Sealing device for facades and/or roofs

The sealing device serves for tightly sealing the gap (6) between adjacent elements (1) of the inclined facade or roof against the access of water, by forming several sealing planes (A--A, B--B, C--C, D--D). To this effect a network of sealing pieces is created. These pieces each consist of a lower portion (21) and an upper one (22). The lower portion (21) also acts as a support for the elements and comprises a bearing surface (214) each between two sealing lips (212, 213). The upper portion (22) consists of a metal rail (22) and of a sealing stip (222) which overlaps the rail laterally and rest on the elements. That sealing strip which extends in the slope or direction of the fall comprises two substantially vertical webs (228). These webs form a drainage channel for water that may have penetrated, together with substantially parallel lateral sealing lips (224) which also seal the faces of the elements. Additional channels are formed between the sealing strips and the metal rail (220) extending in between them. The sealing pieces running transversely to the line of fall are of simpler design. Junctions of particular design on those locations where the sealing pieces of one kind intersect the others serve for maintaining these junctions absolutely tight, too. |

DETAILED DESCRIPTION We claim: 1.
A roofs or facade assembly comprising: a plurality of supports each formed with a respective outer side; a respective inner sealing strip on the outer side; a pair of prefabricated individual surface-forming elements on said inner strip arranged edge to edge forming a gap to be sealed therebetween, each said of surface-forming elements being formed with a respective outer surface and an inner surface, the inner strip extending between the surface-forming elements and being in contact with said inner surfaces; a one-piece outer strip spaced from the inner strip and formed with: a pair of side walls tapering inwardly into the gap to be sealed, a respective strip flange extending laterally outwardly from each of the side walls and overlapping and contacting the outer surface of the respective surface-forming element adjacent the gap, a web in the gap bridging the side walls and forming a compartment therewith, and a respective inner lip on each of opposite edges of the web extending angularly outwardly towards and pressing against the respective edge of the pair of the ace-forming elements; a metal rail extending into said compartment and said gap and formed with: a pair of spaced apart rail flanges respective ones of the strip flanges and a pair of inwardly tapering legs extending into the compartment and connected with the respective rail flanges, the rail and the outer strip forming an outer seal for the gap; and a fastening bolt engaging the support and the rail and urging the inner and outer strips against the respective inner and outer surfaces of the surface-forming elements with the inner lips sealably pressed against the respective edges thereof upon tightening of the bolt and so that said elements can assume a variety of angles between them while being sealed at said gap.
2.
The assembly defined in claim 1 wherein the support has an inverted U-shaped cross section, the inner strip being formed with a pair of spaced apart flanks abutting side walls of the support
