Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION Technical Field The present invention relates to the surface finishing of structures such as buildings, and relates to a surface finishing structure whose surface is tiled.

In this specification, the term tile refers not only to the thin plate-shaped fired clay products that are usually applied to the surface of walls, etc., but also to all thin plate-shaped products made of other materials that are similarly applied to the surfaces of walls, floors, etc. . Therefore, it naturally includes not only ceramic tiles and glass tiles but also thin bricks.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION It is well known that tiles are used to finish the surfaces of structures such as exterior walls, interior walls, and gates. Furthermore, when thin plate bricks are used as tiles on the exterior walls of buildings, it is possible to create a building with a heavy appearance similar to that of masonry, and this has recently been widely used.

Conventional tile finishing methods include (1) on-site installation method, (2) tile-type frame first installation method, and (3) tile first installation precast reinforced concrete plate method.

In the conventional on-site installation method, tiles are placed one by one on a base such as mortar using mortar as an adhesive, and after the mortar has hardened, the joints must be finished with joint mortar. Therefore, it had the disadvantage that it took a long time to finish.

In addition, the tile-type frame-first construction method and the tile-first precast reinforced concrete plate construction method require the use of concrete, which is labor-intensive and large-scale, resulting in high costs.

OBJECT OF THE INVENTION The present invention has been made in consideration of the above points, and an object of the present invention is to provide a surface finishing structure that can easily obtain the surface of a tiled structure.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION In this invention, tiles are attached and fixed to a support horizontally attached to the surface of a structure with at least horizontal joints formed therein.

The support has first and second surfaces both facing upward.
It has a shape in which engaging portions are formed at regular intervals.

The tile has a first engaged part that engages with the first engaging part formed on its back surface, and a second engaged part formed on its lower surface.
A second engaged portion that engages with the engaging portion is formed, and a protruding portion that protrudes upward is formed on the bottom side of the upper surface, and a protruding portion that protrudes upward is formed on the bottom surface of the tile in the attached state. The tile has a shape in which a downwardly protruding hanging part is formed so as to cover the tip of the protruding part of the tile to be attached, leaving a gap that serves as a horizontal joint.

Furthermore, the present invention is provided with a retainer that presses down the protruding part of the tile from above when the tile is attached to the support by engaging each engaged part of the tile with each engaging part of the support. It is also characterized by:

In this specification, the term "up and down" referring to a direction means a direction as a surface of a finished wall or the like. Further, the surface indicating the direction is the surface in the finished state, and the bottom means the opposite side.

Embodiment FIG. 1 is a front view of a wall surface formed according to each embodiment of the present invention, and is an example in which vertical joints 1 and horizontal joints 2 are formed around tiles 3 to create a masonry-like wall. . FIG. 2 shows an example of tiles 3 being placed against the left and right to form a wall. Of course, it can be used not only for walls, but also for interior decoration, the surface of gates, etc.

FIG. 3 shows A of FIG. 1 according to an embodiment of the present invention.
-A sectional view. A tile 15 corresponding to the tile 3 is attached to the support 4 in an engaged manner.

The support body 4 is a long object formed from an extruded aluminum alloy material, and one support body 4
The length is such that a plurality of tiles 15 can be attached to the wall. As shown in the figure, its cross-sectional shape is such that a first engaging portion 6 and a second engaging portion 7 are provided on the surface side of a bottom surface 5 formed on a flat plate, and a stepped portion 8 is provided on the upper end side.
is formed. Even if there is a stepped part 8 on the bottom side of the bottom surface 5 when it is attached to a wall structure material, etc., the bottom surface 5
Protrusions 9 are provided at appropriate locations so that the surface is flat.

The first engaging portion 6 has a shape in which a tip 6a of a rising portion rising at right angles from the surface at approximately the center of the bottom surface 5 is bent diagonally upward. On the other hand, the first engaging portion 6
The second engaging portion 7 provided on the lower side at a predetermined distance from the bottom surface 5 has a shape in which a tip 7a of a rising portion rising at a right angle from the bottom surface 5 is bent upward at a substantially right angle. Both have their tips pointing upwards.

The tile 15 is rectangular with a predetermined thickness, and has a first engaged portion 16 formed at the center of the bottom, a second engaged portion 17 formed on the lower surface, and an upwardly extending portion formed on the bottom side of the upper surface. It has a shape in which a protruding portion 18 is formed and a hanging portion 19 is formed on the surface side of the lower surface to protrude downward.

The first engaged portion 16 is a groove cut inward from the bottom, and the upper surface of the groove is an inclined surface 16a so as to be engaged with the first engaging portion 6 bent diagonally upward. It is said that The upper and lower widths of the groove 16 are set so that the first engaging part 6 can be inserted easily. On the other hand, the second engaged portion 17
is a groove into which the right-angled tip 7a can be inserted. This groove 17 only needs to be able to insert the tip 7a.

As for the protruding part 18 and the hanging part 19, the tip of the protruding part 18 of the lower tile is positioned in the space between the hanging part 19 and the support body 4 as shown in the figure, and the tip of the protruding part 18 is placed in the hanging part 19. It is positioned and shaped so that it can be covered. The distal end surface 19a of the hanging portion 19 and the upper surface 15a of the tile 15 are formed so as to form an interval that forms a horizontal joint. The surface 18a of the protrusion 18 is visible from this distance.
Everything else is hidden from view, eliminating the need for sealing.

In this embodiment, both engaging parts of the support body 4 face upward, and the engaged part of the tile is hooked onto these engaging parts. Therefore, the tile is not fixed by this engagement alone. Therefore, in this embodiment, in order to fix the tile 15, a stopper 20 is provided to press the tip of the protrusion 18 of the tile 15. Since both engaging portions face upward and the engaged portion of the tile 15 is hung from above, there is no risk of it coming off as long as the tips of the protruding portions are held down. Retainer 20 of this embodiment
is made of a resilient material such as rubber, and is shaped so that it can be inserted between it and the second engaging portion 7 of the support body 4. It may be a long piece or a short piece. However, the protrusion 18 is not limited to this.
Anything that can hold down the tip of the holder is fine.

The support body 4 is fixed to a wall structural material or the like with screws, nails, etc. 14. Since the support body 4 is molded from an aluminum alloy mold material as described above, its dimensional accuracy is extremely high. Therefore, if the lower end of the upper support body is brought into contact with the uneven part 8 of the lower support body 4, each support body 4
become parallel. Therefore, if the uppermost or lowermost supports 4 are fixed horizontally, all the supports 4 can be made horizontal simply by making them abut against the stepped portions 8, as described above.

In this way, after all the supports 4 are installed horizontally, if the tiles 15 are placed against the supports 4,
The inclined surface 16a of the first engaged part 16 of the tile 15 is applied to the first engaged part 6, the tip 7a of the second engaged part 7 is inserted into the second engaged part 17, and the tile 15 is attached to the support. It can be stopped by engaging with 4. Thereafter, the tile 15 is fixed to the support body 4 with a retainer 20.

The tiles 15 can be fixed to the support 4 in a very simple manner.

The tiles 15 may be arranged with or without vertical joints as shown in FIGS. 1 and 2. They don't all have to be the same length, nor do they all have to be the same color. However, if vertical joints are provided, the joints must be filled, but in that case it is desirable to fit a packing 21 shown in FIG. 4.

This gasket 21 has protrusions 22 formed on both sides of the upper end to serve as the retainer 20. The surface 21a of this packing 21 is the surface 18 of the protrusion 18 of the tile 15, which will become the bottom of the horizontal joint when the joint is filled.
It is flush with a, and the bottom of it is tile 1.
A first engaged part 21b having the same shape as the first engaged part 16 of the tile 15 is formed on the lower surface, and a second engaged part 21c having the same shape as the second engaged part 17 of the tile 15. ing.

If the packing 21 having this protruding piece 22 is used for sealing, the stopper 20 is not required. In this example, the protruding pieces 22 are provided on both sides of the packing 21, but it goes without saying that they may be provided on only one side. In addition, when using the retainer 20 for long objects, the fifth
A packing 21' without the protrusion 22 shown in the figure is used. This gasket 21' has the same shape as the gasket 21 except that it does not have the protruding piece 22, and its upper end 21'
The height from the bottom surface of the tile 15 to the protrusion 18
It is said that the height is the same as the height to the tip of.

When using these gaskets, just attach them as described above while sandwiching them between the tiles. As described above, when the gasket 21 having the protruding piece 22 is used, the retainer 20 is not required.

Modification In the above embodiment, the tiles 15 are arranged in a row on one support 4, but the tiles may be engaged between upper and lower supports. That is, a configuration may be adopted in which the first engaging portion is provided on the lower side of the upper support and the second engaging portion is provided on the lower support. Furthermore, one support may be provided with two or more sets of engaging portions.

Effects of the Invention As described above, according to the present invention, tiling can be performed without using any adhesive such as mortar, so even non-tile workers can obtain a tiled surface extremely easily.

Further, in this invention, both engaging parts are directed upward, and both engaged parts of the tile are shaped so that they can be hooked onto the upward facing engaging parts, so that it is easy to attach the tile to the support body. It is extremely easy to attach the tile to the support, as it is only necessary to place the tile against the support, and even a child can attach the tile to the support. After that, you need to secure it to prevent it from coming off, but that work is very easy.

Furthermore, since the tile is engaged with the support at two locations, it can be stably attached to the support without being fixed. Therefore, it is possible to temporarily arrange tiles of different lengths, check the situation, and replace them with a desired arrangement.

Even with simple construction as described above, this invention provides a stopper at the tip of the protruding portion of the tile, so there is no fear that the tile will come off and it can be securely fixed. Furthermore, since this retainer is located at the tip of the protruding portion and is covered by the hanging portion of the upper tile, it is not visible from the outside, resulting in an excellent design.

Furthermore, in this invention, the tip of the protruding part of the lower tile is covered by the hanging part, and the surface of the protruding part is exposed to the horizontal joint, so there is no need to fill the horizontal joint, making the construction easier. Become.
