AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

The patent describes a solution that makes it easier to lay tiles that have sharp edges. The solution helps ensure that the sharp edge is regular and homogeneous between the tiles and along the entire length of the surface. This is important because it matches the edge ends of the tiles and helps create a seamless appearance.

Problems solved by technology

In fact, it has been observed that inaccuracies, even minimal ones, in the laying of tiles at a sharp edge are difficult to correct or to avoid during the laying phase and remain particularly visible, as they occur in points that are easy for the human eye to identify.

Embodiment Construction

[0058]With particular reference to such figures, a supporting device for laying tiles, preferably configured to allow the (correct) mutual spacing and / or positioning of edges between tiles, indicated globally by the letter F, has been indicated globally by 10.

[0059]Each tile P is adapted to be laid to cover a surface, for example at a sharp edge (i.e. preferably an external edge), so as to cover it.

[0060]Each the P has a large laying surface P1, for example lower or rear, and an opposite large visible surface P2, for example upper or front, preferably of homologous shape (for example polygonal, preferably quadrangular) with respect to the laying surface P1.

[0061]Each tile P then comprises a plurality of lateral sidewalls P3, generally squared with the laying surface P1 and the visible surface P2, which laterally delimit the same tile.

[0062]Furthermore, in order to be able to cover the sharp edge and define, an additional covering sharp edge at the visible surface P2, each tile P com...

Abstract

A supporting device (10) for laying tiles comprising:a base (20);a separator element (30) projecting from the base; anda pusher element (50) adapted to cooperate with the separator element (30), wherein the base (20) comprises two flaps (23) arranged at opposite sides with respect to the separator element (30), wherein the flaps (23) are tilted between each other and form a dihedral angle lower than the straight angle opposite to the separator element (30).

Description

TECHNICAL FIELD[0001]The present invention relates to a supporting device for laying tiles, i.e. facilitating the laying of slab-like elements, such as tiles, slabs, ceramics or other materials. More particularly, the present invention relates to a supporting device for laying tiles, which can be used at sharp edges between two tiles.PRIOR ART[0002]As is known, various levelling spacer devices are known in the field of supporting devices for laying tiles, configured to space two or more adjacent tiles by a predetermined distance (called joint) and to ensure that the exposed surfaces thereof are coplanar.[0003]There are, for example, various types of levelling devices which differ essentially according to the pusher element, including wedge levelling spacer devices, screw levelling spacer devices, ring nut levelling spacer devices and ratchet levelling spacer devices.[0004]A need felt in the sector of laying tiles, whether they are used for floor and / or step coverings or for (vertica...
