Definitions

  • the backing is constituted by a grid made of perforated cardboard or glass fiber that is glued onto the unfinished faces of the tesserae, that is to say, the faces that are not intended to remain in view.
  • the grid will therefore remain imprisoned in the cement or other material with which the panel is anchored.
  • the grid reduces the anchorage surface of the panel and this reduction, in accordance with regulations in force in numerous countries, is tolerated up to a percentage of 20%. This percentage is exceeded by the greater part of the grids that have hitherto been used. In the case of a grid made of paper material, moreover, there may arise problems in the presence of humidity, because the grid will then tend to rot.
  • the paper is removed after the installation of the panel - when the anchorage material has thoroughly dried - by wetting the outside of the panel. The installer must however wait until the paper has absorbed the water, pull off the sheet and then wash the tesserae to remove the residual glue. The operation is therefore rather slow and troublesome.
  • a second drawback is due to the fact that the paper is not transparent, so that the installer does not have a clear view of the tesserae and it becomes more difficult to position them accurately.
  • Another known system makes use of an adhesive band that is unwound from a reel of appropriate width and cut into portions of the desired length.
  • Each portion intended to form a support sheet of a panel, is deposited from above onto a vacuum-type transport roller mounted on a horizontal axis. More precisely, the sheet is deposited with its adhesive face turned to the outside and is retained by the surface of the roller due to the effect of a moderate depression, created within the roller by suitable suction means and acting through a series of appropriately distributed holes formed in the surface of the roller.
  • a conveyor belt extends horizontally below the roller and feeds the tesserae - that have previously been ordered on appropriate pitted grids - in such a way that the finished faces of the tesserae will intercept the surface of the roller tangentially and that, consequently, the sheet, following the rotation of the roller, will come into contact with the tesserae and adhere to them.
  • the adhesive force overcomes the suction force exerted by the roller, so that the sheet becomes detached and dragged away together with the tesserae, thus forming the panel.
  • the adhesive sheet has to be removed after a certain time during the course of the installation of the panel.
  • the characteristics of the adhesion between sheet and tesserae must therefore be appropriately balanced, in such a way as to find the right compromise between opposite needs.
  • the adhesion must not be excessively strong, because in that case the removal of the sheet would become troublesome and could imply the detachment of tesserae from the cement, or residues of adhesive substance remaining on the finished faces, residues that would obviously have to be cleaned with consequent longer working times and greater installation costs. If the adhesion is too weak, on the other hand, the tesserae may drop off during the operations of handling the panels, both in the transport and storage phases and, above all, in the installation phases.
  • the main object of the invention is to provide a new method for producing mosaic panels for facings and pavements that will overcome the mentioned drawbacks of the technique that has just been described and are essentially associated with the use of adhesive band and the particular characteristics of this material.
  • a particular object of the present invention is to provide a method of the aforementioned type that will make it possible to use as support sheet of the tesserae a material that is cheaper and easier to handle than the adhesive band in accordance with the known technique.
  • Yet another particular object of the present invention is to provide a method of the aforementioned type that will make it possible to obtain an adhesion between the tesserae and the support sheet that will prove perfectly satisfactory in relation to the various needs that have to be met as from the moment of forming the panel right through to its installation and, above all, an adhesion of which the strength will not be appreciably affected by normal variations of the environmental temperature and humidity.
  • a support sheet is removably connected with the finished faces of an ordered grouping of tesserae constituting said mosaic.
  • the method is characterized in that the support sheet consists in a film of non-adhesive plastic material on which, prior to being coupled with the grouping, there is dispensed a distribution of hot glue capable of affecting all the tesserae of the grouping.
  • the glue exerts a relatively great adhesive force on the sheet and a smaller force on the tesserae, so that the connection of the tesserae to the sheet can resist the detachment stresses due to the weight of the tesserae that occur during the normal operations of handling the panel before it is installed, and so that when the panel is installed and the support sheet is removed, the glue remains attached to the sheet.
  • An apparatus for carrying out the method, and a mosaic panel for facings and pavements obtained by means of the method in accordance with the invention have the essential characteristics set out, respectively, in claims 10 and 16 attached hereto.
  • a preferred embodiment of the method in accordance with the invention envisages the use of an apparatus that, as far as the general principle of its configuration is concerned, is substantially similar to the plant of the prior art technique for producing mosaic panels with support sheets obtained from an adhesive band.
  • This configuration envisages a conveyor belt 1 on which the tesserae, typically quadrilateral, intended to make up the mosaic panels are arranged in an ordered manner in respective groupings 2, schematically outlined in the figures by means of the contour of the pitted grids, of the known type, used as backing.
  • Each grouping 2 therefore comprises rows of tesserae placed side by side and with their finished faces turned upwards, the rows following each other with identical spacings in the direction of motion of the belt 1, indicated by means of the arrow A of figure 1.
  • the groupings 2 are fed towards a vacuum roller 3 arranged immediately above the belt 1 and such that, rotating in the direction indicated by the arrow B of figure 1, it will feed towards the groupings 2 respective support sheets 4 to form the panel.
  • the vacuum inside the roller 3 is created by means of a suction duct 3a that extends axially from the roller, as can be seen in figure 2.
  • the material of band 5 is a simple non-adhesive plastic film, e.g. a polyethylene, propylene or PVC film, so that the dragging and the cutting of the film do not give rise to the particular handling problematic of the adhesive band. It is therefore possible to utilize a unit 7 that is far simpler and more economic, similar - for example - to those used for cutting into pieces the cardboard or glass wool grids used as backings in the technique of gluing them onto the rough faces of the tesserae.
  • a unit 7 that is far simpler and more economic, similar - for example - to those used for cutting into pieces the cardboard or glass wool grids used as backings in the technique of gluing them onto the rough faces of the tesserae.
  • a distribution 8 - for example in accordance with a plurality of glue points 8a - capable of affecting all the tesserae of the grouping.
  • a glue dispensing unit is provided above the roller 3 and in the embodiment here illustrated comprises a row of injectors 9 that are aligned along a generatrix of the roller 3.
  • the number of injectors 9 is equal to the number of tesserae in each row of the grouping, and the injectors are operated in a discontinuous manner and in coordination with the rotation of the roller 3, so that they will distribute the points 8a in the desired manner on the sheet 4.
  • the dispensed glue is a hot glue capable of making the points 8a adhere relatively strongly to the sheet 4 and more weakly to the tesserae. More precisely, it will generally be sufficient for the adhesion to the tesserae to be capable of resisting a detachment stress caused by the actual weight of the tesserae, thus rendering possible all normal handling of the formed panel. In the specific embodiment here considered this adhesion force must also be greater than the suction force that the roller 3 exerts on the sheet 4, thus making sure that the latter will become regularly detached to form the panel.
  • a contribution to the attainment of this result is made not only by the physical and chemical characteristics of the glue in relation to those of the two materials on which adhesion is to be obtained, but also by the fact that the glue is dispensed in a hot condition.
  • the glue points 8a adhere to the sheet 4 as soon as the glue issues from the injectors 9 and therefore when, due to the high temperature (typically, about 160°C), the glue develops its maximum adhesive power.
  • the adhesive power is remarkably lower when the points 8a come into contact with the tesserae, the glue having cooled to a certain extent during the rotation of the roller 3.
  • glues that are particularly suitable for use in the method are permanent glues on an elastomer base like those known under the trade names "PRESSURE SENSITIVE 2000 PP" of Messrs. VABER S.p.A. of Turin, and "SINTECOL HT-HTS” of Messrs. COSTENARO S.p.A. of Vicenza.
  • FIGS. 3 to 5 Examples of mosaic panels obtained by means of the method in accordance with the invention are shown in figures 3 to 5, to which reference will henceforth be made.
  • the profile of the sheet 4 which is preferably transparent to afford the workman a complete view of the tesserae and thus enable him to carry out the laying operations more easily and precisely.
  • FIG. 3 shows a distribution 8 obtained with the apparatus and in accordance with the operating steps described in the above example. In fact, it envisages for each tessera 2a a single glue point 8a arranged centrally on the appropriate finished face.
  • the point 8a has an elongated shape, due to the movement of the sheet 4 during the relevant dispensing time of the injectors 9.
  • the distribution 8 envisages a perimetral frame 8c for each tessera 2a.
  • This solution can be obtained with a dispenser unit of a different typology that, rather than of injectors 9, avails itself of an offset print system, i.e. a printing roller that deposits the distribution 8 on the sheet 4 by operating in tangential contact with the transport roller 3.
  • the sheet 4 could be simply sprinkled with glue by means of a spray-type dispenser unit.
