FLEXIBLE SELF-STICKING MOSAIC TILE AND METHOD FOR MANUFACTURING SAME
Flexible mosaic tiles and methods for manufacturing same are disclosed. A mold cavity of a mold element may have a cavity floor, a facing edge, perimeter wall surfaces extending therebetween, and a cavity volume. A layer of gel medium may be applied to the perimeter wall surfaces and allowed to dry. A volume of pouring medium is poured into the mold cavity. A volume of one or more fluid pigments is inserted into the mold cavity. The volume of pouring medium and the volume of fluid pigment are blended together. The blended volumes are allowed to set for a setting period. The blended volumes cure for a curing period in a curing environment, thereby forming a mosaic tile. The mosaic tile is removed from the mold cavity. A peel-and-stick backing may be applied to the rear of the mosaic tile for facilitating attachment of the mosaic tile to a substrate.

Machine for the production of ceramic products
A machine (1) for the production of ceramic products includes: a mould (2) made up of two parts (3, 4) designed to define, in a closed configuration, a cavity for casting the product; an apparatus (5) for clamping and containing the mould (2) acting on the mould (2) in its closed configuration; a frame (7) for supporting the mould (2) and clamping and containing apparatus (5). The machine includes a supporting base, interposed between the supporting frame (7) and a walkable surface (P), having a first portion (8) pivoted to the frame (7) to allow the supporting frame (7) to rotate relative to the walkable surface (P) and a second portion (9), spaced from the first portion (8) and equipped with at least one actuator element (10, 11) connected to the supporting frame (7) to incline the supporting frame (7) at least from a first limit operating position, where the supporting frame (7) is inclined by a first angle (? or ?) relative to the walkable surface (P), to a second limit operating position, where the supporting frame (7) is inclined by a second angle (? or ?) which is different from the first angle (? or ?), relative to the walkable surface (P).
