Definitions

  • the translationally shiftable surfaces can further be more than one in number, each carrying one or more layers.
  • the tiles are to have a geometrical surface decoration
  • at least some of said vessels are provided with means for distributing the material on a suitable support surface, such as a translationally shiftable belt, to be called the collection belt, via means arranged to intercept the falling material flow, to shape it in accordance with the desired pattern.
  • the collection belt which is conveniently supported by a loading device positioned in front of the ceramic mould, can be made to advance towards this latter until the front generating line of its upper portion comes into vertical alignment with the edge of that forming cavity situated on the opposite side to that where said loading device is located.
  • Said third layer has a thickness preferably of between 5 and 20 mm.
  • the second intermediate belt is overlaid by a series of loading hoppers each containing a single-colour material.
  • the collection belt 8 extends between a motorized rear roller 9 and an idle front roller 10, with which there is associated a usual pusher with scraper 333 for discharging the formed tiles and removing excess powder mixture.
  • the hopper 18 and the hoppers A1...D1 which are provided with lower closure gates, are as wide as the front of the press and as the underlying belts 17, 19 and 8, are overlaid by a traversing distributor 181, 20, 21, 22, 23 respectively, which receives a flexible feed tube 182, 200, 201, 202, 203 respectively.
  • the flexible tube 182 is connected to an overlying silo, not shown.
  • the hoppers A1...D1 are movable vertically from a position adjacent to the belt 19, to a raised position.
  • the belt 24 is as wide as the underlying belt 8 and carries a succession of decoration screens 241 arranged in lines of three (see Figure 4).
  • the collection vessels A, B, C and D are overlaid by a distributor belt 26 passing about two rollers 260 mounted on a frame 27 which can be moved translationally in a horizontal direction to position the end of the belt 26 above one or another of said collection vessels.
  • a blade mixer 36 or equivalent driven by a geared motor unit 35, which is operated when desired.
  • Each vessel feeds the underlying hopper A1, B1, C1, D1 via the respective flexible tube 200, 201, 202, 203 and the respective reciprocating feeder 20, 21, 22, 23.
  • Control means of usual type ensure that a sufficient quantity of material is present in each of said vessels and said hoppers, each of which hence contains a material of different quality.
  • the powder layer is made to advance by the belt 8 until, on passing below the end of the belt 19 at the same speed thereas, it receives a convenient layer of background material discharged in the illustrated example by the hopper C1, which at the appropriate moment is closed and raised into its rest position.
  • the loading device 4 shown in Figure 1 is formed as shown in Figure 6, in which it consists of a single frame 70 which supports two aligned collection belts 81 and 82 and is connected to the geared motor unit 5 via the connecting rod 6.
  • the frames 81 and 82 are moved in opposite directions.
  • the hopper 33 causes a certain quantity of powder material to fall through the decoration screens 241, to form a powder pattern on the underlying collection belt 82.
  • the pattern so formed is advanced by the belt 82 as far as the front end of the feed belt 19, which advances at the same speed as the belt 82 to deposit on the powder pattern a uniform layer of background material created by one of the hoppers A1....D1 on said belt 19.
  • the frame 70 is made to move translationally until positioned as shown in the figure with dashed lines and is then made to withdraw while the belt 82 advances because of the provision of the rack 16 and free-wheel pinion 15, to discharge the two layers (pattern and background) in the mould 2.
  • the belt 81 begins to advance, at the withdrawal speed of the frame 70, when its left end is in correspondence with the left end of the mould 2, so as to discharge the base material into the mould.
  • the tile is formed inverted, ie with its exposed side facing downwards, however it could evidently be formed the right way up.
  • the plant shown in Figure 7 is used, in which the tile base material depositing device, consisting of the elements 17, 18, 180, 181, 182 shown in Figure 1, is positioned upstream of the device which deposits the material forming the tile background.
  • the powder is fed to the mould cavity by a usual loading system 50 provided with a loading trolley.
  • the trolley 502 is fed by the collection belt 51 which is entirely similar to and and driven in the same manner as the belt 8 of Figure 1.
  • the frame 52 is provided upperly with four equidistant flat cross-members of rectangular section which are positioned in correspondence with the space lying between the rows of screens 53 and the frame 52 and the space between two adjacent rows of screens 53.
  • the function of the cross-members 54 is to close the lower mouth of three hoppers 55, which move simultaneously and alternately between two adjacent cross-members to feed powder to the underlying screens at each outward or return travel stroke.
  • Said hoppers 55 run on two fixed guides 56 connected to the supporting structure of the frame 52, each of them being fed by a traversing flexible tube 57 which, when not feeding the hoppers 55, is positioned on one of the two horizontal plates 58 situated at the ends of each hopper 55.
