Abstract
Abstract The present invention relates to a shingle-type building element in form of several shingle-like surfaces placed side by side forming a joint-structure or a single shingle piece, comprising a form of a plate which in the right angular cross-section shows the upper member with a width b a height h and a wedge-shaped lower member with the wedge point, with a truncated side, in case of a wedge stump which is later connected at the ridge, or the upper member facing the top of the wall by which the wedge-shaped lower member is either in the cross-section a triangle ABC of which side AC is equal to the height h of the upper member and of which the side BC is smaller than half of width b or the extension is such that it shows in the cross-section a triangle ABC, and a polygon joint below which gives after the building elements are laid in the cross-section a right angular basic member, by which the upper member and the lower member is one unit made of the same or different materials, the upper member of the single-type surface or joint structure show cuts in order to achieve the shingle-type effect this is not the case with the lower member.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 11
Claim 1
Independent Claim
230 words
A shingle type element of a shape which is adaptable to mate with other identical shingle elements to form a joint shingle structure, said element comprising: an upper member having a width b in the front to rear direction and a height h, a lower member of an expanded plastic material, said lower member comprising an upper triangular part ABC with point B at the rear end of the upper member, side AC being on the front and equal in height to h, and wherein width b of the upper part is more than twice the length of line BC, said lower member including a lower part, the bottom of which is substantially parallel to line AB, a reinforcing element in the form of an elongated track embedded in the plastic material of the lower member and running generally perpendicular to the front to back direction thereof, and a securing means for securing together the upper and lower members, said securing means including: a securing strip of material running along the bottom of the upper member, said securing strip having first parts fixed to the upper member, said strip having other parts extending down into the plastic material and embedded therein, such that at least some plastic material is present between some portions of the other part and the upper member to securely hold together the upper and lower members.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
230 words
A shingle type element of a shape which is adaptable to mate with other identical shingle elements to form a joint shingle structure, said element comprising: an upper member having a width b in the front to rear direction and a height h, a lower member of an expanded plastic material, said lower member comprising an upper triangular part ABC with point B at the rear end of the upper member, side AC being on the front and equal in height to h, and wherein width b of the upper part is more than twice the length of line BC, said lower member including a lower part, the bottom of which is substantially parallel to line AB, a reinforcing element in the form of an elongated track embedded in the plastic material of the lower member and running generally perpendicular to the front to back direction thereof, and a securing means for securing together the upper and lower members, said securing means including: a securing strip of material running along the bottom of the upper member, said securing strip having first parts fixed to the upper member, said strip having other parts extending down into the plastic material and embedded therein, such that at least some plastic material is present between some portions of the other part and the upper member to securely hold together the upper and lower members.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
15 words
A shingle type element according to claim 1, wherein the plastic is hard expanded polyurethane.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
19 words
A shingle type element according to claim 1 or claim 2, wherein the upper member is made of asphalt.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
29 words
A shingle type element according to claim 1 or claim 2, said upper member having slits cut in the front thereof in order to achieve a shingle type appearance.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim

A shingle type element according to claim 1 or claim 2, wherein the upper member has a width b of 33 cm, a height h of approximately 3 to 5 mm and the line AB has a length of 14 to 15 cm and wherein the length of the shingle type element in the direction perpendicular to the front to back direction is approximately 400 cm.
Claim 10
Dependent Claim
76 words
A shingle type element according to claim 1 or claim 2, wherein said securing means comprises an upper strip of material on the top of the upper member, and the first part of said securing strip including parts located against the upper member and mechanically secured through the upper member to the upper strip, and said other parts of the securing strip including portions thereof which are twisted and which extend down into the plastic material.
Claim 11
Dependent Claim
26 words
A shingle type element according to claim 9, said reinforcing element comprising an upwardly concave perforated track extending along the lower member near the bottom thereof.
