ABSTRACT:
An improved roof tile securing means for securing roof tiles to a roof structure comprising a plurality of elongate tile support battens each having an upstanding web, an upper flange extending to one side of the web, and a lower flange extending to one side of the web, the flanges being approximately parallel, securing means for securing the tile support battens to the roof structure in spaced apart parallel relationship, wherein each roof tile has an upper or head end portion supported on the upper surface of the lower flange of one tile support batten, and a lower or tail end portion which is supported by the upper flange of an adjacent lower batten, the lower or tail end portion overlapping the upper or head end portion of an adjacent lower tile. A groove or slot forming walls forming an upper flange locating groove or slot is located on the underside of the roof tile near to and facing in the direction of its lower or tail end portion. The upper flange of each batten is arranged to engage within a respective groove or slot, whereby with the upper flange so engaged, the lower or tail end portion of each tile is restrained against upward lifting movement.
