An overhanging element comprising a basis provided for being applied on a surface raising pedestal, which basis is provided with a window which extend in a longitudinal manner in the basis, said window being dimensioned such that a wing which is part of an insert part applied on the pedestal can cross it and thus guide a translatory movement of the overhanging element with respect to the pedestal on which it is applied, which basis comprises at a first longitudinal end a stop member which extend substantially perpendicular with respect to the basis and which is is formed by at least one flap provided with a notch which extends over the height of the flap, the notch having a depth such as to enable a bending and/or a removal of a section of the flap situated between the notch and a distal end of the flap.

LEVELLING SPACER DEVICE FOR SLABS
20220025662 · 2022-01-27 ·

A levelling spacer device (10) for laying slab-shaped products (P) comprising: at least one base (20) having a lower surface (21) and an opposite upper surface (22) defining a support plane for at least two tiles (P) placed side by side, which is placed at a first distance (d1) from the lower surface (21); a spacer bridge (30) provided with: two legs (31) placed side by side between each other along a flanking direction and each one rising from a portion of the upper surface (22) of the base (20), wherein each leg (31) is frangibly connected to the respective base portion by a predefined fracture line (310) placed at a second distance (d2) from the lower surface (21) greater than the first distance (d1), wherein the fracture line (310) is formed by a longitudinal cut that is parallel to the flanking direction; and crosspiece (32), which joins the top of the two legs (31); and a through opening (40) adapted to be crossed by a pressure wedge (50) along a crossing direction (C) orthogonal to the flanking direction, wherein the through opening (40) is peripherally delimited at the top by the crosspiece (32) of the bridge (30), laterally by the legs (31) of the bridge (30) and at the bottom by a central portion (220) of the upper surface (22) of the base (20) coplanar with the support plane.

LEVELER FOR TILES
20210363765 · 2021-11-25 ·

Disclosed is a leveler to make coplanar the faces of two adjacent tiles (P) without using pincers or other tools. The leveler uses a disposable element and a wedge to be inserted in the disposable element, so as to push down the tiles and make them coplanar.

Tile spacing plate for lippage control
11214969 · 2022-01-04 · ·

A spacing plate for tile lippage control has a base plate and at least one spacing member extending perpendicularly from an upper surface thereof. At least one spacing member comprises a pair of parallel elongate spacer walls defining parallel outer facing spacing control faces and the elongate spacer walls are spaced apart to define an elongate gap therebetween. As such, the spacing members may flexibly slightly to account for slight horizontal misalignments. Furthermore, edges of the baseplate may comprise cutouts dividing the baseplate into independently flexing leaves which can flexibly engage under individual tiles to account for slight vertical misalignments.
