EP1918486A2 - Tile end finishing strip - Google Patents

Abstract

The edging strip (2) for tiles (6, 7) comprises a curved profile (20). The base of the profile has an extended horizontal section (8) which fits under the horizontal tiles and partially overlaps the edge of the uppermost vertical tile. A vertical inner section (12) of the profile rests against the edge of the outer tile. Wedge-shaped gaps (28, 30) between the profile and the outer edges of the tiles can be filled with sealant.

Description

The invention relates to a tile end profile rail for the end of at least one laid tile, with an elongate web which is provided with openings, and with an elongate profile body which is arranged at one end of the web. The "tile" can generally speaking to a tile, ceramic plate, stoneware slab, natural stone slab, artificial stone slab, cast plate o. The like. Act.

Commercially available tile finishing profile rails of the type mentioned are z. B. so-called quadrant profile rails. They have, seen in cross-section, an elongated, perforated web, which merges into a hollow profile body. This profile body has a quarter-circle-shaped rail piece, which faces the viewer after assembly, as well as a first and second leg adjacent thereto. The two legs are arranged at an angle of 90 ° to each other. During assembly, the edge side of the first tile of a first laid row of tiles lies largely on the first leg and the edge side of the first tile of a second row of tiles laid at a right angle to the second leg. The pierced in the tile adhesive bridge is placed on the corner of a masonry on one side. The tile adhesive can penetrate through the openings of the web to the bottom of the first tile of the first row of tiles. The bottom of the tile of the second row of tiles is usually pressed at an angle of 90 ° in the tile adhesive previously applied to the masonry. After sticking the tiles, the existing between the edge of the tiles and the first and second leg joints can be filled with grout or jointing material. The width of these joints can z. B. in a range of 2 to 10 mm. The bar is usually made of plastic, a stainless steel or brass.-Also L-shaped tile end profile rails with bar are commercially available.

Now it is endeavored to make the width of the joints reasonably evenly, and this, although the edges of the individual tiles can be quite rough and uneven. So it should be generated uniform, aesthetically pleasing grout strips.

In order to ensure a uniform distance between the first and second leg on the one hand and the edge side of the first and second tile on the other hand in a quarter-circle profile rail, wood wedges and - at rail cross points - tile crosses made of plastic are often used. However, this is quite expensive; it costs time and labor.

In the DE 197 22 349 A1 is a substrate to be glued on the underside for completion of laid ceramic tiles o. The like. Described, which has an elongated web with openings. For this purpose, approximately vertically, a termination leg is provided. On the inside of the end leg, a widening leg and a distance from the profile outside a relatively thin spacer web are integrally formed, which rests against the side of the ceramic plate and thus serves to determine the visible joint width. The thin spacer bar forms an external space, which is filled with grout, and an interior, which serves to accommodate the ceramic adhesive. A large-scale investment of the end leg on the side of the ceramic plate is deliberately neither intended nor possible. Another, compact and approximately rectangular in cross section trained profile, which is equipped on its underside with Verklammerungselementen in the form of a dovetail, is not intended for the Endabschluss, but rather to the intermediate layer between two ceramic plates and formed.

From the GB 2 203 996 A a similar profile is known in which also a thin-walled spacer web is formed on a closure leg, which extends perpendicular to a perforated web provided with openings. In the region of the leg end of the end leg, a groove-like joint opening is provided for wedging the joint material. A large area plant of the End leg on the side of the ceramic plate is not provided in this profile.

The object of the invention is to provide measures by which can be dispensed with separate and thin-walled spacer means in a tile closure rail of the type mentioned, which is provided with an elongated web with openings. In particular, a particularly good, stable concern to the tile and at the same time a particularly secure hold of the grout should be guaranteed.

This object is achieved by the features of claim 1. Advantageous embodiments, developments and variants are the subject of the dependent claims.

The tile connection profile rail according to the invention has an elongate web provided with perforations and an elongate profiled body which is arranged at one end of the web. The profile body has at least one contact surface, to which the edge of the tile can be applied, wherein the width of the stop surface is equal to / or greater than half the thickness of the adjacent tile. The profile body is formed retracted next to the stop surface, wherein in this retracted area when creating the edge of the tile to the profile body is filled with grout joint groove is formed.

The contact surface is of sufficient size to ensure a smooth and firm connection. To achieve this, the abutment surface has the comparatively large width of at least half the thickness of the adjacent tile. Widely used is a thickness of the tile from 6 to 12 mm.

Of particular advantage because of their versatility is a tile finishing rail, in which the profile body has two approximately mutually perpendicular contact surfaces for application to a first or second tile. Appropriately, this is a rail in which the profile body a has first and a second leg, which are arranged approximately at right angles to each other and which form the contact surfaces. The contact surfaces, which are provided on the first leg and on the second leg of the profile body, have at their edge on a retracted area, which serves as a groove groove. The grooved channel can - seen in section - be approximately triangular, rectangular or rounded.

In the case of a quarter-circle profile rail, the profile body will have a quarter-circle or approximately quadrangular-shaped rail section. In the case of a quarter-circle rail, the profile body should be formed withdrawn in each case in addition to the two contact surfaces to form a groove groove. Instead of a quarter circle can here also be a flat, rectangular or formed in other forms surface.

The width of the entrance area of the joint gutter will depend on the specific conditions (eg consistency of the joint compound) and the special requirements. In order to form a relatively large space for receiving the grout, the quarter-circular rail piece should be provided at both ends, each with an elongated nose. These lugs, as well as the entire channel groove space formed by the profiled body, should be curved for the same reason.

The profile body is preferably formed retracted next to the stop surface by an undercut. The decisive idea here is that at least on one side of the extended from the elongated web profile body is formed with a larger contact surface and with an adjacent retracted area in the form of a back or undercut or an undercut to form the joint gutter.

The undercut (undercut) may be straight, jagged, wavy, structured or provided with emphasis (protrusions). According to an advantageous development is accordingly provided that at least one projection is arranged in the groove channel on the profile body. The undercut in particular may have an approximately perpendicular from the edge of the tile side and an adjoining sloping side.

Also in the case of a quarter-circle rail of the profile body should be formed in each case retracted by an undercut in addition to the two abutment surfaces in each case to form a grooved channel. At least one leg should pass over a side web, which forms the undercut, in a quarter-circular rail piece. From the side bar expediently go from a first web part and then a second web part, which extends to the outside. The first web part can emanate approximately perpendicular or obliquely from the side web. Conveniently, the first and / or the second web part are curved.

It should also be noted that the undercut is in each case mounted in such a way that the joint material finds an excellent grip and is connected to the respective construction practically insoluble. In addition, there is an excellent quality of grouting. Compared to prior art designs, the durability and durability of the joint are substantially improved. Reworking and repairs to the joint are almost completely eliminated due to the effective anchoring.

The fact that a larger contact surface is present, joint material is saved. This can not, for. B. down, spread in the direction of the tile adhesive.

In a preferred embodiment, the profile body is designed as a closed hollow body. The elongate web and the profile body, which consists for example of a stainless steel, plastic, aluminum or brass, can be formed from a single wound band, preferably made of metal. If it is an L-shaped profile rail, the profile body can in principle be solid. It is more advantageous, however, to use a profile body designed as a hollow body in each case.

According to an expedient variant of the L-shaped tile connection profile rail with a first leg forming the elongate web and with a second leg forming the profile body and having the abutment surface, the latter is thicker than the first leg. The second leg then has in the region of the groove channel at least one indentation for introducing grout.

In this variant, with an L-shaped profiled rail, in which the indentation lies opposite the edge of the tile, the second leg and thus the profiled body are generally solid. In principle, however, it could also be designed as a hollow body. In particular, it can be provided that the joint groove or groove - seen in cross-section - is substantially rectangular. Alternatively, the grout can also - seen in cross section - be rounded and have a nose.

In a development, the joint gutter - seen in cross section - outside a rounded nose, two indentations in the form of mutually parallel longitudinal grooves and / or have a projection. The noses can have a triangular or rounded cross-section. In addition, the bottom of the groove channel may be rounded.

The profiled rail according to the invention can be used particularly advantageously for the end termination of at least one laid tile. While the web provided with perforations is provided for the passage of tile adhesive, the profile body arranged at the end of this web is preferably designed as a hollow body which is completely closed in cross-section. The at least one stop surface of the profile body, to which the edge of the relevant tile can be applied, is relatively large compared to a relatively thin contact web. If the profiled body is pulled back by an undercut in addition to this abutment surface, a particularly suitable joint channel is formed when the edge of the tile is pressed against the profiled body in the retracted area, in which the filled grout is securely held. With such a profile rail can be achieve uniformly wide joints without, for example, separate or molded spacers would have to be used.

Corresponding parts are provided in all figures with the same reference numerals.

In Fig. 1, a tile end profile rail 2 is shown, which is attached to the corner of a stone masonry 4 to the end of two mutually perpendicular tiles or tiles 6,7. The rail 2 comprises an elongate web 8 (perpendicular to the plane of the paper) and a hollow profiled body 10 which is integrally formed thereon (also perpendicular to the plane of the paper). The web 8 has a number of perforations 11 (FIGS. 5 to 11).

The profile body 10 is symmetrical, as can be seen from the section shown. He has a first straight leg 12 and a second straight leg 14. The two legs 12,14 are perpendicular to each other. The web 8 merges seamlessly into the second leg 14. On the legs 12,14 a first and second side web 16 and 18 are arranged bent, which merge into a quarter-circular rail piece 20. In other words, the profile body 10 is formed retracted at these side bars 16,18. The web 8 and the profile body 10 are here preferably made of a single stainless steel band. The profile body 10 is formed at the end of this edge by rolling. Of particular advantage, however, it may be to produce the web 8 and the hollow, closed profile body 10 made of plastic.

It is important that the legs 12,14 have a width which is slightly smaller than the thickness of the arranged (here equal thick) tiles 6 and 7. Preferably, they have a width which is about the same or only slightly larger than half the thickness of the adjacent tiles 6 and 7, respectively. The outer surface of the legs 12,14 serves as a stop surface 22,24 for the edges of the tiles 6 and 7 respectively.

During installation tile adhesive 26 is applied to the two sides of the masonry 4. Then the web 8 is launched. The tile adhesive 26 is thereby pressed from bottom to top through the openings. Then be the tiles 6,7 pushed all the way to the stop surfaces 22,24, ie to the legs 12,14 zoom. In this case, in the region of the side bars 16, 18, ie in the two retracted areas, joint grooves 20, 30 are formed, which in FIG. 1 have a triangular cross-section.

These gutters 28,30 can be filled with grout after sticking the tiles 6,7. The grout will find a good hold in it. Thus, a simple and fast disposal without the use of spacers is possible. It is thus important that the tiles 6,7 are simply pushed fully against the stop surfaces 22, 24 of the profile body 10. Due to the edge of the tiles 6,7 fully resting abutment surfaces 22,24, the tile joints are formed 28,30 uniformly wide. It creates the desired success in a short time.

As can be seen, each abutment surface 22,24 does not contact the entire edge side of the associated tile 6,7. However, it should be understood that the abutment surface 22,24 should be relatively large in area to ensure that the visible joint becomes accurate and uniform. The choice of the width of the stop surface 22,24 will depend on this requirement and the thickness D of the relevant tile 6,7.

From Fig. 1 it is apparent that the joint grooves 28,30 - seen in section - are approximately triangular. This also applies essentially to the embodiment according to FIG. 2. However, here the quarter-circle-shaped rail piece 20 has at each end a respective side web or a projection 32, 34 in the form of an elongate nose. These projections 32,34 are approximately straight here. They improve the grip of the introduced grout. It can be seen that the profile body 10 - seen in section - can be completely closed. It can be made of plastic, brass or aluminum. He also again has two legs 12,14 with stop surfaces 22,24, adjacent to the joint spaces 28,30.

From Fig. 3 it is clear that the projections or lugs 32,34 can also be curved. This also applies to the remaining part of the profile body 10, which forms the gutters 28,30. The joint grooves 28,30 can therefore be rounded overall. As a result, an enlargement of the groove channel 28,30 and thus a further increased hold the grout can be achieved. Here it is shown that the profile body 10 is formed again completely closed. This leads to a particularly good stability.

Fig. 4 shows, in contrast to Fig. 3, that the web 8 and the profile body 10 - according to Fig. 1 - can be made together from a metal strip. One end of the metal band is designated 36, the other end 38. The metal band end 38 should rest here on the web 8. It is therefore also a "closed" profile body 10. The band may in particular consist of stainless steel. As a result, a good aesthetic effect and a good cleaning ability can be achieved. Here it is also shown that the joints 28,30 can also have a rectangular cross-section.

In Figures 5, 6 and 8, an L-shaped tile finishing rail 2 is shown. This comprises an elongated web 8, on which a (hollow or full) foot piece is attached as a profile body 10. Both are seamlessly merged. As in the examples in FIGS. 1 to 4 shown above, a planar stop surface 22 is formed here on the foot piece or profile body 10, the width of which is smaller than the thickness D of the associated tile 6. Here, too, a recessed area is present. As a result, even here when creating the edge of the tile 6 to this stop surface 22 a uniformly wide groove channel 28 is formed, which can be filled with grout. This groove channel 28 has a rectangular cross-section. The illustrated L-shaped rail 2 may be made of plastic, aluminum or brass. It is carried out in various thicknesses according to the thickness D of tile 6,7 plus tile adhesive 26.

In particular, according to the embodiments of Figures 5 and 6, the profile body or second leg 10 of the L-shaped rail may be substantially thicker than the elongate web or first leg 8. The rail 2 is at the corner of a stone masonry 4 to the end of two mutually perpendicular Tiles, tiles or tiles 6.7 of thickness D provided. On consideration The arrangement from above and from the left should result in an even sight.

Thus, the profile body or second leg 10 is formed in the embodiment of FIG. 5 in turn retracted in the outer right area. Its thickness is only slightly more than half in the inner area. The recess is, as can be seen from the sectional view of FIG. 5, L-shaped. In the inner right area of the profile body or second leg 10 in turn forms a flat stop surface 22 for the narrow side of the tile 6. The width of the stop surface may be more or exactly half the thickness D of the tile 6. After applying to the edge of the tile 6 of the profile body 10 forms in the outer region in turn an outwardly open joint or grout 28 of cuboid shape. In this grooved channel 28, which is uniformly wide, in turn grout (not shown) can be introduced.

The profile body or second leg 10 has in the region of the groove channel 28 two smaller indentations 40 in the form of longitudinally extending, mutually parallel holders inside. These molded indentations 40 are opposite the narrow side of the tile 6. They are also used for the introduction of joint compound. As a result, an improved anchoring of the grout in the grooved channel 28 is achieved. The joint compound thus finds a secure hold even with vibrations. It can not easily crack under these difficult conditions or even fall out.

During installation tile adhesive 26 is applied to the two sides of the masonry 4. Then the web or first leg 8 is placed. The tile adhesive 26 is thereby pressed from bottom to top through the openings 11 therethrough. Then the tiles are 7,8 pushed up to the stop on the stop or contact surfaces 22,24. In this case, the groove channel 28 is formed in the retracted area of the profile body 10. After sticking the tiles 6.4, the joint gutter 28 including the indentations 40 is filled with grout.

According to Fig. 6, the profile body or second leg 10 of the L-shaped tile end profile rail 2 in turn has a groove channel 28, which, however - seen in cross-section - is not L-shaped, but rounded. It has a round bottom 42 and the outside a rounded, extending in the longitudinal direction of the rail 2 nose 32. As a result, a rounded indentation 40 is formed. The joint groove 28 including the indentation 40 is filled with grout. Again, a permanent grip, even under stress, guaranteed.

The L-shaped tile end profile rail 2 according to FIG. 8 in turn comprehends an elongate web 8 on which a (hollow or full) foot piece in the form of the profile body 10 is attached. Both are seamlessly merged. As in the other examples here at the foot piece or profile body 10, a larger flat stop surface 22 is formed, whose width is smaller than the thickness D of the associated tile 6. Here is a retracted area by an undercut with an oblique side 16 b available. As a result, when forming the edge of the tile 6 to this stop surface 22 a uniformly wide groove groove 28 is formed above, which can be filled with grout. This groove channel 28 also has a trapezoidal cross section here. The illustrated L-shaped rail 2 may in turn be made of plastic, aluminum or brass. The grouting material can not get into the tile adhesive here.

In Fig. 7, a tile end profile rail 2 is shown, which in turn is attached to the corner of a stone masonry 4 for the termination of two perpendicular to each other arranged tiles or tiles 6, 7. The rail 2 also comprises a (perpendicular to the paper plane) elongated web 8 with a number of openings 11 and an end of the web 8 formed (also perpendicular to the paper plane) elongated, hollow and closed profile body 10. The web 8 has.

The profile body 10 is symmetrical, as can be seen from the section shown. He has the first straight leg 12 and the second straight Leg 14. The two legs 12, 14 are perpendicular to each other. The web 8 merges seamlessly into the second leg 14. On the legs 12, 14 of the first and second kinked side web 16 and 18 are arranged at the end, which merge into the quarter-circular rail piece 20. At these side bars 16, 18 of the profile body 10 is formed as a result of each undercut (or each undercut) withdrawn. Each side web 16, 18 has an approximately perpendicularly extending from the edge of the tile 6 and 7 first web portion and an adjoining, outwardly extending second web portion. The vertical sides or web portions are 16a, 18a and the oblique sides or web portions are designated 16b and 18b. The web portions 16a, 16b, 18a, 18b are all rectilinear in this example.

It is important that the legs 12, 14, whose entire, relatively large outer surface serves as a stop surface 22, 24 for the edges of the tiles 6 and 7, have a width which is somewhat less than the thickness of the associated (here thick ) Tiles 6 and 7. Preferably, they have a width which is about the same or only slightly larger than half the thickness D of the adjacent tiles 6 and 7 respectively.

It should also be emphasized that a fillable with jointing material or tile adhesive cavity between the bottom of the groove channel 28, d. H. the second web portion 16b, and the surface of the second leg 14 or the web 8 is not present. The same applies to the joint channel 30th

During assembly, the tile adhesive 26 are again applied to the two sides of the masonry 4 and then placed the web 8, wherein the tile adhesive 26 is pressed from bottom to top through the openings 11 therethrough. Then, the tiles 6, 7 until the stop on the stop surfaces 22, 24, ie, pushed to the legs 12, 14. Here, in the region of the side webs 16, 18, ie in the two retracted areas which are formed by undercuts, joint grooves 28, 30 are formed, which have a trapezoidal cross-section in FIG. The joint gutters 28, 30 can be filled after gluing the tiles 6, 7 with grout, the very good is held, as it forms a coherent elongated body after curing. In a short working time, the desired success results.

It is therefore important that the tiles 6, 7 are in turn simply pushed fully against the stop surfaces 22, 24 of the profile body 10. By the edge of the tiles 6, 7 fully resting abutment surfaces 22, 24, the formed tile joints 28, 30 are uniformly wide.

In Fig. 9 it is shown that the first web portions 16a, 18a need not necessarily go out exactly perpendicular from the edge of the tiles 6 and 7, and that they can also be curved. Here, a profile body 10 of plastic completely closed in cross-section is shown. Such a profile body 10 has certain advantages, in particular with regard to the production.

In Figs. 10 and 11 embodiments are shown in which the profile body 10 in the groove channel 28, 30, a number of projections (emphasis, noses) 32, z. B. two or more projections 32 are arranged. It is in the longitudinal direction of the respective groove channel 28, 30 extending projections 32 which are relatively thin and aligned parallel to each other. The projections 32 may have different cross sections. The projections 32 contribute to a very good durability and thus long life of the joints 28, 30 at.

While in FIG. 10 the cross section of both projections 32 is triangular in shape and in FIG. 11 the cross section is slightly rounded on the outside, in the embodiment according to FIG. 12 the cross section of the projections 32 is sawtooth-like. Otherwise, this embodiment according to FIG. 12 essentially corresponds to that according to FIG. 4. Such projections 32, which have sawtooth cross-section, can also be provided in the case of an L-shaped tile closure profile rail 2 according to the embodiment according to FIG.

The profile rails 2 are made in different thicknesses in each case according to the thickness D of the tile 6,7 plus tile adhesive 26.
