Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a tile decorating method.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, there are various decorative patterns on the surface of a tile, one of which is shown in FIG. 4 in which a glaze is spotted on a tile base. There is a speckled pattern 100 formed by applying to.

As a method of forming this speckled pattern, a method of applying a glaze as a decorating material to the tile surface by a spray device, a centrifugal glazing device or the like is used.

However, when the speckled pattern is formed by such a method, there is a problem that the tile surface becomes a uniform speckled pattern over the entire surface and the change is scarce.

[0005]

The present invention has been made to solve the above problems, and the gist thereof is to provide the first decorative layer which is the first base color on the tile surface. A second decoration layer is formed by applying a decorating material having a color different from that of the first decoration layer in an island shape, and thereafter, the same system as the second decoration layer is formed on the first and second decoration layers. This is to apply a glaze having a color of preferably 1.

[0006]

When the tile surface is decorated according to the present invention, a spotted pattern is formed on the tile surface by the drop-shaped glaze, and the glaze forming the spotted pattern is formed in an island shape. Color of the second decorated layer (second base color)
Since it is composed of the same type of color as that of the first base color (the color of the first decorative layer, the spot pattern due to the glaze applied in drops on the second base color does not clearly appear as a spot pattern. ) Only the glaze applied drop-wise on it forms a clear speckled pattern.

That is, the tile pattern obtained according to the present invention has islands of the second base color on the sea of the first base color, and is applied in drops on the sea-like base color. It becomes a complicated pattern with a speckled pattern caused by glaze.

As a result, it is possible to obtain an uneven spot pattern which is rich in variation and which cannot be obtained conventionally.

In the present invention, the glaze in the form of drops located on the outer periphery of the island-shaped second decorative layer acts so as to blur the outline of the second decorative layer.

Therefore, even if the second decorative layer is formed by a straight and sharp outline, this straight line is prevented from appearing on the tile surface, and the tile surface is finished in a soft pattern.

In the present invention, a glaze can be used as a decorating material for forming the island-shaped second decorating layer (claim 2).

In this case, there is an advantage that it is possible to enhance the sense of fusion between the second decorative layer and the decorative layer formed by the glaze on the upper side of the second decorative layer.

In the present invention, the stamp member is further impregnated with the decorating material for forming the island-shaped second decorating layer, and the stamp member is brought into contact with the first decorating layer, thereby A second decorative layer can be formed (claim 3).

In this way, the island-shaped second decorative layer can be easily formed, the island-shaped second decorative layer can be formed thick, and the tile surface can be provided with irregularities due to the second decorative layer. The surface pattern can be further varied based on the shape effect.

Embodiments of the present invention will now be described in detail with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 (VII) shows the final step of the method of one embodiment of the present invention, in which 10 is a tile base material,
Reference numeral 12 is a first decorative layer made of a glaze formed thereon. The color of the first decorative layer is a color that becomes the base color of the tile surface.

On the first decorative layer 12, a second decorative layer 14 made of a glaze of a color different from that of the first decorative layer 12 is formed in an island shape with the first decorative layer 12 as the sea. The color of the second decorative layer 14 is the second base color.

Reference numeral 16 is a frit state and these first decorative layers 1
2 and the first decorative layer 12 applied on the second decorative layer 14
And the second decorative layer 14 is a glaze having a different color, and 18 is applied to the first decorative layer 12 and the second decorative layer 14 in the first drop-like shape after the frit-shaped glaze is applied. Glaze, 20 is a glaze that has been applied drop-wise to the second time, and 22 is a glaze that has been applied drop-shaped to the third time.

Next, each step of the method of this embodiment for forming such a decorative layer will be specifically described with reference to FIGS. 1 and 2.

First, as shown in steps (I) and (II) of these figures, a tile base 10 is prepared, and a glaze for forming a first decorative layer 12 is applied thereon. Here, as the glaze for the first decorative layer 12, a black glaze (strictly speaking, a glaze that develops black after firing; the same applies hereinafter) is used.

Next, the second decorative layer 14 is formed as shown in (III). That is, the second base color glaze is applied in an island shape (see FIG. 3) on the first decorative layer 12.

As a means for applying the glaze forming the second decorative layer 14 in an island shape, the sponge 26 of the stamp member 24 is impregnated with a liquid glaze as shown in FIG. The method of pressing on the decorative layer 12 is used.

In this way, the second decorative layer 14 can be formed thickly, and the tile surface can be made uneven so that the thickness of the surface pattern can be increased.

The glaze for forming the second decorative layer 14 has a color different from that of the first decorative layer 12. Here, white or a color close to this is used.

After the above steps are completed, next, as shown in (IV), the frit-like glaze 16 is scattered on the first decorative layer 12 and the second decorative layer 14 by the frit device 28. And apply.

Thereafter, in step (V), the spray device 3
With 0, the first drop-shaped application (glazing application) of the glaze 18 is performed. Then, subsequently, in steps (VI) and (VII), the second and third glazes 20 and 22 are applied in the form of drops.

In these steps (V) to (VII), as the glazes 18, 20 and 22, those having the same system color and translucency as the second decorative layer 14 are used, and the glaze is increased as the number of times increases. Use a highly light-sensitive material.

After each glaze is applied as described above, by firing this together with the tile base material 10, each glaze is colored to form a deep and uneven pattern on the tile surface. it can.

That is, the pattern on the tile surface obtained as described above has a spotted pattern on the second base color despite the fact that the glaze is applied in a drop shape over the entire surface of the tile. It does not appear clearly, but the spot pattern is clearly shown only on the first base color, that is, the so-called spot pattern is unevenly distributed on the tile surface.

Moreover, the glaze which forms this speckled pattern is translucent and allows the ground color to pass through and appear on the tile surface, so that a surface pattern with a sense of depth can be obtained.

Further, the island-shaped second decorative layer 14 has a large thickness and has a shape as if it is raised on the tile surface, so that the tile surface becomes uneven and forms a heavy pattern.

Further, the glazes 18, 20, 22 which are formed in a drop shape and are located on the outer periphery of the second decorative layer 14 formed in an island shape by the stamping method are linear shapes of the second decorative layer 14. Since it acts so as to blur the outer contour line of, the straight line does not appear on the tile surface, and a soft pattern appears.

Although the embodiment of the present invention has been described in detail above, this is merely an example. For example, in the present invention, the surface of the tile base material can be used as the first decorative layer, or the second decorative layer can be formed with a decorative material other than glaze.

In addition, the present invention can be implemented in variously modified forms based on the knowledge of those skilled in the art, such that the above-exemplified steps can be appropriately modified within the scope of the present invention.
