Tile for covering roofs

Abstract

Disclosed is a tile for covering roofs, produced in material with a polymer matrix ( 7 ) comprising a mineral charge ( 8 ) provided in a quantity ranging from 20% and 60% in weight, with respect to the total weight of the tile, the mineral charge being chosen from calcium carbonate, talc, barium sulphate, clay, and the tile having dimensions and thicknesses substantially identical to those of conventional tiles such as, selectively, Portuguese tiles, Marseilles tiles and curved tiles, and preferably being provided joined to similar tiles, in a way suitable to define a multiple tile.

1 . Tile for covering roofs, produced in material with a polymer matrix, comprising a mineral charge provided in a quantity ranging from 20% and 60% in weight, with respect to the total weight of said tile, and having dimensions and thicknesses substantially identical to those of conventional tiles such as, selectively, Portuguese tiles, Marseilles tiles and curved tiles.  
   
   
       2 . Tile according to  claim 1 , provided joined to similar tiles, in a way suitable to form a multiple tile.  
   
   
       3 . Tile according to  claim 2 , wherein said multiple tile is in one piece.  
   
   
       4 . Tile according to  claim 2 , wherein said multiple tile is defined by tiles aligned with one another in a way suitable to define a row.  
   
   
       5 . Tile according to  claim 1 , wherein said mineral charge is at least prevalently chosen from calcium carbonate, talc, barium sulphate.  
   
   
       6 . Tile according to  claim 1 , wherein said mineral charge is at least in prevalence clay.  
   
   
       7 . Tile according to  claim 1 , wherein said mineral charge tile is at least in prevalence ground clay obtained from conventional tiles.  
   
   
       8 . Tile according to  claim 1 , wherein means are provided for fastening to a supporting base.  
   
   
       9 . Tile according to  claim 8 , comprising a notch suitable to facilitate insertion of said fastening means.  
   
   
       10 . Tile according to  claim 1 , produced with injection molding of the type chosen from “coinjection”, “structural foam”, “gas assisted”.  
   
   
       11 . Tile according to  claim 1 , having three layers: an outer layer in compact material, an intermediate layer in semi-expanded material and a hollow inner layer determined by gas injected centrally, said tile being produced with injection molding of a type combining “coinjection” and “gas assisted”.  
   
   
       12 . Tile for covering roofs, produced in material with a polymer matrix, having dimensions and thicknesses substantially identical to those of conventional tiles such as, selectively, Portuguese tiles, Marseilles tiles and curved tiles, provided joined to a plurality of similar tiles, in a way suitable to define a multiple tile.  
   
   
       13 . Tile according to  claim 12 , wherein said multiple tile is in a single piece.  
   
   
       14 . Tile according to  claim 12 , wherein said multiple tile is defined by tiles aligned with one another in a way suitable to define a row.  
   
   
       15 . Tile according to  claim 12 , produced with injection molding of the type chosen from “coinjection”, “structural foam”, “gas assisted”.  
   
   
       16 . Tile according to  claim 12 , having three layers: an outer layer in compact material, an intermediate layer in semi-expanded material and a hollow inner layer determined by gas injected centrally, said tile being produced with injection molding of “coinjection” and “gas assisted” type.
