Definitions

  • This patent specification relates to rainwater capture. More particularly this specification relates to a roof system for the collection of rainwater.
  • the invention in this broad form includes truss hold down means being secured to the ground and able to constrain the truss at that location it engages the truss to be at a small height relative the surface of the dell or hollow.
  • Each of the trusses is an elongate member elongate along a respective axis.
  • Stay tensioning means of the invention may be hand adjustable tension means or hydraulic or magnetic or any other suitable arrangement such that the truss can be tensioned adequately for the purpose.
  • the tensioning means may include mechanical tensioning ability.
  • the tensioning means may be incorporated into the truss of the invention.
  • the truss of the invention may include at least one threaded end which can be passed through an eyelet or slot in a stay means so that the truss can be tightened between the stay means. Therefore it is evident that if required at least one truss of the invention may include means to tighten the truss between stay means.
  • the cable or like flexible member which forms the truss or baton be coated with at least one layer of protective material such there is a protective skin over at least a portion of the surface of the truss aiding in longevity of the structure. It is intended that the invention be a infrastructure having a very long service life.
  • a super catchment facility may include one or more zero height roofs.
  • at least two zero height roofs being rectangular in shape when viewed in top plan view and being parallel to each other.
  • the zero height roof intercepts rainwater before it may strike the ground and the water catch may require to be stored for later use accordingly we have found that it is preferable to site at least one storage means under the zero height roof for this purpose.
  • it is positioned below the ground underlying the roof or below the zero height roof.
  • the storage means may require to be accessed by man and or machine and therefore an entrance to it can be made through n created aperture in the roof upper surface or a passage/s can be formed which extends through the soil underlying the roof.
  • the sheet tile is a longitudinally extending substrate or group of substrates or ribbon of material formed into a channel having sidewalls and a channel floor
  • the sheet tile is preferably sheet tile or metal, steel, zinc coated or antirust plated with rust resistant material, it can be plastic or fibre glass or any other useful material, including but not limited to the following examples, said examples be useful in showing variety of possibilities for materials without any real effort of imagination, kevlar sheeting, cementous sheeting, fibreglass, perspex, plastic, PVC, Nylon, Rayon, organic fibre resin and hardening body agent, metal, aluminum, steel, high tensile steel, copper, brass, tin, iron, float glass or any other suitable material.

  • Figure 4 is an isometric schematic view.
  • Figure 25 is a sectional schematic end view.
  • Figure 26 is an isometric schematic view.
  • Figure 28 is a sectional side view.
  • FIG 4 is a schematic isometric view of the embodiment of the invention 10 shown in Figure 3 in which it can be seen that there are a plurality of tension trusses 2i, 2ii, 2iii and, that the trusses are secured to stay means. 2i being tension between stay means 3ai and 3bi, 2ii between 3aii and 3bii, and, 2iii between 3aiii and 3biii.
  • Roof sheeting or tile means 5 (not shown) is attached to baton means (not shown) by any suitable method though fastener-less means are preferred.
  • the trusses are pulled around the arched surface of the ground does not mean that the trusses don't each have a straight elongate axis in use it is just that when they are bent around the arch their elongate axis is bent with the arch. It can be seen that the trusses are parallel to each other and that the baton means are arranged at a transverse angle relative to the trusses they are mounted to. It can be seen that the trusses follow the curve of the arch closely and that there is only a small gap between the roof sheeting/tile means and the surface of the ground over which they extend.
  • the cable can be tensioned to pull it hard against the surface of the ground or onto bearer baton system (riser/spacer means) laid out periodically on the surface.
  • the tension of the tension members may be preset or may be dynamically tensioned so that the tension member can cope by way of adjustment with thermal expansion forces, stretch of tension member or even wind conditions if required.
  • FIG 13 shows an schematic sectional end view of the zero height roof 10 wherein is included air evacuation means in the form of a gate or door 555 being a hinged gate system able to swing on hinge 555a.
  • air evacuation means in the form of a gate or door 555 being a hinged gate system able to swing on hinge 555a.
  • a tornado, willi-willy, hurricane 15 is shown.
  • the localized low pressure system posing a threat to the integrity of the roof if pressure build up is too great and too rapid due the weather phenomena.
  • the direction of air flow is shown 17 escaping the air vent means 555.
  • the truss 2i being secured to the stay means 3a by holding means in the form of a hook 23 and ring 33 arrangement.
  • the ring being mounted to or formed with the stay means and the hook being part of or otherwise connected to the truss end 2ai.
  • the stay means 3ci could if preferred be a dead weight.
  • the stay means 3ci includes tensioning means able to pull the truss 2i down into the hollow and hold it there.
  • the tensioning means may be a turnbuckle arrangement having a first connection or interconnection with the truss and second connection or interconnection with the stay means 3ci.
  • More than one stay means may be situated in the floor of the hollow if required, to pull and hold down the truss means into the hollow.
  • the batons as with all the embodiments of the invention may be tension baton means tensioned between baton stay means if desired.
  • Figure 34 shows a laminated tension truss member 250 being elongate along an axis 2511.
  • the laminated tension member including several layers of material bonded or other wise combined together members to form a tension member.
