Description

  The present invention relates to a method for constructing regular hexagonal or rhombus floor tiles.

Conventionally, the shape of a floor tile is generally a square in plan view. Hereinafter, in the present specification, a floor tile having a square shape in plan view may be abbreviated as a “square floor tile”.
As construction methods for laying a plurality of square floor tiles at indoor construction sites such as offices and commercial facilities, the following two methods are performed.
The first construction method is the first square floor tile by applying two sides of the square floor tile to one corner of the construction place (the part where the two wall surfaces of the construction place intersect substantially orthogonally). Based on this first square floor tile, the second and subsequent square floor tiles are abutted against the edge of the first square floor tile. Floor tiles are arranged on the two wall surfaces facing the two wall surfaces. If this is continued, a remaining area (a part of the floor surface) having a size in which one square floor tile cannot be laid is generated in the vicinity of the two wall surfaces facing the two wall surfaces. Since a square floor tile cannot be laid as it is in the remaining area, the square floor tile must be cut so as to conform to the shape of the remaining area. In particular, when floor tiles are laid in a room, it is desirable to cut and lay the floor tiles so that gaps do not occur as much as possible because the gaps near the wall surfaces are conspicuous.

  At the time of cutting, on the square floor tile that has been laid in a direction substantially orthogonal to the wall surface corresponding to the remaining area, it is overlaid so that all sides of the square floor tile to be cut coincide, Place a separate square floor tile on the square floor tile to be cut, place one side of this separate square floor tile against the wall surface corresponding to the remaining area, and use a cutter along the opposite side of the separate square floor tile. Move to cut the square floor tile to be cut. Then, the floor tile piece obtained by cutting is slid to the remaining area and fitted into the remaining area, thereby completing the construction of the floor tile. By constructing in this way, the shape of the floor tile piece can be matched to the size of the remaining area, the gap near the wall surface can be minimized, and the aesthetics of the floor surface can be enhanced.

In the above construction method, square floor tiles are neatly arranged along one wall surface of the construction site, but non-square floor tile pieces are lined up on the wall surface opposite to this wall surface. The appearance of the floor is not good.
In order to lay the floor tiles symmetrically, as a second construction method, first measure the vertical and horizontal length of the floor surface of the construction site so that the floor tiles after construction is substantially symmetrical on the opposite wall surface In addition, two reference lines extending in the vertical and horizontal directions are drawn in a cross shape in the center of the floor of the construction site. Then, the first square floor tile is laid in the center of the floor by placing the two sides of the square floor tile on the cross-shaped reference line, and then the second and subsequent square floor tiles are arranged on the wall surface side. Then, as in the first construction method, the remaining areas where one square floor tile cannot be laid are generated in the vicinity of the four wall surfaces. The procedure for fitting the floor tile piece to the remaining area is the same as the first construction method.

By the way, the shape of a general floor tile is a square in a plan view as described above. For example, as described in Patent Document 1, a regular hexagon in a plan view is mainly used in a park, a community square, or the like. Concrete tiles are known. It can be considered that such a regular hexagonal tile in plan view is laid in an indoor construction place such as an office or a commercial facility.
When laying concrete hexagonal concrete tiles in a plan view outside a park or community plaza, the main method is to lay them wide and then crush them to align the edges, or leave the edges as they are. It has been. However, when laying indoors, it cannot be laid wider than the wall surface, and if the end face is laid as it is, the aesthetics are impaired, and it is difficult to adopt such a method. Further, as described above, when floor tiles are laid in a room, it is desirable to lay them so that gaps do not occur as much as possible because the gaps in the vicinity of the wall surface are unsightly.
In addition, a regular hexagonal floor tile in plan view (hereinafter, the regular hexagonal floor tile in plan view may be abbreviated as “regular hexagonal floor tile” in the present specification) is the length of one side (end side) thereof. Since this is shorter than the diagonal line, a separate regular hexagonal floor tile is placed on the symmetrical hexagonal floor tile as in the case of cutting the floor tile in the first construction method, and this separate regular hexagonal floor is placed. Even if one side of the tile is applied to the wall surface and the cutter is moved along the opposite side of a separate regular hexagonal floor tile, the cut by the cutter can be formed only in a part of the plane of the square floor tile to be cut.

For this reason, with respect to regular hexagonal floor tiles, it is not possible to divert the method used for the above conventional square floor tiles, in which a separate regular hexagonal floor tile is used to cut a cut-symmetric regular hexagonal floor tile. .
Therefore, when laying a regular hexagonal floor tile, a construction method is required that can easily cut the regular hexagonal floor tile so as to conform to the shape of the remaining region.
This point is common not only to regular hexagonal floor tiles but also to rhombus floor tiles in plan view. Hereinafter, in this specification, a floor tile having a rhombus in plan view may be abbreviated as a “rhombus floor tile”.

[Overview of floor tiles]
The floor tile used in the construction method of the present invention is a regular hexagon or rhombus in plan view (not square). The plan view shape means a shape of an outer shape when the floor tile is placed on a flat surface and the floor tile is viewed from the normal direction of the surface of the floor tile.
This column explains matters that apply to floor tiles of any plan view shape. Therefore, in this column, floor tiles such as regular hexagons in plan view used in the construction method of the present invention are collectively referred to as floor tiles.

In the present invention, the floor tile can be cut with a cutter used for cutting the floor tile.
The term “cuttable” means that the floor tile can be completely cut with a cutter, and the floor tile can be cut according to the cut by forming the cut with the cutter and then curving the floor tile. .

  The cutter is a tool having a sharp blade portion. Specifically, the cutter can, for example, completely cut the floor tile by holding the cutter by hand and moving its blade portion against the surface of the floor tile, or the cross-section of the cutter is approximately V on the surface of the floor tile. It is a tool that can form letter-shaped cuts. Examples of the cutter include a plastic cutter and a rotary cutter manufactured by Olfa Corporation. Of course, the cutter used in the construction method of the present invention is not limited to this.

The material and layer structure of the floor tile are not particularly limited.
Examples of the floor tile include a resin floor tile made of a synthetic resin such as vinyl chloride resin and polyolefin, a rubber floor tile made of a rubber material, and a linoleum floor tile made of linoleum. If necessary, these floor tiles may be composed of a fiber layer with fibers or short piles planted on its surface, an uneven layer with an embossed surface on it, a design decoration layer, an acrylic resin coating agent, etc. You may have a coating layer, the backing layer which consists of rubber | gum, etc., the fiber reinforcement layer for dimensional stability, etc.

  For example, the floor tile material and layer composition include vinyl floor tiles manufactured by Toli Co., Ltd. (trade names “Machico V”, “Refripe”, “MS plane”, etc.), and rubber tiles (trade name “Plato”). Etc.), canvas laminated vinyl floor sheets (trade names “Floor Lume”, “SF floor”, “CF sheet”, etc.), etc.), multi-purpose vinyl floor tiles (trade name “Shiga Hard”, etc.) The material and layer structure etc. currently mentioned are mentioned.

  The thickness of the floor tile is not particularly limited as long as the floor tile can be cut with a cutter. Relatively soft floor tiles can be cut with a cutter even if they are relatively thick. Generally, the thickness of the floor tile is about 1 mm to 10 mm.

[Construction method of regular hexagonal floor tile]
The regular hexagonal floor tile construction method of the present invention is applied when laying a regular hexagonal floor tile in plan view.
A regular hexagon is a hexagon in which all six sides have the same length and six interior angles are 120 degrees.

The size of the regular hexagonal floor tile is not particularly limited and can be appropriately designed. However, if the length of one side of the regular hexagonal floor tile is too short (that is, the area of the regular hexagonal floor tile is small), many regular hexagonal floor tiles must be laid in one construction site. On the other hand, if the length of one side of the regular hexagonal floor tile is too long (that is, the area of the regular hexagonal floor tile is large), the weight increases relatively, and there is a possibility of breaking during transportation. , Handling becomes worse.
From this point, the length of one side of the regular hexagonal floor tile is 80 mm to 400 mm, preferably 100 mm to 300 mm.
Regular hexagonal floor tiles can be constructed on the floor of the construction site according to the following process.

<Initial positioning process>
First, the first regular hexagonal floor tile is laid on the floor of the construction site.
The first regular hexagonal floor tile as a reference may be laid with one side of the tile facing one wall surface of the construction site. In this case, a plurality of regular hexagonal floor tiles are sequentially laid from one wall surface of the construction site to the other wall surface side, but with this method, the regular hexagonal floor tiles after construction is not symmetrical.
Therefore, it is preferable to lay the first regular hexagonal floor tile at the center of the floor of the construction site in order to make the regular hexagonal floor tile laid substantially symmetrically on the floor after completion of construction.

FIG. 1 is a plan view after completion of construction in which regular hexagonal floor tiles 8 are laid approximately symmetrically. In the example of FIG. 1, one side of the regular hexagonal floor tile 8 is substantially parallel to the vertical direction (vertical direction in the drawing), and one apex angle of the regular hexagonal floor tile 8 is in the horizontal direction (in the drawing, In this example, regular hexagonal floor tiles 8 are laid so as to be aligned in the left-right direction). The same applies even if each regular hexagonal floor tile 8 is laid such that one side of the regular hexagonal floor tile 8 is substantially parallel to the horizontal direction and one apex angle of the regular hexagonal floor tile 8 is aligned in the vertical direction. (It is only a difference in the aspect of the floor of the construction site).
Thus, it is preferable to lay the regular hexagonal floor tile 8 so that the floor tiles along the pair of opposing wall surfaces W1 to W4 are substantially symmetrical.

In this way, the first regular hexagonal floor tile 8 is laid in the center of the floor of the construction site to be constructed. In order to position the first regular hexagonal floor tile, the center of the floor of the construction site in advance. It is preferable to draw reference lines 71 and 72 in the vertical and horizontal directions. In all the drawings, the reference line is indicated by a one-dot chain line for convenience.
By drawing these two reference lines 71 and 72, the floor surface F is divided into four regions via the reference lines 71 and 72. Adhesive is applied on the floor surface F of one of the divided areas. Note that the adhesive may be applied to the one partitioned region at a time, or the adhesive may be applied only to a range where one or more regular hexagonal floor tiles 8 are laid. When the adhesive is applied only to the area where the regular hexagonal floor tile 8 is laid, after the adhesive is appropriately applied, the regular hexagonal floor tile 8 is laid on the adhesive application portion, and this operation is repeated.

  Also, when applying the adhesive, as will be described later, in the vicinity of the wall surface, a single regular hexagonal floor tile 8 cannot be laid, or between the reference lines 71 and 72 and the laid regular hexagonal floor tile 8. Since there are areas where one regular hexagonal floor tile 8 cannot be laid, it is preferable to apply an adhesive except for these areas. When applying the adhesive except for these areas, in order to determine the application range of the adhesive, first, floor tiles are temporarily laid on the floor surface F to which the adhesive is not applied, and along the floor tiles that have been temporarily laid. It is preferable to draw a mark line on the floor surface F, remove the temporarily laid floor tile, and then apply an adhesive to the area inside the mark line.

  Next, as shown in FIG. 2, the first sheet is such that one side of the first regular hexagonal floor tile 81 is aligned with the vertical reference line 71 and the apex thereof is placed on the horizontal reference line 72. Regular hexagonal floor tiles 8 are laid in the partition area.

<Laying the second and subsequent floor tiles>
Then, as shown in FIG. 3, the end of the second regular hexagonal floor tile 82 is butted against the end of the first regular hexagonal floor tile 81, and the second regular hexagonal floor tile 82 is laid. .
Similarly, the third regular hexagonal floor tile 83 is laid against the end face of the second regular hexagonal floor tile 82. Further, the fourth regular hexagonal floor tile 84 is laid on the edge of the first regular hexagonal floor tile 81 and the edge of the second regular hexagonal floor tile 82 simultaneously. The order of placing the second to fourth regular hexagonal floor tiles 82 to 84 is not limited to the above example, and can be changed as appropriate.
Thereafter, a plurality of regular hexagonal floor tiles 8 are arranged with vertical wall surfaces W1 (wall surfaces extending in the vertical direction in plan view) and horizontal wall surfaces W2 (horizontal in the plan view) so as to fill the jigsaw puzzle pieces. Lay out sequentially toward the wall surface extending in the direction.

In the regular hexagonal floor tile 8, an area in which one regular hexagonal floor tile 8 cannot be laid as it is is generated in a part of the floor surface F in the vicinity of the wall surfaces W1, W2 (this area is referred to as a remaining area in this specification). .
For example, as shown in FIG. 4, between the vertical wall surface W1 and the end of the laid regular hexagonal floor tile 8, and between the horizontal wall surface W2 and the laid regular hexagonal floor tile 8. In addition, a remaining region that is not a regular hexagon remains.

<Cutting process>
In order to lay a floor tile in the remaining area, the regular hexagonal floor tile 8 is cut so as to match the shape of the remaining area in plan view.
In the present invention, in order to cut the regular hexagonal floor tile 8, a characteristic cutting ruler is used. Hereinafter, the ruler used for cutting the regular hexagonal floor tile 8 is referred to as a “first cutting ruler”.
As shown in FIG. 5, the first cutting ruler 1 has an outer shape corresponding to four sides of a rectangular in plan view, and the length of one side 1a (short side) of the outer shape of the first cutting ruler 1 is , “A × 3 ^1/2 × N1”, and the length of the other side 1b (long side) is “A × 3 × N1”.
However, A represents the length of one side of a regular hexagonal floor tile, and N1 represents an integer of 1 or more. Preferably, N1 is 1.
In this specification, for convenience, one side is a short side, but one side may be a long side. In other words, in the present invention, one side of the cutting ruler refers to any one of the four sides that form the outer shape of the ruler, and the other side of the cutting ruler refers to one side that is arbitrarily selected. The side of the direction orthogonal to is pointed out.

  For example, for a regular hexagonal floor tile 8 with one side length of 130 mm, a rectangle with one side length of about 225 mm (130 mm × √3) and the other side length of 390 mm (130 mm × 3). A first cutting ruler having the following shape is used.

  In FIG. 5, the first cutting ruler 1 is made of a rectangular plate member, but is not limited thereto. The cutting ruler of the present invention only needs to have an outer shape corresponding to four sides of a rectangular shape. For example, the cutting ruler may be formed of a frame member in which elongated members are assembled into a rectangular shape such as a frame. Good.

The first cutting ruler 1 is preferably formed from a material having relatively high rigidity. This is because if the first cutting ruler 1 is too soft, it is difficult to move the cutter along it.
The material of the first cutting ruler 1 is not particularly limited, and examples thereof include hard synthetic resin; wood; metal such as stainless steel and iron; Further, the first cutting ruler 1 may have the same material and layer structure as the floor tile.

Furthermore, it is preferable that the first cutting ruler 1 has translucency so that an object in contact with the back surface side from the front surface can be seen through. With the first cutting ruler 1 having such translucency, the regular hexagonal floor tile 85 to be cut can be visually recognized from the surface of the first cutting ruler 1, and the misalignment of the regular hexagonal floor tile 85 to be cut can be detected. I can confirm.
The first cutting ruler 1 having translucency can be formed of a molded product of colorless transparent or colored transparent synthetic resin.

Furthermore, as shown in FIG. 6A, the first cutting ruler 1 may be displayed with a regular hexagonal line 73 having the same shape and the same size as the regular hexagonal floor tile 8. In addition, in the example shown in FIG. 6A, in addition to the two regular hexagonal lines 73 and 73 being partially overlapped, an auxiliary line 74 indicating the diagonal line is displayed with a broken line. Thus, if the regular hexagonal line 73 is displayed, it is possible to easily determine in which direction the first cutting ruler 1 should be applied to the wall surface when the regular hexagonal floor tile 8 is cut. By using the first cutting ruler 1 having translucency and displaying the regular hexagonal line 73, the first cutting ruler 1 can be used promptly without using it in the wrong direction during construction. It is possible to obtain the effect of improving the work efficiency of construction work.
Further, if the range enclosed by the regular hexagonal line 73 is colored, it becomes easier to visually distinguish. For example, as shown in FIG. 6, when two regular hexagonal lines 73 and 73 are displayed so as to partially overlap, if the range enclosed by any one of the regular hexagonal lines 73 is colored, It becomes easy to distinguish the shape of the square becomes clear. When the portion other than the regular hexagon line 73 is colored, the same visual effect is obtained by coloring the regular hexagon line 73 and the other portion in different colors. be able to.

  Moreover, as shown in FIG.6 (b), you may provide the handle part 18 in the ruler 1 for 1st cutting | disconnection. Alternatively, as shown in the figure, the first cutting ruler 1 may be formed with an opening 19 for gripping by hand. Thus, when the handle part 18 and / or the opening part 19 are provided in the first cutting ruler 1, the first cutting ruler 1 can be easily slid and lifted during construction, and the handling is easy. Since it is excellent, it is preferable.

Next, a procedure for cutting the regular hexagonal floor tile 8 using the first cutting ruler 1 so as to conform to the plan view shape of the remaining region will be described.
FIG. 7 shows a procedure for cutting the regular hexagonal floor tile 8 so as to conform to the shape of the remaining area of the floor surface F existing in the vicinity of the vertical and horizontal wall surfaces W1, W2.
First, a procedure for cutting the regular hexagonal floor tile 8 in the remaining area R1 of the floor surface existing in the vicinity of the vertical wall surface W1 will be described.
First, a regular hexagonal floor to be cut is placed on a regular hexagonal floor tile 8 laid in a direction substantially orthogonal to a vertical wall surface portion (a part of the vertical wall surface W1) corresponding to the remaining region R1. The tile 85 is placed on top of each other.
There are a plurality of laid regular hexagonal floor tiles 8 in a direction substantially orthogonal to the wall surface portion, and the laid regular hexagonal floor tile 8 closest to the wall surface portion is selected. Even when the shape of the vertical wall surface W1 is inclined with respect to the reference line 71, the hexagonal floor tile 85 to be cut is selected by selecting the nearest laid regular hexagonal floor tile 8. This is because can be cut into a shape close to the remaining region R1.
In FIG. 7, a regular hexagonal floor tile to be cut, which is represented by shading, is placed on a laid regular hexagonal floor tile represented by light ink painting.

The regular hexagonal floor tiles 85 to be cut are preferably stacked so that all sides thereof coincide with all sides of the regular hexagonal floor tiles 8 that have been laid.
Next, the first cutting ruler 1 is placed on the regular hexagonal floor tile 85 to be cut. At this time, the other side 1b (long side) of the first cutting ruler 1 is applied to the vertical wall surface corresponding to the remaining region R1. That is, when one side of the regular hexagonal floor tile 8 is laid substantially parallel to the vertical wall surface W1, the long side of the first cutting ruler 1 is applied to the vertical wall surface portion.
In addition, if it is the 1st cutting ruler 1 in which the regular hexagonal line 73 shown in FIG. 6 (a) is displayed, if the direction of the regular hexagonal line 73 and the laid regular hexagonal floor tile 8 is matched, the first Since the long side of the cutting ruler 1 faces the vertical wall surface, it is possible to easily determine in which direction the first cutting ruler 1 should be applied.

Then, the cutter is moved along the opposite side of the other side 1b applied to the wall surface part (the other long side facing the long side applied to the wall surface part), and the regular hexagonal floor tile 85 to be cut is cut. Get a piece.
In addition, when the regular hexagonal floor tile 85 to be cut cannot be completely cut by the cutter, the regular hexagonal floor tile 8 is divided according to the cut by the cutter by curving it.

Further, when the regular hexagonal floor tile 8 is cut so as to conform to the shape of the remaining area R2 of the floor surface existing in the vicinity of the lateral wall surface W2, it is as follows.
As shown in FIG. 7, on the regular hexagonal floor tile 8 that is laid in a direction substantially orthogonal to the lateral wall surface portion (a part of the lateral wall surface W2) corresponding to the remaining region R2, the object to be cut The regular hexagonal floor tiles 85 are stacked.
There are a plurality of laid regular hexagonal floor tiles 8 in a direction substantially orthogonal to the wall surface portion, and the laid regular hexagonal floor tile 8 closest to the wall surface portion is selected. As in the construction on the vertical wall W1, the nearest regular hexagonal floor tile 8 is selected even when the shape of the horizontal wall W2 is inclined with respect to the reference line 72. This is because the hexagonal floor tile 85 to be cut can be cut into a shape close to the remaining region R2.

The regular hexagonal floor tile 85 to be cut is preferably placed so that all the sides thereof coincide with all the sides of the regular hexagonal floor tile 8 that has been laid.
The first cutting ruler 1 is placed on the regular hexagonal floor tile 85 to be cut. At this time, one side 1a (short side) of the first cutting ruler 1 is applied to the lateral wall portion corresponding to the remaining region R2. That is, when one side of the regular hexagonal floor tile 8 is laid substantially parallel to the vertical wall surface W1, the short side of the first cutting ruler 1 is applied to the horizontal wall surface portion.
Then, the cutter is moved along the opposite side of one side 1a applied to the wall surface part (the other short side facing the short side applied to the wall surface part), and the regular hexagonal floor tile 85 to be cut is cut. Get.

<Fitting process>
A floor tile piece having a shape that matches the shape of each remaining area obtained by the cutting step is fitted into the remaining areas R1 and R2. The arrows in FIG. 7 represent placing the floor tile pieces in the remaining area.
When the adhesive is not applied to the remaining regions R1 and R2, the floor tile piece is fitted after the adhesive is applied. Moreover, after performing a cutting process collectively with respect to several remaining area | regions by a judgment of a builder, you may perform a fitting process collectively, and a cutting process and a fitting process are carried out about every remaining area. You may repeat it each time.

After the fact, floor tiles can be spread on the floor surface of one partition region by repeating the cutting step and the fitting step in the same manner. Furthermore, also about other division area, a floor tile can be laid in the whole floor surface of a construction place by laying the regular hexagonal floor tile 8 similarly to the above.
If the first cutting ruler of the above dimensions is used, if one side of this ruler is applied to the wall surface and a regular hexagonal floor tile is cut at the opposite side, a floor tile piece that conforms to the shape of the remaining region is obtained. Can do. Therefore, according to the construction method of the first floor tile of the present invention, a floor tile piece to be fitted into the remaining region can be easily obtained, and a regular hexagonal floor tile can be constructed on the floor surface easily and without mistakes. . Furthermore, since floor tiles can be accurately cut during construction, waste due to cutting mistakes can be minimized, which is advantageous in terms of economy and environmental friendliness.

[How to install rhombus floor tiles]
Next, a method for constructing the rhombus floor tile will be described. However, in the description of the method for constructing the rhombus floor tile, the description of the same points as the method for constructing the regular hexagonal floor tile may be omitted.

The rhombus floor tile construction method of the present invention is applied when laying a rhombus floor tile in plan view.
A rhombus is a parallelogram in which two diagonals are orthogonal and the lengths of the two diagonals are different. The rhombus floor tiles used preferably have two opposite interior angles of 60 degrees (and thus the remaining two interior angles are 120 degrees).
The magnitude | size of a rhombus floor tile is not specifically limited, It can design suitably. However, if the length of one side of the rhombus floor tile is too short, a lot of rhombus floor tiles must be laid in one construction site, and the construction becomes complicated. On the other hand, the length of one side of the rhombus floor tile If the length is too long, the weight is relatively increased, and there is a possibility of breaking during transportation.
From this point, the length of one side of the rhombus floor tile is 80 mm to 400 mm, and preferably 100 mm to 300 mm.

In the construction method of the rhombus floor tile, a characteristic cutting ruler is used to cut the rhombus floor tile.
As shown in FIGS. 8 and 9, the cutting rulers 2 and 3 have an outer shape corresponding to four sides of the rectangular shape in plan view, and the length of one side of the cutting ruler is “N2 × B ”And the length of the other side is“ N3 × C / 2 ”.
Where B represents the length of the shorter diagonal of the rhombus floor tile to be constructed, C represents the length of the longer diagonal of the rhombus floor tile, and N2 and N3 are independent of each other. Represents an integer of 1 or more. Preferably, the N2 is 1, and the N3 is 1 or 2.

In the construction method of the rhombus floor tile, since there are a plurality of laying patterns of the rhombus floor tile, a plurality of cutting rulers are selected and used according to the laying pattern.
The plurality of cutting rulers are appropriately selected from those satisfying the relationship that the length of one side is N2 × B and the length of the other side is N3 × C / 2 as described above. A cutting ruler having a side length B and the other side length C / 2 and a cutting ruler having a side length B and the other side length C are used.
Hereinafter, of the two preferable types of cutting rulers, the former is referred to as “second cutting ruler” and the latter is referred to as “third cutting ruler”.

FIG. 8 shows the second cutting ruler 2, in which the length of one side 2a is B and the length of the other side 2b is C / 2 (the cutting ruler in which N2 and N3 are 1).
FIG. 9 shows a third cutting ruler 3 whose one side length 3a is B and the other side 3b is C (the cutting ruler in which N2 is 1 and N3 is 2). ).

  For example, for a rhombus floor tile having a side length of 260 mm and opposing interior angles of 60 degrees, the length of one side 2a is 260 mm (260 mm × 1) and the length of the other side 2b is A second cutting ruler 2 having a rectangular outer shape of 225 mm (260 mm × √3 × 1/2) is used, or the length 3a of one side is 260 mm (260 mm × 1) and the length of the other side 3b A third cutting ruler 3 having a rectangular outer shape with a length of 450 mm (260 mm × √3 × 1) is used.

  Similarly to the cutting ruler 1 used for the regular hexagonal floor tile, the cutting rulers 2 and 3 used for the rhombus floor tile may be formed of a frame member or the like. Moreover, the material of the cutting rulers 2 and 3 used for the rhombus floor tile is not particularly limited. It is preferable that the cutting rulers 2 and 3 used for the rhombus floor tile also have translucency.

Furthermore, the cutting ruler used for the rhombus floor tile may display a rhombus line (auxiliary line if necessary) having the same shape and size as the rhombus floor tile.
FIG. 8A shows an example of a rhombus line 76 displayed as a solid line and an auxiliary line 77 displayed as a broken line on the second cutting ruler 2, and FIG. 9A shows a third cutting line. An example of a rhombus line 78 displayed as a solid line and an auxiliary line 79 displayed as a broken line is shown on the ruler 3.
The second cutting ruler 2 has the same area as the rhombus floor tile, but is made of a rectangular plate. Therefore, the rhombus line 76 displayed on the ruler 2 is similar to the rhombus floor tile. By using the cutting rulers 2 and 3 on which the rhombus lines 76 and 78 are displayed in this way, it is easy to determine in which direction the cutting rulers 2 and 3 should be applied when the rhombus floor tile is cut. it can. Further, if the area surrounded by the rhombus lines 76 and 78 and / or the auxiliary lines 77 and 79 is colored, it becomes easier to visually distinguish.

  In addition, the cutting rulers 2 and 3 used for the rhombus floor tiles may be formed with a handle and an opening as in the cutting ruler used for the regular hexagonal floor tiles.

Next, although the construction method of a rhombus floor tile is demonstrated, a rhombus floor tile can be laid on a floor surface by changing the direction of each floor tile from the shape.
Hereinafter, four laying patterns are exemplified. But the construction method of the rhombus floor tile of this invention is not necessarily limited to these four laying patterns.

(First laying pattern)
In the first laying pattern, all the rhombus floor tiles 9 are laid so that the diagonal lines of the rhombus floor tiles 9 are substantially parallel to the wall surfaces W1, W2 of the construction site.
In the following, each process will be described separately.

<Initial positioning process>
As shown in FIG. 10, a first rhombus floor tile 91 serving as a reference is laid on the floor F of the construction site.
Similar to the method for constructing regular hexagonal floor tiles, a plurality of rhombus floor tiles 9 may be sequentially laid from one wall surface W1 to another wall surface side at the construction site.
In this example, in order to make the rhombus floor tile 9 laid substantially symmetrically on the floor surface after the completion of construction, two reference lines 71 and 72 are drawn on the floor surface F as shown in FIG. The opposite rhombus floor tile 91 is placed on the vertical reference lines 71 and 72, and the other opposite vertex is placed on the horizontal reference lines 71 and 72, and the first rhombus floor is placed. A tile 9 is laid in the area.

<Laying the second and subsequent floor tiles>
Then, the second and subsequent rhombus floor tiles 9 are abutted against the ends of the rhombus floor tiles 9 that have been laid, and are sequentially laid.
In the vicinity of the wall surface, there is a remaining area where a single rhombus floor tile 9 cannot be laid on a portion of the floor surface.
For example, in FIG. 10, there is a remaining area where the rhombus floor tile 9 cannot be fitted as it is between the two wall surfaces W1 and W2 and the edge of the laid rhombus floor tile 9 in one partition area. Yes.

<Cutting process>
In order to lay a floor tile in the remaining area, the rhombus floor tile 9 is cut so as to conform to the plan view shape of the remaining area.
In the first laying pattern, the third cutting ruler 3 is used.
FIG. 11 shows a case where the rhombus floor tile 9 is cut so as to conform to the shapes of the remaining regions R3 and R4 of the floor surface F existing in the vicinity of the vertical and horizontal wall surfaces W1 and W2.
First, a method of cutting the rhombus floor tile 9 so as to conform to the shape of the remaining region R3 existing on the vertical wall surface W1 will be described.
First, the rhombus floor tile 92 to be cut is placed on the laid rhombus floor tile 9 that exists in a direction substantially orthogonal to the vertical wall surface corresponding to the remaining region R3.
In addition, although there are a plurality of laid rhombus floor tiles 9 in a direction substantially orthogonal to the wall surface portion, the laid rhombus floor closest to the wall surface portion is the same as the construction of the regular hexagonal floor tile. Tile 9 is selected.

The rhombus floor tiles 92 to be cut are preferably stacked so that all the sides thereof coincide with all the sides of the laid rhombus floor tiles 9.
Next, the third cutting ruler 3 is placed on the rhombus floor tile 92 to be cut. At this time, one side 3a (short side) of the third cutting ruler 3 is applied to a vertical wall surface corresponding to the remaining region R3. Then, the cutter is moved along the opposite side of one side 3a applied to the wall surface part (the other short side facing the short side applied to the wall surface part) to cut the rhombus floor tile 92 to be cut to obtain a floor tile piece. .
In addition, if it is the 3rd cutting ruler 3 as which the rhombus line 78 as shown in FIG. 9 is displayed, if the direction of the said rhombus line 78 and the laid rhombus floor tile 9 is match | combined, the 3rd cutting ruler 3 will be shown. Since one side 3a (short side) faces the vertical wall surface W1, it can be easily determined in which direction the third cutting ruler 3 should be applied, and the direction in which the third cutting ruler 3 is applied is determined. You can prevent mistakes.

Moreover, when the rhombus floor tile 9 is cut so as to conform to the shape of the remaining area of the floor surface existing in the vicinity of the lateral wall surface W2, the following is performed.
As shown in FIG. 11, cutting is performed on the rhombus floor tile 9 that has been laid in a direction substantially orthogonal to the lateral wall surface portion (a part of the lateral wall surface W2) corresponding to one remaining region R4. The target rhombus floor tile 92 is overlaid.
At this time, the laid rhombus floor tile 9 closest to the wall surface is selected.

The rhombus floor tiles 92 to be cut are preferably stacked so that all the sides thereof coincide with all the sides of the laid rhombus floor tiles 9.
The third cutting ruler 3 is placed on the rhombus floor tile 92 to be cut. At this time, the other side 3b (long side) of the third cutting ruler 3 is applied to the lateral wall portion corresponding to the remaining region R4.
Then, the cutter is moved along the opposite side of the other side 3b applied to the wall surface part (the other long side opposite to the long side applied to the wall surface part) to cut the rhombus floor tile 92 to be cut, and the floor tile piece Get.

<Fitting process>
The floor tile pieces that match the shape of each remaining area obtained by the cutting step are fitted into each remaining area in the same manner as the construction of the regular hexagonal floor tile. The arrows in FIG. 11 represent placing the floor tile pieces into the remaining area.
If the adhesive is not applied to the remaining area, the floor tile piece is inserted after the adhesive is applied.

Furthermore, also about other division area, by laying the rhombus floor tile 9 like the above, the rhombus floor tile 9 can be laid with the 1st laying pattern on the whole floor surface of a construction place.
If a third cutting ruler with the above dimensions is used, if one side of this ruler is applied to the wall surface and a rhombus floor tile is cut at the opposite side, a floor tile piece that conforms to the shape of the remaining region is obtained. Can do. According to the construction method of the second floor tile of the present invention, the floor tile piece to be fitted into the remaining region can be easily cut from the rhombus floor tile, so that the rhombus floor tile can be easily constructed.
