The present invention relates to a roof covering element (tiles- like sheet) equipped with an angle bracket.

The roof covering element made of a board material, comprising the first and second side edges, upper and lower edges, is known from the patent application description no. P396691. The element has series of modules substantially done parallel to the side edges, creating upper and lower plane. The modules have two or more wave-shaped ribs stretched parallel to the upper and lower edges. One of the ribs is done in the lower edge in form of profiled bends folded beneath the roof covering element. The lower bend is at the right angle to the lower plane. Upper part of the lower bend links with the lower plane by an arch. Lower part of the lower bend ends as an arched slant directed beneath the roof covering element. The roof covering element has the upper rib, which cross-section is in form of the upper bend at the right angle to the upper plane and to the ending plane of the roof covering element. Lower part of the upper bend forms a semicircular deflection folded outwards the roof covering element and which links with the upper plane. Upper part of the upper bend links with the ending plane of the roof covering plane by an arch.

From the Polish patent application P398857, there is also known the roof covering element (tiles-like sheet) equipped with embossments, and it characterises in that the surface of the lower edge of the roof covering element has at least one embossment done toward underside of the roof covering element with an assembling hole prepared centrally. A bottom of the embossment is at zero or acute angle with the surface of the lower edge. The surface of the upper edge of the roof covering element has at least one embossment done outwards of the roof covering element with an assembling hole prepared centrally. A bottom of the embossment is at zero or acute angle with the surface of the upper edge.

The roof covering element (tile-like sheet) equipped with an angle bracket according to the invention characterises in that the ending surface of the roof covering element, in the wave-shaped rib of the upper edge surface, preferably in a part without assembling hole, has at least one notch, of preferably rectangular shape, in which is placed an angle bracket. The notch width is bigger than the angle bracket width.

Preferably, a section done by doubled cuts of the ending surface is bent towards the upper edge from the side of endings surface and it adjoins to the upper edge.

Preferably, a horizontal part of the angle bracket has at least one hole. Preferably, a frontal part of the angle bracket is parallel to the back part.

Preferably, the frontal part of the angle bracket and the back part produce an acute angle. Preferably, the frontal part and the back part of the angle bracket produce a right or open angle.

Preferably, the frontal part of the angle bracket has a bottom edge being straight and parallel to the horizontal part of the angle bracket. Between the back part and the horizontal part of the angle bracket there is a camber, which shape corresponds to a semicircular deflection of the roof covering element.

Preferably, the frontal part of the angle bracket has a bottom edge ended with a slant directed outwards, beyond surface of the frontal part of the angle bracket.

Preferably, there is a rib between the back part and the horizontal part of the angle bracket.

Preferably, the preferably frontal part of the angle bracket has a bottom edge ended with a slant, which is between the frontal part and the back part of the angle bracket. The frontal part and back part of the angle bracket are connected together with a horizontal connector.

Preferably, the frontal part of the angle bracket has a bottom edge ended with a slant, which is located between the frontal part and the bottom part of the back part of the angle bracket parallel to the frontal part of the angle bracket. The upper part of the back part of the angle bracket produce an acute angle with the frontal part of the angle bracket.

The roof covering element (tile-like sheet) equipped with an angle bracket according to the invention provides efficient assembling of the sheets to the roof battens without commonly used holes done in the horizontal surfaces of the panels. There are no metal chips being a corrosion centre. Number of used angle brackets depends on predicted roof burden with different forces. A notch for an angle bracket done in an ending surface with a slant section provides additional the bracket protection from contact with a sharp edge which would appear after removing of the section.
