DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to an improvement in a mosaic floor material for covering a floor of a building with a mosaic pattern.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art In recent years, mosaic tiles made of, for example, PVC tiles have tended to be widely used instead of conventional stone-based mosaic tiles when covering the floor of a building with a mosaic pattern. The mosaic tile made of the PVC tile is provided as a mosaic flooring formed in a single plate shape in a state where a plurality of tile pieces are arranged in a predetermined mosaic pattern in advance.

[0003] That is, a plurality of tile pieces are arranged so as to set a predetermined mosaic pattern, and a connecting film also serving as a protective film is extended on the surface to form a single mosaic pattern. Is provided as mosaic flooring.

[0004] Therefore, according to the mosaic flooring material which is formed into a single plate by laying out the connecting film, it is possible to pack things set in a predetermined mosaic pattern as they are, and There is an advantage that it is possible to release the packing or the like and lay it on the floor as it is.

[0005] However, in the mosaic flooring material formed in a single plate shape by the above-described connecting film extension,
Since tension is applied to the connecting film when the connecting film is spread on the surface, the connecting film tends to cause overall shrinkage in the tension direction.

Therefore, if the mosaic flooring material with the shrinkage is laid on the floor surface, a so-called error is generated, and a gap is formed at the end of the mosaic flooring material. .

[0007] On the other hand, the problem of the generation of the gap due to the above error can be completely avoided by laying each tile piece on the floor surface while peeling off the connecting film from the mosaic floor material. This is synonymous with laying each tile piece based on a mosaic design drawing or the like, and the benefit of setting the mosaic floor material in one plate shape is not received at the time of construction.

[0008] To put it simply, as compared with the case where each tile piece prepared for setting a mosaic pattern is laid one by one, there is an advantage in that an erroneous laying as an erroneous lay is less likely to occur. It is.

In the case of the above-mentioned mosaic floor material, since the connecting film also serves as a protective film, the surface of the mosaic floor material can be protected until the floor covering is completed. When laying each tile piece on the floor surface while stripping the connecting film as described above, the connecting film is stripped, so that the above-described surface protection cannot be expected.

[0010] In addition, the cost of the mosaic floor material is increased by installing the connecting film, and the peeled connecting film is discarded as so-called garbage. There is also a defect that will produce.

The present invention has been made in view of the above circumstances, and has as its object the purpose of setting a plurality of tile pieces in a predetermined mosaic pattern in advance to form a single plate. It is an object of the present invention to provide a mosaic flooring material which is optimal for enabling packing and the like as it is and for laying on the floor as it is after releasing the packing and the like.

[0012]

In order to achieve the above-mentioned object, the structure of the mosaic flooring according to the present invention is basically changed by aligning a plurality of tile pieces in advance so as to set a predetermined mosaic pattern. And on the back side,
It is assumed that each tile piece is connected to an adjacent tile piece by a linear material having an appropriate strength, and the whole is formed in a single plate shape.

More specifically, it is assumed that the linear material is a fiber material or a metal wire, and the linear material is continuously or discontinuously laid and embedded in each tile piece.

[0014] Preferably, the tile pieces are made of a PVC resin material, a PVC tile, a cushion tile having a cushion material on the surface of a base made of a PVC resin material, or
It is assumed that the rubber tile is made of a rubber material.

[0015]

BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS FIG. 1 is a perspective view of a mosaic flooring according to an embodiment of the present invention; FIG. , 2, 3,..., N are arranged in advance so as to set a predetermined mosaic pattern, and as shown in FIG.
Are connected to adjacent tile pieces 1, 2, 3,..., N by a linear material 10 having an appropriate strength, and the whole is formed into a single plate.

Each of the tile pieces 1, 2, 3,..., N in the illustrated embodiment is made of a PVC resin material and has a thickness of about 2.5 to 5.5 mm, so-called a PVC tile. Is cut into a predetermined shape.

Incidentally, each of the tile pieces 1, 2, 3,
.., N may be cushion tiles having a cushion material on the surface of a base made of a PVC-based resin material, or rubber tiles made of a rubber material, not shown, instead of being made of the above-mentioned PVC tile. .

The tile pieces 1, 2, 3,..., N are
Since the mosaic pattern is set, the surface color is set to be different in many cases. However, other methods, for example, the pattern direction and the fur direction of the cushion material may be set to be different. .

The linear material 10 is composed of tile pieces 1, 2, 3,
,... N are connected to the adjacent tile pieces 1, 2, 3,..., N to form a single plate as a whole. The mosaic floor material formed into a single plate does not break easily even if the mosaic floor material is suspended, for example, by gripping the end, that is, each of the tile pieces 1, 2, 3,. n.

It is preferable that the linear material 10 is formed of a material which does not expand positively. I have.

When the linear material 10 is made of such a fiber material, it can be easily obtained as a material. In particular, when the wire material 10 is made of synthetic fiber, a considerable strength is expected as compared with cotton or silk. This is advantageous in that it can be obtained.

It is preferable that the wire 10 is made of a metal wire simply from the viewpoint of strength. When a metal wire is selected as the wire 10, it will be described in detail later. However, the linear material 10 is attached to each of the tile pieces 1, 2, 3,
.., N has an advantage in that it is advantageous in terms of workability when buried in a bridge state.

By the way, in terms of strength, the thickness of the linear material 10 is approximately 15 to 20 in number when it is made of cotton, and when it is made of silk or synthetic fiber, The number is preferably approximately 50 to 60, and when the linear material 10 is made of a metal wire, it is approximately 0.4 mm when it is a single wire or when it is a stranded wire. It is good to be.

In the present invention, it is assumed that the linear material 10 is laid and laid over each of the tile pieces 1, 2, 3,..., N. In a continuous state.

The bridging state of the linear material 10 may be discontinuous as shown in FIG. 3. In this case, when the bridging length is the same, This is advantageous in that the length of consumption of the linear material 10 can be reduced as compared with the case where it is continuous.

In addition, when the linear material 10 is stretched in a continuous state, compared to when the linear material 10 is stretched in a discontinuous state, it is more troublesome to cut the linear material 10 each time. Can be omitted, and the adjacent tile pieces 1, 2, 3,
... This is advantageous in that the work of connecting n competitors can be performed quickly.

In the connection state of the tile pieces 1, 2, 3,..., N by using the linear material 10, the bridging of the linear material 10 is partially executed as shown in FIG. In this case, the linear material 10 may be used.
May be in a continuous state as shown in the figure, or may be in a discontinuous state (not shown).

When the bridging of the linear material 10 is partially performed, the consumption of the linear material 10 can be reduced, and
This is advantageous in that the connection work of the tile pieces 1, 2, 3,..., N can be performed quickly.

As a result, it is sufficient that the linear material 10 is embedded in a state of being laid between the tile pieces 1, 2, 3,..., N. Of the mosaic floor material at the time of burial.

As a method of embedding the linear member 10, for example, as shown in FIG. 5A, the linear member 10 is controlled by NC using an ultrasonic cutter C (not shown). There is a method of press-fitting the formed groove S by using the pressing roller R.

According to this method, the linear material 10 is preferably a thin material made of silk or synthetic fiber, but may be a thick material made of cotton in consideration of using the pressing roller R.

At this time, the tip of the ultrasonic cutter C is heated, and the groove S is formed in a state where it is melted by the heat, and the pressing member R is formed on the groove S in which the linear material 10 is melted. In this case, it is preferable that the linear material 10 is made of heat-resistant cotton.

Incidentally, in order to form the groove S in a molten state, the tip of the ordinary cutter is heated by NC control or the like, not shown, instead of using the ultrasonic cutter C, as shown in FIG. Alternatively, a heating iron by NC control or the like may be used.

As a method for embedding the linear member 10, for example, as shown in FIG. 5B, the linear member 10 made of a metal wire is projected from the holder H while being heated. The protruding linear material 10 may be immersed in the place where it is melted by the heat by using the pressing roller R.

In forming the groove S, it is important to take care not to produce so-called swarf. In this sense, the use of the ultrasonic cutter C is not limited to the swarf. This is extremely advantageous in that the width itself of the groove S can be minimized.

Therefore, although not shown, the mosaic flooring material according to the present embodiment formed as described above is stacked in a cardboard box as a packing container having a predetermined size. It is provided, and when it is laid, it is taken out from the cardboard box sequentially and used.

At this time, that is, when the mosaic floor material is stored in the cardboard box and taken out of the cardboard box, the mosaic floor material is suspended by gripping the end portion or the like. Also, the whole is maintained in a single plate shape by the linear material 10, and is not separated into the tile pieces 1, 2, 3,..., N.

Further, the mosaic floor material is taken out of the cardboard box and laid as it is on a predetermined floor surface.
At this time, unlike the conventional mosaic flooring described above, shrinkage due to the extension of the connecting film has not been induced, and therefore, not only does not cause an installation error, but there is no fear of occurrence of the installation error, Laying work can be done quickly.

When the mosaic floor material is laid, care is taken so that the linear material 10 is buried on the back surface and does not protrude from the back surface. Of course, the connection state of the three,..., N members is not visible from the front side, and the adhesive applied to the floor surface is securely adhered to the back surface of the mosaic floor material and does not impair the adhesiveness of the adhesive. .

Further, since the linear material 10 for maintaining the mosaic floor material in a single plate shape is used while being buried on the back surface, that is, laid on the floor, the linear material is laid. 10 is in a so-called burial situation, and does not remain as refuse such as the connecting film in the conventional mosaic flooring described above.

[0041]

As described above, in the mosaic flooring according to the present invention, a plurality of tile pieces are arranged in advance so as to set a predetermined mosaic pattern, and each tile piece is formed on the back surface side. It is connected to the adjacent tile pieces with a linear material having appropriate strength and is formed into a single plate as a whole, so that it is a set container in a so-called set state and has a predetermined size. A plurality of the cardboard boxes can be stacked and accommodated and provided, and at the time of laying, the cardboard boxes can be sequentially taken out from above and used.

Then, when the mosaic floor material is stored in the cardboard box and taken out of the cardboard box,
Even if the mosaic floor material is suspended by gripping the edge,
The whole is maintained in a single plate shape by the linear material, and there is no danger of being separated into tile pieces.

Further, unlike the conventional mosaic flooring, the mosaic flooring does not cause the shrinkage due to the extension of the connecting film, so that the mosaic flooring is taken out of the cardboard box in a predetermined state. It is sufficient to lay on the floor surface. At this time, not only is there no laying error, but there is no fear of laying error, so that the laying work can be performed quickly.

When laying the mosaic flooring,
Since the linear material is buried on the back side so that it does not protrude from the back side, it is natural that the connection state of each tile piece by the linear material is not visible from the front side,
The adhesive applied to the floor surface will surely adhere to the back surface of the mosaic floor material, and the adhesiveness of the adhesive will not be impaired.

Further, the linear material for maintaining the mosaic floor material in one plate is laid on the floor surface while being buried on the back surface. And the dust does not remain as refuse like the connecting film in the above-mentioned conventional mosaic flooring.

As a result, according to the present invention, it is possible to lay the mosaic floor material on the floor of a building and cover it with a mosaic pattern, without worrying about the occurrence of errors and the generation of dust at the time of laying. Has the advantage of being quick and easy.
