Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a fitting assistance tool plates, in particular tiling, commonly referred to as tiles.
  • this wall is coated with an attachment material, we put the tiles next to each other by interposing between them, in the corners, shaped spacers of stars, so that these tiles are evenly spaced. Then, preferably after the bonding material has hardened above, we fill the space between the tiles with a material constituting a joint. So that the aforementioned spacers are not visible from the outside and for this joint to be correct, the installer press in the spacers with a pointed tool such as the tip of a screwdriver. During this operation which is done when the material is not dry, sometimes the spacers come off between the tiles and penetrate into the hanging material of such so that the tiles are no longer held and can slide together compared to the others, their spacing then no longer being constant.
  • the object of the present invention is in particular to remedy this disadvantage.
  • the tool for assisting with the installation of plates, in particular tiling, laid next to each other and separated by spacers comprises, according to the invention, a body having a front face provided with at least one part projecting towards the front and gripping means located opposite to this face front, said projecting part being dimensioned so as to be able freely engage between at least two plates placed in order to push back or push in the spacer installed between these plates.
  • the distance between the front edge of said projecting part and said front face is preferably at most equal to the thickness of said plates.
  • said projecting part has at least one inclined sidewall dimensioned so that this inclined flank constitutes a stop likely to come against the corner at least one plate installed.
  • said projecting part comprises preferably two ribs forming a cross.
  • At least one of said ribs comprises preferably two parts located on either side and at a distance from the other rib.
  • said ribs are V-shaped section so as to present converging flanks towards the front likely to come against the corners of the plates placed.
  • said body comprises a plate, one of which front face is preferably provided with said projecting part and of which a rear face is provided with said gripping means.
  • said gripping means comprise preferably a ring.
  • said gripping means comprise preferably two branches delimiting between them a passage.
  • At least one of said branches is preferably spread apart from the other in an elastic manner so as to form an open ring of variable size.
  • the feet of said branches have preferably joints and these branches are preferably connected by a kneepad keeping them elastically apart or close together from an intermediate position.
  • said passage preferably extends parallel to one of said ribs.
  • the assistance tool 1 shown in the figures comprises a monobloc body 2, for example of a plastic material, which comprises a circular plate 3 which has a flat front face 4 on which is formed a projecting part 5 consisting of two diametrical ribs 6 and 7 which extend perpendicularly from so as to form a cross.
  • the rib 6 extends from one edge to the other of the plate 3 while the rib 7 is formed by two parts 7a and 7b located on either side and at a distance from the rib 6, starting from the board edge 3.
  • the tool 1 also comprises gripping means 8 which extend rearwards from the rear face 9 of the plate 3.
  • These gripping means 8 comprise two branches 10 and 11 which are connected to the plate 3 by parallel portions 10a and 11a reduced thicknesses constituting joints, these portions being for example parallel to the rib 6 so that the passage between the branches 10 and 11 extends parallel to this rib.
  • branches 10 and 11 are arched in an opposite manner in order to form an open ring between their free ends 10b and 11b.
  • the dimension of the passage formed between branches 10 and 11 is thus variable dimension when branches 10 and 11 are pivoted around joints 10a and 11a.
  • the legs of the branches 10 and 11 are connected by two legs 12 and 13, interconnected, dimensioned so that the branches 10 and 11 are likely to be kept elastically apart, as shown in particular in Figure 4, or close together, as the shows in particular Figure 5, on either side of a position intermediate.
  • the gripping means 8 are thus adapted so that that tool 1 can be installed on a user's finger in the manner of a ring. He just has to pass his finger between the branches 10 and 11 and bring branches 10 and 11 together, placing the tray 3 on the outside of the finger.
  • the installer inserts between the plates 15, between their adjacent corners, a spacer or cross 17 in the shape of a star with four perpendicular branches, so that the spacing between the plates 15 is constant.
  • the spacer 17 is placed flush with the front face of the plates 15.
  • spacers 17 are inserted between the corners of all of the plates 15 constituting the wall 14.
  • the installer Before the bonding material 16 is hardened, the installer presents the tool 1 in front of the spacer 17 in a position such that its ribs 6 and 7 extend respectively parallel to the branches of the spacer 17.
  • the installer brings the ribs 6 and 7 of the tool 1 pressing on the spacer 17 and pressing so as to push it in by engaging the ribs 6 and 7 between the plates 15, until the front face 4 of the plate 3 comes in press against the outer face of the plates 15. After which, the installer remove tool 1.
  • the installer does the same on all the spacers installed.
  • the ribs 6 and 7 of the tool 1 are dimensioned so that their thickness, parallel to the front face 4 of the plate 3, is at most equal to the thickness of the branches of the spacer 17 so as to ability to freely engage between plates 15.
  • the thickness of the ribs 6 and 7, perpendicular to the front face 4 of the plate 3, is such that when the front face 4 of the plate 3 is in abutment against the external face of the plates 15, the spacer 17 still extends between the plates 15, as shown in the Figure 8, so that their spacing is still maintained by this spacer 17.
  • the distance from the front edge of the projecting part 5 and the front face 4 is at most equal to the thickness plates 15.
  • the addition of the thickness of the ribs 6 and 7, perpendicular to the front face 4 of the plate 3, and the thickness of the spacer 17 is at most equal to the thickness of the plates 15, so that the spacer 17 remains between the plates 15 but is set back from their front faces.
  • the tips of the ribs 6 and 7 come on the spacer 17 and the sides 18a and 18b of the ribs 6 and 7 constitute, before the front face 4 of the plate 3 reaches the face front of the plates 15, stops coming against the front corners of the plates 15 placed so as to limit the engagement of the ribs 6 and 7 between the plates 15.
  • the penetration of the spacer 17 depends on the angle that form between them the sides 18a and 18b of the ribs 6 and 7 and of the distance between the plates 15 determined by the width of the branches of the spacer 17.
  • the greater the penetration of the spacer that the distance between the plates 15 will be great, the limit being reached when the front face 4 of the plate 3 touches the front face of the plates 15.
