A fastening device, in particular, is part of a fastening system for detachably fixing components (42,44) to one another, such as wall coverings to walls, preferably in the field of interiors. The fastening device has a support part (2) including a support plate (12) with protruding closure elements (24) on one side and a protruding fixing part (4) with a fixing structure (26) on the other, opposite side (8). The fixing part (4) has an axial length preferably less than or equal to each radial length of the support part (2) extending transversely to it. The fixing structure (26) of the fixing part (4) is self-locking or self-tapping. The support plate (12) has a cut-out (36) for applying an operating tool. The cut-out extends from the support plate (12) into the fixing part (4) and is free by the closure elements (24).

A method for installing a tile to a wall includes applying a padded trim material to a front surface of the tile. With the trim material on the front surface of the tile, a force is applied to the trim material so that the tile is connected to the wall. Once the tile is connected to the wall, the trim material is removed from the tile.

The invention relates to a fastening device, in particular as part of a fastening system for detachably fixing components (42,44) to one another, such as wall coverings to walls, preferably in the field of interiors of any type, said fastening device having a support part (2), which has a support plate (12) for protruding closure elements (24) on one side and a protruding fixing part (4) with at least one fixing means (26) on the other, opposite side (8). The fastening device is characterised in that the fixing part (4) has an axial length which is preferably less than or equal to each radial length of the support part (2) extending transversely thereto, the respective fixing means (26) of the fixing part (4) is self-locking or self-tapping, and the support plate (12) has a cut-out (36) for application of an operating tool, said cut-out extending from the support plate (12) into the fixing part (4) and being left free by the closure elements (24).

The invention relates to a tile, in particular a carpet tile. The invention also relates to the use a tile according to the invention as floor tile, wall tile, or ceiling tile. The invention further relates to a tile covering consisting of a plurality of tiles according to the invention. The invention additionally relates to a carpet covering consisting of at least one carpet tile according to the invention.

A tile, in particular a carpet tile, is disclosed. Further, the use of a tile as floor tile, wall tile, or ceiling tile is disclosed. A tile covering including a plurality of tiles according to the disclosure is disclosed. A carpet covering including at least one carpet tile according to the disclosure is disclosed.

Discrete electronic modules, such as display tiles, designed and configured to be mosaicked and operatively connected with one another and/or to one or more differing types of discrete electronic modules. In some embodiments, the electronic modules are electrically connected together using electrical connector units that are separate and distinct from the electronic modules. In some embodiments, the connector units are connector biscuits. In some embodiments, the connector units are hub connectors. Connector units of the present disclosure can be designed and configured to allow an electronic module connected thereby and part of a panel of display tiles to be installed and removed by moving the module only in a direction normal to a viewing face of the panel at that module.

Discrete electronic modules, such as display tiles, designed and configured to be mosaicked and operatively connected with one another and/or to one or more differing types of discrete electronic modules. In some embodiments, the electronic modules include one or more recessed receptacles along their edges that receive corresponding connector biscuits that operatively connect abutting or confronting electronic modules with one another and/or to a controller. In some embodiments, the sizes of the recessed receptacles and connector biscuits are precisely matched so that the biscuits participate in aligning the abutting or confronting display tiles with one another. In some embodiments, the recessed receptacles are provided in recesses in the backsides of the display tiles, which allows each tile to be easily installed and removed from a display mosaic of which the tile is part.

Mounting brackets used for mounting decorative panels to walls is provided. The mounting brackets may each include a substantially planar body having a front surface, a rear surface, a top end and a bottom end forming a height in between, and a first end and a second end, forming a length in between. The mounting brackets further include at least one hook rail protruding from the front surface of the body at an angle relative to the front surface. The hook rail runs along at least a portion of the length of the body. A hook rail of a first bracket interlocks with a hook rail of a second bracket when the second bracket is disposed in an upside position relative to the first bracket.
