Background Technology

[0003] Generally, when installing slabs such as tiles, stone, or marble on walls or floors, maintaining accurate horizontal alignment based on the bottom of the slab is a critical factor determining the quality of the installation. In particular, if the joint spacing between slabs is inconsistent or if a height difference occurs on the front surface of adjacent slabs during installation, not only is the overall finish appearance degraded, but additional corrective work becomes necessary.

[0004] In conventional panel construction, methods have generally been used in which panels are fitted manually one by one, relying on the skill level of the installer, or in which the position of the panels is adjusted using auxiliary means such as separate levels, wedges, or joint spacers. However, these methods increase construction time and cause quality variations depending on the installer. Prior art literature

Specific details for implementing the invention

[0021] The terms used in this application are used merely to describe specific embodiments and are not intended to limit the invention. The singular expression includes the plural expression unless the context clearly indicates otherwise. In this application, terms such as “comprising” or “having” are intended to specify the presence of the features, numbers, steps, actions, components, parts, or combinations thereof described in the specification, and should be understood as not precluding the existence or addition of one or more other features, numbers, steps, actions, components, parts, or combinations thereof, and should not be interpreted in an ideal or overly formal sense unless explicitly defined otherwise.

[0023] Hereinafter, a preferred embodiment of a horizontal adjustment device for plate construction according to the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the attached drawings.

[0025] FIG. 1 is a perspective view of the body portion of a horizontal adjustment device for plate construction according to the present invention, FIG. 2 is a cross-sectional view of the body portion of a horizontal adjustment device for plate construction according to the present invention, FIG. 3 is a perspective view of a horizontal adjustment device for plate construction according to the present invention with a support portion attached to the body portion, FIG. 4 to 7 are drawings showing the installation state of a horizontal adjustment device for plate construction according to the present invention, and FIG. 8 to 10 are drawings showing the state in which a protrusion portion and a pressure portion are installed in a horizontal adjustment device for plate construction according to the present invention.

[0027] Referring to FIGS. 1 to 10, the horizontal leveling device for panel construction according to the present invention is designed to support the lower end of a panel to maintain a horizontal level during overlay (adding to tiles using adhesive) or troweling (a method of attaching to tiles using mortar), and may include a body part (100), a support part (200), a protrusion part (300), and a pressure part (400).

[0028] The above body part (100) includes a contact part (110) that is in close contact with the surface where the plate (10) is to be installed, and a horizontal part (120) formed perpendicularly to the contact part (110) to support the lower end of the plate, and a reinforcing part (130) may be formed between the contact part (110) and the horizontal part (120) to secure rigidity against load.

[0029] An adhesive portion (140) for fixing to a construction surface may be formed on the above-mentioned contact portion (110), and the adhesive portion (140) may include double-sided tape, liquid adhesive, or various fixing means equivalent thereto.

[0030] For example, when performing overlay work on a wall surface where an existing panel has been installed, the leveling guide can be fixed to the installation surface (20) so as to be detachably attached through the adhesive part (140).

[0031] The horizontal portion (120) may be configured to be positioned at the bottom of a plate that is installed over one side to support the plate (10) and maintain a horizontal position, and the reinforcing portion (130) may be formed in a triangular shape on both sides of the contact portion (110) and the horizontal portion (120) to prevent the horizontal portion (120) from sagging or deforming due to the load of the plate (10).

[0032] Meanwhile, the plate (10) in the present invention may include not only lightweight ceramic tiles but also heavy stone plates such as marble or granite, and accordingly, the horizontal portion (120) is configured to stably support plates (10) of various loads, and the reinforcing portion (130) may be formed to prevent sagging or deformation caused by heavy plates.

[0033] For example, the above-mentioned plate (10) may be a ceramic tile used in a bathroom or kitchen, or a marble plate used in a commercial space or high-end interior, and the leveling device of the present invention is applicable to plates of various weights.

[0034] The support member (200) is formed with a threaded bolt and can be screw-coupled to a screw hole (150) formed through the horizontal portion (120) of the body portion (100).

[0035] Depending on the rotational operation of the support member (200), the body member (100) can move up and down along the length direction of the support member (200), and thereby the horizontal portion (120) of the body member (100) can be finely adjusted so as to be accurately positioned at the bottom of the plate (10).

[0036] With this structure, the builder can precisely adjust the position of the body part (100) according to the thickness and construction state of the plate (10), and can ensure that the bottom of the plate (10) is stably supported horizontally.

[0037] In particular, the support member (200) is provided in the form of a threaded bolt and is screw-coupled to the body member (100), so that even if the construction surface (20) is not flat or the contact portion (110) of the body member (100) is not in contact with the construction surface due to mortar-based troweling construction, the horizontal surface of the body member (100) can stably support the bottom of the plate by adjusting the length of the support member (200).

[0038] For example, in a construction site where the surface (20) is uneven or where mortar is applied to the back surface of a plate (10) and then troweling is performed, the contact portion (110) of the body portion (100) may not come into direct contact with the construction surface. At this time, by adjusting the position of the body portion (100) using the support portion (200) formed by a threaded bolt, the other side of the horizontal portion (120) of the body portion (100) can be made to support the bottom of the plate.

[0039] The horizontal leveling device for plate construction according to the present invention can be configured to be applicable to both overlay construction and floating construction environments.

[0040] First, referring to FIGS. 4 and 5, in the case of overlay construction, the horizontal adjustment member is fixed to the construction surface (20) through the adhesive portion (140) formed on the contact portion (110) of the body portion (100), so that the horizontal portion (120) of the body portion (100) can support the bottom of the plate (10).

[0041] Next, referring to FIGS. 6 and FIGS. 7, if the construction surface (20) is not flat or if mortar is applied to the back surface of the plate (10) to perform the troweling construction, it may be difficult for the contact portion (110) of the body portion (100) to be in direct contact with the construction surface (20). In this case, the position of the body portion (100) can be adjusted using a support portion (200) formed by a threaded bolt so that the horizontal portion (120) supports the bottom of the plate (10).

[0042] That is, the present invention can be configured to stably support the bottom of a plate even in different construction environments by selectively using at least one of the adhesive part (140) or the support part (200).

[0043] The above-mentioned protrusion (300) is formed to protrude upward from the upper surface of the above-mentioned horizontal portion (120), thereby maintaining a constant spacing between the plates (10) when a plurality of plates (10) are arranged on both sides, so that the joints between the plates (10) are automatically aligned and formed. That is, even without using a separate joint spacer, the installer can maintain a constant spacing between the plates (10) and the plates (10) by means of the above-mentioned protrusion (300), and the width of the joints can be formed uniformly.

[0044] In addition, the thickness or width of the above-mentioned protrusion (300) can be set to correspond to the width of the joint to be formed, and can be formed in various sizes as needed.

[0045] Referring to FIGS. 8 to 10, the pressure part (400) is formed in the shape of a square plate, and a fitting groove (410) is formed at the bottom so as to be fitted into the projection part (300).

[0046] The above-mentioned pressure member (400) is positioned to press the front surface of an adjacent plate (10) while fitted into the above-mentioned protrusion (300), thereby allowing the front surfaces of adjacent plate (10) to be positioned on the same line. That is, the pressure member (400) coupled to the fitting groove (410) formed in the above-mentioned protrusion (300) can press the plate (10) on both sides based on the above-mentioned protrusion (300) located between the plate (10), so that the front surfaces of adjacent plate (10) can be aligned on the same reference plane.

[0047] Accordingly, the height difference between the plates (10) that may occur during the construction of the plates (10) is minimized, and the front surface of the plates (10) is aligned flat, so that the quality of the appearance after construction can be improved.

[0048] Additionally, the pressure member (400) is detachably coupled to the projection member (300) so that it can be removed or reused after construction is completed.

[0049] The above-mentioned pressure member (400) is coupled to the protrusion member (300) to press the plate material (10), and may further include a clamping member (430) and a fixing member (420).

[0050] The above clamping part (430) is formed in the shape of a bolt and can be coupled to the above fixing member (420) in a screw manner. The above fixing member (420) is fixed to the horizontal part (120) of the body part (100) on each side based on the above protrusion part (300) and can be configured to support the clamping part (430) according to the rotation of the clamping part (430).

[0051] Accordingly, when the tightening part (430) is screw-tightened, the tightening part (430) moves axially relative to the fixing member (420) and presses the pressing part (400), and as a result, the pressing part (400) presses adjacent plates so that the front surfaces of adjacent plates are positioned on the same line.

[0052] Although a preferred embodiment of the present invention has been described above with reference to the attached drawings, those skilled in the art will understand that the present invention may be implemented in other specific forms without altering its technical concept or essential features. Therefore, the embodiment described above should be understood as illustrative in all respects and not restrictive. Explanation of the symbols
