Description

Description
This invention relates to coping brackets of the type formed from sheet metal, including strengthening formations that are provided as the sheet metal is bent into shape. The invention also relates to methods of manufacturing coping brackets and to coping assemblies including at least one coping section and a coping bracket of the type formed from sheet metal.
Coping sections can be used to cap walls or parapets, particularly those that extend above the edge of a roof, in order to improve the aesthetic appearance of the wall or parapet and to protect the same from environmental damage.
It is known to affix coping brackets (sometimes referred to as retention brackets or cleats) to the top part of a wall prior to fixing the coping sections thereto. Coping brackets are provided for the purposes of ensuring that the coping sections can be aligned accurately during installation and, moreover, remain aligned accurately over time.
Coping brackets formed from extruded metal are known. However, it has been found that such coping brackets are inherently weak. Due to this inherent weakness the coping sections affixed to the coping brackets can become misaligned or, in certain cases, can become detached from the wall. This problem can be made worse when the assembled coping is exposed to wind, rain, subsidence, etc.
Embodiments of this invention seek to overcome or at least substantially reduce this problem.
It is, therefore, an object of this invention to provide coping brackets that are inherently stronger than known coping brackets.
According to a first aspect of the invention we provide a coping bracket for supporting coping sections on a wall, the coping bracket comprising:
a first portion having first and second ends;
a second portion extending from the first end, wherein the second portion comprises a distal end for holding a coping section relative thereto;
a third portion extending from the second end, wherein the third portion comprises a distal end for holding the or a coping section relative thereto, wherein one or both of the first and second ends comprises a strengthening formation.
A first strengthening formation may be provided at the first end and originate in the first portion and terminate in the second portion.
A second strengthening formation may be provided at the second end and originate in the first portion and terminate in the third portion.
The first portion may have an axis (A) extending between the first end and the second end; the second portion may have an axis (B) extending between the first end and the distal end of the second portion; and the first strengthening formation may have an elongate axis (C) which intersects the axis (A) of the first portion and the axis (B) of the second portion.
The third portion may have an axis (D) extending between the second end and the distal end of the third portion; and the second strengthening formation may have an elongate axis (E) which intersects the axis (A) of the first portion and the axis (D) of the third portion.
The second portion may extend at an obtuse angle (ΘΊ) from the first end of the first portion.
The third portion may extend at an obtuse angle (Θ2) from the second end of the first portion.
The coping bracket may further comprise a channel which extends along the first portion and which connects the first strengthening formation and (if present) the second strengthening formation.
The or a channel may extend along the second portion and connect the first strengthening formation and the distal end of the second portion.
The or a channel may extend along the third portion and connect the second strengthening formation and the distal end of the third portion.
The first portion may be disposed in a first plane. The coping bracket may further comprise a fourth portion for contacting a top surface of a wall, wherein the fourth portion is disposed in a second plane, wherein the second plane is offset from the first plane.
The second plane may be disposed angularly relative to the first plane.
The coping bracket may comprise one or more fixing holes for enabling fixing of the coping bracket to a top part of a wall.
The or each fixing hole may be provided in any one or more of the first portion, the second portion, the third portion and the fourth portion.
According to a second aspect of the invention we provide a method of manufacturing a coping bracket according to the first aspect of the invention, further comprising bending sheet metal to form the coping bracket.
The method may further comprise the step of bending the sheet material using a tool comprising a die and punch to form the first strengthening formation and / or the second strengthening formation.
According to a third aspect of the invention we provide a coping assembly including at least one coping section and a coping bracket according to the first aspect of the invention.
The coping assembly may comprise one of more fixings, e.g. screws or nails.
The coping assembly may further comprise a top part of a wall, wherein the coping bracket is fixed to the top part of the wall by the or each fixing, and wherein a sealing strip is located between the coping bracket and the or each coping section.
The sealing strip may comprise expanded foam.

Figure 9 shows a punch that can be used to manufacture coping brackets according to the invention.
With reference to figures 1 to 4, there is shown a coping bracket, indicated generally at 1, which is formed from sheet metal.
In some embodiments the sheet metal may be aluminium. In other embodiments the sheet metal may be a metal other than aluminium, such as copper, nickel, tin or titanium, or a metal alloy, such as brass or steel. Other metals or metal alloys available to the skilled person could also be utilised.
The coping bracket 1 includes a first portion 10 having a first end 101 and a second end 102. A second portion 11 extends from the first end 101 and a third portion 12 extends from the second end 102.
In the embodiment shown in figures 1 to 4 the second portion 11 extends at an obtuse angle (Θι) from the first end 101 and the third portion 12 extends at an obtuse angle (Θ2) from the second end 102.
The second portion 11 has a distal end 111 and the third portion 12 has a distal end 121.
In some embodiments, the coping bracket 1 may be formed with first and second strengthening formations 14, 15 at the respective first and second ends 101, 102. The first and second strengthening formations 14, 15 are formed during bending of the sheet metal. Advantageously, the first and second strengthening formations 14, 15 provide the coping bracket 1 with rigidity by, in particular, inhibiting inward flexing of the second and third portions 11,12 relative to the first portion 10.
In some embodiments the first strengthening formation 14 may originate in the first portion 10 and terminate in the second portion 11. In some embodiments the second strengthening formation 15 may originate in the first portion 10 and terminate in the third portion 12. By this we mean, in embodiments having first and second strengthening formations 14, 15, that the first and second strengthening formations 14, 15 are localised approximate to the respective first and second ends 101, 102 of the first portion 10 and that there are no strengthening regions in between (as illustrated by the embodiment of figures 1 to 4).
The coping bracket 1 is for covering a top part of a wall (not shown). The first portion 10 is intended for lying directly on the upwardly facing surface of the wall and the first and second portions 11,12 enclose around respective front and rear sides of the wall.
The coping bracket 1 may be fixed to the wall by using fixings, such as screws. The installer may create appropriate fixing holes (e.g. by drilling) in the coping bracket 1 on site. Alternatively, the fixing holes may be pre-formed, for example during manufacture. In embodiments where the second and third portions 11,12 extend at an obtuse angle (Θι, ©2) from the first portion 10, the coping bracket 1 is typically fixed to the wall by fixing holes located in the first portion 10. In other words, in such embodiments, fixing holes are typically not provided in the second and third portions 11,12.
Referring now to figure 5, in some embodiments the second portion 11 may extend at an obtuse angle (Θι) from the first end 101 and the third portion 12 may extend substantially normally (e.g. at 90°) from the second end 102. In such embodiments, the coping bracket 1 may be fixed to the wall by fixing holes located in the first portion 10 and I or the third portion 12. In other words, in such embodiments, fixing holes are typically not provided in the second portion 11.
Typically, multiple coping brackets 1 are fitted in a spaced-apart fashion along the top part of a wall. As shown in figure 5, coping sections 2 are then connected to the coping brackets 1 (only one of which is shown) by a snap-fit engagement. In more detail, lip edges 21,22 of the coping sections 2 snap-fit around the respective distal ends 111, 121 of the second and third portions 11, 12. The distal ends 111, 121 hold the coping sections 2 in place. Sealant may be provided between the coping brackets 1 and the coping sections 2 to prevent ingress of water. Sealant may comprise adhesive sealant strips and / or expandable foam.
Advantageously, the first and second strengthening formations 14, 15 prevent the second and third portions 11, 12 from bending inwardly. In other words, the first and second strengthening formations 14, 15 cause the respective second and third portions 11, 12 to resist movement (i.e. stay put) when the coping sections 2 are connected thereto. Provided that the coping brackets 1 have been aligned accurately, this has the effect that the coping sections 2 will be aligned accurately during installation. Moreover, due to the strength provided by the first and second strengthening formations 14, 15, the coping sections 2 will remain accurately aligned over time.
In some embodiments (and as shown best in figure 2) the first portion 10 may have an axis (A) extending between the first end 101 and the second end 102, the second portion may have an axis (B) extending between the first end 101 and its distal end 111, and the first strengthening formation 14 may have an elongate axis (C) which intersects the axis (A) of the first portion 10 and the axis (B) of the second portion 11. In some embodiments the third portion 12 may have an axis (D) extending between the second end 102 and its distal end 121, and the second strengthening formation 16 may have an elongate axis (E) which intersects the axis (A) of the first portion 10 and the axis (D) of the third portion 12. It has been determined that, due to the elongate nature of the first and / or second strengthening formations 14, 15, the strengthening formation(s) 14, 15 are particularly effective at resisting movement of the respective second and / or third portions 11, 12.
Referring now to figure 6 there is shown a coping bracket, indicated generally at 1’, which is formed from sheet metal and has the features of the coping bracket shown in figures 1 to 4, with the following exceptions and additions. For the avoidance of doubt, the features of the embodiment shown in figure 6 that are common to the embodiment shown in figures 1 to 4 have been assigned the same number designated with a prime (‘) symbol.
The second portion 11 ’ of the coping bracket 1 ’ extends at an obtuse angle (Θι) from the first end 101’ and the third portion 12’ extends at approximately 90° from the second end 102’. As described above, this means that fixing holes may be located in one or both of the first and third portions 10’, 12’ for fixing the coping bracket 1’ in place. In situations whereby the third portion 12’ is fixed to a side of a wall, the second portion 11’ remains sufficiently rigid, in use, due to the presence of the first strengthening formation 14’, that the coping sections 2 applied thereto (as shown in figure 7) can be aligned accurately and remain aligned accurately over time. Whilst the coping bracket 1’ comprises a second strengthening formation 15’ at the second end 102’ this need not be essential.
In some embodiments the coping bracket 1,1’ may comprise a channel 16’ which extends along the axis (A’) of the first portion 10’ and connects the first strengthening formation 14’ and the second strengthening formation 15’. Advantageously, the channel 16’ provides a means for directing rainwater off of the coping bracket 1,1’.
In some embodiments the channel 16’ may extend along the axis (B’) of the second portion 11’ and connect the first strengthening portion 14’ and the distal end 111’ of the second portion 11’. In some embodiments the channel 16’ may extend along the axis (D’) of the third portion 12’ and connect the second strengthening portion 15’ and the distal end 121’ of the third portion 12’.
In some embodiments the coping bracket 1,1’ may include a fourth portion 17’ for contacting the top part of a wall. The fourth portion 17’ may be in the form of one or more wings extending from an edge that extends between the first and second ends 10T, 102’ of the first portion 10’. In some embodiments, the fourth portion 17’ may extend continuously between the first and second ends 10T, 102’ of one or both edges of the coping bracket 1 ’. The fourth portion 17’ extends continuously between the first and second ends 10T, 102’ of both edges of the coping bracket 1 ’ in the embodiment shown in figure 6.
In some embodiments the fourth portion 17’ may be disposed in a plane 170’ that is offset from a plane 103’ in which the first portion 10’ is disposed. In other words, the first portion 10’ may be raised, in use, relative to the fourth portion 17’.
In some embodiments the plane 170’ of the fourth portion 17’ may be disposed angularly relative to the plane 103’ of the first portion 10’, such that the first portion 10’ is sloped when in use. Advantageously, the sloped surface allows rainwater to flow off of the coping bracket 1’ and, in turn, increases the longevity of the coping bracket 1
In embodiments having a fourth portion 17’ fixing holes may be provided in the fourth portion 17’ for fixing the coping bracket 1 ’ to the wall.
The coping brackets 1, 1 ’ are formed by bending sheet meatal using a brake press.
The strengthening formations 14, 15; 14’, 15’ are formed by using a tool (as shown in figures 8 and 9) comprising a die 200 and punch 300. The die 200 comprises a body 201 having a channel 202 extending therethrough. A wall 203 separates the channel 202 into two channels 202a, 202b. The punch 300 comprises a body 301 having a punch surface 302. The punch surface 302 is separated into two punch surfaces 302a, 302b by a recess 303.
In order to form the strengthening formations 14, 15; 14’, 15’, sheet metal is located between the die 200 and the punch 300. The punch 300 is moved towards the die 200, such that the punch surfaces 302a, 302b push the sheet metal into the respective channels 202a, 202b. As the sheet metal is bent by the forces exerted by the punch 300 and die 200 the strengthening formations 14, 15; 14’, 15’ are also formed as the wall 203 pushes sheet metal into the recess 303.
If the wall 203 and recess 303 are not present, when a punch is moved towards a die a strengthening formation is not formed. In a comparative test a coping bracket not according to the invention was formed using a conventional brake press without wall 203 and recess 303 - such a coping bracket could be deformed by hand; in other words, the first and second portions could be moved relative to one another by hand. However, a coping bracket 1,1’ according to the invention (i.e. including the strengthening a formation 14, 14’) could not be deformed by hand; in other words, the first and second portions 10, 10’ ;11 ,11’ could not be moved relative to one another by hand. This improvement in strength can therefore be significant.
When used in this specification and claims, the terms comprises and comprising and variations thereof mean that the specified features, steps or integers are included. The terms are not to be interpreted to exclude the presence of other features, steps or components.
The features disclosed in the foregoing description, or the following claims, or the accompanying drawings, expressed in their specific forms or in terms of a means for performing the disclosed function, or a method or process for attaining the disclosed result, as appropriate, may, separately, or in any combination of such features, be utilised for realising the invention in diverse 15 forms thereof.
