Abstract
Description
- The present invention refers to a device for realising reference areas for laying a coating adapted to form a floor.
- More precisely, the present invention refers to a device comprising means that allow leveling the layers of cement mortar that are commonly deposited in various regions of a laying plane and that are aimed to support a coating adapted to form a floor.
- The present invention further refers to a method for realising reference areas for laying a coating that uses the device according to the present invention.
- It is known that, before proceeding to lay a coating, reference areas made of cement mortar, or equivalent material, are arranged on its laying plane in order to form a surface for a coating.
- Such arrangement provides the steps of:
- depositing a thick layer of cement mortar in a first region of the laying plane next to a wall of the environment in which it is desired to lay the coating;
- positioning a portion of tile or another stiff object having a planar development in order to flatten the layer of mortar;
- depositing a further thick layer of cement mortar in a second region of the laying plane always next to the wall of the environment and at a small distance from the first region;
- placing again a portion of tile or similar onto the second region and with the help of a stiff rod, or ruler, and a level moving the portion of tile so that the second region of cement mortar has a surface level snugly at the same level as of the first region.
- The above-described operations are repeated till a discrete grid is created with reference areas made of cement mortar which are arranged peripherally and internally to the environment to be paved.
- Once the cement mortar has hardened, further amounts of mortar are deposited to cover the space between the various reference areas.
- Afterwards, these further amounts of cement mortar are leveled off in order to form various beads of cement mortar on which the coating will then be laid.
- The above-described traditional process however has the inconvenience of not guaranteeing that the created reference areas are really on a plane and that, consequently, the coating that will be laid thereon is in turn on a plane.
- This is due to the fact that, in the traditional method, every reference area is generated in succession starting from another previously-created reference area. Therefore, a possible planarity error between two contiguous reference areas propagates in the space with the consequence that the laid floor will not be on a plane.
- Object of the present invention is therefore providing a device that allows realising such reference areas that a coating laid using such reference areas is perfectly on a plane.
- A further object of the present invention is providing a method for realising said reference areas using a device for realising reference areas according to the present invention.
- These and other objects are obtained with the device for realising reference areas and with the method that uses such device as claimed in the attached claims.
- Advantageously, the device for realising reference areas according to the present invention is of a simple construction, can be easily handled and can be easily used.
- The device according to the invention and the related method for realising reference areas that uses such device can advantageously be applied in the step for preparing the laying of any coating material.
- Moreover, the device according to the present invention can be easily transported and allows, with a single tool, to realise perfectly plane floors.
- The invention will be now described in detail with particular reference to the enclosed drawings, provided as a non-limiting example, in which:
- Figure 1 shows a front view of a device according to the invention, in a vertical and closed position, for realising reference areas for laying a coating;
- Figure 2 shows a front view of the device of Figure 1 at the end of an operation for realising a reference area ;
- Figure 3 shows a plan view of the opening movement of the device of Figure 1;
- Figure 4 shows a side view of the device of Figure 1 placed in an horizontal position and with a completely retracted telescopic rod.
- With reference to Figures 1 and 2, a
device 1 is shown for realising reference areas for laying a coating comprising astructure 4 shaped as an elongated parallelepiped composed of afixed portion 3 and a portion orwing 5 able to be opened which is hinged to thestructure 4 throughpivots 7 andhinges 6. - The
wing 5 is laterally equipped with ahandle 15 that allows opening thewing 5 by performing a counter-clockwise movement. - On an external side of the
structure 4 and making part of this latter one, atelescopic rod 13 is further provided, that can be seen in Figure 4, which can be extracted and is sliding from the top and whose height is at most equal to thestructure 4, whose use will be better shown below. - At the lower end of the
wing 5, a spatula orfoot element 17 is provided, which is composed of anhorizontal portion 19, secured to thewing 5 perpendicular to thestructure 4, and of avertical portion 21 parallel to thestructure 4. - With reference to Figures 1 to 3, a method according to the invention will now be shown for realising reference areas for laying a coating.
- In a preliminary method step, it is provided to use a laser tracer that allows an operator to trace, on a
wall 2 with writing means, an horizontal reference placed at a pre-established height, preferably at 1 m and namely at the height of ahead surface 8 of thedevice 1, with respect to the level of the coating to be laid. - Afterwards, a thick layer of
cement mortar 18 is laid on the laying plane. - The
device 1 is then tightly kept by the operator with one of his hands next to thefixed portion 3 so that saiddevice 1 is completely rested with its rear face onto awall 2 of the environment in which it is desired to lay a coating and that thehead surface 8 of thedevice 1 is perfectly aligned with the reference traced onto thewall 2. - With the other hand thereof, the operator acts on the
handle 15 opening thewing 5 counter-clockwise, thereby generating a corresponding movement of thefoot 17 adapted to level off the layer ofcement mortar 18 that had been previously deposited onto the laying plane next to the operating range of thedevice 1 so that such layer is perfectly on a plane, as can be verified by comparing Figures 1 and 2. - Due to the
vertical wall 21 of thefoot 17, the cement mortar transported by thefoot 17 during the counter-clockwise movement is helped towards thewall 2 in order to be easily removed. - The operation is repeated for all desired reference areas in order to realise a peripheral structure of such areas next to the environment walls.
- With respect to the traditional method, the method according to the present invention guarantees that all peripheral areas are absolutely on a plane since the references are taken with respect to a wall and not with respect to previously-made reference areas as occurs in the prior art. With respect to the traditional method, therefore, there is no space propagation of the planarity error.
- With reference to Figure 4, the
device 1 is shown from which thetelescopic rod 13 have been completely extracted from the top part of thestructure 4. Across-shaped level 22 is further shown on a side of thedevice 1. - In order to make a discrete grid of reference areas, in such a way that such grid extends also inside the environment on which it is desired to lay the coating, first of all a further thick layer of cement mortar 18' is deposited in an internal region to the environment to be paved and an end of the
device 1, for example next to thefoot 17, is positioned on one of the previously-madereference areas 18 in which the cement mortar has already hardened, and an end 20 of thetelescopic rod 13, opposite to thefoot 17 of thedevice 1, next to the internal region where the further layer of cement mortar 18' has been deposited. - With a lateral rightward and leftward oscillating movement with respect to the
telescopic rod 13 axis, the layer of mortar is levelled off till thelevel 19 does not point that also the new reference area 18' inside the environment is on a plane with respect to thereference area 18 where thefoot 17 of thedevice 1 has been abutted. - The operation is repeated to realise further areas 18' inside the environment.
- The
device 1 preferably has a height of 1 m and also thetelescopic rod 13 that in a rest position is completely retracted inside thestructure 4, once extracted has a height of about 1 m. - It is clear that what has been described is given as a non-limiting example and that variations and modifications are possible without departing from the scope of the invention.
- For example, it has been described that the horizontal reference traced on the
wall 2 must be at least at the height of 1 m with respect to the level of the coating to be laid. - However, due to the
telescopic rod 13, such height can also be greater since at that time it is the head end 20 of thetelescopic rod 13 that is placed at the horizontal reference level traced on thewall 2.
