Description

The present invention relates to a tile laying method.

The tiles referred to here are various tiles laid on the floor, wall surface, etc., and the material thereof does not matter. For example, polyvinyl chloride or linoleum plates, veneer-type materials such as tile carpets, wood, ceramics, etc. may be used as long as they are plate-shaped.

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, in a house, office, etc., it is generally practiced to spread a plurality of tiles made of polyvinyl chloride or the like, tile carpets, etc. without a gap and use them as a floor material.

When performing such laying work, it is usual to lay tiles of a certain size from the center of the room toward the wall, but when the laying is near the wall, the tiles already laid Often the distance to the wall is less than the length of the tile or the angles do not match.

In such a case, conventionally, the tile to be cut is stacked on the tile near the wall, the tile as the ruler is placed on it, and the tile as the ruler is shifted to the wall, and the edge of the tile instead of the ruler is moved. The tiles piled up in were cut. Then, by removing the extra portions of the tiles as a substitute for the ruler and the tiles that were cut, only the tiles that fit snugly remained.

Further, a method as disclosed in Patent Document 1 has also been devised. This uses a certain ruler and cuts according to the ruler.

According to the conventional method, the construction can be performed when the edge of the wall and the side of the tile are parallel to each other, but it is difficult to perform the construction when they are not parallel. In addition, the method of creating a special ruler is troublesome and time-consuming. Therefore, there is provided a method that does not require a special tool and can be applied even if the angle between the tile and the edge of the laying surface is not parallel or right angle.

In view of the above situation, the present inventor has completed the laying method of the present invention as a result of earnest research, and the feature is that in the method of laying rectangular tiles on the laying surface, This is a tile laying method in a place where tiles are in contact with the laying edge, which is the edge, and cannot be laid as it is, and it consists of the following steps.
1 Temporarily place tiles up to a place where they can be laid without cutting.
2 Move another tile along the laying edge to cover the part where the tile is not laid, and draw a line on the tile that has already been temporarily placed along the opposite side of the laid edge of the moved tile. Pull,
3 Temporarily place the tiles drawn with lines in another place,
4 Place the tiles around the temporarily placed tiles in the area that touches the tiles with lines,
5 Move another tile along the line drawn on the tile, and cut the tile along the opposite side of the line,
6 Remove the cut outer tiles,
7 Return tiles other than those removed to the laying surface and lay them.

The tile according to the present invention is the one described in paragraph 0002 and does not need to be a special material. It can be called a cushion floor, flooring, floorboard, tile carpet, etc. Above all, a relatively hard material exerts the effect of the present invention. For example, it is a tile made of plastic such as polyvinyl chloride or linoleum.
Although the size is not limited, it is preferably about 10 cm square to 1 m square. Although the thickness is not limited, it is about several mm to 10 mm.

The shape of this tile is a rectangle in plan view (including a square, and many squares are actually used). In the present invention, the tile thus has a rectangular shape. In reality, there are many such things.
In the present invention, the tile to be laid is of one kind (in terms of size), and the narrow portion is a method of cutting the tile to use, not a method of using various shapes.

The laid surface is a surface on which tiles are laid, and is a floor surface, a wall surface, or another construction surface. Any area where tiles are laid is acceptable. Further, the edge side is the edge side of the area where the tile is to be laid, and is usually one side of the floor.

A place that cannot be laid as it is is an area where tiles to be used cannot be laid as they are in terms of area or shape. Usually, it is a portion where the tile is cut and fitted by some method as described above.

Next, the steps of the present invention will be sequentially described.
First, the tiles to be used are temporarily placed without cutting them until they can be laid as they are. Temporary placement here means simply arranging. However, the tiles may be fixed (bonded or the like) instead of being temporarily placed, except for tiles which will be described later and temporarily placed at different locations.
Here, the place that can be laid as it is without being cut refers to the vicinity of the laying edge of the laid surface that is laid exactly, and does not always mean the margin of the entire laid surface.

Next, move the same tile (called a ruler tile because it is used like a ruler) along the laid edge so that it covers the part where the tile is not laid, and place it opposite the laid edge of the ruler tile. Draw a line along the side above the temporary tiles. The meaning of "drawing a line" here is to make a mark, but it is necessary to clarify it so that the tile can be moved along the mark later. If it is possible, it may be a dotted line, a solid line, or another mark.
At this time, if there is a protrusion or the like at the corner portion or the edge of the laid surface, the ruler tile is slid in both the vertical and horizontal directions.
The ruler tile here is the tile itself to be laid and is not special. It is not laid or temporarily placed, but is simply called to mark or cut along its edges like a ruler.

In addition, since marking on the surface of the tile is troublesome when it is necessary to erase the tile later, and the appearance is impaired, the tile to which the mark is attached may be turned over and used. Put a mark on the back, and when all the cutting is completed, you can put it back on the table. In the case of a square, it is easy because there is no problem in any direction.

Temporarily place (line up) the marked tiles at another place as if they were temporarily placed on the laying surface. Of course, there is no problem on the tiles already laid.

Tiles are tentatively placed around the tentatively arranged tiles. The tiles arranged in the periphery in this way do not fit into the marginal portion of the laying surface as they are without being cut, and they fit in if they are partially cut.
In a state where tiles are lined up around this, the ruler tile is moved along the mark (line described in step 2 of claim 1) on the tile, and the tile is temporarily placed on the opposite side of the mark of the ruler tile. Disconnect. There is no problem if you mark it once and then cut it instead of cutting it immediately.

The outer part of the cut tile is removed. The tiles other than the removed tiles will fit snugly on the original laying surface.

The present invention has the following great advantages.
(1) The margin of the laying surface is narrow, and it can be easily laid on a part where one tile does not fit.
(2) No special ruler or pattern is required.
(3) Construction is quick and easy.

The present invention will be described in more detail based on the embodiments shown in the drawings, but the present invention is not limited to the embodiments.

FIG. 1 is an example in which tiles (here, tiles made of polyvinyl chloride) 2 are laid on a floor surface 1. Here, only four tiles are shown. It has just been laid (temporarily placed) near the edge 3 of the floor 1 (the rising line of the wall). At present, the margin (the area where the tiles are not yet arranged on the floor surface) does not have an area where the tile 2 fits, and the side of the tile 2 and the edge 3 are not parallel. It can be seen that it is very difficult to cut the tiles in the margin of such a shape and lay them properly.

In the state of FIG. 1, slide a ruler tile 4 (the same as the laid tile, which is called because it is used like a ruler) (FIG. 2). Then, marks (lines, dotted lines, etc.) 5 are attached along the side of the tile opposite to the edge 3. In this example, four tiles 2 are described, and the margin between the four tiles and the edge 3 is a problem, and other parts are not mentioned. It goes without saying that those parts can be constructed by the same method.
Next, the same operation as in FIG. 2 is performed on the other end side 3. Then, similarly, the ruler tile 4 is slid and other marks 6 are attached (FIG. 3).

The tile 2 having marks 5 and 6 as shown in FIG. 3 is temporarily placed in another place (FIG. 4). A new tile 7 is placed around the tile 2 in the state of FIG. 4 (on the side of the edge 3). Then, if necessary, the marks 5 and 6 are extended to this new tile 7 (FIG. 5).

In FIG. 6, the marks 5 and 6 are also extended to the tile 7, and the ruler tile 4 is slid along the mark 5. Here, a cutting mark 8 is attached along the side of the ruler tile 4 on the side opposite to the mark 5 (of course, cutting may be performed at this stage).
Similarly, the other edge side (left side in this figure) is also performed, and a cutting mark 9 is attached as shown in FIG. 7.

Next, cutting is performed with the cutting marks 8 and 9. FIG. 8 shows a state in which unnecessary portions are removed. The marks 5 and 6 may be erased, and when the back side is used, it is turned over. This is laid on the four tile portions of FIG. 1 (there are no tiles because they are actually removed) and the margin portion. Then you can fit it snugly. The state is shown in FIG.

In this way, it is possible to easily and accurately fit it without measuring dimensions, making a pattern, and making a special ruler.
