Filed:

Jan 12, 1987

Appl. No.:

7/002517

Inventors:

Fernando Mendez - Hialeah Gardens FL

International Classification:

E04D 104

US Classification:

52536

Abstract:

A roof tile that has a top upper rectangular flat member and a wedged honeycomb frame integrally built on its underside. Grooves are formed on the underside of the top rectangular member and substantially adjacent to the lateral sides of the top rectangular flat member. The front and rear wall of the wedged from structure extend diagonally downwardly from the underside of the top member and towards the front of the tile. A cooperating gutter member is positioned below the interface of horizontally abutting tiles to collect the water that goes through the interface opening and to discharge it over the vertically abutting roof tile in front.

International Classification:

E04D 104

US Classification:

52536

Abstract:

A roof tile of rectangular and flat shape that can be interlockingly disposed with longitudinally and laterally adjacent tiles. The tile includes a frame member mounted to the underside of a flat top member and the frame member being of smaller dimensions than the top member and positioned towards the rear portion of the top member, it provides an interlocking cavity towards the front section that houses the rear of a longitudinally contiguous tile. Lateral ribs and grooves cooperate to provide lateral interlock.

Inventors:

Fernando Mendez - Hialeah Gardens FL

International Classification:

E04D 104

US Classification:

52536

Abstract:

A roof tile with longitudinal flat and curved or barrel-shape sections and a wedge member mounted to the underside of the flat section, along its entire length with the exception of a portion at the front of the tile. The space defined is sufficient to cooperatively and snuggly house a part of the rear of a tile installed in front. This provides a longitudinal resting area on the flat section of the tile. A longitudinal flange member extends upwardly and outwardly from the edge of the side wall of the flat section of the tile so that it interlockingly engages with horizontally abutting tiles.
