  • Cap system 110 can be merely slid out of the way and the connecting tab 130 can then be detached without increasing any pressure on the top surface of the tile.

Also shown is gripping tongue support member 302 which is shown as being coupled to the upper cap spring-like portion 112. Note that when upper cap spring-like portion 112 is pressed downward as in FIGS. 2 and 4 there is deflection of upper cap spring-like portion 112 and therefore relative movement of gripping tongue support member 302 /gripping tongue 128 mounted thereon with respect to the connecting tab 130. Also shown in FIG. 3 is the substrate mortar 350 and sub tile base member 340 which is placed in the mortar or against the substrate. Sub tile base member 340 is shown having base mating portion 342 for temporarily grasping the connecting tab base mating member 332 disposed on connecting tab 130.
  • connecting tab base mating member 332 is a portion of a reusable connecting tab that is removed from the sub tile base member 340 on one job and used again and again on other jobs. In such a configuration only the sub tile base member 340 is a consumable or non-reusable portion of the system. Note that connecting tab base mating member 332 is shown in an enlarged or exaggerated manner for clarity in FIGS 3 and 4. FIGS.
  • FIG 5 and 6 show embodiments where the widest portion of connecting tab base mating member 332 is not any wider than the widest portion of the remainder of connecting tab 130; this allows for removal of the connecting tab 130 with connecting tab base mating member 332 through the joint in the tile without the need to remove any additional mortar.
  • FIG. 4 there is shown a cross-sectional representation of the mechanical edge setting and lippage tuning system 100 of FIG. 2, which shows the cap base portion 120 touching the tile 160 and the upper cap spring-like portion 112 spread out further.

  • FIG. 5 there is shown an exploded perspective view of the connecting tab 130 and sub tile base member 340 combination of the present invention.
  • Sub tile base member 340 is shown having base mating portion 342 which is designed to temporarily grip connecting tab base mating member 332 and then release when the requisite forces are applied.
  • Connecting tab 130 is shown having a connecting tab base mating member 332 which may be a separate metal piece inserted into a connecting tab end opening 504 so that connecting tab mating member internal gripping teeth 502 (shown in dotted lines) hold the connecting tab base mating member 332 in place with respect to the connecting tab 130.

  • the system of the present invention utilizes the following method:
  • the reusable connecting tab 130 is coupled to the sub tile base member 340.
  • the system is used to align and level tile in a manner similar to the system described in the above referenced patent, except for the flexing of upper cap spring-like portion 112 after the cap base flange 122 contacts the tile.
  • the upper cap spring-like portion 112 may be, but not necessary, compressed and deflected when pressed toward the tile 160. This additional compression of cap system 110 after contact between the cap base flange 122 and the tile provides the force retaining feature to avoid problems associated with undesired elongation of the connecting tab 130.
  • the cap system 110 can be removed from the surface of the tile 160 without tipping the cap system 110, temporarily increasing the forces between the cap and the tile. Instead, the cap system 110 is merely slid away from the connecting tab 130 while the connecting tab 130 remains coupled to the sub tile base member 340. After the cap system 110 has been separated from the connecting tab 130, the reusable connecting tab 130 is removed from the sub tile base member 340 without the need for increasing downward pressure on portions of the top surface of the tile 160.
  • sub tile base member 740 which is similar in use and material to sub tile base member 340, however, sub tile base member 740 is configured with a strap receiving void 770 for receiving therein a reusable strap 800.
  • Sub tile base member 740 is specially designed to allow the reusable strap 800 to be removed from attachment thereto by severing the various strap mating members. In one embodiment these members are made so that they can be relatively easily broken and thereby facilitate removal of the reusable strap 800 by forcibly separating it from the strap mating members 772.
  • outside strap mating member ends 774 have a larger end which is designed to facilitate ease of insertion followed by retention of the reusable strap 800 on the strap mating members 772 during the process of using the system to reduce lippage.
  • the insertion process can be reversed and the strap mating member ends 774 can be aligned with enlarged portions of reusable strap mating section receiving holes 872 so as to be easily removed through the enlarged portions.
  • the play between the reusable strap 800 and the sub tile base member 740 is dramatically reduced, (i.e. the permitted range of relative movement is made much smaller). If even more upward (away from the grout joint) force is applied at this point the strap mating members 772 and strap mating member ends 774 may be sheared or otherwise deformed to permit an alternate method of removal of the reusable strap 800 from the sub tile base member 740.
  • Reusable strap 800 has a reusable strap top side 882 and a reusable strap bottom side 884 with a reusable strap mating section 870 at the bottom, which are attached to the main shaft of the reusable strap 800.
  • Reusable strap 800 has a reusable strap ridged edge 802 and a reusable strap central ridges 880 section.
  • the reusable strap ridged edge 802 is used for cooperation with edge grasping caps while the reusable strap central ridges 880 are for cooperating with strap center grasping caps.
  • Reusable strap mating section 870 is preferably made of a metal or other material which is substantially stronger than the material used for sub tile base member 740; in particular, the strap mating members 772 and the strap mating member ends 774.
  • the entire reusable strap 800 is made strong enough that when the main shaft is pulled hard the strap mating members 772 and strap mating member ends 774 are sheared off or otherwise caused to allow the reusable strap 800 to be pulled vertically from the strap receiving void 770.
  • Reusable strap mating section receiving holes 872 are configured to slip over the strap mating members 772 and strap mating member ends 774 and then be pulled up during operation as pressure is applied when the cap is forced relatively down the reusable strap 800.

Abstract

L'invention porte sur un système d'alignement de tuiles et d'ajustement d'irrégularités, lequel système utilise une patte de liaison dressée vers le haut réutilisable de base de sous-tuile, un capuchon fendu à bord souple réutilisable configuré de façon à glisser sous la patte de liaison et à verrouiller celle-ci quand le capuchon est glissé davantage vers le bas de la patte de liaison. Le capuchon a une fente de bord, de telle sorte que la patte de liaison peut être séparée vis-à-vis du capuchon, par le simple glissement du capuchon, de telle sorte que la patte de liaison passe à travers la fente. Une partie en forme de ressort souple du capuchon produit une force accrue sur la tuile même si un allongement indésirable de la patte de liaison se produit.
