Abstract
Description
- The present invention relates to a tiled wall assembly.
- Heretofore, in a support structure for a tiled wall assembly, tiles have been secured to a board such as a cement board. In this construction, when water enters from the outside of the tiles to the inside of the tiles, the water collects on the board, and penetrates the board and enters into the inside of the building. The soaked board is also caused to warp, as it is affected by changes when the board dries out. Also the water entering between the inside of the tile and the outside of the board stays therebetween, and causes further damage upon freezing.
- In another example of a prior art construction for a tiled wall assembly, a plate made for example of aluminium is securely applied by nails to a board which constitutes a wall of a building. A wall assembly is constructed by hanging tiles on protrusions formed on the plate by projecting protrusions from the plate. This construction requires the steps of fixing the plate on the board, and fixing the tiles upon the plate, thus, producing the problem of many work processes.
- In Patent specification DE-U-8 806 379 (Schroter) there is disclosed a
panel assembly 1 provided with protrusions 2 and cladding elements 7 mounted on thepanel 1. Each protrusion 2 has an upper portion having the shape of an upwardly directed hook and each cladding element 7 has an upper portion having the shape of a downwardly directed hook. Each cladding element 7 has on the inside thereof an engaging groove terminating at its upper side in the said downwardly directed hook. The cladding elements 7 are mounted on the protrusion 2 by sliding the elements 7 along the protrusion 2. - In Patent specification US-A-4 803 821 (Motokatsu Funaki) a tiled wall structure comprises a
mounting plate 30 adapted to be fixed on a wall base of a building, and a holding plate 32 having engagement elements 52 on which are mounted tile blocks 34. The holding plate 32 has protrusions 54 having the shape of an upwardly directed hook. Each tile block 34 has two recesses 78, each terminating at its upper side in a downwardly directed hook. Each tile block 34 is mounted on the upwardly directed hook of a protrusion 54, and is secured at its lower end by a press pawl 56. - It is an object of the present invention to provide a tiled wall assembly which permits of easier and more satisfactory assembly than the prior art.
- Another object of this invention in one aspect is to provide a support structure for a tiled wall assembly in which water entering into the inside of the tiles can flow out readily, making the work easy.
- According to the present invention there is provided a tiled wall assembly comprising a tile-hanging board provided with a plurality of protrusions, and a plurality of tiles mounted on the board, each protrusion having an upper portion having the shape of an upwardly directed hook, and each tile having on the inside of the tile an engaging groove terminating at its upper side in a downwardly directed hook, each tile being hung by its downwardly directed hook on the upwardly directed hook of a protrusion, characterized in that each protrusion on the board and each engaging groove on a tile are shaped to co-operate so that the tile can be hung on the protrusion by movement of the tile towards the board, and in that a lower inside portion of each tile is secured to the board by adhesive.
- In accordance with one preferred feature of the invention, the protrusions engage the inside of the tiles in such a manner as to support each tile so that the inside of it is spaced from the surface of the board. In such arrangements, preferably the adhesive is positioned in the said spacing between the tile and the board.
- In accordance with another preferred feature, the surface of the board is indented between the protrusions to form drain slots.
- The board may have a plurality of vertical and lateral drain slots formed on the surface of the board.
- In accordance with yet another preferred feature, each protrusion maybe formed by a part separate from the board and secured to the board to form the said protrusion.
- In some arrangement, tiles adjacent vertically to each other may be coupled to each other in a scarf connection in which a lower edge of an upper tile engages an upper edge of a lower tile.
- In accordance with another feature, a plurality of vertical slots maybe formed on the surface of said board in a given pitch corresponding to a space between abutting ends of said tiles adjacent laterally to each other, said slots facing to the insides of the said tiles, so that water which enters into the insides of said tiles through their abutting ends flows out of said slots. Preferably, said abutting ends of said tiles adjacent laterally to each other are positioned in a staggered arrangement. Also preferably, said abutting ends of said tiles adjacent laterally to each other are offset by a given distance out of the entire length of said tiles.
- In accordance with one particular feature of the invention, the board has a plurality of drain slots formed in the surface of the board. Preferably the drain slots comprise vertical drain slots, most preferably vertical and horizontal drain slots, formed in the surface of the board and positioned between the protrusions.
- In accordance with another feature of the invention, it may be arranged that tiles adjacent to each other vertically are coupled to each other in a connection in which a lower edge of an upper tile engages an upper edge of a lower tile.
- In accordance with another feature it may be arranged that tiles adjacent to each other horizontally are spaced apart, and the board is provided with a plurality of vertical drain slots in the surface of the board, the gaps between horizontally adjacent tiles being positioned in register with vertical drain slots.
- It is to be appreciated that the terms horizontal and vertical are intended to describe the orientation of the drain slots when the tiled wall assembly is placed vertically as a wall assembly. The vertical and horizontal slots may be strictly vertical or horizontal, or approximately so. Moreover where an assembly is itself inclined to the vertical for example when used as a roof panel, the vertical slots will of course be slots lying in vertical planes, but inclined to the vertical with the inclination of the panel assembly.
- The abutting ends of the said tiles adjacent laterally to each other may be positioned in a staggered arrangement or off-set by a given proportion of the length of said tile. Preferably, the inside of the said tile may be secured to the surface of said board by an adhesive in a close contact or in a little space. The surface of said board may be engraved among said protrusions to form said drain slots.
- In a tiled wall assembly (also referred to as a tiled wall body) in accordance with preferred aspects of the invention, since the tile-hanging board, which can also constitute a wall, is provided with protrusions having an upward hook when the board is disposed in place, a facing wall of a building may be formed by the board. It is possible to obtain the wall body merely by hanging the tiles in juxtaposition on the hooks of the board without using the plates as carried out in conventional working.
- Since the downward hook of the tile is hung on the upward hook of the protrusion on the board, the lower inside of the tile can be secured to the board by adhesive, and thus the tile can be easily engaged with the protrusions of the board for firmly fixing the tiles to the board using the adhesive. This will dispense with sliding laterally the tile into the engaging portion of the plate as has conventionally been required, and the operation of hanging the tiles becomes easier.
- Further, in a preferred working construction of this invention, since the tile has particularly shaped portions for scarf connection at the upper and lower edges thereof, and tiles adjacent vertically to each other are coupled to each other through the scarf connection, it is possible to prevent water from entering into the inside of the tile through the abutting edges of the tiles.
- On the other hand, if water enters into the inside of the tiles through the abutting ends of the tiles adjacent laterally to each other, the water can readily flow out through the slots formed on the surface of the board. Accordingly, the water does not flow along the lateral space between the surface of the board and the inside of the tiles. In other words, the water does not stay in the space. Consequently, this invention can overcome or reduce the conventional problems with the board in soaking and bending with water, allowing water into a building, or freezing damage caused by the collection of water.
- In addition, in a preferred working construction of this invention, since the plurality of the protrusions provided on the board engage the insides of the tiles to support the tiles so that the insides of the tiles are spaced away from the surface of the board, when water enters into the insides of the tiles, the water can readily flow out through the space between the insides of the tiles and the surface of the the board. That is, the space can serve as a drain space for preventing the board from being soaked in water, preventing the side of the building from being penetrated by water coming through the board. At the same time, the problem of deformation of the board by bending etc. is removed, along with the problem of the harm caused by freezing of the penetrating water.
- Preferred constructions of this invention can form an air layer in the space between the insides of the tiles and the surface of the board. Such air layer serves as a heat-insulation layer and thus inhibits transmission of heat from the tiles to the boards and vice versa.
- Embodiments of the invention will now be described by way of example with reference to the accompanying drawings, in which:-
- Figure 1 and Figures 2(A) and 2(B) are perspective views and cross sections, respectively of the main parts of a tiled wall assembly embodying the invention;
- Figure 3 and Figures 4(A) and 4(B) are perspective views and cross sections of the main parts of another embodiment of this invention respectively;
- Figures 5 and 6 are front views and perspective views of the main part of still another embodiment of this invention, respectively;

- Figure 11 and Figures 12(A) and 12(B) are perspective views and cross sections of the main parts of still another embodiment of this invention, respectively.
- Referring now to the drawings, embodiments of this invention will be explained.
- Figure 1 is a perspective view of the main part of an embodiment of a
board 10 of a base member on whichtiles 14 are hung directly in juxtaposition. Theboard 10 is made of hardwood piece cement plate formed by mixing wood pieces and cement for pressing after kneeding, cement plate formed by extruding cement, wood plate, plywood plate, asbestos plate,calcium silicate plate, gypsum board, plastic board, or metal composite plate etc. When theboard 10 is attached to a building, the board per se constitutes a facing wall of the building. - The outside of the
board 10 is provided withprotrusions 12 spaced away from each other laterally and vertically. Theprotrusions 12 are formed integrally with theboard 10 when theboard 10 is manufactured in a factory. - As shown in Figure 2(A), the
protrusion 12 has anupward hook 121 at its upper end. An engaginggroove 16 formed on the inside of thetile 14 can engage theupword hook 121 at an upper end of thegroove 16. Thegroove 16 terminates at adownward hook 141 at its upper end. Thedownward hook 141 has the opposing slant to that of theupward hook 121. - Accordingly, it is possible to hang the
downward hook 141 on theupward hook 121. Thetile 14 can be readily hung on the protrusion from the outside of theboard 10, since there is a clearance between thehooks tile 14 can fall to press on theprotrusion 12 so that theprotrusion 12 can be readily engaged. - An
adhesives 30 may be applied on the surface of theboard 10 opposite to the inside of alower portion 142 of thetile 14 so that thelower portion 142 may be securely fixed on theboard 10 byadhesive 30. The adhesive 30 may be applied to the inside of thelower portion 142. - In this construction, after the
board 10 is attached to a building to form a wall body, it is possible to obtain a tiled wall body by hanging directly thetile 14 on theprotrusion 12 and securing the inside of thelower portion 142 to the surface of theboard 10 by theadhesives 30 thereby making the work simple. - Figure 2(B) shows an alternative of the
protrusion 12 which is made as a part separated from theboard 10 and is previously secured to theboard 10 by means of anail 11 in a factory. Thetile 14 can be easily hung on theprotrusion 12 after theboard 10 is attached to the building. - Thus, the
protrusions 12 are formed beforehand on theboard 10, theboard 10 is then attached to the building on the spot, thetiles 14 are hung on theprotrusions 12, and the tile wall body is formed. Since this construction requires no step for securing a plate on the board as has been carried out in the prior art, the construction according to this invention can decrease the cost of the tile wall body and make the working simple. - When the
board 10 is used for an individual house, the thickness of the board is preferably 6 to 25 mm, while for a building, the thickness thereof is preferably 30 to 100 mm. - When the
board 10 is made of pottery material such as cement, the wall body has a great strength and good protection against fire. - The
protrusion 12 may be formed continuously in a lateral direction so that thetiles 14 can be hung in series. - Figure 3 and Figures 4(A) and 4(B) show another embodiment of this invention.
- A plurality of vertical and
lateral drain slots board 10. The drain slots comprise thelongitudinal drain slots 26 and thelateral drain slots 27. - In this embodiment, since the
drain slots board 10, even if water enters into the inside of thetiles 14, the water will flow out readily through theslots - Accordingly, the
board 10 can not be soaked or deformed by the water, which will not penetrate into the room. - Figure 4(A) illustrates a cross section of the main part of Figure 3. In this embodiment, the
protrusion 12 substantially occupies the engaginggroove 16. - Figure 4(B) shows an alternation of the
protrusion 12. Theprotrusion 12 is made separately from theboard 12. It may be previously secured to theboard 10 by thenail 11 in a factory. - Figures 5 and 6 show another embodiment of this invention.
- The
oblong tile 14 has the engaginggroove 16 on the inside. Theprotrusion 12 of theboard 10 engages thegroove 16. In this embodiment, thetiles 14 are laterally disposed apart by a small space (at adjacent ends 18). Thetiles 14 are longitudinally (or vertically for illustration) disposed in a scarf connection. Thetiles 14 adjacent vertically to each other are coupled to each other at the upper and lower edges. In other words, thetile 14 has ashoulder 20 at theupper end portion 141 and arecess 22 at thelower end portion 142. Theshoulders 20 and therecess 22 are engaged with therecess 22 and theshoulder 20 of theupper tile 14 and thelower tile 14 respectively. In this embodiment, the abutting ends 18 of the tiles adjacent laterally to each other are positioned in a staggered arrangement so that the ends 18 are at the center of the longitudinal (or lateral) side of thetile 14. - A number of
protrusions 12 are disposed so as to be juxtaposed vertically.Vertical slots 24 with a given width are defined between rows of theadjacent protrusions 12. Thevertical slots 24 are defined on the surface of theboard 10 in a given pitch corresponding to a space between the abutting ends 18 of thetiles 14 adjacent laterally to each other (in the embodiment shown in Figure 6, the pitch is a half of the distance between the ends 18). Theslots 24 are aligned to the inside of theends 18 of thetiles 14. - In this embodiment, since the
tiles 14 adjacent vertically to each other are coupled to each other in the scarf connection, it is possible to prevent water from entering from the coupled edges. - On the other hand, as there is a small space in the abutting ends 18, there is a possibility that water might enter into the insides of the
tiles 14 through the abutting ends 18. - However, since the
vertical slots 24 are defined between theprotrusions 12 on the surface of theboard 10, even if water enters into the insides of thetiles 14 through theends 18, the water will flow out to the outside through thevertical slots 24, and thus the water does not move laterally along the space between the surface of theboard 10 and the insides of thetiles 14. Consequently, according to the working construction of this embodiment, water will not stay in the space between the surface of theboard 10 and the insides of thetiles 14, and troubles of freezing damage due to the collection of water and others will not be caused. - It should be noted from the above embodiment that further alternatives may be possible in accordance with the present invention.
- For example, various arrangement of the
tiles 14 may be made other than the arrangement mentioned above. Figures 7 and 8 show other arrangements. In Figure 7, the abutting ends 18 of thetile 14 are off-set in a lateral direction by the amount of one-third of the length of thetiles 14 from the position of theends 18 of the upper orlower tiles 14. In Figure 8, the abutting ends 18 are aligned vertically. - In the present invention, the inside of the
tile 14 may be secured to the surface of theboard 10 either in close contact or with a small space provided therebetween. As shown in Figure 9, thevertical slots 26 may be formed to provide recesses between theprotrusions 12. - As shown in Figures 10(A) and 10(B) the adhesive 30 may be applied laterally on the surface of the
board 10 opposite to the inside of thelower portion 142 of thetile 14, thelower portion 142 being secured to theboard 10 through theadhesives 30 to fix thetile 14 on the surface of theboard 10. The adhesive 30 may be applied on the inside of thelower portion 142. - In this construction, after the
board 10 is attached to a building to form a wall body, it is possible to obtain a tiled wall body by hanging directly thetile 14 on theprotrusion 12 and securing the inside of thelower portion 142 to the surface of theboard 10 by theadhesives 30, thereby making the work simple. - Figure 10(B) shows an alternative of the
protrusion 12 which is made of a part separated from theboard 10 and is previously secured to theboard 10 by means of anail 11 in a factory. Thetile 14 can be easily hung on theprotrusion 12 after theboard 10 is attached to the building. - This embodiment can be applied to the case in which the
tiles 14 adjacent laterally to each other are abutted with each other. Further, this embodiment can be applied to another working construction for the tile wall body such as a slant wall and a substantially horizontal wall as well as a vertical wall. - Figures 11 and 12 show still another embodiment of this invention.
- The
oblong tile 14 has the engaginggroove 16 in the inside. Theprotrusion 12 engages thegroove 16. That is, a number oftiles 14 are hung on the surface of theboard 10 to form the tile wall body. - The
board 10 is provided on the surface withnumerous protrusions 13 which are in contact with the inside of the tiles. That is, thetile 14 is mounted on theboard 10 with the inside of the tile being spaced away by a certain distance from the surface of theboard 10 to form a space between the inside of thetile 14 and thesurface 10 of the board. - Figure 12(A) illustrates a cross section of the main part of Figure 11. The inside of the
tile 14 contacts with theprotrusion 13 and is secured to the protrusion by the adhesive 30. - Figure 12(B) shows an alternative of the
protrusion 12. Theprotrusion 12 is made as a part separated from theboard 10. It may be previously secured to theboard 10 by thenail 11 in a factory. - In this working construction, since the space defined between the surface of the
board 10 and the insides of thetiles 14 functions as a drain space, even if water may enter into the insides of thetiles 14, the water will flow out through the drain space, and thus the water does not move laterally along the space between the surface of theboard 10 and the insides of thetiles 14. Consequently, according to the working construction of this embodiment, water will not stay in the space between the surface of theboard 10 and the insides of thetiles 14, and no trouble such as freezing damage due to the retention of water will be caused. - In addition, the space between the surface of the
board 10 and the inside of thetiles 14 may also function as a heat-insulation layer and thus heat-insulation of the tile wall body will be extremely improved.
