Shelter incorporating a plurality of adjustable adjacent roofing elements

Abstract

A shelter of the type constituted by at least one polygonal roofing element held in position by one end of a substantially horizontal arm, of which the other end is held by a vertical pole. This shelter is characterized in that the arm is connected to the pole by connection elements adapted to allow the arm to be adjusted both in the vertical and in the horizontal direction.

1 . Shelter, of the type constituted by at least one polygonal roofing element held in position by one end of a substantially horizontal arm, of which the other end is held by a vertical pole, 
 wherein the arm is connected to the pole by connection means adapted to allow the arm to be adjusted both in the vertical and in the horizontal direction.    
   
   
       2 . The shelter of  claim 1 , wherein the base of the roofing element is provided with a peripheral gutter.  
   
   
       3 . The shelter of  claim 1 , wherein the vertical post is traversed by a tube which opens out in its upper part on a collector element and which is connected by its base to means for evacuating rain water.  
   
   
       4 . The shelter of  claim 1 , wherein the roofing element is disposed so that two of its adjacent sides converge towards the centre of the pole.  
   
   
       5 . The shelter of  claim 4 , wherein the point of convergence of the two adjacent sides of the roofing element lies at a level slightly lower than that of the rest of the roofing element and thus constitutes a “bottom point” located above the collector means.  
   
   
       6 . The shelter of  claim 5 , wherein the bottom point comprises an evacuation orifice located plumb with the collector element.  
   
   
       7 . The shelter according to  claim 1 , wherein the inner end of the arm is provided with a vertical plate adapted to be fixed on the pole by means of bolts which traverse it, the inclination of this plate, and therefore of the arm, in the vertical plane and in the horizontal plane, being a function of the value by which this plate is driven on the bolts.  
   
   
       8 . The shelter of  claim 1 , wherein the outer end of the arm ensures vertical hold of a post which itself ensures hold of triangulate elements constituted by three elements forming a right-angled triangle, namely a vertical element parallel and substantially of the same length as the post, a horizontal element which forms a diagonal of the roofing element and an element connecting the upper part of the post to the end of the horizontal element, said end constituting a point of anchorage of a corner of the roofing element.  
   
   
       9 . The shelter of  claim 8 , wherein the triangulate elements are provided with adjustment means adapted to allow a positioning of the points of anchorage in the vertical direction and in the horizontal direction.  
   
   
       10 . The shelter of  claim 2 , wherein the vertical post is traversed by a tube which opens out in its upper part on a collector element and which is connected by its base to means for evacuating rain water.  
   
   
       11 . The shelter of  claim 2 , wherein the roofing element is disposed so that two of its adjacent sides converge towards the centre of the pole.
