A mortar 203 is applied to the adhesive surface of the tile 200 from above the mask, and the mask is removed.
00 is attached to the base 204. In this method, the tile 200 of the unit tile 202 is
Because the part that does not contribute to the adhesion of the tile is covered,
Mortar 20 to be applied only to the part contributing to adhesion
4 can be applied. Therefore, there is no need to uselessly apply the attaching mortar 204.

[0004]

However, when the masking is performed with an organic adhesive using the above mask, the organic adhesive has a high viscosity, so that when the organic adhesive is applied, it enters into the gap between the tile and the mask when applied. This makes it difficult to remove the mask from the tile. In addition, when the adhesive has adhered to the mask, the organic adhesive often cannot be removed. Therefore, it is difficult to perform masking with an organic adhesive using a mask used for masking with cement mortar.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS An embodiment of a mask for applying a tile adhesive according to the present invention will be described below with reference to FIGS.

<First Embodiment> First, FIG. 1 is a cross-sectional view of a mask portion showing a state in which an adhesive is applied using a flexible sheet-like mask and the mask is removed from a tile. 1 is a mask, 2 is a tile, and 3 is an adhesive.
The tiles 2 are unit tiles 6 which are arranged and temporarily attached on the backing paper 5 so that the bonding surfaces are bonded up. The mask 1 is formed of a flexible sheet of a polypropylene resin or a fluororesin, and has the same shape as a portion of the tile 2 where the adhesive 3 is applied to a portion that comes into contact with the tile 2 when placed on the unit tile 6. A hole 4 is provided. The adhesive 3 is an organic adhesive such as an interior epoxy resin adhesive or an exterior adhesive.

FIG. 2 and FIG. 3 are a side view and a top view of a mask provided with an adhesive tray. Here, 7 is an adhesive receiving tray, 8 is a guide member, and 9 is a unit tile layer in which the unit tiles 6 are stacked with the bonding surface facing up. The adhesive receiving trays 7, 7 are connected to the sides of the mask 1 and have bundle portions 10, 10 at the lower part. By placing the mask 1 on the unit tile layer 9 when applying the adhesive 3, the bundles 10, 10 abut on the side surfaces of the unit tile layer 9, and the adhesive trays 7, 7 are fixed. Further, guide members 8, 8 are provided at the side ends of the mask 1 where the adhesive trays 7, 7 are not connected.

Next, an operation of applying the adhesive 3 using the mask 1 will be described. First, the mask 1 is placed on the uppermost unit tile 6 of the unit tile layer 9, and the bundles 10, 10 below the adhesive trays 7, 7 abut against the side surfaces of the unit tile layer 9, and the adhesive trays 7, 7 is fixed. The adhesive 3 is removed from the adhesive receiving tray 7 with a coating member, and the coating member is brought into contact with the guide member 8 so as to slide on the mask 1. At this time, the holes 4 provided in the mask 1
The adhesive 3 is applied on the mask 1 so that the adhesive 3 is embedded in the mask 1. The excess adhesive 3 is removed by a coating member so as not to remain on the mask 1, and the excess adhesive 3 is returned to the adhesive tray 7. When the adhesive 3 is applied to the tile 2, the end of the mask 1 is lifted and the mask 1 is gradually peeled off the tile 2 so as to be turned up. After the mask 1 is peeled off, the unit tile 6 to which the adhesive 3 has been applied is removed from the unit tile layer 9 and attached to a base such as a wall. Similarly, the adhesive 3 is applied to the next unit tile 6.

As described above, according to the tile adhesive mask of the above embodiment, the mask 1 is formed of a sheet of polypropylene resin or fluorine resin.
The adhesive 3 is hard to adhere, and the adhesive 3 is easily removed. Further, since the mask 1 is a flexible sheet, it can be gradually peeled off from the tile 2 as it is turned up from the end. In addition, the provision of the adhesive trays 7, 7 allows the adhesive 3 to be stocked immediately beside the unit tile 6, so that the adhesive 3 need not be taken in and out for each unit tile 6. Therefore, the adhesive 3 can be continuously applied, and the application operation is shortened. Further, the provision of the guide member 8 allows the adhesive 3 to be applied to the unit tile 6.
The coating operation can be performed accurately without being applied outside the coating.

<Second Embodiment> FIG. 4 is a cross-sectional view showing a state in which a mask is removed from a tile after applying an adhesive using a plate-shaped mask with a strip of folds. 3 is an adhesive, 6 is a unit tile, and 11 is a mask. The mask 11 is formed of a plate of polypropylene resin or fluororesin, and is arranged in parallel with the rows of individual tiles.
There are multiple folds from one end of the mask to the other. Further, similarly to the first embodiment, a hole 12 is provided in a portion that comes into contact with the tile 2 when placed on the unit tile 6 so that the adhesive 3 can be applied. Also, the same organic adhesive as that of the first embodiment is used as the adhesive 3.

As in the first embodiment, the mask 11 is placed on the bonding surface side of the tile 2 of the unit tile 6, and the adhesive 3 is applied from above the mask 11 using a coating member. Excess adhesive 3 on 11 is removed. When the application of the adhesive 3 is completed, the end of the mask 11 is lifted, bent at each fold, and the mask 11 is gradually peeled from the tile 2 so as to be turned up.

The adhesive trays 7, 7 and the guide members 8, 8 used in the first embodiment are the same as those of the mask 11 described above.
Can also be applied.

As described above, according to the tile adhesive mask of the above embodiment, since the mask 11 is made of a polypropylene resin or a fluororesin plate, the adhesive 3 is hardly adhered to the tile. Easy to remove. Further, since the mask 11 is a plate having a fold, when the mask 11 is lifted from the end, it is bent at each fold and can be gradually peeled off from the tile 2 so as to be turned up.

<Third Embodiment> FIG. 5 is a cross-sectional view showing a state in which a mask is removed from a tile after applying an adhesive using a plate-shaped mask to which a plurality of springs are attached.
3 is an adhesive, 6 is a unit tile, 13 is a mask, 14
Is a spring. The mask 13 is formed of a plate made of polypropylene resin or fluorine resin, and has a plurality of springs 14 attached to the side in contact with the tile 2. The mask 13 is provided with holes 15 for applying the adhesive 3 to the tiles 2 at portions of the unit tile 6 that come into contact with the tiles 2 when applying the adhesive 3. The same adhesive as that of the first and second embodiments is used as the adhesive 3.

When the mask 13 is placed on the unit tile 6,
Since the spring 14 contacts the unit tile 6, the mask 1
3 does not touch tile 2 directly. By applying a force from above the mask 13 with a coating member to apply the adhesive 3, the spring 14 contracts and the mask 13 contacts the tile 2. At the same time, the adhesive 3 is applied to the tile 2 from the hole 15 of the mask 13. When the application of the adhesive 3 is completed and the force by the application member is not applied, the mask 13 is pushed up by the reaction force of the spring 14 and separates from the tile 2.

The adhesive trays 7, 7 and the guide members 8, 8 used in the first embodiment are the same as those of the mask 13 described above.
Can also be applied.

As described above, according to the tile adhesive mask of the above embodiment, since the mask 13 is formed of the polypropylene resin or the fluororesin, the adhesive 3 hardly adheres and the adhesive 3 is removed. It's easy to do. Further, since the mask 13 is provided with the spring 14 that comes into contact with the unit tile 6, the mask 13 is pushed up by the reaction force of the spring 14 immediately after the application is completed, so that the mask 2 can be naturally released from the tile 2.
Therefore, the mask 13 can be easily removed from the tile 2.

In the above embodiment, the mask is made of polypropylene resin or fluororesin. However, the present invention is not limited to this. The mask is made of a material to which an organic adhesive is unlikely to adhere. I just want it. In the third embodiment, a spring is provided as an elastic member. However, an elastic member, for example, rubber or the like may be provided. A part may be formed. Further, the structure and number of the adhesive receiving tray and the guide members, the number and shape of the holes provided in each mask, and the like are also arbitrary, and it goes without saying that the specific detailed structure and the like can be appropriately changed.
