the top in the order of roof material 15, roofing 16, and softwood plywood 18, and a ridge envelope 11' is provided at the top of the roof. The ridge envelope 11' has a shape that follows the one-way slope structure, and is fixed to the flashing 10 with fixing screws 12. The flashing 10 is installed on the surface of the convex portion 15a of the roof material 15, and is fixed by fixing screws 13 that penetrate all the way to the rafters 19. Even in the case of a gable roof, the flashing portion 2 is installed in the recess 15b of the roof material 15. At the edge of the roof, an arabesque pattern 23 is installed between the roofing material 15 and the softwood plywood 18.

[0018] Next, we will explain how to use the flashing 10. As shown in Figure 4, the flashing 10 is installed between the ridge panel 11 and the roof material 15. In this case, the flat panel 3 is placed on the surface of the convex portion 15a of the roof material 15, and the lower end of the extension portion 6 is placed in the concave portion 15b of the roof material 15. Therefore, during installation, notches are made with sheet metal scissors or the like at the joints between the convex portion 15a and the extension portion 6, and the flashing is fixed to the ridge panel 11 with fastening screws 12. The flat panel 3 of the flashing 10 and the convex portion 15a of the roof material 15 are also fixed with fastening screws 13 at their ends on the exterior wall side.

[0019] Although the embodiments of the present invention have been described above with reference to the drawings, the specific configuration is not limited to these embodiments, and the present invention also includes modifications and additions within the scope of the present invention that do not deviate from the gist of the present invention.

[0020] For example, while the above embodiment illustrates a form in which the material of the door-integrated drip edge 10 is galvalume steel, the present invention is not limited to this and may be made of, for example, stainless steel or aluminum alloy, which can further improve corrosion resistance, thereby providing a product suitable for use in coastal areas and humid environments.

[0021] Furthermore, in the above-mentioned embodiment, the shapes of the flat plate portion 3 and the extension portion 6 are shown, but the present invention is not limited to these shapes. For example, the dimensions of the flat plate portion 3 and the extension portion 6 may be adjusted appropriately to create shapes that suit various roof slopes, shapes of ridge envelopes 11, 11', shapes of roof material 15 (convex portion 15a and concave portion 15b), etc.

[0022] In addition, in the above embodiment, the form of the metal door-integrated drip edge 10 is illustrated, but for example, a water-repellent coating or weather-resistant paint may be applied to the surface of the metal door-integrated drip edge 10. This can improve long-term durability and ease of maintenance.

[0023] In addition, in the above embodiment, the shape of the flat plate portion 3 is exemplified, but for example, drainage holes, drainage grooves, or drainage slopes may be provided in the flat plate portion 3. This ensures drainage inside the roof and increases durability.

[0024] Furthermore, in the above embodiment, a form in which a water deflector 7 or a water deflector 8 is provided on the extension portion 6 or the parallel portion 9 is exemplified, but the present invention is not limited to this. For example, the water deflector 7 or the water deflector 8 may not be provided, and the tip portion of the extension portion 6 or the parallel portion 9 may be made in an inclined shape (the tip is cut at an angle), or a separate component for water deflection may be added.
