Spacer for roof structures

Abstract

A spacer for use for mounting of spacing fillets on a underlayment with a distance between the underlayment and the spacing fillets, where tie spacer has a bottom plate with an upper side for abutting the underside. A spacer for use for the mounting of spacing fillets on an underlayment with a space between underlayment and the spacing fillets, where the spacer has a bottom plate with an upper side for abutting the underside of the spacing fillet, and the spacer on the opposite side of this bottom plate is provided with a spacing unit for abutting the surface of the underlayment.

What is claimed is:  
     
         1 . Spacer suitable for use in connection with mounting of spacing fillets on a roof underlayment with a distance between said roof underlayment and said spacing fillets, wherein said spacer has a bottom plate with an inner side abutting the underside of said spacing fillet and that said spacer on the opposite side of said bottom plate is provided with a spacing unit abutting the surface of said roof underlayment.  
     
     
         2 . Spacer according to  claim 1 , wherein said spacing unit comprises at least one from the group consisting of a number of parallel battens, an annular elevation, and a polygonal elevation.  
     
     
         3 . Spacer according to  claim 1 , wherein said spacer is further provided with a side plate which is mounted in an angle, preferably a right angle, with said bottom plate, where said side plate is designed to abut the spacing fillet.  
     
     
         4 . Spacer according to  claim 1 , wherein said spacer is provided with one or more mounting holes in said bottom plate.  
     
     
         5 . Spacer according to  claim 3 , wherein said spacer is provided with one or more mounting holes in said side plate.  
     
     
         6 . The spacer according to  claim 1 , wherein said spacer is provided with a locking device configured for sideways assembly with another identical spacer.  
     
     
         7 . Spacer according to  claim 1 , wherein said spacer is made of stainless steel or thermoplastic material, preferably recycled polystyrene.  
     
     
         8 . Method for fastening horizontal spacing fillets on a roof underlayment with a pitch for support of an outer roof covering, where said underlayment is carried by rafters, where a spacer is mounted between said underlayment and said spacing fillets to allow the flow of water and air between said underlayment and said horizontal spacing fillets, wherein said spacer is mounted on said spacing fillets in predetermined positions, where said predetermined positions are related to the positions of said rafters, where said fastening of said horizontal spacing fillets on said underlayment takes place in one working operation, in which a nail is shot through said spacing fillet, said spacer and said underlayment into said underlying rafter.
