Definitions

  • the present invention refers to the field of mosaic panels for wall coverings and floors, and, more specifically, to that of systems for forming the aforementioned panels. More specifically, the invention concerns a new system for connecting together the tiles to form the panel that represents an essential semi-finished product in the practice of applying mosaics.
  • the aforementioned panels are compositions of tiles (made from glass, marble, ceramic or other materials), joined together in advance in order to facilitate and speed up application, at the same time obtaining a higher quality result, since the tiles are positioned and spaced with the maximum regularity.
  • One of these which is particularly common, provides for the use of a netting in fiberglass that is applied onto the back face of the tiles (i..e. the rough face that remains invisible when the mosaic is set) and glued to it by means of a cold-applied vinyl glued.
  • the backing netting is flexible and offers consequent advantages in terms of the ability to manipulate the panels, also during application, in which the operator applying them can also recover possible small imprecisions in application, correcting the spacing of the tiles, within certain limits, which is not rigidly constrained by the support.
  • the use of the vinyl glue that remains trapped in the masonry is, however, considered to be unsatisfactory for a few reasons, especially in some types and conditions of application and storage since the water-based glue can be subject to deterioration, especially if exposed to humidity or low temperatures.
  • the vinyl glue in order for the vinyl glue to ensure adhesion it needs a backing netting with fine mesh that leaves a small surface exposed on the back faces of the tiles, which is not suitable for ensuring an optimal hold when the panel is applied.
  • An alternative solution an improvement in terms of the inert nature of the material and the surface exposed on the back faces, provides for the use of points of PVC plasticizer applied as a bridge between one tile and another, normally two or more points for each facing side between the tiles.
  • the gluing points are applied to the base of the tiles resting with their back face on a sheet of teflon-coated material (in order to avoid adhesion).
  • the PVC plasticizer At the temperature of application (ambient temperature) the PVC plasticizer has a substantially liquid consistency, and must be set by heating. This method does, however, in turn have drawbacks.
  • the machinery required to carry out the method in question is very bulky due to the presence of large curing ovens necessary to set the PVC previously applied in points as just described.
  • the curing also implies substantial energy consumption and a long cycle time, with it being necessary to cure for at least 15 minutes at about 180°.
  • the transportation of the tiles from the grids in which they have been arranged at the teflon-coated plate can frequently disturb the correct distancing and in general the organisation of the distribution, with the need for additional worker interventions.
  • connection points ensures that the panel is indeed rigid, and the distance between the tiles cannot be modified, thus not allowing corrective actions at the moment of application.
  • the grouting of the tile lines i.e. the filling of the empty spacings between the tiles
  • such a system firstly manages to effectively combine cost-effectiveness and simple production, secure connection of the tiles, low deterioration of the glue from atmospheric agents, practicality of application and amount (over 70%) of the surface that is exposed and useful for gripping onto the building infrastructure to be coated with the mosaic.
  • liquid PVC is used (more correctly, particles of PVC in suspension in a liquid plasticizer such as a phthalic resin), of a nature corresponding to that used in the prior art for application in points but now selected with a particular viscosity and above all distributed over an appropriate netting with wire-like structure, preferably in fiberglass and subjected to pre-treatment to ensure strong adhesion of the PVC, as well as sized so as to ensure over 70% of surface left free on the back faces.
  • a liquid plasticizer such as a phthalic resin
  • an apparatus comprises a conveyor 1, typically a conveyor belt, supported by a frame 11 and having a horizontal plane 1 a on which panel arrays of tiles P are fed.
  • the tiles previously arranged and spaced to form the panel arrays, and carried along an advancement direction X, resting on the plane with their back faces facing upwards.
  • a panel P arranged and conveyed on the conveyor 1 passes in sequence through a unit 2 for applying a backing netting to the panel itself, and two heating/curing stations 31, 32, all in sequence following the advancement direction X corresponding to the direction of longitudinal extension of the conveyor.
  • the netting application unit shown in greater detail in figure 2 , comprises a spindle 21 for feeding the netting R continuously from a reel B, towards a cutting device 22 above the conveyor, adapted for cutting the netting into pieces of the desired length as a function of the size of the panel being processed.
  • the unit also comprises, downstream of the cutting device and below it, a device 23 for spreading the glue on the netting R, said device, according to the representation in figure 3 , being provided with a tank 231 for collecting liquid PVC, represented by the mass C, with a distributor roll 232 partially immersed and cooperating with a doctor blade 233 that is smooth or toothed depending on the amount of PVC required, said amount also being adjustable by varying the rotation speed of the roll 232.
  • the netting R guided by a plate 234 and with the tangential cooperation of a pressing roll 235 advantageously displaced upwards with respect to the distributor roll 232, makes contact, again tangentially, with the distributor roll itself, thus being uniformly affected by the distribution of PVC.
  • the PVC is kept in the desired condition of fluidity through a supply and recirculation system represented in figure 4 and comprising a circuit 4 with, in a looped line, an external reservoir 41, a supply pump 42 for supplying the material towards the tank, the same tank 231, and a return pump 43 for returning the material to the reservoir.
  • the level of PVC in the tank 231 is controlled by means of a sensor 231 a.
  • the netting R is finally made to fall from above onto the tiles arranged in a grid tray and supported by the conveyor 1, this mating being improved by a guide cylinder 24 that applies a first gentle pressure on the netting against the tiles.
  • a guide cylinder 24 that applies a first gentle pressure on the netting against the tiles.
  • drying ovens or stations 31, 32 for example and typically using surface radiation through infrared halogen lamps that, in two stages, take care of drying the PVC so as to stabilize the cohesion between tiles and netting. More specifically, the drying takes place in two stages; downstream of each of them, respective pressing cylinders 311, 321 press the netting against the panel/tiles.
  • a first preheating station there is a first partial curing of the PVC with a passage time of the material of about one minute and a corresponding softening of the netting, thanks to which the action of the first pressing cylinder 311 will be able to make the netting itself copy all of the irregularities of the back faces of the tiles, so as to promote perfect adhesion.
  • the second stage in a second station of true curing, with a passage of about two minutes in an oven at a temperature of over 150° C, preferably about 180°, involves the mutual dissolving of the PVC suspension in the plasticizer and the desired setting of the material.
  • the second pressure by the cylinder 321 immediately downstream of the curing station 32 improves the mechanical adhesion process between netting and tiles resulting in a panel that is ready for installation, after cooling at ambient temperature, advantageously, in order to speed up production, with the help of fans.
  • the first preheating station can, depending on the circumstances dictated by the type of material being processed, also precede the netting application unit. In this case there will be, in practice, a preheating of the tiles only, and a drying action that will take place starting from, and through the effect of, the contact on the tiles by the netting impregnated with PVC.
  • the first pressing cylinder 311 will be in this case, of course, arranged downstream of the unit 2.
  • the electric power installed in the two stations can vary and will be optimised in an obvious manner depending on the type of material treated, just like their extension along the longitudinal direction in relation to the advancing speed; indicatively, as mentioned, an overall time of exposure to the action of the lamps of about three minutes will be adequate in most circumstances.
  • Other heating means can involve different times.
  • the PVC (or more correctly of the suspension of PVC and plasticizer) according to the invention, it is selected with a viscosity comprised between 50000 and 85000 mPa.s.
  • a viscosity comprised between 50000 and 85000 mPa.s.
  • Plastisol ® http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plastisol , http://www.icapsira.com/EN/Products/Plastisol/AboutPlastisol.aspx
  • DM 100 STD-BRT of the firm Plastek ( http://www.plastek-srl.it/ ) or similar.
  • the glue applied as already described, is distributed on the netting in a specific small amount, which stably clings to the netting itself, avoiding, in a surprisingly effective manner, undesired dripping; nevertheless, through the homogeneity of the distribution the glue is capable to achieve perfect adhesion.
  • a contribution to achieve such an effect is given by the selection of the dimensional parameters of the netting, which, contrary to conventional nettings of the prior art, according to the invention is made with open mesh, for example orthogonal square mesh of at least 10x10 mm but more generally any other configuration that diffusely affects all of the tiles and achieves a ratio between the surface area remaining exposed after the netting is applied, and the tile size area (overall area of the back faces without the netting) equal to at least 70%.
  • open mesh for example orthogonal square mesh of at least 10x10 mm but more generally any other configuration that diffusely affects all of the tiles and achieves a ratio between the surface area remaining exposed after the netting is applied, and the tile size area (overall area of the back faces without the netting) equal to at least 70%.
  • the side L of the netting (side of a mesh square) is advantageously such as to ensure an arrangement of the netting with at least one crossing inside the surface of each tile.
  • Such crossing can be just one at the centre of the tile (example of figure 5b , with side of the netting of 24 mm and side of the tiles of the same size), or double like in the examples of figures 5a and 5c , respectively referring to tiles again with side of 24 mm and netting with side of 12 mm ( figure 5a ), and to tiles with side of 48 mm and netting again with side of 24 mm.
  • the netting, with its relatively large mesh leaves a large portion of the back surface (over 70%) free and available for the clinging action of the installation materials.
  • the tiles that can be used according to the invention can be made from various materials such as ceramic, glass and natural stone, according to the most readily used types.
  • the netting made of fiberglass or other equivalent material can possibly be pretreated with a stiffener (for example a butyl methacrylate-based resin) to make the cohesion with the PVC even more solid.
