Definitions
- the present invention concerns the field of devices used for the installation of tiles in any field, home and not.
- this invention deals with an innovative positioning device for tiles, useful to obtain the correct alignment of the same tiles during the laying phase, obtaining any type of distance between the same, or gap, more or less pronounced, or wide, in a precise and stable way.
- One of the most difficult operations to perform during installation is to align the tiles correctly, namely to ensure the consistency of the gaps between adjacent tiles.
- Another complex operation is to create a correct planar arrangement of the tiles, in order to guarantee a constant level of the covering surface.
- Devices comprising a base with a cross-shaped appendix (or linear or half-cross appendix) on the inner sides of which the corner portions of four contiguous tiles are placed on top of each other.
- the thickness of the arms of the cross determines the width of the gaps between these tiles.
- the height of the T-shaped or cross-shaped devices is usually considered at the level of the layer of glue that is used to fix the tiles, indeed, it is usually preferred that they remain drowned below the layer of glue so as not to be visible in the gaps.
- a number of such devices are used, with the various bases to be placed in the intersections of groups of adjacent and facing tiles. In this way, the tiles are arranged parallel to each other and spaced consistently.
- these appendices are composed of a threaded stem and a possible connecting fin between said threaded stem and said base, such a fin normally has three main dimensions of length, height and thickness that will be defined for convenience thickness S, height A with respect to the base, defined orthogonal to the base and length of the fin itself and L intended as the length of the section of (Note that length L and thickness S define the contact surface between the base and the fin, this will be useful in the description at a later stage.)
- One purpose of this invention is to solve all the above known art problems.
- a further purpose of this invention is to describe a positioning device for tiles that guarantees the correct positioning of the same even after removal of the appendix.
- One more purpose of this invention is to describe an easy-to-use device.
- a further purpose of this invention is to describe a tile positioning device suitable for use with any type of cap, knob or similar suitable for the purpose.
- One more purpose of this invention is to describe a device that is easy to implement and economical.
- a further purpose of this invention is to describe a device that guarantees greater safety and precision in the laying of the tiles.
- said device in particular comprises at least a levelling base for the positioning of tiles, at least an appendix connected to said base, said appendix comprising at least a fin connected from a first side to said base orthogonally to the base itself and at least one stem connected to said fin on a second side, characterized by the fact that said fin is divided into at least one upper part and at least one lower part, said fin further including side notches separating said at least one upper part connected to said stem and said at least one lower part connected to said base, said at least one lower part of said fin while remaining connected to said base, said lower part further including at least lips raised above the height H of the lower part above the base, said lips raised above the height H of the lower part above the base, said lips remaining always advantageously outside the glue laying plane
- these lips are a separating and aligning element for these tiles at the detachment of the upper part of the appendix, the tiles remaining particularly and correctly positioned even if the glue is not yet dry, both with respect to the support surface and between them.
- said lateral notches forming said lips will obviously be at the same height H with respect to the base, said notches originate on the external side of the fin and end in correspondence of the upper surface of the lower part of the fin, the surface along which the upper part of the fin is detached from the lower part.
- This lower part of said fin essentially acts as a separation element between the tiles, the lower part of height H, however, could be drowned by the glue, similarly to the T-shaped or cross-shaped separating elements, (as it happens also as it regards the realization variants described in the above mentioned patent), thanks instead to the protruding lips from the inferior part of the fin, of height HI, that will remain on the inferior part of the fin also to separation of the inferior part of the same, the correct alignment of the tiles is always guaranteed.
- this innovative device not only makes the laying of the tiles completely safe and precise, acting as a safety element, but also makes it possible to speed up the laying process itself, since it is possible to remove the upper part of the appendix without waiting for the glue used to fix the tiles to the floor/wall/ceiling to dry completely.
- this element of separation, or said lips can have any length (height) useful to keep the tiles in place and/or separate, preferably having a height of a greater than 0,5 mm.
- various sizes of devices with a lower part will be available in an advantageous way of fins with any height and thickness suitable for the purpose.
- cross-shaped or T-shaped devices have a maximum height compared to the base of 1 - 1.5 mm, the lips instead will stretch from that height up, for at least another 0.5-1 mm, and/or more, any expert in the field knowing that these thicknesses are sufficient and functional to the innovative purposes described.
- the stem can be of any type suitable for the purpose.
- said lower part of said fin can have any thickness depending on the type/thickness of gap to be made, similarly, said lips can have any thickness suitable for the purpose.
- the separation surface identified by said lateral notches can be of reduced thickness to facilitate the breakage between the upper and lower part of the fin.
- said lower part of fin and said base are made in a single piece.
- Fig. 1 a, 1 b, 1 c shows common laying devices of the know art
- FIG. 2a, 2b, 2c, 2d, 2e various views of a particularly preferred form of realization of said precision and safety positioning device are represented;
- FIGs. 3a and 3b show views of another particularly preferred form of construction of the device of the invention;
- FIG. 1 a and 1 b some forms of realization of positioning devices for tiles of the known art are represented, in which in particular in Fig. 1 a and 1 b two known devices are represented, including a base B and an appendix connected thereto 20,21 : in case of Fig. 1 a and 1 b the appendix after installation detaches from the base, in case of 1 b, the appendix has a lower section in contact with the base of reduced length L compared to the length I of the fin 21 of the device, this helping the detachment, in any case, both for the case of figure 1 a and 1 b, the base remains drowned under the tiles disadvantageously, there is no guarantee that the tiles remain correctly positioned between them. Note that these are just a few examples of known art, there are a number of essentially similar devices having the same functions on the market.
- the device in figure 1 b is represented in a version in which a cross (known) is fixed on the base for the positioning of the tiles, with the above fin with an easy invitation to detach, this allows a more precise positioning of the tiles, but when the same are fixed with glue, the crosses (or similar) remain substantially drowned in the glue, so that if appendix 21 is removed before the glue is completely dry, therefore all the disadvantages described above will still be present, namely possible displacement of the tiles, incorrect alignment, or even detachment due to wall positioning or the like.
- the device comprises at least a base 2, an appendix 9, said appendix comprising at least a fin 12 and a screw or pin 11 , said fin being divided here in an upper part 12a of the fin, connected to said pin/screw 11 , and at least a lower part of the fin 12b, said lower part of the fin including advantageously at least lips 12c that protrude for a height HI from said lower part of the fin 12b, having height H in comparison to the base 2, said upper part 12a being connected to said lower part of the fin 12b and said lips 12c along a separation line given by a connection/separation surface 13; said fin 12 includes notches 14 for the separation of said upper part of fin 12a from said lower part of the fin 12b.
- connection/separation area 13 may or may not be thinner to help detach the bottom of the fin 12b from the upper fin 12a.
- notches 14 separate the upper part from the lower part of the fin.
- the angle of inclination a1 of notch 14 is preferably greater than 1 degree and less than 90 degrees, the surface of said protruding notches from said lower part of the fin 12b forms said lips 12c protruding from said upper surface S12b of the lower part of the fin 12b.
- said lips 12c of said lower part of fin 12b are a safety element, because the layer of glue can at most reach the level of the height H1 of the fin 12b but not above, (for obvious reasons, the glue can not be too close to the top edge of the tiles) this in a very advantageous and innovative way solving all the above mentioned problems of known art.
- in fig.2c it is visible the device 1 in a side view and in fig.2d in a view from above, in fig.2e is represented a magnified detail of the device with reference to the angles a1 and a2.
- Figs 3a and 3b show another particularly preferred form of realization of the device 1 ,10 described in the present invention, in which said fin 120 includes a plurality of notch zones 140', 140", 140"' etc. at different heights, or distances, with respect to the base 2, (or with respect to the upper surface S120b of the lower side of the fin 12b). So, in an advantageous way, the user, depending on the thickness of the tiles to be laid, can decide at which height H1 ,H2,H3,etc of the fin, namely in which notch area, remove the upper part 120a, 120a", 120a” etc. from the lower part
- the innovative device 100 described by the present invention is represented in a variant which further includes a positioning element for the tiles 15a, attached to said base 2, which intersects perpendicularly to the lower part 12b of the fin can be assimilated to a T element, thus forming a T separation element.
- the safety element or elements 12c namely the lips that protrude from the plane formed by the surface S12b and the plane, are always advantageously included which may be at the same height H as the surface S12b in relation to the base 2, or at a lower height in relation to the surface S12b.
- figures 4b, 4c, 4d are described, which are viewed from the sides and front and from the top of a further realization form where the device 101 includes fixed on base 2 in addition to element 15a an additional element 15b, which intersecting perpendicularly, one on each side, forming a line, with respect to the lower part of the fin 12b, as shown in figure 4c, it forms a separating cross element, for which what is described with reference to figure 4a,b,c applies.
- At least devices 100 and 101 may also not include the base.
- T-shaped or cross-shaped elements are obviously also applicable to the forms of realization of a separation device in safety comprising more than one notch zone 140 and therefore more than one choice of detachment zones of the upper part of the fin 120a from the lower part 120b which will therefore have variable height and
- the different types of equipment can be used to complement each other, depending on the zone of detachment chosen by the user.
- the fin 12, 120 having its own general height A defined according to the form of realization.
- the lips can have any shape suitable for the purpose, here for simplicity we have described triangular, said shape simplifying advantageously the detachment of the upper part (or upper parts of the fin) from the lower one / s, but in other variants the lips can be at least one or preferably even more than two and have a rectangular shape, square, rounded, round or other shape suitable for the purpose of operating advantageously and innovatively as element(s) of separation and maintenance in the correct position of the tiles even after the removal of the upper part of the fin 12a, 120a etc. attached or not to a stem or screw suitable for the purpose.
- said notches are preferably two for each zone of detachment, to simplify the detachment of the parts, but they can also be in different numbers.
- the stem or screw 11 connected to said fin 12,120 can be of any type suitable for coupling with any knob suitable for the purpose, in fact this having nothing to see with the purposes of the present invention, any variant in this sense therefore falling within the scope of protection of the present invention.
