Abstract

The tile (D) is attached to a base layer (B) which provides a thermal insulation and which is provided with a bedding layer. The edges of the base layer have lugs (3) which are positioned asymmetrically to form a laying pattern with adjacent tiles. The grouting compound secures the tiles. The tiles overlap the base layers to form a profiled keying cross-section for the grout. The jointing lugs are shortened to enable the tiles to be laid with compensation for tolerances.

Description

Die Erfindung betrifft Fliesen und Platten für Bodenbeläge und Wandbekleidungen. Diese Fliesen und Platten berücksichtigen insbesondere deren Verlegung in das Dünnbett nach dem Floating-Verfahren gemaß DIN 18156,Teil 1,Ziff.3.4.1,unter Verwendung üblicher Kleber.
Fliesen und Platten werden auf bautechnischem Untergrund,wie er vorwiegend im Hochbau vorhanden ist,oft auf Fuge geklebt verlegt.Danach werden die Fugen durch Einschlämmen bzw.Einwaschen mit Fugenmörtel verfüllt.Dies erfolgt nach dem Fachnormenregelwerk-DIN 18352,Ziff.3.5-Fugen.
Damit der Fugenmörtel auf dem bautechnischen Untergrund eigenschaftlich haften kann,demnach Haftkraft (Adhäsion) erlangt, muß vor dem Einschlämmen bzw.Einwaschen des Fugenmörtels der bautechnische Untergrund im Fugenbereich vom Kleberrest frei gemacht werden. Dazu sind die Fugen auszukratzen und zu säubern.Dies ist sowohl bei Bodenbelägen als auch Wandbekleidungen sehr umständlich.Es stellt einen aufwendigen,zeitlich an die Erhärtung des Klebers gebundenen zusätzlichen Arbeitsgang dar.Dieser ist aber unabdingbar,um einen in der EN 26927--Ziff.2.15 begrifflich festgelegten Adhäsionsbruch ausreichend vorzubeugen, dem sogenannten Ablösen des Fugenmörtels vom bautechnischen Untergrund.
Demgegenüber hat sich die Erfindung die technische Aufgabe gestellt,für Bodenbeläge und Wandbekleidungen gattungsgleiche Fliesen und Platten zu schaffen,welche das Erfordernis erfüllen,die Fugenmörtel-Haftkraft durch eine Widerlagerkraft zu ersetzen,also eine Fugenmörtel-Widerlagerung ermöglichen.
Diese technische Aufgabe wird bei einer gattungsgemäßen Einrichtung durch das kennzeichnende Merkmal nach Patentanspruch 1 gelöst.
Die Seitenflächen-Abschrägung bewirkt,nach dem Verlegen der mit ihr ausgestatteten Fliesen und Platten auf Fuge ins Klebebett einen umzeichnet trapezförmigen Fugenmörtelquerschnitt mit zum bautechnischen Untergrund hin gerichteten und abschrägungsentsprechend gespreitzten die teilweise Fugenflanke darstellenden Schenkeln,die Fugenmörtel-Widerlagerung.The invention relates to tiles for flooring and wall coverings. These tiles in particular take into account their laying in the thin bed using the floating process according to DIN 18156, Part 1, Section 3.4.1, using conventional adhesives.
Tiles and slabs are often laid on a joint on a structural base, such as that which is predominantly used in building construction, after which the joints are filled in by grouting or washing in with joint mortar. This is done in accordance with the technical standards regulation DIN 18352, section 3.5 joints.
So that the grout can adhere to the structural substrate, thus gaining adhesive strength, the structural substrate in the joint area must be cleared of adhesive residue before the grout is washed in or washed in. For this purpose, the joints have to be scraped out and cleaned, which is very cumbersome for both floor coverings and wall coverings. It is a complex additional work step, which is dependent on the time the hardening of the adhesive takes place .2.15 to adequately prevent conceptually determined adhesion breakage, the so-called detachment of the grout from the structural substrate.
In contrast, the invention has set itself the technical task of creating tiles and plates of the same type for floor coverings and wall coverings, which meet the requirement to replace the adhesive strength of the grout by an abutment force, that is, to enable a jointing of the grout.
This technical problem is solved in a generic device by the characterizing feature of claim 1.
After the tiles and slabs equipped with them have been laid on the joint in the adhesive bed, the bevel on the side surfaces creates a trapezoidal grout cross-section with the sides that are directed towards the constructional surface and accordingly beveled, the thighs that partially represent the joint flank, the joint grout abutment.

Die mit dieser Erfindung erzielbaren Vorteile sind wirtschaftlicher Art und bestehen insbesondere darin,die vorwiegend im Dünnbett nach dem Floating-Verfahren zu verlegenden Fliesen und Platten geschaffen zu haben,aufgrund deren das ansonsten erforderliche Auskratzen und Säubern der Fugen von Kleberresten vor dem Verfugen der Bodenbeläge und Wandbekleidungen entfällt.The advantages that can be achieved with this invention are economical and consist, in particular, in having created the tiles that are predominantly to be laid in the thin bed using the floating method, on the basis of which the otherwise necessary scraping and cleaning of the joints from adhesive residues before the flooring and grouting is done Wall cladding is eliminated.

Mit diesem Vorteil ist die Erweiterung des Standes der Technik verbunden,für Fugenmörtel die an sich unbestimmte Haftkraft durch eine sichere Widerlagerkraft ersetzt zu haben. Zudem werden Arbeits-und Materialkosten eingespart sowie Materialentfall und dessen Entsorgung vermieden und schließlich die Herstellungs-/ Betriebszeit bedeutend verringert.
Soferne es sich um keramische Fliesen und Platten,aber auch um solche aus Kunststein oder Kunststoff handelt,kann die Anformung der Seitenflächen-Abschrägung mit der Fertigung umstandslos einhergehen. Einer Verwirklichung der Seitenflächen-Abschrägung steht daher technischerseits nichts entgegen.This advantage is associated with the expansion of the state of the art in having replaced the inherently undetermined adhesive force by a safe abutment force for grout. In addition, labor and material costs are saved, material waste and its disposal are avoided, and finally the manufacturing / operating time is significantly reduced.
If it is ceramic tiles, but also those made of artificial stone or plastic, the molding of the side surface bevel can go hand in hand with the production. From a technical point of view, there is nothing to prevent the side surface from being chamfered.

Ein Ausführungsbeispiel der Erfindung in der am häufigsten verwendeten rechteckigen Flächenform ist in den Zeichnungen schematisch dargestellt und wird im folgenden näher beschrieben sowie erläutert:

An embodiment of the invention in the most frequently used rectangular surface shape is shown schematically in the drawings and is described and explained in more detail below:
Fig. 1
shows the object of the invention in spatial representation.
Fig. 2
shows in spatial representation
the corners of two objects of the invention laid side by side on a joint,
the outlined trapezoidal grout cross-section, as it is caused by the drawing of the subject of the invention completely exposed from the side surface bevel,
the adhesive bed with a slant that runs obliquely to the direction of the joint, which remains in the joint area as residual adhesive
and
the technical background is drawn.

Der Erfindungsgegenstand (Fig.1) unterscheidet sich von den bisherigen Fliesen und Platten nur mit seiner merkmalkennzeichnenden Seitenflächen-Abschrägung (1) Dadurch (Fig.2) entsteht bei auf dem bautechnischen Untergrund (U) und auf Fuge nebeneinander verlegten erfindungsgemäßen Fliesen und Platten (D) ein umrissen trapezförmiger Fugenquerschnitt,bzw. dieser mit Fugenmörtel verfüllt,ein ebensolcher Fugenmörtelquerschnitt (Q).Das Klebebett (B) soll eine schräglaufend zur Fugenrichtung ausgeführte Abkämmung (K) erhalten,dann die geschaffene Fugenmörtel-Widerlagerung flächenhaft gleichmäßig über die gesamte Fugenlänge verteilt ansteht.Die erfindungsgemäßen Fliesen und Platten (D) werden beim Verlegen fest ins Klebebett (B) gedrückt.Dieses bleibt im Fugenbereich dabei mit der Abkämmung (K) als Kleberrest (R) erhalten.Letzterer seiner Höhe nach stets innerhalb der Seitenflächen-Abschrägung (1) liegend,ist über die gesamte Fugenlänge immer eine Fugenmörtel-Widerlagerung vorhanden.The subject matter of the invention (FIG. 1) differs from the previous tiles and slabs only with its characteristic side bevel (1). This (FIG. 2) results in tiles and slabs according to the invention which are laid next to one another on the structural base (U) and on the joint ( D) an outlined trapezoidal joint cross section, or. The adhesive bed (B) should be given a slant (K) that runs obliquely to the direction of the joint, then the created joint mortar abutment will be evenly distributed over the entire length of the joint. The tiles and plates according to the invention ( D) are pressed firmly into the adhesive bed (B) during installation, which remains in the joint area with the comb (K) as adhesive residue (R), the height of which is always within the side surface bevel (1) over the entire area A mortar abutment is always available.

Der Erfindungsgegenstand dient,auf Fuge ins Dünnbett im Floating-Verfahren geklebt verlegt,sowie durch Einschlämmen bzw. Einwaschen des Fugenmörtels verfugt,der Herstellung von Bodenbelägen und Wandbekleidungen,im Gegensatz zu anhaftendem mit widergelagertem Fugenmörtelstrang.Selbstverständlich kann der Erfindungsgegenstand auch unter Anwendung jedes anderen, beliebigen Arbeitsverfahrens verlegt werden.The subject of the invention, laid on a joint in the thin bed using the floating method and grouted by slurrying or washing in the grout, is used for the production of floor coverings and wall coverings, in contrast to adhesive with a superimposed strand of grout. Of course, the object of the invention can also be used using any work process.

Der Erfindungsgegenstand ist gleichartig den bisherigen gattungsgleichen Fliesen und Platten absehbar ohne weiteres industriell wirtschaftlich herzustellen,kann desgleichen unbedenklich tranportiert,gelagert und aus behördlich zugelassenem Werkstoff bestehend jederzeit verwendet werden,ist somit ohne weiteres einschlägig von Industrie,Handel oder Handwerk gewerblich anwendbar.The subject of the invention is similar to the previous generic tiles and plates foreseeable without further industrial cost-effectiveness, can also be safely transported, stored and used at any time from officially approved material, and is therefore readily applicable to industry, trade or craft.

Zusammengefaßt wird gegenüber dem Stand der Technik bei Fliesen und Platten im wesentlichen der Vorteil erzielt, daß bei Verlegung derselben ins Dünnbett mit angewendetem Floating-Verfahren das Auskratzen und Säubern der Fugen von Kleberresten entfällt.Dies erfolgt mit Maßgabe des Ersatzes der an sich unbestimmten Haftkraft des Fugenmörtels auf dem bautechnischen Untergrund durch eine sichere Widerlagerkraft, für welche die Fliesen und Platten das Widerlager selber sind. So werden bei der Ausführung von Bodenbelägen und Wandbekleidungen mit den erfindungsgemäßen Fliesen und Platten
Arbeits-sowie Materialkosten eingespart,
Materialentfall und dessen Entsorgung vermieden und schließlich die
Herstellungs- / Betriebszeit bedeutend verringert.
