Material for production of junctions between two objects

Abstract

The invention relates to a material for the formation of connections between two objects, for example between a roofing tile and a ridge tile. This material is a deformable filter foam, which is impregnated with a substance which is cured when exposed to air. Before the connection is formed, the filter foam with the substance impregnating it, is sealed airtight. When the connection is to be formed, the airtight seal is removed and the substance introduced between the objects to be connected. Due to the exposure to air, which is now possible, the substance becomes cured. This lends the previously soft filter foam a solid structure.

1 . Material for forming connections between two objects ( 8 ,  10 ) of a roof ridge, which comprises a filter foam ( 11 ,  12 ) deformable in the starting state as well as a substance impregnating the filter foam ( 11 ,  12 ), characterized in that the substance impregnating the filter foam ( 11 ,  12 ) under the exclusion of air has a pasty, sticky and viscous aggregate state and, through the admission of air, assumes a solid aggregate state, and, upon assuming the solid aggregate state, connects the two objects ( 8 ,  10 ) with one another by adhesion and the filter foam ( 11 ,  12 ), after the substance is cured, remains porous, such that air can penetrate through it.

       10 . Material as claimed in  claim 1 , characterized in that the one object is a roofing tile ( 8 ,  9 ) and the other object is a ridge tile ( 10 ). 
   
   
       11 . Material as claimed in  claim 1 , characterized in that it is present in the form of two foamed material components ( 11 ,  12 ), of which the one foamed material component ( 11 ) connects a first roofing tile ( 8 ) with a ridge tile ( 10 ), while the other foamed material component ( 12 ) connects a second roofing tile ( 9 ) with the same ridge tile ( 10 ). 
   
   
       12 . Material as claimed in  claim 1 , characterized in that it is present in the form of a single piece foamed material component ( 20 ), which connects a first roofing tile ( 8 ) with a ridge tile ( 10 ) and a second roofing tile ( 9 ) with the same ridge tile ( 10 ). 
   
   
       13 . Material as claimed in  claim 12 , characterized in that the foamed material component ( 20 ) has substantially an H-form cross section. 
   
   
       14 . Material as claimed in  claim 13 , characterized in that the side parts ( 25 ,  26 ) of the H-form foamed material component ( 20 ) are provided with adhesive agent layers ( 21  to  24 ) on their upper and lower side. 
   
   
       15 . Material as claimed in  claim 11 , characterized in that the two foamed material components ( 11 ,  12 ) are of identical form. 
   
   
       16 . A material configured to connect and hold two objects of a roof ridge together upon assembly, which material comprises:
 a polyurethane filter foam being configured to be deformed in the starting state;   said filter foam being configured to expand upon admission of air;   a substance impregnating said filter foam, said substance being an acrylic resin lacquer;   said acrylic resin lacquer being configured to have a pasty, sticky and viscous aggregate state under the exclusion of air, and also being configured to assume a solid aggregate state upon the admission of air;   said acrylic resin lacquer being configured, upon assuming the solid aggregate state, to connect and hold the two objects by adhesion to said filter foam and thus to connect and hold the two objects to each other; and   said filter foam being configured, upon expansion thereof and upon said acrylic resin lacquer assuming the solid aggregate state, to remain porous, air-permeable, and water-impermeable.
