Abstract

A metal sheet (1) corrugated at (2) to provide bearing capacity, is formed with shaped portions (3), such as narrow channels parallel to the corrugations (2), which are defined by a continuous surface and which are arranged to receive self-tapping screws (4) which secure insulating panel(s) (5) to the metal sheet (1). <IMAGE>

Description

SPECIFICATION Corrugated or like metal sheet with bearing capacity, in building The present invention relates to a fretcorrugated or otherwise shaped sheet metal with bearing capacity, provided with shaped slots for holding self-tapping screws.
As it is known, to the fret-corrugated sheet metals provided for forming coverings for civil and industrial buildings, insulating rigid panels are to be fixed which are then subjected to waterproofing operations.
The necessity of using mechanical systems for fixing the insulating material, instead of the hot coating or buttling of bituminous material, or in addition thereto, is made indispensable by the facility with which, due to counterpressures or depressions, the insulating material tends to detach or foliate, thereby deteriorating the impermeability of the roof or the like. However, the mechanical fixing, while being able of satisfactorily anchoring the insulating material to the bearing sheet metal, requires that holes be carried out through the metal sheets, thereby it is not possible to obtain a steam or moisture barrier and causing oxidation on the galvanized iron, and prolonging the installation time; furthermore, additional tools or implements are required.
The connection screws or rivets, furthermore, are visible from the outside of the working article, deteriorating the aesthetical aspect thereof.
Obviousiy, the thereinabove cited drawbacks also occur as coverings are made which, instead of the conventional waterproof coatings, use a second fret-corrugated sheet metal, disposed on the insulating material according to the so-called "sandwich" arrangement.
These practical drawbacks, on the contrary are eliminated by using the fret-corrugated or otherwise shaped sheet metal, with bearing capacity, according to the present invention.
This sheet metal, in fact, is so constructed as to permit insulating panels to be anchored on its surface, by using self-tapping screws, without the necessity of making holes through said sheet metal.
More specifically, the fret-corrugated sheet metal, with bearing capacity, according to the present invention, is provided, parallely to the profiles thereof, with narrow slots, of suitable depth, the cross-section whereof is substantially like that of an elongated droplet.
These slots are practically shaped in such a way as to act, by their vertical adjoining walls, as a holding seat for the end of the self-tapping screw.
Due to this solution, the insulating panel may be firmly anchored to the sheet metal, by means of self-tapping screws, without the necessity of making through holes through said sheet metal.
These and other characteristics, of functional and constructional nature, of the fret-corrugated or otherwise shaped sheet metal, according to the present invention, will become more apparent from the several figures of the accompanying drawings, in which: Figure 1 is a cross-section view illustrating a portion of the instant fret-corrugated sheet metal; Figure 2 illustrates the procedure for locking an insulating panel on that same corrugated sheet metal; Figure 3 is a horizontal section view illustrating one of the slots formed in the sheet metal, upon having introduced therein a self-tapping screw; and Figures 4 and 5 are, respectively, a cross- and longitudinal section view illustrating the procedure or method for lock-fixing an outside sheet metal to the instant fret-corrugated sheet metal.
Referring particularly to the number references of the figures of the accompanying drawing, the fret-corrugated or otherwise shaped sheet metal (1), according to the present invention, is provided, parallely extending to the profiles (2), with narrow slots (3), of suitable depth.
These slots are delimited by near vertical walls, the mutual distance or spacing thereof is advantageously less that the diameter of the stem of a self-tapping screw, (4).
This latter, accordingly, as it is introduced into one of the slots (3), by means of an electric type of screwdriver or other suitable tool, cuts and deforms the walls of said slots, thereby forming a holding seat, substantially like a nut-screw.
In this manner it is possible to fix an insulating panel (5), by means of self-tapping screws and plates (6), or, possibly, also by means of an outside sheet metal (7), to the bearing sheet metal (1), without the necessity of making holes through said bearing sheet metal. Sheets (1) and (7) may be of similar form.
From the above description and the observation of the figures of the accompanying drawings, the great functionality and facility of use, characterizing the fret-corrugated sheet metal, provided with shaped slots effective to hold selftapping screws, according to the present invention, are self evident.
1. Fret-corrugated or otherwise shaped sheet metal, with bearing capacity, characterized in that it is provided with shaped portions, substantially like projecting lugs, as obtained by any suitable method, and delimitated by a continuous surface, said shaped portions being effective to tightly house self-tapping screws.
2. Fret-corrugated or otherwise shaped sheet metal, according to the preceding clairn, characterized in that it is provided, parallely extending with respect to the profiles of said sheet metal, with narrow slots, of suitable depth, said slots being delimited by nearly vertical walls, the mutual spacing whereof is advantageously less than the diameter of the stem of a said selftapping screw.
