Description

Technical Field

[0001] This disclosure relates to the field of decorative grout technology, and in particular to masking tape. Background Technology

[0002] In related technologies, before filling the gaps between tiles with grout, a preparatory step is performed to ensure that the grouting process does not affect the tile surface. This involves applying masking tape to the edges of the tiles near the gap to isolate the grout from the tile surface and prevent the grout from sticking to the tile edges and contaminating the tiles during the grouting process. However, the common method of applying masking tape during grouting preparation is to use masking tape to stick it to the edges of the tiles one by one, or to directly cover the two adjacent edges of two adjacent tiles with masking tape and then use a utility knife to cut off the area covered by the masking tape to expose the gap for subsequent grouting. This method is cumbersome and results in low efficiency in the grouting preparation process. Summary of the Invention

[0027] In related technologies, before filling the gaps between tiles with grout, a preparatory step is performed to ensure that the grouting process does not affect the tile surface. This involves applying masking tape to the edges of the tiles near the gap to isolate the grout from the tile surface and prevent the grout from sticking to the tile edges and contaminating the tiles during the grouting process. However, the common method of applying masking tape during grouting preparation is to use masking tape to stick it to the edges of the tiles one by one, or to directly cover the two adjacent edges of two adjacent tiles with masking tape and then use a utility knife to cut off the area covered by the masking tape to expose the gap for subsequent grouting. This method is cumbersome and results in low efficiency in the grouting preparation process.

[0028] In view of this, the present disclosure provides a masking tape that, after being pasted onto multiple bricks, can expose the intersecting gaps by directly tearing open the pre-configured tearing area, thereby improving the construction efficiency of the preparatory work for grouting.

[0029] Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of the arrangement of multiple bricks 900 according to an embodiment of this disclosure. Figure 2 This is a schematic diagram of masking tape applied to multiple bricks 900 according to the first embodiment of this disclosure. (See attached diagram.) Figure 1 and Figure 2 In this embodiment of the disclosure, masking tape is used to adhere to a plurality of bricks 900 separated by intersecting gaps 91. Optionally, the bricks 900 may be ceramic tiles, such as tiles laid during decoration.

[0030] Among them, see Figure 2 The masking tape includes at least one sticker layer. The sticker layer includes a plurality of adhesive areas 11. The plurality of adhesive areas 11 are spaced apart from each other and are used to be adhered to the plurality of bricks 900 in a one-to-one correspondence.

[0031] Optionally, an adhesive layer is pressed onto the surface of the adhesive area 11, thereby enabling it to be adhered to the surface of the brick 900.

[0032] The plurality of adhesive areas 11 are connected by tearable areas 12 that can be torn off.

[0033] Optionally, the tearable area 12 is implemented as a non-adhesive area, without any stickiness. Thus, when the tearable area 12 is manually torn away from the plurality of adhesive areas 11, the hand will not stick, making it easy to discard the torn area 12. For example, the non-adhesive area is implemented as a glue-free area with a smooth, glue-free surface, making it difficult for the hand to stick when tearing.

[0034] Optionally, a tear line 13 with a tear strength lower than that of the tear area 12 and the plurality of adhesive areas 11 is provided between the tear area 12 and the plurality of adhesive areas 11. Therefore, when the tear area 12 is forcefully torn, the tear area 12 and the plurality of adhesive areas 11 are easily broken at the tear line 13, causing the tear area 12 to break away from the plurality of adhesive areas 11 at the tear line 13, thereby allowing the tear area 12 to be torn apart from the plurality of adhesive areas 11.

[0035] Optionally, the tear line 13 is implemented as a pre-drilled tear line. The pre-drilled tear line includes a plurality of holes 131 spaced apart along its extension trajectory. Therefore, due to the presence of the plurality of holes 131, the tear resistance at the pre-drilled tear line is lower than that at the adhesive area 11 and the tearing area 12. During tearing, the pre-drilled tear line is prone to breakage, causing the tearing area 12 to break off from the plurality of adhesive areas 11 at the pre-drilled tear line, thereby causing the tearing area 12 to be torn apart from the plurality of adhesive areas 11.

[0036] Optionally, the tear line 13 is implemented as a weak crease line, the thickness of which is lower than that of the tear area 12 and the adhesive area 11. Therefore, due to its thinner thickness, the tear resistance at the weak crease line is lower than that of the adhesive area 11 and the tear area 12, making it more prone to breakage during tearing. This causes the tear area 12 to break off at the weak crease line from multiple adhesive areas 11, thereby separating the tear area 12 from the multiple adhesive areas 11.

[0037] The tearing area 12 includes multiple separate sub-tear sections or multiple integral sub-tear sections. Therefore, when the multiple sub-tear sections are integrally connected, when the tearing area 12 is torn, the multiple sub-tear sections can be torn apart integrally, thus improving tearing efficiency. Of course, it is understood that the multiple sub-tear sections can also be connected separately and separated from each other, allowing the multiple sub-tear sections to be torn apart individually multiple times.

[0038] Optionally, the intersecting seam 91 includes multiple seam segments. The tearing area 12 includes multiple sub-tear portions corresponding to and covering the multiple seam segments. The multiple adhesive areas 11 are distributed in pairs on opposite sides of the sub-tear portions, thereby facilitating the adhesion of two bricks 900 on opposite sides of the multiple seam segments, and thus facilitating subsequent tearing of the tearing area 12 from the middle of the two bricks 900.

[0039] Optionally, see Figure 1 and Figure 2 The intersecting joint 91 includes a first joint segment 91a and a second joint segment 91b perpendicularly intersecting the first joint segment 91a. That is, a first joint segment 91a and a second joint segment 91b perpendicularly intersecting the first joint segment 91a are formed between multiple bricks 900, thus forming a cross-shaped joint. The first joint segment 91a and the second joint segment 91b can be one of a longitudinal joint and a transverse joint, respectively.

[0040] The plurality of sub-tear portions include a first sub-tear portion 121 and a second sub-tear portion 122 perpendicularly intersecting the first sub-tear portion 121, which are respectively used to cover the first seam segment 91a and the second seam segment 91b.

[0041] Multiple adhesive areas 11 are distributed in pairs on opposite sides of the first sub-tearable portion 121, and also in pairs on opposite sides of the second sub-tearable portion 122. Thus, after the sticker layer is adhered to the multiple bricks 900 and the tearable areas 12 are peeled off, a cross-shaped gap between the multiple bricks 900 is exposed. Therefore, the sticker layer of this embodiment facilitates the preparation of grout sealing for the multiple bricks 900 around the cross-shaped gap.

[0042] Optionally, the masking tape is formed by cross-attaching multiple sticker layers, and the multiple tear areas 12 of the multiple sticker layers are combined to form a shape that corresponds to and fits the cross gaps 91.

[0043] Figures 3a to 3d This is a schematic diagram showing multiple states in which the first sticker layer 600 and the second sticker layer 700 are adhered to multiple bricks 900. (See attached diagram.) Figure 1 as well as Figures 3a to 3d When the intersecting gap 91 is a vertically intersecting cross-shaped gap, and the plurality of sticker layers include a first sticker layer 600 and a second sticker layer 700. In this embodiment of the present disclosure, the first sticker layer 600 and the second sticker layer 700 can be sequentially and respectively pasted onto the plurality of bricks 900. Specifically, when pasting the first sticker layer 600 and the second sticker layer 700 onto the plurality of regularly arranged bricks 900, the construction process can be as follows: Before the multiple bricks 900 are laid and the gaps between them are sealed, the first sticker layer 600 is first applied, as follows: Figure 1 and Figure 3a As shown, after pasting, the first pasting area 61 is pasted onto the first edge 92 (vertical edge) of the two columns of bricks 900, and the first tearing area 62 covers the intersecting gap 91. Then, the first tearing area 62 is peeled off, exposing the intersecting gap, thus revealing... Figure 3b The state shown. Then paste the second sticker layer 700, as shown. Figure 1 and Figure 3c As shown, after pasting, multiple second pasting areas 71 are pasted onto the second edges 93 (lateral edges) of the two rows of bricks 900, and double-cover the corners of the bricks 900, while the second tearing areas 72 cover the intersecting gaps 91. Finally, the second tearing areas 72 are peeled off, exposing the intersecting gaps 91 again, thus achieving the desired effect. Figure 3dThe state shown indicates that the grout preparation work is complete, and the grout sealant can be filled into the intersecting gaps to complete the grout sealant application.

[0044] In other examples, when the intersecting seam 91 is a perpendicular cross-shaped seam, and the multiple sticker layers include a first sticker layer 600 and a second sticker layer 700, the first sticker layer 600 and the second sticker layer 700 are perpendicularly pasted together, with the second sticker layer 700 directly pasted on top of the first sticker layer 600. Thus, the masking tape can be adhered to the brick 900 as a whole, and then peeled off sequentially from the second tear area 72 and the first tear area 62, thereby exposing the intersecting seam 91.

[0045] Specifically, during application, multiple first adhesive areas 61 of the first sticker layer 600 are used to adhere to multiple pairs of first edges 92, and the multiple first adhesive areas 61 are connected by first tear-away areas 62. Multiple second adhesive areas 71 of the second sticker layer 700 are used to adhere to multiple pairs of second edges 93, and the multiple second adhesive areas 71 are connected by second tear-away areas 72. The first tear-away areas 62 and the second tear-away areas 72 cover the intersecting seams 91 and combine to form a shape that corresponds and fits the intersecting seams 91. After application, the second tear-away areas 72 are peeled off first, followed by the first tear-away areas 62, thereby exposing the intersecting seams 91.

[0046] In the above example, since the brick 900 near the intersection of the intersecting gaps 91 can be double-covered by the overlapping first adhesive area 61 and the second adhesive area 71, the isolation effect at this location is better, and it is less affected by the application of sealant at the intersection of gaps. Furthermore, the construction efficiency of the above sealant preparation work is high.

[0047] The above embodiments are merely illustrative of the principles and effects of this disclosure and are not intended to limit this disclosure. Any person skilled in the art can modify or alter the above embodiments without departing from the spirit and scope of this disclosure. Therefore, all equivalent modifications or alterations made by those skilled in the art without departing from the spirit and technical concept disclosed in this disclosure should still be covered by the protection scope of this disclosure.
