Appucation alea'aprn 1s, 192s. semi No. 270,941.
Patent No. 1,594,614, v granted August/.3, 1926, to George D. Haines, discloses a tiled wall constructlon comprising abase or foundation sheet secured to any suitable supporting structure, said foundation sheet having grooves to receive the marginal flanges of enameled sheet-metal tiles. The grooves serve to locate/'the tiles in horizontal alinement and to insure. proper staggering ofy joints.
The objectof the present invention is to extend the use of the self-alining and locating feature to molded tile, as, for example, tiles made of glass, clay, and other materials which are too fragile to permit of the formation of thin marginal flanges.
In the accompanying drawings, i
Figure 1 is a fragmentary face View of a wallembodying the features of my invention, a portion of a wall extending at r1ght angles to the first-mentioned wall being shown in cross-section.
Fig. 2 is a fragmentary view upon an enlarged scale, showing the ase' sheet msection and twotiles in edgeelev'ation.
Fig. 3 is a rear side view of a molded tile embodying the invention.l
Fig. 4 is an edge View of the t1le shown 1n Fi 3.
Fig. 5 is a rear view of a half-length tile embodying-the invention.
The invention is adapted for .use in connection with interior or exterior walls, floors, wainscoting,' fireplaces, tiled surfaces en closing built-in bath tubs, store counters and the like. The supporting structure to which the tiled surface isv to be applied may be of any preferred construction, that herein shown consisting of a plurality of vertical wooden ystuds 1 constituting the ordinary framework of a walll or partition. To the studs is nailed or otherwise secured a rigid base sheet 2 of mineral ory fibrous material. In the face of the sheet 2 are two sets of parallel equidistant grooves, one set being lat rightv angles to the other so that the 'grooves intersect to form squares. The sheet 2 is relativelytlarge so as to afford support for a large -number of tiles.
Referring nowtoFigs. 3 and 4: A is a tile molded of glass, clay or other suitable .plastic material, saidtile having upon its rear lside rib's extendin perpendicularly to each other and adapted or insertioninto 'the rooves 3 of the' base sheet at the places w ere said grooves intersect each other. Inithe-V construction shownfin Figs. 3 and 4, the tile is` provided with a longitudinal 'rib A1 located A,j
centrally upon the back ofthe tile, there being two ribs A2 extending perpendicularly to the rib A? and spaced apart a-distance equal to" the distance between two grooves in the base sheet. v
In orderthat a narrow space shall be `left between the tiles to allow forirregula'rities and to receive a thin filling 'of cement, the
width of the tile A is made slightly less than adjacent 'parallel the distance between the centers of two adjacent grooves 3, and its length is approxf mately twice'its width. f
In practice, the tiles may be 3" x 6j, 4% x 8 1/2, or any other standard sizefemt ployed in tiled constructions.'
In order to complete courses, half-length tiles Aa may be provided, as indicated -i'n Figs. 1 and. Such square or half-length tiles are provided upon their're'ar sides with a centrally located vertical rib A4' and a centrally located horizontal rib A5, said ribs vbeing adapted to be set in an intersection of the' grooves 3. l
In tiling the walls of a room, for example,
in accordance with' this invention, Alarge sheets 2 are secured to the studs', furring or other supports. Tiles are then cemented' in place, the tiles being coated on their' edges.
acks and Hanges with'cement and'set agalnst Y the base sheet, .the anges beingpla'ced in the grooves3. In Fig. 2, the' film of cement between `the tiles and the base sheet and between adjacent tiles is `indicated at a'. The grooves 3 ser'veto locate the tiles in proper horizontal alinement, and also s ace the tiles ,so that they break joints regular y; hence the' setting of the tilesmay be-done rapidlyffand care.
It will be apparent that the ribs on the'l backs of the tiles may bemade as wide as necessary ini order tov obtain suflicient strength, and that' the grooves 3 may be made wlthout the necessity of exercising skllland l as wide as necessary to receive the ribs on the tiles.
I claim as my invention:
. 1. Tiled construction .comprising a supporting structure, a base'sheet secured to said structure, said sheet having in its face. two sets of parallel grooves,`one set intersectin the other, and molded. tiles cemented t'o sai .base sheet, each of said tiles having'.
a rib arranged centrally upon its back, and another rib intersecting the first mentioned rib, said ribs lying in the intersecting portions of said grooves.
'2. Tiled construction comprising a supporting structure, a base secured to said structure, said base consisting of a plurality of relatively large rigid sheets, each sheet having inrits face parallelirecesses, and a multiplicity of molded tiles, cemented to each 1U of said base sheets, each of said tiles ,having upon its back centrally disposed projections lying in said recesses, said recesses and proiections serving to locate and aline the tiles horizontally and vertically.
In testimony whereof, I have hereunto affixed my signature.
OWEN E. GRIGSBY.
