Description

  The present invention relates to a tile unit in which a plurality of tiles are aligned and unitized.

Conventionally, as a method of unitizing a plurality of tiles, there is a method in which a sheet such as paper or a net is pasted on the front or back surface of the tile and connected and integrated. For example, paper is stretched on the surface of a plurality of tiles. Something or something with a net on the back was used.

In the paper upholstery unit, the paper is glued to the surface of multiple tiles and the paper is glued into a unit.
After applying the adhesive to the sticking surface of the cabinet, the paper tension unit was stuck to the cabinet via the adhesive, and the paper was peeled off from the tile surface.
In the construction with this paper tension unit, at the stage of sticking to the chassis, the paper is located on the entire front surface and the tiles are not visible, and until the paper is peeled off, the tiles cannot be displaced or chipped, or the paper is peeled off. However, as a post-process, there has been a problem that the glue remaining on the tile has to be removed by washing, or that it cannot be used for rough tiles from the viewpoint of adhesive residue in the recesses on the tile surface.

In the net tension unit, the net is bonded to the back of multiple tiles with an adhesive or the like to form a unit, the adhesive is applied to the sticking surface of the chassis, and then the net tension unit is attached to the chassis via the adhesive. It was a method to do.
In construction using this net unit, adhesion may not be sufficient depending on the compatibility of materials such as tiles and nets, and there is a possibility that the tiles will peel off. There was a problem.

We do not conduct prior art searches at the research and development stage or application stage, and do not know the prior art documents to be described.

Problems to be solved include confirmation of tile form, post-cleaning steps, difficulty in use for rough tiles, adhesion, and aesthetics.

The present invention is based on the above-described prior art, and in view of the problems with various workability, a plurality of tiles are aligned and arranged with joint gaps, and spacers are arranged in the joint gaps. A transparent or translucent adhesive tape is releasably adhered to the surface of the tile across the tiles of the tile, and a tile unit integrated with the adhesive tape is provided so that the form can be visually recognized by adhering a spacer to the adhesive tape. The above-mentioned problem is solved by sticking to the adhesive and then removing the adhesive tape after curing to complete the construction.

In short, the present invention arranges a plurality of tiles in a desired form in which a plurality of tiles are arranged and arranged with joint gaps and spacers are arranged in the joint gaps. In addition, since the tiles are not closer than a predetermined distance, it is possible to prevent the adhesive tapes from adhering to each other in the joint gap and to secure and maintain a constant joint width.
In addition, since the adhesive tape is releasably bonded to the tile surface across all tiles, the tiles arranged in the desired form can be connected and integrated, and the adhesive tape can be easily peeled off for installation. It can be completed and the adhesive tape is transparent or translucent,
Immediately after sticking to the housing, it is possible to find and adjust tile defects, and because the spacer is bonded to the adhesive tape, the spacer can be removed simultaneously when the adhesive tape is peeled off.
Therefore, it is possible to construct multiple tiles at a time, improve the construction efficiency, or at the end of the construction when peeling the adhesive tape, it has the same performance as the previous mortar construction, the spacer It is removed and does not remain and does not impair the appearance. Furthermore, the adhesive layer of the adhesive tape is attached to the adhesive tape to be peeled, so there is no need for a post-cleaning process.
Work time can be shortened and it can be used for rough tiles.

Since the spacer is made of a cushioning material, even if the spacer removed at the same time as the adhesive tape comes into contact with the tile, adverse effects on the tile can be prevented.

Since the spacer is made thinner than the tile, the spacer does not adhere to the adhesive on the case side when the tile unit is attached to the case, so that the spacer can be prevented from remaining and the post-removal step can be made unnecessary.

Since the adhesive and spacer that bond the case and the back of the tile are made of a material with low mutual adhesive strength, even if a part of the spacer adheres to the adhesive on the case side, the attached spacer is easily removed I can do it.

Since the end of the adhesive tape is not adhered to the surface of the tile, the adhesive tape can be easily peeled from the tile using the non-adhesive portion.

Since two or more long rectangular adhesive tapes are bonded in parallel, the adhesive tape is partially bonded to the tile unit, and the area around the adhesive tape becomes a tape blank and the tile form can be directly confirmed. At the same time, the tiles can be kept aligned with the parallel adhesive tape, and the practical effect is significant.

Hereinafter, an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.
