WEDGE SYSTEM WITH FRICTION ISOLATION PLATES
The system includes receivers and wedges. Each receiver has a base and a perpendicularly-extending hook having an aperture. Each hook is disposed as a spacer between a pair of tiles in an array laid in bedding, to provide for side-by-side tile spacing. The base is disposed beneath the pair. Each wedge has a clamping surface and a ribbed gripping surface orientated angularly thereto. Each wedge extends through the aperture such that: the pair is captured between the base and wedge, with the clamping surface disposed in coplanar relation to the pair; the gripping surface grips the receiver, to resist wedge withdrawal and maintain the clamped engagement until the bedding has cured. The gripping surface width is less than the wedge width. The hook has a wall that defines one edge of aperture, is opposite to and presents towards the planar element in perpendicular relation. The wall fits between the ribs.
LEVELER FOR TILES
Disclosed is a leveler that is able to bring two or more tiles it is in contact with to the same level.
Configurable tile leveler
For leveling tiles, a tile leveler includes a base, a plurality of joint spacers, and two or more break lines. The brake lines are formed in the base along planar axes. Each joint spacer is within a subdivision distance of a break line. Each joint spacer adjacent to a given break line is on a spacer side of the given break line, and the break lines divide the base into sections.
Leveling clip and tile leveling device for use of same
A leveling clip and tile leveling device for use of the same are disclosed. In one embodiment, the leveling clip includes a body defining an opening that is configured to accept a wedge device thereat. Tapered legs extend from the body and join a base at a base to body coupling. The base extends to a front and a rear of the body. The base to body coupling includes a frangible breakaway section that is integral prior to frangible separation and the frangible breakaway section, upon breaking, frangibly separates the body from the base. The leveling clip may be used with the wedge device to install two, three, or four tiles.
MULTI-PURPOSE TILE SPACING TOOL
A multi-purpose tile spacing tool is disclosed. The multi-purpose tile spacing tool provides multiple functions; including obtaining a desired grout gap spacing between adjoining tiles, a lipping alignment surface tool, and a wedge for urging tiles into a desired alignment. The multi-purpose tile spacing tool includes an elongate plate having a width corresponding to a desired grout gap. A first end has a blunt squared profile of a uniform thickness, and a second end has a tapered edge for wedging tile alignments. A first multi-purpose tile spacing tool is joinable with a second via a first notch defined at an intermediate position of a bottom edge of the elongate plate with a second notch defined along a top edge to provide for a corner tool between adjoining tiles.
Tile lippage control and tile spacing system and method therefore
A tile lippage control and tile spacing system provides a spacer post having a base member, a shaft, and a breakaway connection between the base member and the shaft; and a leveler that releasably and adjustably engages with the spacer post shaft, the leveler having a friction plate, a foot ring and an engager; and the leveler is both axially and rotatably engageable with the spacer post shaft.
TILE LEVELING DEVICE
For leveling tile, a tile leveling device includes a tower, a base, and two leveling ridges. The tower includes a cross piece and two struts that extend in a distal direction along a first axis from the cross piece. The base is connected to the two struts at a base intersection and extending along a traverse axis from the two struts, the base comprising two side edges, two front edges, and four diagonal cutouts, wherein the two side edges are each perpendicular to both the two front edges, a diagonal cutout is between each side edge and front edge pair at a diagonal angle and each strut comprises a notch along a break line at an outer intersection. The two leveling ridges are disposed on a proximal surface of the base.
FLOOR TILE LEVELLING DEVICE
A system for the levelling of floor tiles, comprising: a separation post incorporating: a base component, a separator component and a threaded shaft; and a threaded cap with: a hollow dome-shaped body, a lower cylindrical component, an upper hub with a central female thread for the assembly thereof on said threaded shaft, and a number of lateral openings separated by a plurality of ribs with a substantially U-shaped structural cross-section, and comprising:—a smooth external web, with no protruding wings or extensions, of increasing width in a downward direction toward a first lateral end with a curved concave profile,—a first wing and a second wing that extend toward the interior of the cap from lateral ends of the web of the ribs and forming ergonomical surfaces for exerting pressure on the cap in the direction of tightening and loosening of the cap.
Levelling spacer device for slabs
A levelling spacer device for laying slab-shaped products including a base having a lower surface and an opposite upper surface defining a support plane for at least two tiles placed side by side, which is placed at a first distance from the lower surface, a spacer bridge provided with two legs placed side by side between each other along a flanking direction and each one rising from a portion of the opposite upper surface. Each leg is frangibly connected to the respective base portion by a predefined fracture line placed at a second distance from the lower surface greater than the first distance. A crosspiece, joins the top of the two legs, and a through opening peripherally delimited at the top by the crosspiece, laterally by the legs and at the bottom by a central portion of the upper surface coplanar with the support plane.
