Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a tile unit for providing a texture to joints, which is installed at a corner portion such as an outside corner or a corner.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, as disclosed in Japanese Patent No. 2517283, a tile unit in which ceramic tiles are connected by an elastic joint material has been known. As the elastic joint material of such a tile unit, for example, an organic elastic joint material such as polyurethane is used, so that the connected ceramic tile and the elastic joint material are different materials.

[0003] On the other hand, when a normal ceramic tile is constructed,
Mortar was used as the joint material, and the ceramic tile and joint were made of similar materials and had the same texture. On the other hand, the unit tile disclosed in Japanese Patent No. 2517283 has a drawback that it is uncomfortable with ordinary construction tiles because it is formed of a different material.

Also, the adjacent ceramic tiles in the unit tile disclosed in Japanese Patent No. 2517283 are connected only by the side surfaces thereof with the elastic joint material, so that the adhesive strength of the joint surface between the ceramic tile and the elastic joint material is low. At the time of manufacture, transportation, and construction, there was a possibility of separation and splitting at the connecting surface.

Accordingly, the present applicant has filed Japanese Patent Application No. 10-64.
No. 513 proposes a tile unit that eliminates the difference in texture between a ceramic tile and a joint and maintains the strength of the unit. Specifically, a plurality of ceramic tiles are connected with an elastic material made of synthetic resin and sand to form a joint so as to form joints, and a back surface layer of the same material as the elastic material is formed on the back surface of the unit. By providing, the feeling of incongruity due to the ceramic tile and the material of the joint is reduced, the texture of the construction is usually produced, and the connection state is maintained in the back layer. In addition, sand is exposed on a part of the joint surface by shaving the surface of the joint between the ceramic tiles to form a rough surface,
The texture of customary construction has been increased.

[0006]

However, in the above-mentioned tile unit, it is easy to attach the tile to a flat surface, but the tile unit cannot be attached to a corner where two attaching surfaces intersect. There were issues that had to be addressed.

[0007]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION In view of the problem that tiles cannot be adhered to corners based on the above-mentioned prior art, the present invention is based on the above-mentioned prior art. A unit with the same texture as the other tile units, by forming a joint with an elastic material consisting of and bonding a corner tile unit with a back surface layer of the same material as the joint on the back of a ceramic bent tile to the corner. As a result, the above problem can be solved.
