Abstract

PURPOSE:To let a tile be firmly set onto a building frame with ease by provid ing the tile with a slant which is formed by chamfering, thereby setting the tile while the tile is being fixed by means of the slant piece of a fixture the fixing piece of which is fixed into a wall bed. CONSTITUTION:More than two sides of a tile in a square, a rectangular or in a polygon as a front face form, which has two parallel sides at the opposite sides, are chamfered so that each slant 2 is formed. In the second place, the fixing piece 4 of a fixture 3 is fixed in a wall bed, the tile 1 is set thereafter from one side toward the opposite direction while the tile 1 is being movably supported by two slant pieces 5 and 6 at the two sides of the slant 2. Therefore, the tile can be firmly set so that it will never come off even when it is subjected to physical impact such as earthquakes, fire and the like.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Industrial Field of Application] The present invention relates to tiles that are installed on the outer walls of large structures such as buildings and houses, and a method for installing the tiles.

[Prior Art] Tiles that are conventionally installed on interior and exterior walls are fixed to a building frame using mortar, organic adhesive, or the like.

[Problems to be Solved by the Invention] Conventional tile construction methods have the following problems. Fixing tiles with mortar or the like requires a curing period, has disadvantages such as tiles peeling off due to freezing and thawing, and requires specialized techniques for construction. On the other hand, fixing with organic adhesives requires a certain amount of curing period, although not as long as mortar, and in the unlikely event of a fire, the adhesive layer may burn, causing tiles to fall, resulting in fire prevention and safety issues. There are drawbacks.

[Means for solving the problem] In order to solve the above problem, two or more sides of a tile having a square or rectangular front shape, or a polygon having two parallel opposing sides are chamfered to have an inclined surface, In order to fix the tile, a fixing device was prepared that consisted of a fixing piece for fixing the fixing device itself to the wall base and an inclined piece for fixing the inclined surface of the tile. The tiles were installed by fixing the two sloped sides of the tiles with the fixtures so that the tiles could be firmly fixed to the wall surface.

[Operation] According to the above construction method, the two sides of the polygonal tile are fixed by the upwardly inclined piece and the downwardly inclined piece of the fixing device, so the tile is moved from one side to the opposite direction. When the tiles are stretched, the tiles are easily and firmly fixed to the wall base.

[Example] An example will be described with reference to the drawings. As shown in FIG. 2, a tile l is rectangular and has an inclined surface 2 by cutting two opposing sides diagonally. The front shape of the tile may be any shape, such as a square, rectangle, or regular hexagon, as long as it has sloped surfaces on two opposing sides.

As shown in A and B in FIG. 3, the fixing device 3 has a fixing part 4 for fixing the fixing device itself to the rod body with nails or the like, and an upwardly inclined piece 5 and a downwardly inclined piece 6 for fixing the inclined surface of the tile. are doing.

A in Fig. 3 is an example of a plate formed by press working, etc., and B
shows an example of extrusion molding of aluminum, etc. Furthermore, if nailing holes 7 are provided in advance in the fixing piece, construction will be made more smoothly. In addition to the shape shown in FIG. 3, the fixture may have various shapes as shown in the cross-sectional view of FIG. 4.

The construction of tiles will be explained using an example in which the tiles are installed from the bottom to the top. First, the fixture or the starter 8, which has substantially the same shape as the fixture and does not have a downwardly sloping piece, is attached to the frame.

Next, attach the tile (A) so that one side of the tile with an inclined surface is locked to a fixture or a starter. Next, attach the fixture to the knitted body by placing the downwardly inclined piece of the fixture against the upper slope of the tile (A). Furthermore, a tile (mouth) is installed on top of the fixture. Repeat this process upwards. At this time, if adhesive is applied to the back side of the tile, the tile will be firmly fixed to the structure. Here, the upwardly sloping piece and the downwardly sloping piece of the fixture are exposed to the outside of the wall, but by covering the tile joints with caulking agent 9 and hiding the fixture as shown in FIG. 6, the appearance is improved.

If the widths α and β of the upwardly inclined piece and the downwardly inclined piece of the fixture are made shorter than the width γ of the inclined surface of the tile, the finish of the construction surface will be good and caulking will be easier.

[Effects of the Invention] According to the present invention, the tiles are more firmly attached to the rod, and are not easily removed even by earthquakes, fires, and other physical shocks. Additionally, no specialized skills are required for pasting, and tiles can be easily and quickly put up. The above effect is particularly noticeable with large tiles.

4. Detailed Description of the Figures Figure 1 is a cross-sectional view showing joints in detail in an example of tile construction, Figure 2 is a perspective view of an example of a tile, and Figure 3 is a perspective view of an example of a fixture. , (a) to (f) in Fig. 4
5 is a sectional view showing another example of the fixture, and FIGS. 5 and 6 are sectional views showing an example of tile construction.

In the figure, 1 is a tile, 2 is an inclined surface, 3 is a fixture, 4 is a fixing piece, 5 is an upwardly inclined piece, and 6 is a downwardly inclined piece.

Claims (1)

[Claims] 1. A polygonal tile with a front face shape having at least two opposing sides that are parallel and of equal length, characterized in that the two sides of the tile decorative surface are chamfered to have an inclined surface. tile. 2. The fixing device for fixing the tile to the building frame has a fixing piece for fixing the fixing device itself with nails, etc., and a surface folded upward at an acute angle from the bottom of the fixing piece to lock the inclined surface of the tile. A fixing device comprising an upwardly sloping piece that can be bent, and a downwardly inclined piece that has a surface folded downward at an obtuse angle from the lower part of the fixing part and can lock the inclined surface of another tile. 3. Fix the fixing piece of the fixing device to the frame with nails, etc., insert one side of the tile with the sloped surface between the fixing piece and the upwardly sloping piece, and attach the other fixing device to the other side of the tile using the downwardly sloping piece.
