Interlocking composite roof panel (hurricane proof roof) version 2

Abstract

A hurricane proof roof made of interlocking composite panels to form a super strong barrier on your house, and watertight seal. The composite with a tensile strength of 4000 PSI is with able to stand repeated punishment from flying debris at tremendous velocity and suffer only minor indentation. Because of its low profile and strength it can't be bent upward, so even the strongest winds can't get hold of it in an attempt to lift it off.

Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

1. Field of the invention

The invention relates to residential sloped roofing.

2. Description of related art.

A plastic roof tile U.S. Pat. No. 5,295,339 to Manner is the only composite roof I could find, however no other likenesses are present. The invention shares looks of a metal roof panel from the 1800's, but again the likeness stops there.

Living in a hurricane zone created the problem of all types of roofs being destroyed or damaged. So I designed a new style of roof, and used new composite materials to combat this problem head on.

SUMMERY OF THE INVENTION

Hurricane Proof Roof

A hurricane proof roof made of interlocking composite panels to form a super strong barrier on your house, and watertight seal.

By making it panel style seams are reduced to a minimum and installation is easier.

By switching to a composite such as HDPE, the tensile strength of the panel jumps from around 250 PSI to 4000 PSI, and the weight is dropped to ⅛ that of clay or cement tiles.

BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF DRAWINGS

FIG. 1 is an extended profile view.

FIG. 2 Shows profiles snapping together.

FIG. 3 Shows profile interlocked with next panel.

DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS

Referring to FIG. 1, Model A. first embodiment of the hurricane proof roof of the present invention is designated generally by the reference numeral 10. The profile 10 is the main panel, which makes up the roof once locked together with many more. 11 shows the male portion of the interlocking mechanism. 12 shows the female side of the water stop behind the locking mechanism. 13 shows the female side of the mounting plate. 20 is the screw placement on the mounting plate.

Referring to FIG. 2, a first embodiment of the hurricane proof roof of the present invention is designated generally by the reference numeral 10. 11 shows the male portion of the interlocking mechanism. 14 is the female side of the interlocking mechanism. 15 shows the male side of the water stop. 16 is mounting plate. 17 shows second panel 10 being snapped into place on first panel, also 10. 19 shows hidden nail placement in mounting plate.

Referring to FIG. 3, 18 shows interlocked panels down creating an almost seamless surface. 19 shows hidden screw placement in mounting plate of panel one 10. 21 shows placement of next screw in 10 second panels mounting plate 16.
