Claims18
A tile support arrangement comprising interlocking panels adapted to support thereon a plurality of tiles, a plurality of battens adapted to support thereon the interlocking panels, each batten comprising an upright portion having connected thereto a transversely extending portion, said transversely extending portion being flat and oriented in a generally downwardly inclined direction and configured for engaging with the interlocking panels and means for securing the battens to load bearing frame members of an inclined roof or a wall of a building.
A tile support arrangement comprising interlocking panels adapted to support thereon a plurality of tiles, a plurality of battens adapted to support thereon the interlocking panels, and means for securing the battens to load bearing frame members of an inclined roof or a wall of a building, wherein each interlocking panel is so supported on the battens that it has a first end portion adapted to be located, in use, above a second portion in opposed relationship to the first end portion, the first end portion defining an upwardly hooked member and the second end portion defining a downwardly hooked member, wherein an upper one of the panels in the arrangement is interlocked to a lower one of the panels by mutual engagement of the upper panel downwardly hooked member with the respective lower panel upwardly hooked member, and wherein each batten further includes an upright portion which supports the interlocking panels in spaced relationship to the frame members and a transversely extending portion adapted to engage within the downwardly hooked portion of an interlocking panel, thereby supporting the interlocking panels in elevated positions above the load bearing frame members.
A tile support arrangement comprising interlocking panels adapted to support thereon a plurality of tiles, a plurality of battens adapted to support thereon the interlocking panels, each batten comprising a base, an upright portion and a transversely extending portion, said base having a downwardly extending element and an upwardly extending element and being adapted for connecting to a load bearing frame member, said upright portion being generally perpendicular to the base, and being connected to the base and configured to support the interlocking panels in spaced relationship to the frame members, the transversely extending portion being connected to the upright portion and oriented in a generally downwardly inclined direction and configured for engaging the interlocking panels in elevated positions above the load bearing frame members.
