Description

  The present invention relates to a tile knit in which a plurality of tiles arranged in alignment are connected by a net bonded to each tile, and a construction method thereof. Specifically, the present invention relates to a tile unit in which a net for connecting tiles is bonded to the front surface of a tile, and a construction method thereof.

  A tile unit formed by arranging and arranging a plurality of tiles and connecting the tiles together by a connecting material is well known. As this tile unit, there are a backing unit in which a connecting material is bonded to the back surface of the tile, and a covering member in which the connecting material is bonded to the front surface of the tile.

  Nets are widely used as connecting materials for tile units on the backing.

  In the case of an empty joint method in which this tile unit is lined up, the net can be seen through the joint gap, resulting in a poor appearance. Therefore, when constructing a lining tile unit by an empty joint method, it is necessary to reduce the joint width so that the net is not noticeable.

Paper is widely used as the connecting material for the front tile unit (for example, Japanese Utility Model Laid-Open Nos. 60-184535 and 51-125711). This paper is peeled off by dipping water after the tile unit is pasted. According to this front tile unit, it looks good even as an empty joint.
Japanese Utility Model Sho 60-184535 Shokai 51-125711

  In the case of a surface tile unit using paper as a connecting material, the adhesive tends to adhere and remain on a wide area on the front surface of the tile on the trace of the paper. In addition, according to the joint joint construction method, even if a large amount of adhesive remains on the front surface of the tile, the adhesive is also wiped off when joint material is wiped off. A separate effort is required.

  An object of this invention is to provide the surface tile unit which can prevent thru | or suppress the adhesion residue of an adhesive agent, and its construction method.

  The tile unit according to claim 1 is a tile knit in which a plurality of tiles arranged in an array are connected by a net bonded to the front surface of each tile, and the net is a net formed by braiding yarns. It is characterized by this.

  A tile unit according to a second aspect of the present invention is the tile unit according to the first aspect, wherein the net is a net braided in two axes, three axes, or four axes.

  A tile unit according to a third aspect is characterized in that, in the first or second aspect, the net is bonded to the tile with an adhesive that can be peeled off in a dry state.

  A tile unit according to a fourth aspect is the tile unit according to the third aspect, wherein the adhesive is a modified vinyl acetate adhesive.

  The tile unit construction method according to claim 5 is a tile unit construction method including a step of attaching a tile unit formed by connecting a plurality of tiles arranged in alignment to a base surface. 5. The tile unit according to any one of 4, wherein the net is peeled off after the tile unit is attached to a base surface.

  The method for constructing a tile unit according to claim 6 is characterized in that, in claim 5, an empty joint is used.

  In the tile unit of the present invention, a net is bonded to the front surface of the tile. Since this net is a braided yarn, the amount of adhesive attached is small, and there is no or little adhesive residue remaining after the adhesive is peeled off. In particular, when attaching the adhesive to the net and then attaching the net to the front surface of the tiles arranged in alignment, the excess adhesive can be obtained by blowing air to blow off the curtain-like adhesive striking the net. Can be removed. As a result, it is possible to prevent adhesion residue of the adhesive on the front surface of the tile or to significantly reduce it.

  This net is preferably a 2-axis, 3-axis or 4-axis network, particularly preferably a 3-axis or 4-axis. A thread having a diameter of 0.01 to 1 mm is suitable for the net. The distance between the net yarns is preferably about 5 to 20 mm.

  When an adhesive that can peel off the net from the tile even in a dry state is used, it is not necessary to use water when constructing the tile unit by finishing the joint.

  A tile unit and its construction method according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.

  FIG. 1 is a perspective view of a tile unit according to an embodiment of the present invention.

  The tile unit 3 is formed by connecting a plurality of tiles 1 with a net 4. In the net 4, yarns 4a, 4b, 4c made of rayon staple (sufu) or the like extend in three axial directions, and the yarns 4a to 4c are bound by a binder at the intersections. Specifically, the net 4 includes warp yarns 4a extending in a direction parallel to the sides of the square net 4 and oblique yarns 4b and 4c obliquely intersecting the warp yarns 4a. Oblique yarns 4b and 4c cross the warp yarn 4a in an X-shape. Each yarn 4a-4c is braided.

  The net 4 is bonded to the front surface of the plurality of tiles 1 arranged in alignment with an adhesive.

  The diameter of the yarns 4a to 4c is preferably 0.01 to 1 mm, particularly 0.1 to 0.5 mm. If the diameter of the yarns 4a to 4c is too small, the strength of the net is insufficient, and the adhesive strength between the net 4 and the tile 1 is insufficient. On the other hand, if the yarn diameter is too large, the amount of adhesive attached to the net becomes too large, and as a result, the amount of adhesive remaining on the front surface of the tile also increases.

  The yarns 4a, 4a, 4b, 4b and 4c, 4c are parallel to each other. The interval between the parallel yarns is preferably 5 to 20 mm, particularly 10 to 15 mm. If this interval is too small, the liquid adhesive tends to spread over the openings. On the contrary, if the interval is too large, the restriction of the tile 1 by the net 4 becomes loose, and the tile becomes easy to move.

  As an adhesive for adhering the net 4 to the tile 1, one having a property capable of peeling the net 4 from the tile 1 without being wetted with water is preferable, and a modified vinyl acetate adhesive is particularly preferable. . However, in the present invention, the net 4 may be peeled off by being wetted with water. In that case, a water-soluble adhesive such as starch paste or acrylic emulsion adhesive may be used.

  When the net 4 is bonded to the tile 1 with an adhesive, it is preferable that the net 4 is adhered to the front surface of the tiles 1 arranged in an aligned manner after the adhesive is attached to the net 4. In this case, it is preferable that after the adhesive is attached to the net 4, air is blown onto the net 4 and excess adhesive such as an adhesive stretched in a curtain shape is blown off on the net 4.

  The tile unit 3 is attached to the wall base surface with a tile adhesive (for example, a modified silicon-based elastic adhesive). After the tile adhesive is cured, the net 4 is peeled off. If it is a modified vinyl acetate adhesive, the net 4 can be peeled off without using water.

  In the case of a water-soluble adhesive, the net 4 is removed after wetting the net 4 with water. Thus, when the net 4 is wetted with water and peeled off, the water easily enters between the net 4 and the tile 1 from between the eyes of the net 4, so that the net 4 is immediately peeled off after being wetted with water. be able to. Excess adhesive that could not be removed is bonded in a state of being gathered at the intersection by the surface tension of the adhesive. When peeling off the net with water, water gathers at the intersection as well as the adhesive, so it is easy to peel off.

  After the net 4 is peeled off, it is preferable that the joints are made empty without being jointed. In the present invention, since the net is removed, the net cannot be seen between the joints even if the joint width is widened, and the appearance is good.

  In this embodiment, since the net 4 used as the connecting material is attached to the tile 1 with a small amount of adhesive as compared with the connecting material formed by sticking paper to the entire surface, the net 4 is peeled off. There is no or almost no adhesive remaining, and no treatment for removing the adhesive (for example, wiping with water) is performed at all, or the front of the tile 1 has a beautiful appearance simply by performing it very simply. Become.

  As mentioned above, a modified vinyl acetate adhesive that can be peeled off in a dry state is used as an adhesive for net attachment, and when it is made empty joints, it is not necessary to perform joint filling, so water is used for tile construction. Is completely unnecessary.

  In the above embodiment, the tile 1 is square, but it may be tile units 10A and 10B in which rectangular tiles 11 or 12 are horizontally or vertically stretched as shown in FIGS.

  In the above embodiment, the net 4 is a triaxial net, but it may be a biaxial net extending only in the vertical and horizontal directions. Moreover, the 4-axis net | network which added the weft thread orthogonal to a warp thread to the net | network of FIGS. 1-3 may be sufficient. However, a three-axis or four-axis net that has a high effect of preventing the tile unit from extending in an oblique direction is more preferable than a two-axis net.

It is a perspective view of the front surface of the tile unit which concerns on embodiment. It is a front view of the tile unit which concerns on another embodiment. It is a front view of the tile unit which concerns on another embodiment.
