Description

DEVICE FOR ASSEMBLY OF PARQUET TYPE TILES OBJECT OF THE INVENTION

The present invention, as expressed in the statement of this specification, refers to a device for mounting parquet-type tiles, whose essential purpose is to facilitate flooring by simple anchors whose aesthetics do not bother the user, of so that its simplicity, its flush perfection and its visual beauty allow its application especially in parquet-type tiles, although applications such as ceramic tiles, plastic tiles, or even coatings of other surfaces outside the ground, such as columns, are not ruled out. facades and internal cladding of various types of enclosures; so that the tiles can be held together to form the pavement by means of binding pieces, each of which is capable of connecting several tiles, as with other types of flooring, but with particular characteristics that will be explained later .

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

Various systems and devices for the establishment of floors are known without the need for adhesive products, cements or other irreversible fixing means, given the tremendous inconveniences that occur in homes when a pavement has to be destroyed, such as the accumulation of rubble and others that may even harm the health of the inhabitants and workers who perform the corresponding work, due to the continuous inhalation of suspended particles with harmful effects. The discomforts and numbness that the inhabitants of the house suffer from land are well known, and may lead to involuntary displacements for longer than expected, generating unforeseen expenses on many occasions.

Regarding industrial property records related to the invention, we can cite the US patent US 2 135 118 relative to a floor mountable by tongue and groove, in this case the inconvenience of requiring a base structure provided with projections that are inserted into corresponding recesses of the tiles. In this register, the hidden surfaces of the tiles are completely smooth, lacking the recess configuration of the device of the invention.

On the other hand, the invention patent with publication number ES 2 257 115 is referred to as "assembly of cladding and paving parts" that facilitates plating surfaces reversibly and without masonry work, comprising steps consisting in that female pieces are inserted and immobilized on the surface to be coated; male pieces are inserted into female pieces; an adhesive is applied on the inserted male parts; coating pieces, and optionally filler sheets, are placed on the glued male parts; and the placed lining pieces are leveled. This registration ES 2 257 115 is quite alien to the invention, since although there is a tongue and groove and the lining pieces can be reversibly placed and relocated on the corresponding pavement, it requires the insertion and immobilization of the tongue and groove pieces by means of adhesive, disadvantageous circumstance that does not occur in the invention. In addition, it lacks the recesses provided on the hidden surfaces of the tiles of the device of the invention. The record closest to the invention that has been located is the utility model listed as "device for joining removable floor tiles" with publication number

ES 1 063 249 U, consisting of a "device for joining removable floor tiles, of the type formed by a wooden base or similar; with a ceramic top plate or similar; characterized in that it is constituted by joining pieces , in the form of a cross, whose arms are topped off in individual cylindrical bulges or lugs that are introduced in respective machining of the lower face, which include the housing of the respective arm to make up with said lower face.

registration includes tiles and additional parts that they interconnect several tiles, just as with the

record of the invention, the links or joining pieces between the tiles are under the tile when the operation has been completed and also has an essential shape with a cross floor so that each arm of the cross grabs a tile, thereby making the links or pieces in the shape of the tile itself would require a great expense of material, and the link can not be used as a rectangular tile over the floor. We do not know in the current state of the art any record

equivalent

that meet the features specific from the

present invention
