Description

Module for construction.

Object of the invention

The present invention, as expressed in The statement of this specification refers to a module for construction that is intended to cover exposed surfaces of walls, both interior and exterior, as well as floor surfaces and angled surfaces, such as stairs.

The invention consists of joining or welding several decorative elements on its back side not seen by a suitable material, so that the union of these various elements gives rise to the module of the invention that will be attached to a surface of stairs, to the floor or wall, then, by means adequate.

The decorative elements can be pieces ceramics, such as tiles, as well as plates of granite, natural or artificial stone, marble, etc. It is also applicable to metal parts or any other materials, such as wood, cardboard, conglomerates, plastics, with laminated polyester, etc.

Thus, the objective of the invention is to lower  costs substantially in covering walls and floors, reducing the workforce and making everything easier and Quick.

Background of the invention

At present, some walls and floors are covered by ceramic pieces, tiles, respectively; fixed said pieces independently through of cement, cement-glue, or any mortar adequate.

In other cases, those wall surfaces and Floors can be covered by granite plates, stone, etc. ... fixed these plates also with the mortar materials cited above.

The placement and fixing of these pieces independent requires some experience, resulting in a the least entertaining task, which makes the workforce face.

In addition, the placement of these pieces requires that their expensive faces are arranged coplanarly, demanding also that these parts are correctly aligned perpendicularly, since otherwise, the surface covered It would look aesthetically ugly.

Description of the invention

In order to achieve the objectives and avoid  drawbacks mentioned in the previous sections, the invention proposes a module for construction that is characterized because it comprises several independent pieces joined or welded by one of its faces through a layer of suitable material.

It is applicable to cover walls and floors by tiles, respectively, also applying to granite plates, stones, metal plates, etc .; so much for exteriors as interiors.

So, those independent pieces to cover floors and walls join together to form the module of the invention.

The union of the different pieces to conform The module of the invention consists of a polyester material, although they could be other materials.

The incorporation of this polyester material considerably reinforces the pieces and set of them, providing greater resistance to shocks due to the capacity of the bonding material to absorb and cushion said blows. In addition, the Polyester material constitutes a good insulator against the humidity, cold, heat, etc.

The incorporation of polyester material it facilitates on the other hand the fixation of the module by means of screws, although fixing could also be done using a material adhesive.

The module formed by the various pieces can be as large as desired or allowed, existing the possibility to configure not only rectangular modules, home runs, but in any other way, with the possibility of manufacturing modules with tongue and groove coupling by its edges

It is also possible to form modules with  stepped or other edges, depending on interest and needs to adapt as required.

Particularly, when it comes to tiles, it they can get vertical modules that reach from the ground to the ceiling, leaving some free bands when fixing is done through screws. These bands will be located essentially at the bottom edge of the module, another at a medium height and a third band located on the upper edge of the module, covering said bands with decorative borders, for  example.

When an adhesive material is used it is not they will need those free bands, although there is always the possibility to incorporate decorative borders or other elements of decor.

It is also possible to perform on the  own parts of the module holes to fix it through of the screws, holes that will later be covered with a material suitable. This possibility will apply essentially when cover the exterior surfaces using plates granite or other materials.

The module of the invention facilitates substantially covering surfaces, requiring less labor and less specialization, covering also much faster than how it is done conventionally through independent parts.

When the sores or separation between the pieces of the module are wide enough, they can be use to locate the fixing screws.

The modules of the invention can also form  angular surfaces to be applied for example to stairs.

On the other hand, when the modules are great surface, for example covering a complete wall of a bathroom, then the modules will be reinforced by a second layer of Extruded polyurethane to be fixed to the polyester layer through of an adhesive. The polyurethane could be another material.

Another possibility that allows the module of the invention is the provision of forming two vertical walls parallel and close to each other by properly joining them together and fixing them to the ground. The resulting space between the two can be fill after a building material or others, existing also the possibility of not filling that intermediate space. In In this case of the vertical walls, the modules incorporate the reinforcement referred to above.

Next to facilitate a better understanding of this descriptive report and being an integral part of the same, some figures are accompanied in which with character illustrative and not limiting the object of the invention.

Brief description of the drawings

Figure 1.- Shows a front view of some Building modules applied on a wall.

Figure 2.- Shows a profile view of the represented in the previous figure.

Figures 3 and 4.- They show a plan view of Two modules of the invention.

Figure 5.- Shows a profile view of two modules with a second layer of reinforcement.

Description of the preferred embodiment

Considering the numbering adopted in the figures, the construction module comprises in principle several decorative flat pieces, such as 1 tiles, 1 'tiles, 1 '' granite plates and the like; that are joined by their faces not views through a layer of polyester material 2, so that the generated module will be fixed to a wall or floor surface, both externally and internally.

Said layer of polyester material 2 constitutes the means of connection between the component parts of the module, said layer also serving as a link between the surface to be covered, said layer also constituting a material of isolation.

In a first embodiment applied to tiles 1 (figure 1), each module will have extreme free bands 3 of polyester material 1 that are not covered by the tiles 1, so that in such bands 3 holes 4 will be made to fix the modules through screws 5, hiding afterwards said bands 3 and screw heads with other elements 6 decorative, such as borders or the like.

In a second embodiment essentially applied to exterior surfaces (figure 3), the separation slots 7 between the 1 '' pieces allow the location of the screws of fixing, being able to hide later those slots and heads of the screws using a suitable material.

Another possibility is represented in the figure 4. In this case, front holes 4 'are made on the own pieces 1 'of the respective module to introduce the fixing screws, whose heads can be located on the own polyester material and also in the material of the own 1 'pieces.

In any case these holes will be covered Then with a suitable material.

When the module comprises a large area, then it will be reinforced with a layer of extruded polyurethane (2 ') to in order to maintain a minimum rigidity and resistance in the module.

Figure 5 shows an embodiment of two parallel and parallel vertical walls formed by reinforced modules, so that the intermediate space (8) is You can fill or not with other materials.
