Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to a fixture for tiled roofs used when an object to be attached is mounted on a tiled roof, a curing set for tiled roofs including this fixture for tiled roofs and a curing sheet, and a method for curing a tiled roof using this curing set for tiled roofs.

Background Art

[0002] Tiles on a tiled roof may be blown off by a typhoon or the like, or collapse and fall due to an earthquake or the like. In such cases, an emergency measure is usually taken to cure the damaged portion of the tiles and its surrounding area with a curing sheet so as to prevent rainwater from entering the interior of the building.

[0003] In such curing of a tiled roof, it is necessary to prevent the curing sheet from being blown away by wind, and in many cases, a method is adopted in which the curing sheet is prevented from being blown away by a weight such as a sandbag. For example, in the curing sheet (emergency curing sheet 1) of Patent Document 1, as described in FIG. 5 and the like of the same document, pocket portions 5 are provided on the left and right of the portion that covers the ridge portion A of the tiled roof, and a weight (water-filled bag 20 or the like) can be stored in this pocket portion 5.

Summary of the Invention

Problems to be Solved by the Invention

[0005] However, using weights to prevent protective sheets from being blown away requires considerable effort to carry the weights up to the roof. In this regard, Patent Document 1 describes how using water (water-filled bags) drawn up to the roof with a hose can reduce the effort required to carry the weights up. However, water-filled bags may become ineffective as weights if they are torn by flying debris, etc. Furthermore, if weights are used, there is a risk that the protective sheets will be blown away if there is a wind strong enough to move the weights.

[0006] The present invention was made to solve the above problems and provides a roofing mounting device that is easy to carry and can securely attach protective sheets and other items to be attached to a roof tile. Another object of the present invention is to provide a roofing protection set for roof tile that includes this roofing mounting device and protective sheets. Furthermore, another object of the present invention is to provide a method for protecting a roof tile using this roofing protection set for roof tile. [Means for solving the problem]

[0007] The above issues are, A roofing attachment device used when attaching an object to be attached (for example, a protective sheet) to a tiled roof where the edges of one tile overlap the upper surface of the edge of another tile, A hooking portion for hooking onto the edge of the aforementioned tile, A mounting section for attaching the object to be attached, A connecting part that connects the latching part and the mounting part. Equipped with, The connecting portion is inserted into the gap between the overlapping portion of the first tile and the other tile from the tip side where the latching portion is provided, so that the latching portion can be latched onto the edge of the first tile. A roofing fixture characterized by This is solved by providing [a solution].

[0008] The roof tile mounting bracket of the present invention has a simple structure and can be made compactly. For example, it can be carried onto a roof tile by putting it in a trouser pocket. Furthermore, since the connecting part of the roof tile mounting bracket of the present invention is inserted between one tile and another tile, and the latching part latches onto the edge of the first tile, the latching part is less likely to come off the edge of the first tile, and the object to be mounted can be securely attached to the roof tile. Moreover, although roof tile is usually made up of tiles arranged vertically and horizontally, the roof tile mounting bracket of the present invention can be installed in the gaps between adjacent tiles in the vertical direction and in the gaps between adjacent tiles in the horizontal direction. For example, the roof tile mounting bracket of the present invention can be installed in the vertical and horizontal directions according to the shape of the object to be mounted (e.g., protective sheet) (along its periphery). Thus, objects of various shapes can be mounted at desired positions on a roof tile.

[0009] In the roofing fixture of the present invention, it is preferable to make the fastening portion hook-shaped. This is because if the fastening portion is merely fastened to the edge of the first tile, there is a risk that the fastening portion will easily slip sideways (slip along the edge of the first tile). However, by making the fastening portion hook-shaped and hooking (piercing) its tip onto the end face of the first tile, it is possible to make the fastening portion less likely to slip sideways.

[0010] In the roofing fixture of the present invention, the latching portion may be formed in a three-dimensionally expanding shape (for example, radially). However, since the gap between one tile and the other tile is usually very narrow, if the latching portion is formed in a three-dimensionally expanding shape, it may become difficult to insert the latching portion into the gap. For this reason, it is preferable to form the latching portion in a two-dimensional shape. As a result, as shown in Figure 3-1(a) below, when inserting the latching portion into the gap, it is possible to insert it smoothly by laying the latching portion flat (sideways). Furthermore, when pushing in the latching portion in a flat (sideways) position and the latching portion reaches the back of the edge of the first tile, as shown in Figure 3-2(c) below, it is possible to latch the latching portion to the edge by raising the latching portion to an upright position (downward). Incidentally, when turning the latching portion sideways or downward, it is necessary to rotate the connecting portion inserted into the gap. However, if the connecting part has a bent or folded structure, it may become difficult to rotate the connecting part in a narrow gap. For this reason, it is preferable to form the connecting part in the shape of a rod with a roughly circular cross-section. This allows the connecting part to rotate smoothly even in the narrow gap.

[0011] In the roof tile mounting device of the present invention, it is preferable to provide a contact portion that abuts against the end face of the other tile when the connecting portion is inserted into the gap between one tile and the other tile to a predetermined position, thereby preventing the connecting portion from going any further in. This prevents the roof tile mounting device of the present invention from being completely inserted into the gap. Furthermore, even if the roof tile mounting device of the present invention is pulled in the direction of insertion of the connecting portion, the contact portion abuts against the end face of the other tile and can withstand the pulling force. On the other hand, when the roof tile mounting device is pulled in the direction opposite to the insertion direction of the connecting portion, the latching portion latches onto the edge of the first tile and can withstand the pulling force. Thus, the roof tile mounting device of the present invention is designed to withstand pulling forces from two directions.

[0012] In the roof tile mounting device of the present invention, it is preferable that the mounting portion has a pressing portion for pressing against the upper surface of the edge of the other tile. As a result, as shown in Figure 4(a) below, the edge of the other tile is sandwiched between the connecting portion and the pressing portion, making it more difficult for the roof tile mounting device of the present invention to come off through the gap. Furthermore, if the latching portion is formed in a two-dimensional shape and the connecting portion is formed in a rod shape with a substantially circular cross-section, there is a risk that the latching portion may come off the edge of the first tile if the connecting portion rotates unintentionally. However, the presence of the pressing portion prevents the connecting portion from rotating unintentionally and, as a result, prevents the latching portion from coming off. When a pressing portion is provided, it is preferable that the mounting position, which is the position where the object to be attached is attached, is provided on the pressing portion. As a result, the mounting position is located on the upper surface of the other tile, making it easy to attach and detach the object to be attached. [Effects of the Invention]

[0013] As described above, the present invention makes it possible to provide a roofing mounting device that is easy to carry and can securely attach protective sheets and other items to be attached to a roof tile. It is also possible to provide a roofing protection set for roof tile that includes this roofing mounting device and protective sheets. Furthermore, it is possible to provide a method for protecting a roof tile using this roofing protection set for roof tile. [Brief explanation of the drawing]

[0014] [Figure 1] This diagram shows how a tiled roof has been protected using a protective kit for tiled roofs. [Figure 2] This is a perspective view of a mounting bracket for a tile roof. [Figure 3-1] This diagram shows the first part of the procedure for installing roof tile mounting hardware onto a roof tile. [Figure 3-2] This diagram shows the second half of the procedure for installing roof tile mounting hardware onto a roof tile. [Figure 4] This diagram shows how protective sheets are attached to roofing fixtures installed on a tiled roof. [Figure 5](a) is a side view of the fixture for tiled roofs in the present embodiment, and (b) is a side view of the fixture for tiled roofs in a form different from the present embodiment. [Figure 6] This is a view of the tiled roof, the fixture for tiled roofs, and the curing sheet of Figure 1, as viewed from the direction of arrow A6. [Figure 7] (a) is a diagram showing another mounting mode of the curing sheet in the fixture for tiled roofs, and (b) is a diagram showing a state where the fixture for tiled roofs is installed on the overlapping portion of relatively thick tiles. [Mode for Carrying Out the Invention]

[0015] The fixture for tiled roofs of the present invention and the curing set for tiled roofs using the same will be described more specifically with reference to the drawings. However, the configuration described below is merely a preferred embodiment, and the technical scope of the fixture for tiled roofs and the curing set for tiled roofs of the present invention is not limited to the configuration described below. The fixture for tiled roofs and the curing set for tiled roofs of the present invention can be appropriately modified within a range that does not impair the gist of the invention.

[0016] 1. Curing Set for Tiled Roofs Figure 1 is a diagram showing a state in which a tiled roof is cured using the curing set for tiled roofs of the present embodiment. As shown in Figure 1, the curing set for tiled roofs of the present embodiment includes a curing sheet 100 and a fixture 1 for tiled roofs for attaching the curing sheet 100 to the tiled roof 200. As is clear from the enlarged view in Figure 1, the fixture 1 for tiled roofs is compact and easy to carry, so compared with methods such as using weights to make the curing sheet 100 less likely to be blown away, the physical burden on workers can be greatly reduced.

[0017] As shown in the enlarged view in Figure 1, the roof tile mounting bracket 1 is installed (partially inserted) in the gap α between two overlapping roof tiles 201. This makes it difficult for the roof tile mounting bracket 1 to come off the roof tile 200, and allows the protective sheet 100 to be securely attached to the roof tile 200. The protective sheet 100 can also be attached directly to the roof tile mounting bracket 1, but in this embodiment, from the viewpoint of ease of attachment, it is attached to the roof tile mounting bracket 1 via a connecting member 40 such as a cable tie.

[0018] The protective sheeting kit for tile roofs may include a protective sheet 100 and a mounting bracket 1 for tile roofs, as well as a sheet storage bag with a carrying strap (not shown). By carrying the sheet storage bag containing the protective sheet 100 on one's back and climbing onto the tile roof 200, the protective sheet 100 can be safely carried onto the tile roof 200 with both hands free. After protecting the tile roof 200, it is also possible to place any damaged tile fragments, etc., into the sheet storage bag and descend from the tile roof 200.

[0019] 2. Mounting hardware for tile roofs 2.1 Overview Figure 2 is a perspective view of the roof tile mounting bracket 1. This roof tile mounting bracket 1 comprises a hooking part 10, an attachment part 20, and a connecting part 30. The hooking part 10 is a part for hooking (hooking) onto a predetermined location on the roof tile 200. The attachment part 20 (attachment position 20a) is a part for attaching the object to be attached (in this embodiment, a protective sheet 100). The connecting part 30 is a part that connects the hooking part 10 and the attachment part 20.

[0020] In this embodiment, the latching portion 10 is formed in a substantially planar shape (approximately parallel to the yz plane in the xyz Cartesian coordinate system shown in Figure 2). This makes it easier to insert the latching portion 10 into the gap α between two overlapping roof tiles 201, as will be explained in detail later.

[0021] Furthermore, in this embodiment, the mounting portion 20 has a contact portion 21 and a pressing portion 22, and a mounting position 20a, which is the position for attaching the protective sheet 100, is provided on the tip side of the pressing portion 22. The contact portion 21 and the pressing portion 22 will be described in detail later with reference to Figure 5(a) and the like.

[0022] 2.2 Installation method on tile roofs The following describes the procedure for attaching the roof tile mounting bracket 1 shown in Figure 2 to the roof tile 200 as shown in Figure 1. In a typical roof tile 200, the tiles 201 are arranged in the left-right direction A1 and the up-down direction A2, as shown in Figure 1. As shown in the enlarged view in Figure 1, two adjacent tiles 201 are positioned with their edges overlapping. Specifically, the left edge of the right tile 201 rests on the upper surface (front side) of the right edge of the left tile 201. Similarly, two adjacent tiles 201 are positioned with their edges overlapping. Specifically, the lower edge of the upper tile 201 rests on the upper surface (front side) of the upper edge of the lower tile 201. Hereinafter, of two adjacent tiles 201, the tile 201 positioned on the left or lower side will be referred to as tile 201a, and the tile 201 positioned on the right or upper side will be referred to as the other tile 201b.

[0023] Figures 3-1(a),(b) and 3-2(c),(d) illustrate the procedure for installing the roof tile mounting bracket 1 on a roof tile 200. The roof tile mounting bracket 1 can be installed on the overlapping portion of one tile 201a and another tile 201b on the roof tile 200 by following the procedure below.

[0024] First, the connecting portion 30 of the roof tile mounting fixture 1 is inserted into the gap α between one tile 201a and the other tile 201b, starting from the end where the latching portion 10 is provided. At this time, as shown in Figure 3-1(a), the latching portion 10, which is formed in a substantially planar (two-dimensional) shape, is laid flat (approximately parallel to the first tile 201a), making it easier to insert the latching portion 10 into the gap α between the tiles 201.

[0025] In this state, as shown in Figure 3-1(b), the connecting part 30 is inserted into the gap α between one tile 201a and the other tile 201b from the tip side where the latching part 10 is provided. The tile roof mounting fixture 1 is then pushed into the gap α, and when the latching part 10 reaches the far end of the edge of the one tile 201a, the connecting part 30 is rotated around the pivot point as shown in Figure 3-2(c) to raise the latching part 10 to an upright position. At this time, the latching part 10 is facing downwards. In this state, the tile roof mounting fixture 1 is pulled in the pulling direction A3, and the latching part 10 is latched onto the edge of the one tile 201a as shown in Figure 3-2(d). This allows the tile roof mounting fixture 1 to be installed in the overlapping portion between the one tile 201a and the other tile 201b. The tile roof mounting fixture 1 can be installed on the tile roof 200 with this simple operation. Alternatively, as shown in Figure 3-2(d), instead of pulling the roof tile mounting bracket 1 in the pulling direction A3, the roof tile mounting bracket 1 may be pushed further in from the state shown in Figure 3(c) to clamp the edge of the other tile 201b between the pressing portion 22 and the connecting portion 30 of the mounting portion 20. In this way, the roof tile mounting bracket 1 can be stably installed in the overlapping portion between one tile 201a and the other tile 201b.

[0026] The above describes the procedure for installing the roof tile mounting bracket 1 on the overlapping portion of adjacent tiles 201 in the vertical direction A2 (see Figure 1). However, the same procedure can be used to install the roof tile mounting bracket 1 on the overlapping portion of adjacent tiles 201 in the horizontal direction A1 (see Figure 1). Therefore, as shown in Figure 1, the roof tile mounting bracket 1 can be installed at multiple locations along the periphery of the protective sheet 100 on the roof tile 200. This allows the periphery of the protective sheet 100 to be attached to the roof tile 200 at predetermined intervals. Consequently, wind is less likely to enter between the protective sheet 100 and the roof tile 200, making it less likely for the protective sheet 100 to be blown away by the wind. Furthermore, since the roof tile mounting bracket 1 can be installed at any desired location on the roof tile 200 (locations with gaps α), it is possible to appropriately attach protective sheets 100 of various shapes and dimensions to the roof tile 200.

[0027] 2.3 Method of attaching the object to be attached (protective sheet) Figure 4 shows how a protective sheet 100 is attached to a roof tile mounting fixture 1 installed on a tile roof 200. Figure 4(a) shows the case where the protective sheet 100 is positioned on one tile 201a side relative to the roof tile mounting fixture 1 (for example, one of the roof tile mounting fixtures 1a installed on the right side of the roof tile roof 200 in Figure 1), and Figure 4(b) shows the case where the protective sheet 100 is positioned on the other tile 201b side relative to the roof tile mounting fixture 1 (for example, one of the roof tile mounting fixtures 1c installed on the left side of the roof tile roof 200 in Figure 1). As already mentioned, in this embodiment, the protective sheet 100 is attached to the roof tile mounting fixture 1 (mounting position 20a) via a connecting member 40 such as a cable tie.

[0028] As shown in Figure 4(a), when the tile roof mounting bracket 1 installed on the tile roof 200 is pulled in the direction A3 (pulling direction) by the protective sheet 100 to pull the tile roof mounting bracket 1 out of the gap α between the tiles 201, the hooking part 10 catches on the edge of one tile 201a, so it can withstand the pulling. Also, as shown in Figure 4(b), when the tile roof mounting bracket 1 is pulled in the direction A4 (pushing direction) to push it into the gap α between the tiles 201, the contact part 21 of the mounting part 20 comes into contact with the edge of another tile 201b, so it can withstand the pulling. In addition, since the connecting part 30 of the tile roof mounting bracket 1 is positioned in the gap α between one tile 201a and another tile 201b, it can withstand being pulled in the direction normal to the tile roof 200. Thus, although the tile roof mounting bracket 1 can be easily attached to the tile roof 200, once attached, it can withstand pulling forces from various directions.

[0029] 2.4 Latch part Figure 5(a) is a side view of the roofing fixture 1. The hooking portion 10 is not particularly limited in shape as long as it can be hooked onto the edge of one tile 201a. However, if the hooking portion 10 is shaped such that its side surface abuts against the end surface of one tile, for example, it may become easier for the hooking portion 10 to move laterally in direction A5 (see Figure 3-2(d)) (it may slide sideways). For this reason, as shown in Figure 5(a), it is preferable to make the hooking portion 10 hook-shaped so that its tip abuts against the end surface of one tile 201a. This ensures that the tip of the hooking portion 10 firmly hooks onto the end surface of one tile 201a, making it less likely to slide sideways.

[0030] Furthermore, it is preferable that the tip of the hook-shaped latching portion 10 protrudes in the positive y-axis direction (the direction from the side where the latching portion 10 is located toward the side where the mounting portion 20 is located), as shown in the enlarged view in Figure 5(a). This causes the portion of the latching portion 10 that protrudes in the positive y-axis direction to abut against the end face of one tile 201a, making the latching portion 10 even less likely to slip laterally. In this embodiment, the hook-shaped latching portion 10 is formed by a curved portion 11 on the base end side (the side connected to the connecting portion 30) and a straight portion 12 on the tip side, with the edge portion P1 of the straight portion 12 (the corner portion formed by the side surface and the tip surface) protruding in the positive y-axis direction. This causes the edge portion P1 of the straight portion 12 to abut against the end face of one tile 201a, making the latching portion 10 less likely to slip laterally. Furthermore, by providing a curved portion 11 in the latching portion 10 (curving the space between the connecting portion 30 and the straight portion 12), when the roof tile mounting fixture 1 is pulled in the pulling direction A3 (see Figure 4(a)), the stress on the curved portion 11 is distributed evenly, making the latching portion 10 less prone to deformation.

[0031] The distance D by which the latching portion 10 protrudes from the connecting portion 30 (overhang distance) is not particularly limited. However, if the overhang distance D is too small, the engagement with the end face of one tile 201a will be shallow, and the latching portion 10 may easily come off. For this reason, the overhang distance D of the latching portion 10 is preferably 1 mm or more, and more preferably 3 mm or more. On the other hand, if the overhang distance D of the latching portion 10 is too large, the latching portion 10 may interfere with a structure below one tile 201a and damage that structure. Since the thickness of a typical tile 201 is about 10 to 20 mm, the overhang distance D of the latching portion 10 is preferably 20 mm or less, and more preferably 12 mm or less. In this embodiment, the overhang distance D of the latching portion 10 is set to about 8 mm.

[0032] 2.5 Mounting section As shown in Figure 5(a), the mounting portion 20 in this embodiment comprises a contact portion 21 and a pressing portion 22, and the mounting position 20a, where the protective sheet 100 is attached, is located on the tip side of the pressing portion 22 (opposite the end that contacts the contact portion 21). However, the location of the mounting position 20a is not limited to the tip side of the pressing portion 22, but can be any location where the protective sheet 100 and connecting member 40 can be easily attached. In this respect, as shown in Figure 4(b), the pressing portion 22 is located on the upper surface side of other tiles 201b, so it is preferable to provide the mounting position 20a at any location on this pressing portion 22, as this makes it easier to attach the protective sheet 100 and the like to the mounting position 20a without other tiles 201b getting in the way.

[0033] The mounting portion 20 may have only one mounting position for attaching the protective sheet 100, or it may have two or more mounting positions. In this embodiment, in addition to mounting position 20a, as shown in Figure 7(a) below, a portion composed of the mounting portion 20 and the connecting portion 30 functions as a mounting position (mounting position 20b).

[0034] The shape of the mounting position 20a is not particularly limited and varies depending on the shape of the object to be attached and the intended mounting method. In this embodiment, the mounting position 20a is made annular, and the connecting member 40 can be passed through the hole formed thereby. This prevents the connecting member 40 from coming off the mounting position 20a no matter which direction it is pulled. However, the mounting position 20a can also be made hook-shaped, for example. In this case, not only is it possible to attach the protective sheet 100 to the roof tile mounting fixture 1 via the connecting member 40, but it is also possible to attach (hook) the protective sheet 100 directly to the roof tile mounting fixture 1. Furthermore, by making the mounting position 20a hook-shaped, it is possible to attach the protective sheet 100 to the mounting position 20a in a way that makes it easy to remove.

[0035] As shown in Figure 4(b), the contact portion 21 is the part that comes into contact with the end face of the other tile 201b when the connecting portion 30 is pulled in the pushing direction A4 and enters the gap α to a predetermined position, thereby preventing the connecting portion 30 from going any further in. In this embodiment, the contact portion 21 is provided so as to be substantially perpendicular to the connecting portion 30. This makes it possible for the end face of the other tile 201b to be firmly supported by almost the entire area of ​​the contact portion 21.

[0036] The length of the contact portion 21 varies depending on the thickness of the roof tile 201 and is not particularly limited. However, if the contact portion 21 is too short, it will be difficult to firmly receive the end face of the roof tile 201, and conversely, if it is too long, the roof tile mounting fixture 1 may become bulky and difficult to carry. For this reason, the length of the contact portion 21 is preferably in the range of 5 to 30 mm, and more preferably in the range of 10 to 20 mm. In this embodiment, the length of the contact portion 21 is set to approximately 15 mm.

[0037] The pressing portion 22 is a part for pressing down on the upper surface of the edge of other tiles 201b. In this embodiment, the pressing portion 22 is provided extending in approximately the same direction as the connecting portion 30. As a result, the pressing portion 21, together with the connecting portion 30, clamps down on other tiles 201b. Therefore, the tile roof mounting fixture 1 is made even more difficult to come out of the gap α between the tiles 201. Furthermore, when the tile roof mounting fixture 1 is installed on the tile roof 200 and the protective sheet 100 is attached to the tile roof mounting fixture 1, there is a risk that the tile roof mounting fixture 1 may rotate unintentionally due to the tension of the protective sheet 100 (the latching portion 10 may be in a lying position (see Figure 3-1(b)) or an upright position (see Figure 3-2(c))). However, by pressing down on the upper surface of other tiles 201b with the pressing portion 22, it is possible to prevent the tile roof mounting fixture 1 from rotating unintentionally.

[0038] The shape of the pressing portion 22 is not particularly limited, and for example, it can be a straight line approximately parallel to the connecting portion 30. However, in this case, if the thickness of the other tile 201b is only slightly greater than the distance between the pressing portion 22 and the connecting portion 30, the other tile 201b may not fit between them, and the pressing portion 22 and the connecting portion 30 may not be able to hold the other tile 201b. On the other hand, if the other tile 201b is thin, the pressing portion 22 may float above the upper surface of the other tile 201b, and may not be able to firmly hold the other tile 201b. For this reason, it is preferable that the tip of the pressing portion 22 gradually approaches the connecting portion 30. This allows the tip of the pressing portion 22 and the connecting portion 30 to hold the other tile 201b, even if the thickness of the other tile 201b is slightly greater than the distance between the tip of the pressing portion 22 and the connecting portion 30, by widening the distance between them. On the other hand, if the other tiles 201b are thin, the base of the pressing portion 22 can be slightly deformed so that the pressing portion 22 is closer to the connecting portion 30, thereby allowing the upper surface of the other tiles 201b to be pressed down.

[0039] In this embodiment, the pressing portion 22 is shaped as shown in Figure 5(a), gradually moving away from the connecting portion 30 from the base end towards the center and gradually approaching the connecting portion 30 from the center towards the tip. However, as shown in Figure 5(b), it may also be shaped to approach the connecting portion 30 linearly from the base end towards the tip. By shaping at least the tip of the pressing portion 22 to gradually approach the connecting portion 30, the thickness range of the tile 201b that can be sandwiched between the tip of the pressing portion 22 and the connecting portion 30 can be widened.

[0040] The angle θ between the tip of the pressing portion 22 and the connecting portion 30 is not particularly limited. However, if the angle θ is too small, the range of thicknesses of the roof tiles 201 that can be clamped between the tip of the pressing portion 22 and the connecting portion 30 may not be wide enough. For this reason, the angle θ is preferably 2° or more, and more preferably 5° or more. On the other hand, if the angle θ is too large, the height (width in the z-axis direction) of the roof tile mounting fixture 1 also needs to be increased, which may make the roof tile mounting fixture 1 bulky and difficult to carry. For this reason, the angle θ is preferably 30° or less, and more preferably 20° or less. In this embodiment, the angle θ between the tip of the pressing portion 22 and the connecting portion 30 is set to approximately 10°.

[0041] The length of the retaining portion 22 can be appropriately determined according to the length of the overlapping portion of the roof tiles 201, etc. However, if the retaining portion 22 is too short, other roof tiles 201b may easily slip out of the grip between the retaining portion 22 and the connecting portion 30, and conversely, if it is too long, it may become difficult to operate when attaching the roof tile mounting fixture 1 to the roof tile 200 (especially when setting the latching portion 10 in an upright position as shown in Figure 3-2(c)). For this reason, the length of the retaining portion 22 is preferably in the range of 2 to 6 cm, and more preferably in the range of 3 to 5 cm.

[0042] 2.6 Connection section The specific shape of the connecting portion 30 is not particularly limited, as long as it can connect the latching portion 10 and the mounting portion 20. However, for example, if the connecting portion 30 is bent, when the latching portion 10 is laid flat (see Figure 3-1(b)) or raised (see Figure 3-2(c)) while the connecting portion 30 is positioned in the gap α of the roof tiles 201, the bent portion of the connecting portion 30 may hit the roof tiles 201, making it difficult for the roof tile mounting fixture 1 to rotate. Also, if the cross-sectional shape of the connecting portion 30 (the shape obtained by cutting approximately parallel to the xz plane in Figure 2, the same applies hereinafter) has corners, those corners may hit the roof tiles 201, making it difficult for the roof tile mounting fixture 1 to rotate. For this reason, it is preferable that the connecting portion 30 has a smooth cross-sectional shape (such as a circular or elliptical shape without corners) and is approximately straight (rod-shaped). This allows the roof tile mounting fixture 1 to rotate smoothly with the connecting part 30 as the axis of rotation, while the connecting part 30 is positioned in the gap α of the roof tiles 201. In this embodiment as well, the connecting part 30 is a rod-shaped object with a substantially circular cross-section.

[0043] The length of the connecting portion 30 can be appropriately determined according to the length of the overlapping portion of the roof tiles 201, etc. However, if the connecting portion 30 is too short, when the connecting portion 30 is inserted into the gap α between one roof tile 201a and another roof tile 201b, the latching portion 10 may not reach the edge of one roof tile 201a. Conversely, if it is too long, the roof tile mounting fixture 1 may become bulky and difficult to carry. For this reason, the length of the connecting portion 30 is preferably in the range of 4 to 15 cm, and more preferably in the range of 6 to 12 cm. In this embodiment, the length of the connecting portion 30 is set to approximately 8 cm.

[0044] 2.7 Manufacturing method As already mentioned, the roof tile mounting bracket 1 is composed of a latching part 10, a mounting part 20, and a connecting part 30. It is also possible to manufacture the bracket by forming each part 10, 20, and 30 from separate materials and then joining them together. However, this manufacturing method may be time-consuming to join each part 10, 20, and 30, and the joints may easily come undone. For this reason, it is preferable to integrally mold the roof tile mounting bracket 1. This eliminates the time and effort required to join each part 10, 20, and 30, and also ensures the strength of the areas where they meet. While mold molding can be used as an integral molding method, it may be costly to manufacture the mold. For this reason, in this embodiment, the roof tile mounting bracket 1 is formed by bending a metal wire in a substantially planar (two-dimensional) manner. This makes it possible to manufacture the roof tile mounting bracket 1 at low cost and easily.

[0045] The cross-sectional shape of the metal wire used to form the roof tile mounting bracket 1 is not particularly limited, but it is preferable to have a smooth shape without corners, and more preferably to have a roughly circular shape. This allows the cross-sectional shape of the connecting portion 30 to be roughly circular, and as described above, when the connecting portion 30 is positioned in the gap α of the roof tiles 201, it becomes possible to smoothly rotate the roof tile mounting bracket 1 with the connecting portion 30 as the axis of rotation.

[0046] The thickness of the metal wire is not particularly limited. However, if the metal wire is too thick, the connecting portion 30 will also become thick, which may make it difficult to insert the connecting portion 30 into the gap α of the roof tiles 201. For this reason, the thickness of the metal wire (the diameter if the cross-section is approximately circular, or the width of the widest part in other cases; the same applies hereinafter) is preferably 10 mm or less, and more preferably 5 mm or less. On the other hand, if the metal wire is too thin, it may be difficult to ensure the strength of the roof tile mounting fixture 1. For this reason, the thickness of the metal wire is preferably 0.5 mm or more, and more preferably 1 mm or more. In this embodiment, the roof tile mounting fixture 1 is formed using a metal wire with an approximately circular cross-section and a diameter of approximately 2 mm.

[0047] The material of the roof tile mounting bracket is not particularly limited, and for example, metal or resin can be used. However, from the viewpoint of strength, it is preferable to use metal as the material for the roof tile mounting bracket. Suitable metals include, for example, stainless steel, copper, aluminum, titanium, and iron. In this embodiment, stainless steel, which has high strength and excellent corrosion resistance, is used as the material for the roof tile mounting bracket 1.

[0048] 3. Protective sheet The protective sheet 100 is placed over any damaged areas of the roof tiles to prevent rainwater from entering the building. In this embodiment, the protective sheet 100 comprises a sheet portion 101 and a mounting portion 102, as shown in the enlarged view in Figure 1.

[0049] For the sheet portion 101, it is preferable to use a material with high waterproofness to prevent rainwater from passing through. Suitable sheets include, for example, sheets woven from polyethylene or synthetic fibers such as polyvinyl chloride and coated with resin. In this embodiment, a so-called UV silver sheet (a polyethylene sheet coated with weather-resistant polyethylene), which has excellent waterproofness, lightness, and weather resistance, is used for the sheet portion 101.

[0050] The mounting portion 102 is a part that can be attached to the mounting portion 20 of the tile roof mounting fixture 1. The structure of the mounting portion 102 can be appropriately determined according to the structure of the mounting portion 20 of the tile roof mounting fixture 1. In this embodiment, the mounting portion 102 is an opening reinforced with an eyelet or the like, and the protective sheet 100 can be attached to the tile roof mounting fixture 1 by passing a connecting member 40 (cable tie, etc.) through this opening and also through the mounting position 20a of the tile roof mounting fixture 1.

[0051] It is preferable to arrange the mounting portions 102 at multiple locations along the periphery of the sheet portion 101. This ensures that the periphery of the protective sheet 100 is pressed against the tile roof 200 via the tile roof mounting fixture 1, thereby making it difficult for gaps to form between the protective sheet 100 and the tile roof 200 (or reducing any existing gaps). Consequently, the protective sheet 100 is less likely to be blown away or lifted by the wind.

[0052] The spacing between the mounting portions 102 is not particularly limited, but is preferably 20 to 40 cm, more preferably 25 to 35 cm, and even more preferably 28 to 32 cm. In this embodiment, the spacing between the mounting portions 102 is approximately 30 cm. The reason for this will be explained later.

[0053] 4.Curing method Figure 6 shows the tile roof 200, the tile roof mounting bracket 1, and the protective sheet 100 viewed from the side (in the direction of arrow A6 in Figure 1). Many tiles 201 have wavy, curved shapes such as J-shaped, S-shaped, and M-shaped. In a tile roof 200 using such tiles 201, it is preferable to install the tile roof mounting bracket 1 near the recessed areas (tile recessed areas) β of the tiles 201. This allows the protective sheet 100 to conform to the wavy shape of the tile roof 200 when attached to the tile roof mounting bracket 1, thereby reducing the gap γ between the protective sheet 100 and the tiles 201. Consequently, wind is less likely to enter through this gap γ, making it less likely for the protective sheet 100 to be blown away.

[0054] In a typical tiled roof 200, the tiles 201 are arranged so that the spacing between the recessed tile sections β is approximately 30 cm. Therefore, in this embodiment, the spacing between the mounting sections 102 is set to approximately 30 cm, as described above. This allows the protective sheet 100 (mounting section 102) to be attached to the tiled roof mounting fixture 1 (mounting position 20a) while the tiled roof mounting fixture 1 is installed near the recessed tile sections β.

[0055] 5. Others Figure 7(a) shows another mounting configuration for the protective sheet 100 in the roof tile mounting fixture 1. In this embodiment, the mounting portion 20 and the connecting portion 30 form a U-shape overall. This U-shaped portion (composed of the connecting portion 30, the contact portion 21, and the pressing portion 22) can be designated as the mounting position 20b, and the protective sheet 100 or connecting member 40 can be attached by hooking it onto this U-shaped portion. Having multiple mounting configurations for the protective sheet 100 (or connecting member 40) allows for flexible adaptation to various situations with different curing conditions.

[0056] Figure 7(b) shows the tile roof mounting bracket 1 installed on the overlapping portion of a relatively thick tile 201. If other tiles 201b are also relatively thick, the pressing portion 22 and the connecting portion 30 may not be able to grip the other tile 201b, and the end face of the other tile 201b may not come into contact with the contact portion 21. However, even in this case, the tile roof mounting bracket 1 is designed so that the tip side of the pressing portion 22 (the side with the mounting position 20a) comes into contact with the end face of the other tile 201b. In other words, the tip side of the pressing portion 22 can also function as a contact portion. This prevents the tile roof mounting bracket 1 from completely entering the gap α between the tiles 201, even if the other tile 201b cannot be gripped by the pressing portion 22 and the connecting portion 30.
