Abstract

PURPOSE:To improve the appearance by pressing a pattern attern applying member with protruding patterns against a joint before hardening, or disposing a patterns applying member at a form joint part, and placing joint mortar to form recessed patterns on the joint. CONSTITUTION:Joint material such as mortar is filled in a joint part 10 between tiles 1. Next a patterns applying member 3 in a bar-type, roller-type or the like with patterns projections 30 is pressed against the joint material before hardening to form recessed patterns on the joint material. Then mortar in another color is filled in the patterns recessed parts as necessary, and the mortar in other color than that in the recessed part is removed by means of washing finish or the like for forming colored patterns. Besides, if a unit type tiling block is formed, a patterns applying member is provided at a part for the joint of a form to place mortar. It is thus possidle to improve the appearance largely, and manufacture blocks for pavement at a plant while reducing the cost.

Description

[Detailed description of the invention] [Industrial application field]

This invention relates to a method of patterning the joints between tiles and an apparatus used therefor, and more specifically, the joints of tiles placed on retaining walls, floors, etc., and the joints between tiles of paving blocks whose surfaces are preliminarily covered with tiles. This article concerns the method of applying patterns to the paper and the equipment used to do so.

[Prior art]

The joints between tiles were used to fix adjacent tiles or to maintain a constant spacing between tiles, and there was no concept of adding patterns here. In other words, the pattern was constructed only by the type and arrangement of the tiles. If patterns were to be added to these joints, the plasterer could only apply each pattern one by one using a joint trowel.

[Problems with conventional technology]

As mentioned above, in the past, patterns were not added between the tile joints. For this reason, it is particularly undesirable in terms of aesthetics when the joint size is large.

[Means to solve the problem]

This invention was proposed in view of the above-mentioned problems of the prior art, and was proposed for the purpose of giving an extremely beautiful aesthetic to tiling by adding an uneven pattern to the joints and adding color to the patterned depressions. be. In order to achieve this object, the present invention applies pressure to the joints between the tiles by holding them with a pattern imparting member when the joints are soft. In addition, in so-called pavement blocks whose surfaces are covered with tiles in advance, an uneven pattern is applied to the portions corresponding to the joints of the formwork.

[Operation of the invention 1] When laying tiles on retaining walls or floors, put a joint material into the joints and use a joint trowel to smooth the tiles. After this, a pattern imparting member is pressed onto the joint. It is necessary that the joints at this time are not completely solidified. Next, in the case of paving blocks, either an uneven pattern is applied in advance to the joint-corresponding parts of the formwork, or a pattern imparting member with an uneven pattern is loaded, and tiles or Thin sheets of natural stone are placed and a predetermined amount of concrete or joint mortar is poured in to fix the tiles, followed by concrete for the main body. [First Embodiment] As shown in FIG. 1, a joint material such as mortar is placed in the joint portions 10 between the tiles 1. After it has solidified to some extent, a pattern imparting member 3 as shown in FIG. 2 is pressed onto the joint. Before pressing this pattern member 3, it is preferable to smooth out the joint portion to some extent using a common joint trowel. However, it is not necessarily necessary to level the joint portion with a joint trowel after filling the joint 10 with the joint material. You can do it as needed. A convex pattern protrusion 30 is formed on the surface side of the pattern imparting member 3. In the illustrated example, the pattern is an alternating pattern of squares and circles, but the pattern is not limited to this, and may be a continuous pattern such as an arabesque pattern. The type of pattern is not limited. Although the shape of the pattern imparting member 3 is prismatic (bar-like), it is not limited to this, and may be a roller-shaped pattern imparting member 5, as shown in FIG. 5 in the diagram
0 is a pattern protrusion. By pressing the 50-inch portion of this pattern imparting member against the joint and moving it forward, the protrusion enters into the joint material and can impart an uneven pattern to the joint. Such a roller type may be used instead of a tile to create a pattern on a joint with a curvature similar to that of iron flat stone. In addition to the above-mentioned prismatic shape, it may also be a deformable shape such as a ruler made of lead or the like. In addition, if mortar of a different color than the joint is poured into the recesses formed in the joints, and the colored mortar other than the part filled in the recesses is removed by a method such as washing out, only the pattern recesses will be removed from the other joints. becomes a different color. In this case, the pattern will be constructed in a two-dimensional manner. This can be done according to your preference, and if the pattern is just a concave shape, this operation is not necessary. In addition, when applying a planar pattern, it is not limited to this, but after the joint has completely solidified, attach a bevel or the like to the first pattern applying member 3.5 and press it against the joint or move it forward. By doing this, it is possible to create a planar pattern on the joint area.

[Second Embodiment] In a second embodiment, a case will be described in which a pattern is applied to the joints between tiles of a paving stone block. As shown in Figure 4,
Tiled paving blocks are manufactured by placing tiles in a formwork 7 and then pouring concrete or mortar. In this case, a pattern imparting member 3 as shown in FIG. 2 is placed in a portion corresponding to the joint. Of course, it goes without saying that this pattern imparting member may be molded integrally with the mold. It is more convenient not to mold the material integrally with the formwork when creating various patterns. That is, (1) the manufacturing cost of the frame is high, and therefore - (-) as many molds as the number of molds required for each pattern are required. Therefore, the overall cost can be reduced by using a general-purpose mold and replacing only the pattern-imparting member. FIGS. 5 and 6 show examples of joint patterns of tiled pavement blocks. In addition, even with this paving stone tiling block, it is possible to pour colored mortar into the recesses that are the patterned areas, and then wash it off with a brush or brush to give the recesses a different color than the joints. It is. Materials for each of the above-mentioned pattern imparting members 3.5 include rubber,
Wood or various metals are used. It goes without saying that the material is not particularly limited.

【Effect of the invention】

According to this invention, it is possible to apply a pattern to the joints between tiles, and the aesthetics are greatly improved. Further, it is preferable to use a pattern of 7-shaped grooves as shown in FIG. 6 from the viewpoint of drainage performance. Furthermore, if this invention is applied to paving blocks, etc., mass production will be possible in factories, which will be advantageous in terms of cost. In addition, if you name it as a paving block,
It is only used as paving stones, but by changing the thickness and weight of the entire block, it can also be used as a modular wall or floor. That is, unit tiling can be used as blocks.
