Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Industrial Field of Application] The present invention relates to a member for arranging curved tiles. More specifically, the present invention relates to a tile arrangement member used when tiling projecting corners using the tip-on method.

[Prior Art] When tiling the protruding corners of buildings, etc., it is necessary to tile the protruding corners of buildings, etc., by applying curves such as scalene curves of flat edges, double-hung tiles, etc. shown in Figures 1a and 1b, and curves of mosaic tiles, etc. tiles are used.

By the way, as one of the tile construction methods, there is a pre-installation method that has higher construction efficiency than the hand-laying method. This pre-installation method, as is well known, involves attaching tiles to a tile arrangement member.

Conventionally, the tile arrangement member used in the pre-installation method of ordinary flat tiles was developed by the applicant in the Japanese Patent Publication No. 55
-24424. As shown in FIG. 2, the tile arrangement member is made of thermoplastic resin and includes a large number of tile insertion squares 4 surrounded by a joint grid 3 that is lower than the tiles. The back side of the tile is placed in the square 4 facing upward, and heated to temporarily fix the tile arrangement member 2 and the tile together to form a tile unit for the pre-installation method.

The arrangement member 5 of the conventional curved tile 1 is
As shown in the figure.

This curved tile arrangement member 5 is provided with a section A and a section B that are orthogonal to each other.
A joint grid is provided on the side of the included angle with the section, forming a square.

These parts A and B are cut pieces A and B (shown in Figures 3a and 3b) at both ends obtained by cutting the flat tile arrangement member 2 shown in Figure 2 above along the A-A line and the B-B line.
It is more than that. Specifically, tape 6 is adhered to the back surfaces of sides A1 and B1 of cut pieces A and B, and the pieces are joined at an angle α of 90°. A curved tile 1a shown in FIG. 1a is inserted into the square 4 of this tile arrangement member 5 so that its back surface is exposed. Then, the tile arrangement member and the curved tile 1a are temporarily fixed by heating to form a tile unit for pre-installation method.

[Problems to be Solved by the Invention] In this conventional curved tile arrangement member 5, both sides of the flat tile arrangement member 2 are cut, and one tile or one half thereof is connected in the size of a so-called half square. It is necessary to create the cut pieces A and B and to join them together with tape 6, which requires a lot of effort.

[Means for Solving the Problems] The present invention provides a tile arrangement member in which a plurality of tile insertion squares are defined by a joint grid, and a fold orthogonal to the joint grid is provided, and a fold is formed along the fold. It is bent at a substantially right angle so that a tile can be inserted into the corresponding square.

The fold line is composed of a V-groove cut into the joint grid from the surface and an elongated cutout formed at the base of the square.

[Function] With the curved tile arrangement member of the present invention, curved tiles can be held by simply bending it along the crease.

The original member of the curved tile arrangement member of the present invention before bending can be easily formed as a single piece, unlike the conventional one in which the cut pieces A and B of the flat tile arrangement member are joined together.

[Example] Embodiments will be described in detail below based on the drawings.

FIG. 5 is a plan view of the curved tile arrangement member 7 according to the embodiment of the present invention seen from the square 4 side, FIG. 6 is a front view of FIG. 5, and FIG. 7 is a line C-C of FIG. 6. The sectional view and FIG. 8 are perspective views showing the member 7 bent at 90 degrees.

The curved tile arrangement member 7 according to this embodiment is
It is used to connect scalene curved tiles 1a shown in FIG. 1a.

The curved tile arrangement member 7 according to this embodiment is
It is made of a thin plate-like body of thermoplastic synthetic resin, and rectangular squares 4 are formed by protruding L-shaped joint grids 3. In this embodiment, six consecutive squares 4 are provided by connecting the long sides. Note that the four adjacent squares are connected in a staggered manner. In other words, every other square 4 is connected so that one end in the longitudinal direction protrudes. Reference numeral 8 indicates the base of the square to which the tile surface is adhered.

In this curved tile arrangement member 7, folds 9 are provided in a direction perpendicular to the longitudinal direction of the squares 4. The fold line 9 consists of a V-groove 10 cut into the joint grid 3 from the surface side and an elongated cutout 12 formed in the base part 8. In addition, two elongated cutouts 12 are provided in one square,
There is a seam 11 between them.

In this embodiment, the fold line 9 is provided so as to pass through a non-center portion in the longitudinal direction of each square line 4, and each square line 4 is connected to the first small square line 4a by this fold line 9. It is separated into a second small square 4b smaller than the small square 4 of .

This first small square 4a is a curved tile 1a
The second small square 4b has a size equivalent to the short side surface _{1a 2 of} the tile 1a (so-called half square size).

Note that the protruding height of the joint grid 3 is set smaller than the thickness of the curved tile 1a.

Furthermore, the seams 11 are provided between the elongated cutouts 12 in order to prevent the base portion 8 from being torn along the elongated cutouts 12 as a boundary.

A tile unit using this bent tile arrangement member 7 is used in the pre-installation method by bending it along the fold line 9 at an angle β of 90°, as shown in FIG. That is, after bending at right angles as shown in FIG. 8, the long side surface _{1a 1} of the bent tile 1a
is inserted into the first small square 4a, and the short side surface _1a2 of the curved tile 1a is inserted into the second small square 4b. Thereafter, by heating, the curved tile arrangement member 7 made of thermoplastic resin is softened, and the surface and side surfaces of the curved tile 1 are temporarily fixed together with the curved tile arrangement member 7, and the curved tile 1
A tile unit for pre-installation method is formed.

The curved tile arrangement member according to the present invention can be applied not only to the scalene curved tile 1a having equal long and short sides, but also to the equal-sided curved tile 1b shown in FIG. 1b. In this case, the first small square 4a and the second small square 4b separated by the fold line 9 may have the same size.

[Effects] As described above, the curved tile arrangement member of the present invention has V-grooves carved in the joint grid and elongated cutouts at the base of the squares, so that it can be bent at right angles along these. It is something.
By simply bending a member previously integrally made of synthetic resin or the like along the fold line, a tile arrangement member into which bent tiles can be inserted can be obtained.

The curved tile arrangement member of the present invention is therefore extremely easy to manufacture and inexpensive to produce, allowing for reductions in tile unit and tile construction costs.
