Definitions

  • This invention refers to a levelling part for cladding tiles for floors, walls and ceilings with rigid tiles.
  • cladding tiles such as ceramic pieces, tiles and others of a uniform thickness on floors, walls or other surfaces
  • a bonding layer on said surface, such as mortars or adhesives, on which the cladding tiles are placed.
  • This operation requires a certain precision on the part of the person laying the cladding tiles, since they should remain flat, aligned and level. It is well known that this process is slow, messy and delicate since each tile should be levelled and laid flush with adjacent pieces already laid, in a personal and completely artisanal fashion.
  • the first covering layer is laid and its position is checked with a spirit level, without further assistance or other tools. If the piece is not level, it is levelled by hitting it with a mallet.
  • the device includes a main member, a first section that extends transversally from the main member to receive a first tile and a second section that extends transversally from the main member in an opposite direction to the first section to receive a second tile.
  • a member is provided to penetrate the main member and exert force on both tiles to level them, one with respect to the other. Also provided is a method for levelling tiles.
  • document WO2008/118418 includes a first tile that has a first surface opposing a second surface, a second tile with a first surface opposing a second surface and a device that has a main member, a first section that extends transversally from the main member and a second section extending transversally from the main member in an opposite direction to the first section.
  • the first tile is on the first section and the second tile is on the second section.
  • An opening is formed through the main member and a member is provided to penetrate the opening and exert force against both tiles, pressing the tiles against the first and second sections.
  • the breaking section is situated between the first and second surface of each of the first and second tiles.
  • an opening is formed through the first section to allow adhesive to flow there through
  • an opening is formed through the second section to allow an adhesive to flow there through.
  • the opening formed through the main member includes a first edge opposing a second edge such that the first edge is further away from the first, and the second section than the second edge.
  • a stiffener portion is formed close to the first edge to bolster the first edge.
  • the main member includes a first notch that extends from a first edge of the main member and a second notch that extends from a second edge of the main member and the breaking section extends from the first notch to the second notch.
  • each of the first and second sections has at least one curved part having a curvature when viewed in cross-section, such that force reduces this curvature.
  • a tile-levelling device in another exemplary embodiment, includes a main member, a first section that extends transversally from the main member to receive a first tile that has a first surface opposing a second surface and a second section that extends transversally from said main member in the opposite direction to the first section to receive a second tile that has a first surface opposing a second surface.
  • a first opening is formed through the first section.
  • a second opening is formed through the second section.
  • a third opening is formed through the main member.
  • the opening formed through the main member includes a first edge opposing a second edge such that the first edge is further away from the first, and the second section than the second edge.
  • a stiffening portion is formed close to the first edge to bolster the first edge.
  • the device also includes a reduced-thickness separation section formed on the main member.
  • the main member also includes a first notch that extends from a first edge of the main member and a second notch that extends from a second edge of the main body and the separation section extends from the first to the second notch.
  • patent ES2598702T3 describes a levelling part that is «T-shaped» and comprises a preferably flat base, rectangular would be even more preferable, adapted to be disposed on a bonding product, such as mortar or glue, suitable for fixing the cladding tiles to the surface to be covered, it also comprises a second flat element connected perpendicularly to the base defining collinear connecting edges between the base and the second element.
  • a flat base is preferable because it provides greater contact surface between the base and the cladding tile and, therefore, lower and more uniform stress on the base due to the contact with the cladding tile.
  • the base may also incorporate cylindrical stiffeners, preferably in the form of a cylinder segment, such as a semi-cylinder, as well as brackets linking the cylinders to improve the resistance of the base.
  • the edges of the base furthest from the second element may be of a reduced thickness to facilitate the insertion of said base under the cladding tiles, as well as at the corners of said furthest edges from the second element, there may exist chamfers to lighten material, given that the part that transmits the greatest force is the part closest to the second element.
  • the second element is adapted to transmit a component of the forces exerted on said element to the base, said component having a perpendicular direction to the surface to be covered and outwards from said surface to be covered.
  • the second element has a first opening on its under side into which a wedge can be inserted.
  • the first opening is likewise limited in its upper part by a flange destined to make contact with the wedge.
  • the height of the first opening is related to the maximum height allowed for a cladding tile.
  • the second element may comprise protrusions to give additional thickness to the original thickness, suitable for connecting cladding tiles according to joints wider than the original thickness of the second element.
  • the protrusions may be disposed on the front and/or back part, and may be of varying thicknesses, allowing the devising of levelling parts that allow joints of different thicknesses to be made between cladding tiles.
  • the second element may incorporate ribs disposed from side to side to provide greater resistance.
  • the second element incorporates, at its edges, close to the connecting edges, rabbets designed to weaken against shearing stresses.
  • the dimensions of said rabbets will not be so elevated as to produce a responsive weakness in the face of forces of traction.
  • the levelling part is fabricated in injected plastic, due to the manufacturing simplicity that this technology provides, as well as its desirability with respect to cost.
  • the cladding tiles are laid on the surface to be covered, such that each side of the adjoining tiles that define a joint is disposed on at least one base, with each of the two tiles disposed to one side of said base with respect to the second element, wherein the connecting edges are disposed in substantially the same direction as the joint.
  • the document BR102014010232A2 discloses a levelling and alignment device for installing tiles.
  • this invention relates to a levelling and alignment device for laying tiles, comprising a wedge for levelling tiles and a main body; more specifically, the main body has a support base and at least one vertical member which extends along an axis substantially perpendicular to the base, and connected to the base support along a preferred fracture line; the first vertical member has an opening which extends from the support base, designed to receive the levelling wedge, and a contact portion designed to engage with the levelling wedge; the first vertical member comprises at least a pair of first side flaps having a thickness greater than the thickness of the first vertical member.
  • WO2015161366A1 discloses a system that system includes receivers and wedges. Each receiver has a planar element and a hook extending from the planar element in perpendicular relation. The hook is disposed as a tile spacer between a pair of tiles. The planar element is disposed beneath the tiles.
  • Each wedge has a clamping surface and a ribbed gripping surface orientated in angular relation to one another to meet in an edge; in use, extends through the aperture of a receiver such that: the planar surface is positioned in abutting relation against the tiles; and the hook is resiliently deformed, to provide for a clamped engagement of the tiles between the planar surface and the planar element, to provide for substantially coplanar relation; the gripping surface grips the receiver, to resist withdrawal of the wedge and maintain the clamped engagement until the mortar has cured.
  • the improvement comprises an arcuate arrangement of the ribs.
  • An object of this invention is a part for levelling rigid tiles, such as slabs or tiles, of the sort used to cover surfaces, such as floors, ceilings or walls. This object is achieved with the part of claim 1.
  • Other particular and/or preferred embodiments are described in the dependent claims.
  • the levelling part for cladding tiles which is «T-shaped» and comprises a base that is flat and «H-shaped», as well as an inverted «U-shaped» part that is flat and connected perpendicularly to the base, and which is characterised because the inverted «U-shaped» part in cooperation with the base generates a window that is limited in its upper part by a rib or stiffener which, in turn, presents two steps situated adjacent to the arms of the inverted «U-shaped» part, wherein this rib or stiffener is thicker than the thickness (e1) of the arms and also greater than the thickness (e2) of the inverted «U-shaped» part, e2 also being > e1.
  • variable-thickness structure and the steps in the stiffening rib, it is possible to use two different types of wedge, for example, a wider wedge and another one that is narrower, with the same levelling part, which is impossible to achieve with the documents known about in the prior art.
  • the levelling part for cladding tiles is shown in the attached figures and is configured to level rigid cladding tiles disposed on a flat surface -floor, ceiling or walls- and fixed by means of a layer of adhesive bonding, such as cement, mortar or adhesive.
  • the levelling part is «T-shaped» and comprises a base (2), which is flat and «H-shaped», and also comprises an inverted «U-shaped» part (3), that is flat and connected perpendicularly to the base (2).
  • the base is «H-shaped» for two reasons: on the one hand, it allows plastic to be saved during its manufacture and, on the other hand, it allows the cement, mortar or adhesive to enter the arms of the base (2), preventing it from having a vacuum effect as it is laid.
  • the base (2) also incorporates cylindrical-shaped stiffeners disposed longitudinally to the arms of the «H-shaped» base (2).
  • the edges of the base (2) furthest from the inverted «U-shaped» part (3) are of a reduced thickness to facilitate the insertion of said base (2) under the cladding tiles.
  • the edges (5) of the arms that conform the «H-shaped» base (2) are rounded to also facilitate the insertion of the base (2) under the cladding tiles.
  • the cladding tiles will be disposed on the surface, such that each of the sides of the two adjoining tiles that define a joint is disposed on at least one side of said base (2) and wherein each of the two tiles disposed to one side of said base (2) with respect to the inverted «U-shaped» part (3), wherein the arms of the «H-shaped base (2)» are disposed in substantially the same direction as the joint.
  • the inverted «U-shaped» part (3) in cooperation with the base (2) generates a window (6), into which a wedge can be inserted.
  • the window (6) is likewise limited in its upper part by a rib or stiffener (7) which, in turn, presents two steps (8) located adjacent to the arms (9) of the inverted «U-shaped» part (3).
  • This rib or stiffener (7) is of a greater thickness than the thickness (e1) of the arms (9) and also greater than the thickness (e2) of the inverted «U-shaped» part (3), e2 also being > e1.
