Abstract

A double roofing structure in which a water-proof drain plate is set on a backing. The rafter is fixed on the backing through the drain plate with a fixing member. Roof material or roof material holding member and inner layer material are placed and fixed on the rafter. A spacing layer communicating with an opening of the eaves is formed between the drain plate on the backing and the roof plate. The part communicating with the fixing member in the drain plate is formed with a projection.

Claims

1. A double roofing structure comprising:

a water-proof drain plate set on at least one backing;

a rafter fixed on the backing through the drain plate with a fixing member that has a pushing plate having a substantial channel shape;

a roof member placed and fixed on the rafter;

a spacing layer, communicating with an opening at an eave of the roofing structure, formed between the drain plate set on the backing and the roof member;

a projection formed on a part of the drain plate contacting with the fixing member, the projection of the drain plate being formed in substantially a same sectional shape as the pushing plate of the fixing member contacting with the projection; and

a water-proof member positioned between the pushing plate of the fixing member and an upper surface of the projection of the drain plate.

2. A double roofing structure according to claim 1, wherein the drain plate further includes right and left side edges and rising portions at the right and left side edges, the projection of the drain plate being formed between the rising portions.

3. A double roofing structure according to claim 1, wherein the drain plate further includes a plurality of engaging plates that each include rising portions at their respective right and left side edges, wherein the projection is formed by overlapping adjoining rising portions of the plates below the rafter.

4. A double roofing structure according to claim 1, wherein a flat surface of the drain plate is provided with one or more ribs for supporting the roof member.

5. A double roofing structure according to claim 1, wherein flanges of the rafter are closely contacted with the drain plate through the engaging portions of the pushing plate of the fixing member.

6. A double roofing structure according to claim 1, wherein flanges of the rafter are supported by the supporting portion of the pushing plate mounted on the drain plate.

7. A double roofing structure according to claim 1, wherein flanges of the rafter are supported at the supporting portions of the pushing plate mounted on the drain plate, a spacing is formed just below the supporting portions and the pushing plate is supported on the drain plate by supporting legs arranged on the pushing plate.

8. A double roofing structure according to claim 1, wherein the rafter is provided with a step part between an upper and aside surface of the rafter.

9. A double roofing structure according to claim 1, further comprising a thermal insulation material placed between the backing and the draining plate.

10. A double roofing structure according to claim 1, wherein the roof member includes roof material of metal, pile, slate or roof tile.

11. A double roofing structure according to claim 1, wherein the backing is made of a steel of a predetermined sectional shape and a lower inner layer material is placed on the backing.

12. A double roofing structure according to claim 1, wherein the backing is air-bubbled lightweight concrete, concrete or mortar.

13. A double roofing structure according to claim 1, wherein the roof member comprises a roof plate and a roof plate holding member.

14. A double roofing structure according to claim 1, wherein the roof member comprises a roof plate and an inner layer of material for supporting the roof plate.

15. A double roofing structure according to claim 1, wherein the drain plate further includes a plurality of engaging plates that each include rising portions at their respective right and left side edges, wherein adjoining rising portions of each of the engaging plates overlap with one another along a direction parallel to the rafter.

16. A double roofing structure comprising:

a water-proof drain plate supported by at least one backing;

a rafter fixed on the backing through the drain plate with a fixing member;

a roof member placed and fixed on the rafter;

a spacing layer, communicating with an opening at an eave of the roof structure, formed between the drain plate set on the backing and the roof member;

a projection formed on a portion of the drain plate contacting with the fixing member; and

a spacer member provided between an inner side of the projection of the drain plate and the fixing member and having a substantially trapezoidal sectional shape.

17. A double roofing structure according to claim 16, wherein the spacer member is rubber, resin or metal and prevents deformation of the projection and provides a water-sealed state.
