Description

The present invention relates to tiles in which tiles arranged adjacent to each other mesh with each other to eliminate the need for joint formation.

For example, when tiles are installed on a wall surface or the like, joints are generally formed between tiles arranged adjacent to each other. However, this joint forming work requires skill and is complicated and costly. In addition, dirt such as mold easily adheres to the joints, and maintenance is complicated.

As a solution to such a problem, for example, a tapered tile having four sides formed on an inclined surface has been proposed (Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 6-191969). This tile eliminates the need for joint formation by making the tapered portion look like a joint.

However, since this tapered tile has no joints, it may peel off more easily than a general tile and may fall due to changes over time after construction.

In the present invention, the convex portion 2 and / and the concave portion 3 are provided on the side portion, and the convex portion 2 and / and the concave portion 3 are the concave portion 3 and / and the concave portion 2 provided on the side portion of the tiles arranged adjacent to each other. Since it is configured to mesh with, the joint forming work that requires skill is not required, the construction can be performed easily and inexpensively, and it is not necessary to clean the joints where dirt is easily noticeable. We have realized tile 1 that can prevent tiles from peeling off and falling.

The tile of the present invention will be described with reference to one embodiment shown in FIGS. 1 to 4.
The tile 1 of this embodiment has a convex portion 2 and a concave portion 3 on the side portion, and the convex portion and the concave portion 3 mesh with the concave portion 3 and the convex portion 2 provided on the side portion of the tiles arranged adjacent to each other. It is configured to do. Hereinafter, each configuration will be described in detail in order.

As shown in FIG. 1, the tile 1 of this embodiment is formed in a rectangular shape in a plan view (in this embodiment, a square), and has convex portions 2 on two sides of the upper side and the right side in FIG. It has recesses 3 on both the lower side and the left side.

Specifically, as shown in FIG. 2 or 3, the tile 1 of this embodiment has a step h (two-step structure) in the thickness direction of the tile 1, and the step h causes the tile 1 to be formed. On the side portion (two sides of the upper side and the right side), a convex portion (convex portion) 2 formed by the lower stage of the two-stage structure is provided. On the other hand, on the side portion (two sides of the lower side and the left side) of the tile 1, a recess (recessed portion) 3 formed in the lower space of the upper stage of the two-stage structure is provided.

When two tiles 1 are arranged adjacent to each other on the left and right sides as shown in FIG. 4, the convex portion (convex portion) 2 provided on the right side of the tile 1 arranged on the left side and the convex portion (convex portion) 2 arranged on the right side in the drawing are arranged on the right side. The recesses (recessed portions) 3 provided on the left side of the tile 1 are configured to mesh with each other. More specifically, the convex portion (convex portion) 2 provided on the right side of the tile 1 arranged on the left side is inside the concave portion (concave portion) 3 provided on the left side of the tile 1 arranged on the right side. It is configured to invade and engage with.

As described above, in the present invention, by arranging the tiles 1 above and below the tile 1 and on the left and right sides of the tile 1 adjacent to each other, the convex portion 2 and the concave portion 3 provided on the side portion mesh with each other to form one type. The tile upholstery surface can be formed by the tile 1 of the form. For this reason, joints are not formed between the tiles, the joint forming work that requires skill is not required, the construction can be performed easily and inexpensively, and dirt, mold, etc. do not adhere to the joints formed on the mortar or the like. In addition to the need for joint cleaning, the tiles 1 arranged adjacent to each other are meshed with each other at the convex portion 2 and the concave portion 3, so that the tiles after construction are further suppressed from peeling off and falling.

The tile 1 of this embodiment is formed in a rectangular shape in a plan view, a convex portion 2 is provided on one side (upper side in FIG. 1) of the opposite side, and a concave portion 3 is provided on the other side (lower side in FIG. 1). A convex portion 2 is provided on one side (right side in FIG. 1) and a concave portion 3 is provided on the other side (left side in FIG. 1). However, the tile of the present invention is not limited to this, for example, the tile is formed into a rectangular shape in a plan view, convex portions are provided on the two opposite sides, and concave portions are provided on the other two opposite sides. The tiles are also included in the scope of the present invention.

It is preferable that the tile of the present invention has a second concave portion that meshes with the second convex portion provided on the tile arranged adjacently to the convex portion due to the step. Specifically, in the tile 1 of this embodiment, the side portion (two sides of the upper side and the right side) of the tile 1 has a convex portion (convex portion) 2 formed of the lower stage of the two-stage structure as a side. Each has a second recess 4 near the center, while the side portion (two sides of the lower side and the left side) of the tile 1 is a recess (concave portion) 3 formed in the lower space of the upper stage of the two-stage structure. However, each has a second convex portion 5 near the center of the side.

When the tiles 1 are arranged adjacent to each other, as shown in FIG. 4, the second recess 4 provided on the right side of the tile 1 arranged on the left side and the left side of the tile 1 arranged on the right side in the drawing are formed. The second convex portion 5 provided is configured to mesh with each other. More specifically, the second convex portion 5 provided on the left side of the tile 1 arranged on the right side invades into the second concave portion 4 provided on the right side of the tile 1 arranged on the left side. It is configured to mesh. As a result, tiles that do not fall after construction are constructed.

The tile of the present invention is produced through a raw material blending process, a molding process, and a firing process like a general tile, but by using fine ceramic technology, it has a complicated shape and is lightweight. The tiles are formed. Specifically, for example, the tile 1 of this example uses a semi-wet raw material having a large amount of water and added oil in the raw material mixing step, and is manufactured by press molding in units of one in the molding step. .. Further, in the tile of the present invention, the tiles arranged adjacent to each other are meshed with each other by the concave portion or the convex portion provided on the side portion, and the tiles are attached to the base material using an adhesive material without forming joints. , Tile construction (formation of tiled surface) can be easily performed.
