A wedge device for leveling tiles and a clip set for use of the same are disclosed. In one embodiment of the wedge device, the wedge device includes a body having an attachment end, a penetrating edge, a top, and a bottom. The attachment end is coupled to a backstop member and the penetrating edge is configured to penetrate the clip member. The body includes an inclined plane tapering from the attachment end to the penetrating edge. A line-of-sight opening extends along a longitudinal axis of the body to provide visibility through the body from the top to the bottom.
TILE ALIGNMENT AND LEVELING DEVICE AND METHOD FOR USING SAME
A tile leveling and alignment system for use in aligning and leveling a plurality of tiles, comprising a tile leveling and aligning device, a vertical leveling hand device, a horizontal leveling device and an optional slip ring/spacer device. The tile leveling and aligning device comprising a base portion integrally coupled to a stem portion projecting upwards from the base portion. The base portion adapted for engaging a bottom surface of a number of tiles to be leveled and aligned. The stem portion comprising a central aperture and one or more spacer legs or fins, each spacer leg extending transversely from the central aperture. Each spacer leg defining a joint width between adjacent tiles to be leveled and aligned. Each spacer leg dividing the tile leveling and aligning device into equal sized areas of common shape and defining a joint width between adjacent tiles to be leveled and aligned.
LEVELING SPACER DEVICE
A leveling spacer device (10) for laying sheet-like products (P) for the coating of surfaces which comprises: a base (20), which may be positioned at the rear of a laying surface of at least two sheet-like products (P) being adjacent and placed side-by-side relative to a side-by-side direction (A); a separator element (30) rising from said base (20) angled relative thereto and suitable for sliding between the facing side walls of said two sheet-like products (P) placed side by side; a threaded stem (40) rising from the separator element (30) with a screw axis (B) orthogonal to the base (20); a presser (50) that can be screwed onto the threaded stem (40) and an anti-sliding protection ring nut (60) suitable for being interposed between the presser (50) and the base (20), wherein the protection ring nut (60) comprises a first surface (610) facing towards the presser (50) and configured to come into contact therewith and a second opposing surface (611) facing towards the base (20), wherein the second surface (611) has a sliding friction coefficient greater than a sliding friction coefficient of the first surface (610).
SPACER FOR LAYING TILES, BRICKS AND THE LIKE WITH THE INTERPOSITION OF GAPS
A spacer for laying tiles, bricks and the like with the interposition of gaps includes a plate-like body open internally with at least one spacing protrusion that protrudes outward from the body and defines the width of a respective gap. At least one first spacing protrusion protrudes outwardly and from at least one of the two opposite faces of the body along an arrangement that is perpendicular to the arrangement of the body.
Interconnectable Tiling System
A tile system for covering a surface. The tile system comprises a first tile assembly connected to a second tile assembly by a connector. Each tile assembly comprises a first tile stacked on a second tile, the first tile and the second tile joined to a reinforcing material disposed therebetween. The connector comprises a first component and a second component that is complementary to the first component. The first component is mounted to the first tile assembly, and the second component is mounted to the second tile assembly.
CERAMIC TILE LEVELING BRACKET, PUSHING AND CLAMPING PLIERS AND CERAMIC TILE LEVELING AND LAYING SYSTEM
Disclosed are a ceramic tile leveling bracket, pushing and clamping pliers and a ceramic tile leveling and laying system. The ceramic tile leveling and laying system comprises: a ceramic tile leveling bracket (1), an insertion block (2) and pushing and clamping pliers (3), wherein the ceramic tile leveling bracket (1) is provided at the junction between two adjacent ceramic tiles (4), one end of the insertion block (2) is inserted into an insertion block through hole (16) of the ceramic tile leveling bracket (1), and the pushing and clamping pliers (3) push and clamp the insertion block (2) into the insertion block through hole (16), so that an insertion block bottom surface (21) is tangent to upper surfaces of the two ceramic tiles (4). The ceramic tile leveling and laying system is easy to operate, and helps to improve the laying efficiency and laying quality.
TILE SPACER AND WEDGE TOOL
A tile spacer and wedge tool for installation of tile work. The tool includes a center surface from which one or more of a cross element and a bar element protrude form the center surface. The elements have a width corresponding to a desired spacing between adjoining tiles. An integrally formed wedge extends radially outwardly from a side of the spacer and wedge tool and is substantially aligned with the center surface. The combined tile spacer and wedge tool provides a single spacing tool that may be used for any aspect of a tile work installation, allowing the installer to carry only a single tool. The tile spacer and wedge tool have a more robust construction than conventional spacers, allowing them to be reused for installation work for an indefinite number of uses.
KNOB COUPLABLE TO A SPACER-LEVELLER OF TILES FOR LAYING THE TILES ON FLAT SURFACES
A knob is screwable to a tile spacer-leveler for together defining a tile alignment device. The knob comprises (i) a body, (ii) elastically-deformable connectors on the knob body, (iii) first and second fixing elements comprising respective threaded slots, supported by the connectors and arrangeable in a first arrangement wherein the threaded rod of a tile separator can be inserted into and removed from the threaded slots without screwing in a second arrangement in which the rod insertion and removal takes place only by screwing, (iv) a blocking element separated from the knob body for elastically deforming the connectors to change the arrangement of the first and second fixing elements to (a) insert the rod between the threaded slots of the first and second fixing means without screw-tightening thereof, (b) screw the knob to the threaded rod with the fixing elements in the second arrangement to align the tiles, and (c) remove the threaded rod without screwing.
Floor Mat Puzzle
A floor mat puzzle, forming a non-rectangular isometric polygonal mat, has a plurality of edges and a same number of corners as the edges, each corner disposed between two edges. Each edge has at least one engaging protrusion and at least one concavity, each edge further has a first corner protrusion and a second corner protrusion at two corners, and a corresponding first corner concavity and a corresponding second corner concavity provided respectively adjacent to the first corner protrusion and the second corner protrusion.
