Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a tile retainer, which not only improves the alignment of tiles on the same horizontal plane, but also helps tiles to be flatly attached on a desired wall surface and strengthens the fixing of tiles.
  • Tiles are typically used to decorate the floor and the outside wall of a building. However, it is usually difficult to align the tiles during installation, no matter from what direction.
  • Fig. 13 is an example of prior art which shows misalignment of a plurality of tiles 30, wherein the gaps s among tiles and the heights of tiles are different from one another so that the tiles are not neat and tidy, resulting in unsatisfactory appearance of outside wall of the building and high risk of tiles peeling off. Therefore, it is desirable to provide an improved tile retainer to install the tiles to mitigate and obviate the aforementioned problems.
  • the tile retainer of the present invention includes a base, a partition plate and a pull tab.
  • the base includes a plurality of overflow holes.
  • the partition plate is arranged on the base to separate a plurality of tiles disposed on the base.
  • the pull tab is arranged on the partition plate.
  • the tile retainer of the present invention fixes a plurality of corners of a plurality of tiles. Once the corners of the tiles are aligned vertically and horizontally, the tiles are aligned with each other accordingly.
  • the overflow holes pass through the base to enable slurry to overflow from one surface of the base to another surface of the base.
  • the base is rectangular
  • the partition plate is a cross-shaped partition plate to separate four tiles.
  • the four tiles are placed on top of the base to be aligned vertically, and abutted upon the partition plate to be aligned horizontally.
  • the overflow holes are distributed symmetrically based on the partition plate.
  • the pull tab includes a taper section, and the pull tab is connected with the partition plate through the taper section.
  • the taper section may be broken by rotation to remove the pull tab.
  • the tile retainer further includes a press cover equipped with an opening through which the pull tab passes.
  • the press cover is operated with the base to clamp a plurality of tiles separated by the partition plate.
  • the press cover further includes an upper wall and a plurality of side walls. The side walls are perpendicular to and connected with upper wall, and the opening passes through the upper wall.
  • the opening has an oblique inner wall
  • the pull tab has a saw-toothed outer wall
  • the oblique inner wall of the opening matches with the saw-toothed outer wall of the pull tab.
  • the pull tab has a pull hole arranged at one end of the pull tab away from the partition plate.
  • the pull hole allows a pivot of the pliers or a connection member extended from the pivot of the pliers to pass through, such that the pivot of the pliers applies force to the pull tab.
  • the tile retainer of the present invention enables the tiles to be vertically and horizontally aligned with each other on the same horizontal plane, and to be flatly attached to the wall surface to which the tiles are fixed, so as to further strengthen the fixing of the tiles.
  • Fig. 1 is a schematic diagram of the tile retainer according to an embodiment of the present invention.
  • Fig. 2 is a three-dimensional cross-sectional view taken along the line A-A in Fig. 1 .
  • Fig. 3 is a planar cross-sectional view taken along the line A-A in Fig. 1 .

  • the overflow holes pass through the base 11, and are adapted for slurry 60 to overflow from one surface of the base 11 to the other surface of the base 11.
  • the slurry may overflow through the overflow holes to the other surface of the base 11, so that a plurality of corners of the tile retainer itself are aligned on the same horizontal plane.
  • the plurality of tiles 30 fixed by the tile retainer 1, in particular the corners thereof are aligned on the same horizontal plane, and thus are flatly attached to the desired wall surface 40.
  • the partition plate 12 is arranged on the base 11, and is adapted to separate a plurality of tiles 30 arranged on the base 11.
  • the base 11 is of a rectangle, preferably a square, but other shapes are also possible.
  • the partition plate 12 is substantially a cross-shaped partition plate, preferably a cross-shaped partition plate with equal length, for separating four tiles 30; however, other shapes are also possible. In practice, the thickness of the partition plate may be 3 mm with a height of 8 mm, for example.
  • the four tiles 30 may be placed on the base 11 for alignment on the same horizontal plane, and abutted upon the partition plate 12 so as to be aligned vertically and horizontally.

  • the opening 213 passes through the upper wall 211.
  • the press cover 21 is operated with the base 11 for clamping a plurality of tiles 30 separated by the partition plate 12, as shown in Fig. 3 and Fig. 4 .
  • the press cover 21 has a shape of cuboid, or even a shape of cube.
  • the shape thereof is not limited, and even a cylindrical or elliptical cylinder is acceptable.
  • the plurality of tiles 30 can be applied with equal force through the press cover 21, and the plurality of tiles 30 can also be applied with equal force through the base 11.
  • the points of force application to the plurality of tiles 30 through the press cover 21 must be symmetrical, and the points of force application to the plurality of tiles 30 through the base 11 must also be symmetrical. As a result, it is able to ensure that the plurality of tiles 30 are aligned with each other on the same horizontal plane, and are flatly attached to the wall surface 40 to which the tiles 30 are to be fixed.
  • the press cover 21 is used for pushing the plurality of tiles 30 downward, and thus it is necessary to prevent the press cover 21 from moving upward in the reverse direction.
  • the opening 213 of the press cover 21 may have an oblique inner wall 214
  • the pull tab 13 may have a saw-toothed outer wall 132.
  • the oblique inner wall 214 of the opening 213 of the press cover 21 is matched with the saw-toothed outer wall 132 of the pull tab 13, which is particularly shown in the enlarged portion of Fig. 2 .
  • the press cover 21 may only move downward because of the match between the oblique inner wall 214 and the saw-toothed outer wall 132, and does not move upward in the reverse direction, thereby ensuring the efficiency of the force application.
