A roof for a building comprises a ridge beam for defining an upper edge of the roof, and a first eaves beam for defining a lower edge of the roof. The roof further comprises a first panel connectable to both the ridge beam and the eaves beam, being capable of spanning the distance therebetween and extending over at least a first portion of the area of the roof. In addition, the roof comprises one or more retention structures positionable relative to the first panel and one of said beams and configured to clamp said panel against the other of said beams.

The invention relates to a transparent element (6) comprising at least one transparent pane (20). At least one receiving element (5) in the form of an opening (11) can be provided in said transparent element, for at least one media consumer (7) which can be an illuminant (14), e.g. an LED, a loudspeaker, or another energy converter. The media supply for supplying or connecting the media consumer is integrated into the transparent element (6). Said media supply is preferably a current supply and, in the case of composite glass panes, is provided between the panes, for example, integrated into an insulating plastic layer or into a cast resin layer.

Means for suppression of rainfall noise comprises a sheet (12, 22) of flexible plastics material for lamination to e.g. a conservatory roof panel (10, 20). The exposed surface of the sheet (12, 22) has an array of projections such as peaks or domes (14) or ribs (24) of the same order of size as the diameter of heavy raindrops, to break up the drops before completion of impact thereby temporarily spreading generation of noise and reducing the intensity thereof. The sheet may incorporate or be coated with a colour change material, such as a photochromic, thermochromic or electrochromic pigment, ink or dye.
摘要:
A method of sealing the edges of a panel, and a capping strip therefor, in which at least one edge of the panel is covered by the capping strip (10) which comprises a pair of arms (12,13), linked together at their base (14) to form an open channel and which in use fit over the edge margin of a planar panel (11) inserted into the channel. A deformable membrane (15) extends between the two arms (12,13) forming a compartment adjacent the base of the channel and in use the membrane (15) sits against the edge (25) of an inserted panel (11) and side portions (16,17) of the membrane (15) seal against the sides of the panel.
摘要:
A glazed roof having a ridge and at least one free ridge end has a ventilation path through a ridge end component. Typically a Victorian or Edwardian style conservatory will have one or more ridge ends suitable for adoption of the present invention. At such a ridge end, glazing bars (19) extend downwardly and radially, a cover (20) sits over the ridge end and a decorative finial (38) is mounted on the cover. It is proposed that a generally vertical ventilation tube (24) be provided at the ridge end. Then the finial or other decorative cover may be fitted over the ventilation tube leaving a space between edges thereof through which air can escape.
