Description

[Detailed description of the invention] [Industrial application field] This invention solves irregularities that occur after tile installation on walls of buildings or structures, roads, etc. by using uncured adhesive. It is related to a correction ruler for making corrections in between.

[Conventional technology]

When installing tiles on the exterior or interior walls of buildings or structures, or on road surfaces, for example, rectangular tiles are arranged in series with joints left in the longitudinal direction in the horizontal direction, and this method is used in the vertical direction. It is constructed by arranging rectangular tiles in a staggered manner, leaving joints in the short direction.

These tiles are marked on the wall surface in advance before installation, and then adhered with adhesive in order along the marked lines, but this is done to avoid distortion of the tile adhesion during installation. As a result, the linear arrangement is disrupted and becomes irregular, and as a result, the widths of the joints formed between the tiles are not at regular intervals, resulting in an extremely unsightly appearance.

Therefore, in a certain area immediately after installation, before the adhesive has completely adhered, an engineer will usually find irregularities by visual inspection or using suitable lumber at the work site, and correct the distortion of the tiles. Modifications are being made to maintain the joint widths at constant intervals.

On the other hand, a frame body with a plurality of frames suitably formed by horizontal frames and vertical frames is pasted and set on the surface to which tiles are to be pasted, and a tile is inserted into each of the frames and attached to the frame. Therefore, a pasting frame for pasting tiles while setting the pasting position of the tiles is known from Utility Model Application No. 59-42243.

[Problem that the invention attempts to solve]

Of these known techniques, the former method, in which an engineer uses an appropriate piece of board to visually correct tile irregularities, has large differences in correction depending on skill; When used, it is generally just a long plate with a thickness, so even if it is applied to the side edge of an array of tiles, it is difficult to determine whether or not the tile is accurately touching the timber. In addition, it is necessary to check the position of the eye close to the timber, so it is inconvenient to handle anything other than the appropriate length, and when working at heights, the weight of the timber will affect the work. There are other inconveniences.

Additionally, adhesives tend to adhere to timber, which causes unevenness in straight sections, making accurate correction impossible.

On the other hand, the tile pasting frame disclosed in Utility Model Application Publication No. 59-42243 is not intended for correcting irregularities in installed tiles, but is used for positioning the tiles to be pasted from the beginning. I did it,
If the pasting frame is installed in a distorted manner, or if the tile is distorted by pressing the tile with a vibrator, it is necessary to re-past the entire tile.

Furthermore, with pasted frames that can adjust the vertical and horizontal frame lengths by sliding, the bolt frame that makes up this sliding mechanism is thick, so there are drawbacks such as the inability to form joints of a certain width or less, making it cumbersome. The problem is that they are forced to handle it.

In view of the current situation, this invention provides a correction ruler for tile construction that can mechanically determine the irregularity of tiles after construction and that can easily correct irregular tiles using a simple method. The purpose is to

[Means for solving problems]

In order to achieve the above object, the modified ruler for tile construction of this invention is a tile that is attached by providing a protruding edge on one side edge of a flat plate member with a constant width over the entire length. A horizontal correction edge is formed, and protrusions are formed on the other side edge at regular intervals in a direction opposite to the horizontal correction edge for vertical correction of the adhered tile. The vertical correction edge is located at the joint in the vertical direction of the tile to which the protrusion is attached, and the part other than the protrusion is in contact with the tile surface. It is characterized by the following structure.

[Effect]

By simply applying this correction ruler along the installed tile, you can immediately determine whether the tile is uneven or not. Using the space between the correction rulers, one edge of the correction ruler can be used to detect horizontal tile irregularities, and the other edge can be used to detect vertical tile irregularities, making it easy and simple to correct tiles across the top, bottom, left and right. It is something that can be done.

That is, in order to correct the tile arrangement in the horizontal direction, as shown in FIG. 4 are brought into contact with each other, and it is detected whether the tiles are arranged in a straight line on the upper surface of the projecting edge 4. This makes it possible to clearly identify irregular tiles (tiles 7').

By correcting the tile 7' to the position of the ruler, it is possible to easily eliminate irregularities in the tiles arranged in the horizontal direction and keep the joint width constant.

Next, in order to correct the tile in the vertical direction, as shown in Figure 3, the protrusion 5 provided on the other edge of the correction ruler is This tile 7' is inserted between the joints in the direction, and a part of the part other than the protrusion 5 is brought into contact with the tiles 7' arranged in a staggered manner so as to straddle the tiles 7'.
It is possible to easily detect irregularities between the tiles 7 and 7'' that exist above and below.

In this case, the configuration of the protrusions 5 should be determined according to the dimensions of the tile used, but seven protrusions with a width of 30 mm are provided evenly in the longitudinal direction of a corrected ruler with a length of 870 mm. By doing this, it can be used with most tiles of different sizes without any problems.

〔Example〕

Hereinafter, one embodiment of the correction ruler for tile construction of this invention will be described with reference to the attached drawings.

FIG. 1 is a perspective view showing an example of a correction ruler for tile construction of this invention, in which 1 is a plate member, 2 is a notch window formed in this plate member 1, and the adjacent notch windows 2, 2 are A holding portion 3 for holding the plate member 1 by hand is formed in between.

On one side edge in the longitudinal direction of this plate member 1, a projecting edge 4 is provided with a constant width on one side of the plate surface over the entire length, and the projecting edge 4 is also provided on the other side edge in the longitudinal direction of the plate member 1. Protrusions 5 are provided at regular intervals in the opposite direction, and a slightly protruding protrusion 6 is provided between the protrusions 5, and these protrusions prevent uneven edges. A section is formed.

The angles of these projecting edges 4 and protrusions 5 with respect to the plate surface are right angles.

However, as mentioned above, in the horizontal direction, the normal arrangement of tiles is to arrange rectangular tiles in series with joints left in the longitudinal direction, so the edges to be used are in the longitudinal direction of the correction ruler. A protruding edge 4 with a constant width over the entire length is used.

On the other hand, in the vertical direction, the tiles are arranged in a staggered manner with joints remaining, and therefore joints are formed in a straight line on every other tile, and irregularities in this arrangement can be detected.

In such a case, use the other edge of the correction ruler, the edge on which the protrusion 5 is formed, and straddle the surface of the staggered tiles with the part that is not the protrusion 5, that is, the protrusion 6. Then, the protrusion 5 is inserted between the joints of the tiles located above and below the protrusion 5, and is brought into contact with the side edge of the tile to detect irregularities.

Therefore, the edge of the correction ruler has a part other than the protrusion 5 in contact with the tile surface in the vertical direction of the attached tile 7', and the protrusion 5 is in contact with the tile surface in the vertical direction.
It is constructed so that it is located at a vertical joint part such as 7''.

This correction ruler is made of a lightweight metal such as aluminum or a material such as plastic as a whole, and one or more cutout windows 2 are provided on the plate surface to form a frame-shaped correction ruler. By doing so, the plate member between the notched windows 2, 2 can serve as the holding part 3, and the weight can be further reduced.

There is no particular limit to the width of the edge of the correction ruler, but the protrusion width of the horizontal correction edge with a constant width protrusion 4 and the vertical correction edge with a protrusion 5 is based on the thickness of the tile. Taking this into account, both are preferably within 1 cm, particularly around 6 mm.

Note that the edges for correction in the vertical direction may be formed with a protrusion of a slight width on the edge other than the protrusion 5, as shown in figure number 6 in the drawing, and in any case, the edges may be formed at regular intervals. Any material with a protrusion formed therein may be used.

[Effect of idea]

By touching the tile before the adhesive hardens, this devised correction ruler for tile construction can instantly detect irregularities in tiles in the vertical and horizontal directions without relying on the operator's sense. Because you can
In tile construction, it is possible to easily and simply correct the arrangement position of the tiles, which is essential for the final finish, and the vertical and horizontal joints can be maintained at a constant width, resulting in an extremely aesthetically pleasing appearance. It allows for good tile construction.

In addition, it is easy to handle because it is made of a plate-shaped body made of lightweight material such as aluminum.
There are no disadvantages due to adhesive adhesion.
