Definitions
- the invention relates to a decorative tile designed to give yet another alternative to the solid conventional tile.
- the design of the tile is based on the idea that within a de- corative tile,the lines that create the geometric pattern or picture design on the whole solid tile are themselves the main and important factor in giving the tile that decorative look- It is these lines that are extracted to become the main body of the tile, where as the non-decorative, plain areas of the tile are removed.
- the main decorative factor of the grid lines will become the body of the tile with the rectangular area between the grid being disregarded to create a grid line tile.
- one of the aims is to eliminate true straight edges but having a minimum of outer limits for contact with another tile so as to minimize the breaks in the continuity of a geometric pattern,text or simple picture tiling.
- the tile is constructed from flexible base materials with the upperside of the lines not being of a flat shape and can be affixed to glass, mirror, plastic; as it is of a see through nature and permit visibility.
- a tile is used external ⁇ ly on autoglass, such as a window and a windscreen or on a marine vessel, on the upper face of the tile can be a message to a third party , to discourage removal, that is located at a pre ⁇ determined position that can say "not reusable" or similar.
- the tile can be affixed to walls, fraings, wooden or metal panels and other surfaces, flat or curved to produce a textur ⁇ ed or contoured effect for decorative purposes.
- One way of earring out the invention is described in detail below with reference to the occompanying drawings in which:
- Figure 1 is a perspective view of a decorative tile in accordance with the invention showing the lines that constitutes the whole of the tile.
- Figure 2 shows a side view of the tile indicating the shape of the lines and thickness and also the backing sheet to the flat side of the tile.
- Figure 3 shows the decorative tile connected to other similar tiles by the outerlimits for contact to produce a picture design of a large area, displaying little or no apparent in ⁇ terruption in its creation.

Abstract
L'invention se rapporte à un carreau de carrelage décoratif (1) constitué de lignes (2) de formes, de largeurs et d'épaisseurs diffférentes, la face supérieure des lignes présentant une forme non plane (3) et la face inférieure des lignes étant plane (4) à l'endroit où s'effectue le contact avec le matériau adhésif. La feuille de fond protectrice (5) a la forme du rectangle de référence qui s'étend jusqu'aux limites externes de carreau, où s'effectue la jonction de contact (6) avec un carreau adjacent. Les pièces d'espacement et d'alignement amovibles (7) servent à assurer l'espacement requis entre les lignes. La jonction (8) se situe à l'endroit où peuvent être installés un petit organe d'éclairage ou un petit organe réfléchissant. Un message (9) destiné à un tiers peut être placé à l'endroit requis.The invention relates to a decorative tiling tile (1) consisting of lines (2) of different shapes, widths and thicknesses, the upper face of the lines having a non-planar shape (3) and the lower face of the lines being planar (4) at the point where the contact with the adhesive material takes place. The protective backsheet (5) has the shape of the reference rectangle which extends to the outer pane boundaries, where the contact junction (6) with an adjacent pane is made. The removable spacing and alignment pieces (7) serve to ensure the required spacing between the lines. The junction (8) is located where a small lighting device or a small reflecting device can be installed. A message (9) intended for a third party can be placed at the required place.
