Abstract

<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a decorative tile wall that creates a great decorative effect by means of a simple configuration. <P>SOLUTION: A wall surface is formed by a tile unit 10 having a plurality of tiles 11A, 11B, 11C. Each of the tiles has on its surface a pattern consisting of projections and recesses 15. Since the pattern consists of the projections and recesses 15, light striking the pattern is reflected in a complex way. Since the tiles have different patterns, they reflect light to different degrees, resulting in a variety of colors. That is, even if the tiles are the same color, they are sensed by the human eye to be varied in color or shade. If the tiles differ in color, their difference is made more conspicuous than it really is. The tiles may be directly secured to the wall surface to construct a tiled wall or decorative boards with projections and recesses on their surfaces to resemble the tiles and their joints may be used to provide a similar decorative effect. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2008,JPO&INPIT

Description

  The present invention relates to a decorative tile wall that is typically used as an outer wall of a building to enhance its design.

  In order to improve the design of the outer wall of an apartment or other building, various decorative devices have been conventionally used. For example, a tiled outer wall has been proposed that creates a unique texture when viewed as a whole by changing the color of adjacent individual tiles.

  In order to construct such an outer wall, it is necessary to prepare a plurality of types of tiles having different shades and shades, which is not necessarily efficient in productivity.

Further, Patent Document 1 discloses a tile unit that is made of a ceramic material and can be visually perceived as if natural stones are pasted.
Each tile constituting this tile unit has (1) the front surface of the tile is non-planar, (2) the corner edge portion is formed by an irregular curve, and (3) the inclination angle on all four sides of the rectangular tile. Are different. And the thickness of each adjacent tile in a unit is varied.
As a result of the above configuration, the joint width between the tiles changes irregularly to the human eye, and it appears as if the joint is swaying.

  Patent Document 1 does not describe the manufacturing method of each tile, but the shape of each tile is very complicated.

  The technique of Patent Document 1 gives a visual effect regarding the width and shape of joints by making the shapes of adjacent tiles in the tile unit different, but it gives a change in hue for each tile. is not.

JP 2002-97774 A

  An object of the present invention is to provide a tile wall with a simple structure and a high decorative effect.

The present invention has been developed to effectively solve the above problems, and provides a tile unit having the following features.
The tile unit of the present invention has a plurality of tiles, and each tile has a pattern pattern constituted by uneven grooves on the surface thereof. Then, due to the difference in the pattern pattern of the tile, a change in visual hue is given.

  The "visual change in color" here is the same color, but it appears that there is a change in color or shade, or the change in color or shade appears more emphasized than it actually is. It means that.

  In the present invention, it is not necessary for all the tiles in the tile unit to have different pattern patterns. In other words, even if several tiles with the same pattern are included, if the tiles with several different pattern patterns are included as a whole, the visual tint is different due to the difference in the pattern patterns. Can change.

The present invention is characterized in that each tile in the tile unit has a pattern pattern composed of concave and convex grooves, and the pattern pattern for each tile is different.
The specific form is not limited to a specific one as long as it is a pattern pattern composed of uneven grooves. A straight line, a curved line, a meander line, a bent line, a non-regular pattern, or any other pattern can be adopted. However, if the pattern pattern of all tiles is constituted by a plurality of linear grooves extending in parallel at regular intervals, the configuration of each tile becomes simple, and it becomes possible to easily manufacture at low cost.

  In the present invention, it is also possible to configure the tile wall by directly fixing individual tiles to the wall surface without using a tile unit. By changing the pattern pattern, it is possible to change the visual color.

Furthermore, it is possible to make a decorative boat that gives the same decorative effect as described above by using cement or plaster.
That is, the decoration board has “partition recesses imitating joints between tiles” and “tile-like sections divided by the partition recesses” on the surface, and each tile-partition is provided with uneven grooves on the surface. It has a configured pattern. Due to the difference in the pattern pattern of the tile-like section, a change in visual hue can be given.

In the present invention, each tile (or tile-like section) is provided with a pattern pattern composed of concave and convex grooves on its surface. Since the pattern pattern is composed of uneven grooves, the light hitting it is reflected in a complicated manner. Since this pattern pattern is made different for each tile, the light reflection is also different, resulting in a change in hue. That is, even if each tile has the same color, it is perceived by the human eye as a change in shading or color.
Alternatively, if there is a difference in shade or color between each tile or tile-like section, the difference is emphasized more than it actually is.

Therefore, according to the present invention, even if different raw materials for creating tiles of different colors are not prepared, only one type of raw material is used, and a building exterior wall having a high design property with a difference in shade of each tile is configured. can do. Therefore, as a matter of course, a building exterior wall having a high design property can also be configured by a decorative board made of one kind of raw material (cement or plaster).
That is, it is possible to construct a building with high industrial productivity, high cost, and high design.

  Embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. FIG. 1 is a front view showing an example of a tile unit 10 of the present invention, and FIG. 2 is a partially enlarged perspective view thereof.

≪Overall configuration of tile unit≫
The tile unit 10 includes a plurality of tiles 11 arranged at regular intervals. Each tile is fixed on the substrate 20 using an adhesive or the like, and caulks the joints between the tiles as necessary.

The tile unit 10 has 28 tiles 11 arranged in a staggered pattern (the tiles present in the upper right corner in FIG. 1 are counted as 1/2). In the illustrated example, the tile unit 10 includes three types of tiles, which are distinguished as 11A, 11B, and 11C.
By sequentially fixing the tile unit 10 to the wall surface, a decorative tile wall can be configured.

≪Configuration of each tile≫
The tiles 11A, 11B, and 11C differ only in the pattern pattern provided on the surface, and all the tiles are made of the same raw material, and the colors thereof are also the same.
Note that even tiles made from the same raw material have variability in shading due to baking unevenness depending on the position in the furnace, but can be said to be substantially the same color.

  FIGS. 3A, 3B, and 3C are front views of the three types of tiles 11A, 11B, and 11C in FIGS. 1 and 2, respectively, and show pattern patterns attached to the surface. . FIG. 4 is a partially enlarged cross-sectional view taken along 4-4 in FIG.

  In the tile 11A of FIG. 3A, the pattern pattern is composed of a plurality of linear grooves 15 extending in parallel with the short sides 12 of the square tile. Each groove 11 has a width of 2 mm and a depth of 1 mm. The interval between the grooves is 2 mm.

  The tiles 11B and 11C shown in FIGS. 3B and 3C also have the same configuration of the grooves 15 constituting the pattern pattern as the tile 11A. However, the extending directions of the linear grooves are different, and in the tile 11B, the grooves extend in parallel in a direction of 45 ° obliquely downward from the left short side 12 of the square tile. In the tile 11 </ b> C, the grooves extend in parallel in the direction of 45 ° obliquely upward from the left short side 12 of the square tile.

≪Principle of change in hue≫
In the tile unit of the present invention, since the pattern pattern on the surface of each tile is constituted by concave and convex grooves, the light hitting it performs complex reflection. Since each tile has a different pattern, a subtle change in hue (change in color and shade) appears depending on how the light hits and the viewing angle.

  Therefore, even if the tiles are made of the same raw material and have the same color, they are perceived as having different hues by the human eye due to the difference in the pattern pattern of the tiles. In addition, when there is a difference in color between the tiles, the difference is emphasized more than in actuality.

  As a case where there is a difference in color between the tiles, there are cases where the raw materials are exactly the same, but uneven baking occurs depending on the position in the furnace, or intentionally different raw materials are used.

  That is, according to the present invention, it is possible to configure a highly designable wall surface with a change in hue without preparing different raw materials. In addition, when different raw materials are used, the design can be further enhanced by synergy with the above-described effect due to the difference in the uneven pattern.

≪How to make individual tiles≫
Next, an example of how to make individual tiles will be described.
As a raw material constituting the tile, 100 parts by weight of a ceramic material composed of 87% by weight of rhyolite (average particle size 200 μm) and 13% by weight of a mixed clay material (kaolin content 10% by weight) is used as a silicate-containing material.
This is put into a press mold having a length of 250 mm, a width of 60 mm, and a depth of 10 mm (inner dimensions) made of a refractory made of a mixture of cordierite and mullite.
Then, it presses with the press machine (upper mold | type) which has a processus | protrusion on the surface, and groove | channels the raw material in a metal mold | die. The shape of the protrusion is determined so that the groove formed on the surface of the raw material has a groove width of 2 mm, a groove depth of 1 mm, and an inter-groove pitch of 2 mm. The grooved raw material is taken out from the mold, placed in an electric furnace, heated to 1200 ° C. over 3 hours, and held at this temperature for 3 hours. Thereafter, when the glass is gradually cooled at an average speed of 55 ° C./Hr, a tile having grooves having a groove width of 2 mm, a groove depth of 1 mm, and a groove pitch of 2 mm is obtained.

  The above manufacturing method is the same for all the tiles 11A, 11B, and 11C. However, each tile has a different groove extending direction, so a different pressing machine (upper mold) is used for the groove, or the direction (posture) of the upper mold during pressing is different. .

  Further, the groove width, groove depth, and pitch between grooves are not limited to those described above, and appropriate values can be adopted. However, in order to cause subtle changes in shade or color depending on the degree of light reflection, values that are too large for each of the groove width, groove depth, and pitch between grooves are considered to be undesirable.

  For example, it is preferable to adopt values of about 0.5 to 10 mm for the groove width, 0.5 to 10 mm for the groove depth, and 0.5 to 10 mm for the pitch between grooves.

≪Modified pattern pattern composed of uneven grooves≫
The present invention is characterized in that the pattern pattern on the surface of the tile is constituted by uneven grooves, and that the color pattern is changed (or emphasized) by making the pattern pattern of each tile different. is there.
That is, the specific configuration of the pattern pattern itself is not limited to the illustrated one, and various patterns can be arbitrarily adopted. For example, the following can be illustrated (because all cannot be exhausted, it is merely an example).
(1) In a plurality of linear grooves arranged in parallel, the groove width, groove depth, and pitch between grooves change irregularly.
(2) Each of the grooves arranged in parallel is constituted by a regular or irregular meandering groove or a bent groove.
(3) Concentric circles, ellipses, or spirals.
(4) Uneven grooves with a completely irregular pattern.
(5) Combination of the above.

<< Embodiments other than tile unit >>
Although the embodiment of the tile unit has been described above, in the present invention, in addition to configuring the wall surface via the tile unit, the decorative tile wall can be configured by directly fixing individual tiles to the wall surface. Is also possible.
The configuration of individual tiles used in that case is the same as that used for the tile units already described. Also in this case, a visual color change can be given by making the pattern pattern of each tile different according to the same principle as described above.

≪Embodiment as a decoration board≫
In addition to the tile wall and tile unit, the embodiment of the decorative board will be described as providing the same decorative effect as described above. FIG. 5 is a front view showing an example of a decorative board.

The decorative board 30 is a single member molded from a raw material such as cement or gypsum, but has an uneven surface formed on the surface thereof, which is almost the same as the tile unit 10 shown in FIGS. Has the appearance.
In other words, the decorative board 30 is similar to the tile wall or tile unit described above, and the partition recesses 32 correspond to joints between the tiles, and each tile-like partition 31A, 31B, 31C partitioned by the partition recesses 32 is provided. Corresponds to the tiles 11A, 11B, and 11C.

The decorative board 30 is made as follows.
(1) Pour raw materials such as cement and plaster into a board-shaped formwork.
(2) Before the poured raw material is completely hardened, a template is pressed against the surface to form a solid having “compartment recesses 32” and “tile-like compartments 31A, 31B, 31C”.
(3) If necessary, print or design spray is further applied to the solid surface.
Even if it is innocent, it can give a change in visual hue due to the difference in the pattern, but when printed or design sprayed, there is a difference in shade and color in each tiled section itself. The decorativeness can be further enhanced by a synergistic effect.

  Each tile-like section 31A, 31B, 31C has a pattern pattern composed of concave and convex grooves on its surface. The tile-like sections 31A, 31B, and 31C respectively correspond to the tiles 11A, 11B, and 11C in the tile unit of FIG. 1, and the pattern patterns formed on the surfaces thereof are the same as those already described. .

Therefore, the decorative effect obtained by the decorative board 30 is the same as that of the tile wall or tile unit already described, and the dimensions and modifications of the concave and convex grooves constituting the pattern can be considered in exactly the same way. .
Further, the geometric configuration of the partition recess 32 and the arrangement of the tile-like sections 31A, 31B, and 31C are not limited to those shown in the drawing, and can be appropriately changed.

≪Others≫
The tile unit, tile, and decorative board of the present invention are typically used for an outer wall of a building, but can be used for other purposes. For example, it can also be used for interior decoration when arranging around the stove of the kitchen in a brick style.
