Claims (9)

Patent Claims 1. A tile leveler (10) that can be used by the user to align the surfaces of two adjacent tiles (P), comprising a disposable element (12) and a wedge (14); the disposable element (12) comprising a base (16), from which a first arm (22) and a second arm (24) rise perpendicularly and which are connected to the lamella (28) at the top to form an opening (33) of the base (16), the first arm (22), among the second stem (24) and lamella (28); the wedge (14) comprising a ramp body (46) having a flat lower surface (47) and a sloping upper surface (50); the disposable element (12) being adapted to be arranged between the two plates (P); the wedge (14) being adapted to be inserted into the opening (33) above the plates (P) so as to engage the lamella (28) with the inclined upper surface (50) and to push downwardly the two plates (P) having a flat lower surface (47); wherein the tongue (40) projects downwards from the lamella (28) in the opening (33) and has a free end with a lower surface (64) on one side and is attached to the lamella (28) on the other side so as to be flexible and tilt- — vise, in which a saw tooth part (56) is formed on the inclined upper surface (50) with teeth (58) with which the free end of the tongue (40) can come into contact, so that when the wedge (14) is pushed into the opening (33), the tongue (40) slides along the saw tooth part (56) and that when the wedge (14) tries to get out, the free end of the tongue (40) hits one of the teeth (58) and prevents the wedge (14) from leaving the opening (33); characterized in that the tongue (40) is attached to the lamella (28) through a thinned part (44) so that it can be easily bent. 2. A leveler (10) according to the preceding claim, wherein the teeth (58) comprise a first surface (60) that is perpendicular to the inclined upper surface (50) and a second surface (62) that is inclined like the inclined upper surface (50). 3. The leveler (10) according to one of the preceding claims, in which the curved element (48) is connected to the end of the ramp body (46) with the highest height. 4. A leveler (10) according to one of the preceding claims, in which a first cylindrical body (36; 38) protrudes from the lamella (28) downwards into the opening (33), with the main axis of the cylindrical body (36; 38) being parallel to the surfaces of the tiles (P) and in which a first smooth lateral portion (52; 54) is formed on the inclined upper surface (50) and the first cylindrical body (36; 38) can slide on said smooth lateral portion (52, 54). 5. The leveler (10) according to the previous claim, in which one first cylindrical body (36) and one second cylindrical body (38) protrude from the lamella (36) downwards in the opening (33), and the main axis of both cylindrical bodies is parallel to the plates ( P) with the surfaces, and the tongue (40) is arranged between these cylindrical bodies, and where a first smooth lateral part (52) and a second smooth lateral part (54) are formed on the inclined upper surface (50), the saw tooth part ( 56) being arranged between the smooth side parts (52, 54), and the first cylindrical body (36) and the second cylindrical body (38) are respectively sliding on said smooth side parts (52, 54). 6. Leveler (10) according to the previous claim, in which the first cylindrical body (36) and the second cylindrical body (38) are connected to each other by a curved body (42). 7. The leveler (10) according to one of the preceding claims, wherein the lamella (28) contains a frame (30) that develops around a lamella (34) whose thickness is smaller than the thickness of the frame (30). 8. The leveler (10) according to one of the previous claims, in which at least one recess (18) is formed in the bottom (16) of the disposable element (12). 9. The leveler (10) according to one of the preceding claims, in which the first arm (22) and the second arm (24) are connected to the base (16) through a part (26) of reduced thickness.
