First, as shown in FIG. 5, the user applies the slurry 60 to the wall 40 and places the two tiles 30 on the slurry 60 while the slurry 60 remains wet.

Next, as shown in FIG. 6, the tile holder 1 of the present invention is inserted into the slurry 60 below the two tiles 30 placed, so that the two tiles 30 are positioned on the base 11, and are separated. One side of the board 12 (eg, left or right side). In practice, the tile holder 1 can be located 3 mm below the tile, but is not limited thereto, with mud 60 interposed therebetween. Later, on the base 11 and on the other side of the partitioning plate 12 (correspondingly, for example, the right side or the left side), the slurry 60 is applied. It is also possible to sufficiently use the slurry 60 overflowing from the lower surface of the susceptor 11 to the upper surface of the susceptor 11 through the overflow hole 111.

Next, as shown in FIG. 7, the other two tiles 30 are placed on the base 11 on the other side (correspondingly, right or left) of the partitioning plate 12. Thus, the four tiles 30 are placed on the base 11 and are separated by the partition plate 12 in the upper left, lower left, upper right, and lower right directions, respectively. At this time, however, the four tiles 30 have not been firmly fixed and are not yet aligned to the same horizontal plane.

Next, as shown in FIG. 8, the gland 21 is placed over the four tiles 30 in such a manner that the brace 13 passes through the opening 214 of the gland 21.

Then, as shown in FIG. 3 and FIG. 4, the pulling bar 13 is pulled up to drive the partitioning plate 12, thereby driving the base 11, and the base 11 pushes up the plurality of tiles 30; When the gland 21 is pressed down, the gland 21 pushes down the plurality of tiles 30; the plurality of tiles 30 are clamped by the gland 21 and the base 11, and are respectively pushed by the gland 21 and the base 11. As a result, they are aligned with each other on the same horizontal plane, and are flatly attached to the wall surface 40 to which the tile 30 is to be fixed. Specifically, the plurality of surfaces of the plurality of tiles 30 that are exposed are at the same height H, as shown in FIG.

As shown in FIGS. 9 and 10, the user can remove the gland 21 after the fixing of the tile 30 is completed. The gland 21 can be reused. As can be seen, the pressing member including the gland 21 and the pull-up member including the base 11, the partitioning plate 12, and the brace 13 are selectively present in a separated manner.

Further, the user can rotate the brace 13, and the reduced portion 131 of the brace 13 will be unable to withstand the rotational moment and break, thereby removing the brace 13. Therefore, in the completed diagrams of FIGS. 9 and 10, the base 11 and the partitioning plate 12 of the tile holder 1 of the present invention will remain on the wall 40 to be decorated by the tile without being removed. . Specifically, the susceptor 11 is retained under the plurality of tiles 30, and the divider 12 is retained in the seams 31 of the plurality of tiles 30.

11 and 12 are schematic views of the force applied to the tile holder 1 of one embodiment of the present invention.

As shown in Fig. 11, the user may use the tool to simultaneously provide the force of the pressing of the gland 21 and the pulling force of the brace 13, for example, using the pliers 50, the end 511 of the lever 51 of the pliers 50 is pressed against the pressure. The cover 21 is attached to the pivot 52 of the pliers 50. Preferably, the brace 13 can have a pull-through 133 at its end remote from the divider panel 12, and the pull-through 133 is adapted to the pivot 52 of the pliers 50 or the connector 53 extending from the pivot 52 of the pliers 50 (eg The hooks are passed through so that the pivot 52 of the pliers 50 exerts a force on the brace 13.

As shown in Fig. 12, when the forceps 50 is closed by the scissors movement, the end portion 511 of the lever 51 of the forceps 50 will press the gland 21 while the pliers pivot 52 pulls up the brace 13. The gland 21 pushes the plurality of tiles 30 downward, and the brace 13 drives the partition plate 12, thereby driving the susceptor 11 to push the plurality of tiles 30 upward. The plurality of tiles 30 are clamped by the gland 21 and the susceptor 11 and are respectively pushed by the gland 21 and the susceptor 11, resulting in alignment with each other on the same horizontal plane.

In summary, the tile holder of the present invention can promote the tiles to be aligned with each other on the same horizontal plane, and fit flatly on the wall to be fixed by the tile, and can further strengthen the fixing of the tile.

Although the present invention has been described in the above embodiments, it is understood that many other modifications and changes can be made without departing from the spirit of the invention.
