Abstract
Glazing bars forming part of a roof for a conservatory or the like are coupled to the ridge beam of the roof by pivotal connections which are located at or adjacent the upper edges of the glazing bars in order to simply assembly of the bars to the ridge beam. A mounting bracket for connecting glazing bars to the eaves beam of a roof structure is produced as an extruded profile and is used in conjunction with an intermediate component, which can also be produced as an extrusion, to effect coupling of the glazing bar to the eaves beam.
Claims49
A roof structure including a ridge beam, an eaves beam located at a lower elevation than the ridge beam, and inclined glazing bars extending between the eaves beam and the ridge beam, at least one glazing bar being pivotally connected to the ridge beam by a connector attached to the upper end of the glazing bar, wherein the pivotal connection is so located that the glazing bar is pivotal about an axis at or adjacent the upper edge of the glazing bar.
A roof structure comprising an eaves beam and glazing bars each coupled at one end to the eaves beam and extending upwardly to a fixing location at the opposite end, at least one glazing bar being coupled to the eaves beam by a mounting bracket having a coupling formation for co-operation with the eaves beam and an end stop for co-operation with a glazing bar, the bracket including said coupling formation and the end stop being in the form of an extruded fabrication.
A roof structure comprising an eaves beam and glazing bars each coupled at one end to the eaves beam and extending upwardly to a fixing location at the opposite end, at least one glazing bar being coupled to the eaves beam by a mounting bracket having a coupling formation for co-operation with the eaves beam, wherein an intermediate component is provided for rendering said formation captive to the eaves beam with respect to separation in a direction generally perpendicular to the beam.
A glazing bar mounting bracket comprising a first end stop section, a second section designed to be disposed in underlying relation with the glazing bar, and an integral coupling formation associated with said second section to allow the bracket to be engaged with an eaves beam, the bracket including said coupling formation being in the form of an extruded fabrication.
A glazing bar mounting bracket comprising a section designed to be disposed in underlying relation with the glazing bar, and an integral coupling formation associated with said section to allow the bracket to be engaged with an eaves beam, the coupling formation being provided with a separate intermediate component which is arranged to co-operate with the eaves beam bracket to render said formation captive to the eaves beam with respect to separation in a direction generally perpendicular to the beam.
A roof structure comprising an eaves beam and glazing bars each coupled at one end to the eaves beam and extending upwardly to a fixing location at the opposite end, at least one glazing bar being provided with cladding at its underside which extends between the glazing bar and the underlying eaves beam and being coupled to the eaves beam by a mounting bracket including a section which is received between the glazing bar and the cladding and has a coupling formation through which the bracket is connected to the eaves beam.
