Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION The present invention can be applied to an iron member or an adhered surface having a ferromagnetic material surface in advance, and can be applied to a floor surface or the like by means of interior and exterior facing materials such as a wall surface and a floor surface of a building or a number of tiles. The present invention relates to a composite tile particularly suitable for a mosaic for drawing a pattern.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, ceramic tiles, such as porcelain tiles, which are frequently used for construction purposes, are often attached by plastering work using mortar as a joining material, and jointing is performed between individual tiles. It was done. Also,
After a fixing member for fixing a tile is attached, a method of inserting a tile having a shape corresponding to an insertion portion is also employed. In addition to ceramic tiles, there are various types of tiles such as wooden, synthetic resin, and metal. The method of sticking is not limited to mortar, and may be stuck to a wall or floor by other sticking means such as an adhesive.

[0003]

As described above, sticking tiles and performing joint treatment with cement or the like requires time, high quality finishing requires skilled craftsmen, and is made of various materials. Even when the tiles are fixed with an adhesive, finishing with a fixed joint width or combining tiles of various colors and shapes into a predetermined pattern requires a laborious operation by a skilled person. Furthermore, it is difficult to remove the tile once adhered, and the design cannot be easily changed.

The present invention solves the above-mentioned drawbacks of the prior art, and can be easily attached to or detached from the surface of an iron member of a building or an adherend on which a ferromagnetic surface has been formed in advance, without requiring a skilled worker. It is an object of the present invention to provide a composite tile in which inexperienced persons can change a complicated mosaic.

[0005]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION In order to achieve the above object, the present invention relates to a decorative composite tile to be attached to an iron plate or other ferromagnetic material surface. When a plurality of tiles are aligned by attaching a magnetized sheet magnet, different poles face each other at the edge of the sheet magnet attached to each tile and are fixed by suction. That is, a reference line that becomes linear when a plurality of tiles are arranged in parallel is determined on the tile surface, and a magnet is attached to the back surface of the tile such that the reference line is parallel to the magnetic pole of the magnet. The sticking area of the sheet-like magnet is not always provided on the entire back surface of the tile, but may be provided only on a frame-shaped or peripheral main part depending on the conditions such as the weight of the tile and the installation place.

[0006] By providing an unbonded portion between the tile and the sheet-like magnet at least at a part of the peripheral edge of the sheet-like magnet attached to the back surface of the tile, peeling after the tile construction can be facilitated.

[0007] A notch is formed by cutting a part of the peripheral edge of the sheet-like magnet adhered to the back surface of the tile. The composite tile can be peeled off by pressing the tile end corresponding to the notch.

When a sheet-like magnet is adhered to the back surface of a tile so as to form an even number of magnetic poles for each group such as a pattern composed of a plurality of tiles and the work is continuously performed in group units,
The opposite poles of the magnets are opposed to each other at the tile edge, and a continuous pattern can be reliably formed.

[0009]

DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS Embodiments of the present invention will be described based on embodiments with reference to the drawings. Reference numeral 1 denotes a tile, which is made of any material such as ceramic, glass, cement, ceramic tile, metal, wooden, or synthetic resin. Reference numeral 2 denotes a sheet-like magnet adhered to the entire back surface of the tile 1 with an adhesive, and a plurality of magnetic poles parallel to a side edge of the tile 1 are arranged in stripes. Therefore,
At the time of construction, if the directions of the tiles are adjusted so that the different poles of the magnet are adjacent to each other, the construction can be completed quickly only by arranging the tiles one after another on the ferromagnetic wall surface.

As the sheet magnet 2, for example, a sintered magnet of barium ferrite, strontium, rare earth or the like, or a bonded magnet of barium ferrite rubber magnet, strontium rubber magnet, strontium plastic magnet, etc. is used. Used as 2,
The material is not limited as long as it has a magnetic force capable of being attracted and fixed to the wall surface of the ferromagnetic material.

In the embodiment shown in FIG. 1, the sheet-like magnet 2 is adhered to the entire back surface of the tile 1. However, depending on the construction conditions such as the material of the tile, the application and the place of construction, it is possible to provide the magnet only on a part of the back surface of the tile. good. For example, when the sheet-shaped magnet is formed in a frame shape on the peripheral portion of the tile, the peripheral portion is fixed even if the central portion of the tile is not adsorbed when adsorbed on the wall surface of the ferromagnetic material.

FIGS. 2A and 2B show another embodiment of FIG. 1 and are rear views of a regular hexagonal composite tile.
(A) is a sheet in which a sheet-like magnet is adhered such that one side of a regular hexagon is a reference line and the magnetic poles and the sides are parallel.
(B) shows a diagonal line that is not parallel to the side of the regular hexagon as a reference line, and a sheet-like magnet is attached so that the reference line and the magnetic pole are parallel. This structure applies not only to a regular hexagon but also to an even regular polygon. In the case of an odd regular polygon, one side is used as a reference line, and a magnet is attached so that the reference line and the magnetic pole are parallel.

The reference line is not limited to a diagonal line or a side. But,
It is rare to use only one tile except for special cases, and it is common to use multiple tiles in parallel.
Adjacent tiles must face each other with opposite poles of the magnet. When a special line other than a side or a diagonal line is used as a reference line, there is a possibility that the same poles are opposed to each other at the tile edge and rebound, so that the magnetic pole arrangement at the tile edge must be carefully considered.

FIG. 3 is a perspective view showing an embodiment of a composite tile in which a tile and a flexible sheet-like magnet are bonded only at two diagonal corners, and is perpendicular to the tile surface to remove the tile. It shows a state immediately before being peeled off in the direction.

Reference numeral 3 denotes a bonded portion between the tile 1 and the sheet-like magnet 2, and other than the bonded portion 3, the tile 1 and the magnet 2 are non-bonded portions 4, which are separated from each other. When this composite tile is adhered to a steel wall surface 5, it can be fixed by suction without any difference from the composite tile in which the tile 1 and the magnet 2 are entirely adhered.

When removing the tile after the operation, if the portion corresponding to the unbonded portion 4 of the tile 1 is pulled to the surface side and floated, the tile of the bonded portion 3 is also pulled and peeled off together with the magnet 2, and the unbonded portion 4 is removed. Only the magnet of the type (1) is attracted to the wall surface 5 to be in the state of FIG. Further, when the tile 1 is pulled, a force acts in a direction in which the magnet 2 is peeled off by being pulled by the magnet 2 of the bonding portion 3, and the composite tile can be completely peeled off from the wall surface 5. Also tile 1
In the case where there is a slight unevenness on the wall surface on which is to be applied, the periphery of the flexible magnet free from the tile 1 can be in close contact with the ferromagnetic material surface, and the tile 1 can be securely fixed.

FIG. 4 is a perspective view of a composite tile in which only two diagonal corners are unbonded, and immediately before the composite tile is peeled off.

As shown in FIG. 3, it can be fixed by suction to the wall 5 and when peeled off, the area of the bonding portion 3 between the tile 1 and the magnet 2 is large, so that a larger force is required than in FIG.
When the magnet corresponding to the unbonded portion 4 of the tile 1 is pulled to the surface side to peel off the magnet of the bonded portion 3 integrated with the tile 1, the sheet-shaped magnet of the unbonded portion 4 is instantaneously peeled.

FIG. 5 shows a composite tile having a cutout in a part of a sheet-like magnet adhered to the back of the tile.
(A) is a rear side perspective view, (B) is an end view in use state.

Reference numeral 6 denotes a notch formed by cutting a part of the periphery of the sheet magnet 2 adhered to the back surface of the tile 1. When the composite tile is installed on a steel surface 7 such as a wall or a floor, a magnet cut in contact with the steel surface 7 as shown in FIG. The edge of the surface can be used as a fulcrum, and the edge of the surface of the tile 1 corresponding to the notch 6 can be peeled off as a power point.

That is, the replacement of the composite tile adsorbed and fixed on the steel surface 7 is performed by pressing the surface end of the tile 1 corresponding to the notch 6 as shown by the two-dot chain line in FIG. With the edge of the cut surface of the magnet 2 as a fulcrum, the composite tile can be raised against the attraction force of the magnet 2.

Originally, it is difficult to remove the magnet attracted to the steel surface from the direction perpendicular to the attracted surface against the attraction force because a large force is required. Also, if many tiles are constructed without gaps, hands or tools cannot be put on the side of the tiles to remove them, so it is difficult to remove the first one. However, since the composite tile according to the present embodiment can be peeled off only by pressing the edge of the tile, it is easy to construct the composite tile according to the present embodiment in at least one place while laying a large number of composite tiles. This is very convenient because if one part is peeled off, other adjacent composite tiles can be peeled off one after another even if there is no chipped part.

FIGS. 6A, 6B, and 6C show an isosceles triangle adjacent to two sides of one square tile.
FIGS. 3A and 3B show examples of the construction of tiles forming one pattern in groups of three, wherein FIG. 4A is a plan view and FIG. 4B is a rear view, in which an even number of magnetic poles are parallel to one side of each tile. The sheet-like magnet is stuck. (C) is a rear view of another embodiment, in which the tile surface is the same as that of (A), but the magnets are arranged such that an even number of magnetic poles are arranged in parallel on the back side with respect to the base of the triangle among the tiles of one group. It is stuck.

If the direction of the pattern is fixed as in the square tile of FIG. 6, the tile cannot be attached upside down in the case of the magnetic pole arrangement as shown in FIG. Must be attached to the magnet. In the case of (C), the number of magnetic poles of each isosceles triangle is an odd number, but the number of magnetic poles as a group is an even number. Therefore, even if the same pattern is cascaded or arranged in parallel, the magnet ends face different poles. Can be continuous.

When the tile pattern has a predetermined direction as described above, if the direction is incorrect during tile construction, it cannot be adhered by repelling the adjacent magnet, and rather there is no risk of being mistakenly attached. Easy and reliable construction is possible.

[0023]

In the tile according to the present invention, a magnet having an even number of magnetic poles is attached on the back surface so that the reference line of the tile and the magnetic pole are parallel to each other. Tiles can be attached simply by arranging them, and even beginners can perform stable construction without displacement using the attractive force of the N and S poles of the magnet. If the design is to be changed after sticking, it can be peeled off from the edge of the magnet and replaced, especially in the case of a flexible magnet, the replacement is easy.

Further, when an unbonded portion is provided between the tile and the sheet-like magnet or a cutout portion of the magnet is provided, the composite tile after construction can be easily peeled off. Appropriate construction and replacement can be performed without damaging the device.

The composite tile according to the present invention is easy to install and remove, so that inexperienced persons can replace complicated patterns and continuous patterns with good performance.
