A keder roof system comprising a first elongated rail structure (30) with a first keder groove (31) and a first tarpaulin (15) having a rectangular form with first and second opposite side edges, wherein the first tarpaulin (15) has a first keder chord (38) located along the first side edge and second keder chord (39) located along the second side edge, and wherein the first keder chord (38) is configured for being inserted into, and slidingly moveable within, the first keder groove (31) of the first elongated rail structure (30). The keder roof system further comprises a first shuttle arrangement (40) fastened to the first tarpaulin (15), wherein the first shuttle arrangement (40) has a rope attachment structure (83). The keder roof system further comprises a pull rope (14) configured for being attached to the rope attachment structure (83) of the first shuttle arrangement (40). The first elongated rail structure (30) comprises a rope guiding structure (52) configured for holding and guiding the pull rope (14) along the first elongated rail structure (30) at a location outside of the first keder groove (31). Moreover, the pull rope (14) and a portion of the first shuttle arrangement (40) are configured to pass through the rope guiding structure (52) of the first elongated rail structure (30) when the first tarpaulin (15) is being mounted on the first elongated rail structure (30).
A keder roof system comprising:
The keder roof system according to any of the preceding claims, wherein the first elongated rail structure (30) is composed of a plurality of elongated rail sections (64) connected end to end to jointly form the first elongated rail structure (30).
The keder roof system according to any of the preceding claims, wherein the first elongated rail structure (30) is integrally formed in a first roof support beam (2).
The keder roof system according to any of the preceding claims, wherein the rope guiding structure (52) of the first elongated rail structure (30) comprises at least one individual rope guiding member (74, 75) located on an elongated rail section (64), in particular two, three, four or five individual rope guiding members (74, 75) located longitudinally spaced apart along the elongated rail structure (30).
The keder roof system according to any of the preceding claims, wherein the first elongated rail structure (30), at each point along its length, has an extension in a direction of elongation, a lateral direction located in a plane of the intended roof and perpendicular to the direction of elongation, and a height direction that is perpendicular to both the direction of elongation and lateral direction, wherein the first elongated rail structure (30) has first and second keder grooves (31, 32) located on a first lateral side of the first elongated rail structure (30) and being mutually offset in the height direction, and wherein the first elongated rail structure (30) further has third and fourth keder grooves (33, 34) located on a second lateral side of the first elongated rail structure (30), opposite to the first lateral side, and being mutually offset in the height direction, such that two individual tarpaulins (15, 16) may be mounted on each lateral side of the first elongated rail structure (30) in an overlapping arrangement.
The keder roof system according to any of the preceding claims, wherein the first elongated rail structure (30) comprises:
The keder roof system according to any of the preceding claims, wherein the rope guiding structure (52) of the first elongated rail structure (30) comprises a separate rope guiding passage (79) for each keder groove (31-34) of said first elongated rail structure (30).
The keder roof system according to any of the preceding claims, wherein the rope guiding structure (52) of the first elongated rail structure (30) comprises a separate rope guiding passage (79) for each keder groove (31-34) of said first elongated rail structure (30), and wherein at least one rope guiding passage (79) is dimensioned for being able to hold and guide two pull ropes (14) simultaneously.
The keder roof system according to any of the preceding claims, the first shuttle arrangement (40) comprises a first part (81) and a second part (82), wherein the first part (81) is fastened to the first tarpaulin (15), and wherein the second part (82), which includes the rope attachment structure (83), is detachably fastenable to the first part (81).
The keder roof system according to any of the preceding claims, wherein the rope attachment structure (83) of the first shuttle arrangement (40) comprises:
The keder roof system according to any of the preceding claims, wherein the first shuttle arrangement (40) is fastened in a corner region (48-51) of the first tarpaulin (15).
