Abstract

A roof covering element (a tile-like sheet) equipped with embossments according to the present invention characterizes in that the surface of the lower edge (2) of the roof covering element (1) has at least one embossment (3) done downwards and inwards in relation to the roof covering element (1) with an assembling hole (4) prepared centrally. A bottom of that embossment (3) is at zero or acute angle with the surface of the lower edge (2). The surface of the upper edge (5) of the roof covering element (1) has at least one embossment (6) done downwards and inwards in relation to the covering element (1) with an assembling hole (7) prepared centrally. A bottom of that embossment (6), preferably of circular shape, is at zero or acute angle with the surface of the upper edge (5).

Claims

1. A roof covering element in the form of a tile-like sheet, having side edges, upper and lower edges, the roof covering element comprising a series of modules including upper and lower planes, each of the series of modules including side edges and wave-shaped ribs stretched parallel to upper and lower edges, wherein the rib in the lower edge is in the form of a profiled bend having an upper part extending into the lower plane, and a lower part terminating with an arched slant directed beneath the roof covering element, and wherein the rib in the upper edge is in the form of a second profiled bend having an upper part extending into an ending surface and a lower part extending into the upper plane, characterized in that a surface of the lower edge (2) of the roof covering element (1) has at least one embossment (3) extending downwards and inwards in relation to the surface of the lower edge (2), with an assembling hole (4) formed centrally therein, and a bottom of the embossment (3) is at a zero or an acute angle with respect to the surface of the lower edge (2), and a surface of the upper edge (5) of the roof covering element (1) has at least one embossment (6) extending downwards and inwards in relation to the the surface of the upper edge (5) with an assembling hole (7) formed centrally therein, and a bottom of the embossment (6) is at a zero or an acute angle with respect to the surface of the upper edge (5), wherein the angle of the bottom of the embossment in the surface of the lower edge matches the angle of the bottom of the embossment in the surface of the upper edge.

2. A roof covering element (tile-like sheet) according to the claim 1 characterized in that the bottom of the embossment (3) of the lower edge (2) surface is circle-shaped.

3. A roof covering element (tile-like sheet) according to the claim 1 characterized in that the bottom of embossment (6) of the upper edge (5) surface is circle-shaped.

4. A roof covering element (tile-like sheet) according to the claim 1 characterized in that edges of the assembling hole (4) in the lower edge (2) surface are bent downwards and inwards in relation to the the surface of the lower edge (2).

5. A roof covering element (tile-like sheet) according to the claim 1 characterized in that edges of the assembling hole (7) in the upper edge (5) surface are bent downwards and inwards in relation to the the surface of the upper edge (5).

6. A roof covering element (tile-like sheet) according to the claim 1 characterized in that the assembling hole (4) in the lower edge (2) surface is formed as a sunken embossment (4.1) with a flat bottom (4.2) parallel to the lower edge (2) surface.

7. A roof covering element (tile-like sheet) according to the claim 1 characterized in that the assembling hole (7) in the upper edge (5) surface is formed as a sunken embossment (7.1) with a flat bottom (7.2) parallel to the upper edge (5) surface.

8. A roof covering element (tile-like sheet) according to the claim 1 characterized in that a distance from a center of the assembling hole (4) in the embossment (3) in the lower edge (2) surface to a bottom plane of the lower plane (9) is greater than a distance from a center of the assembling hole (7) in the embossment (6) in the upper edge (5) surface to a bottom plane of the ending surface (10) of the roof covering element (1), by a value equal to the thickness of material of which the roof covering (1) is made of.
