6 Claims.
My invention relates to angle tile and among the objects of my invention are:
First, to provide an angle tile which without change in the glazed surfaces may be used interchangeably as a base or cove element, cap or bead element, internal angle'element, or external angle element; thus providing an angle tile which performs the functions formerly requiring several different shapes and differently glazed angle tile, and correspondingly reducing the stock required by the tile setter.
Second, to provide an angle tile which is provided with ample unglazed surface so shaped to insure adequate bond with the backing cement.
Third, to provide an angle tile which may be used harmoniously in conjunction with a wide variety of wall and floor tile patterns.
With the above and other objects in View as may appear hereinafter reference is had to the accompanying drawing in which:
Figure 1 is a fragmentary perspective view of a tile wall employing my special angle tile.
Figure 2 is a perspective View of the angle tile per se.
Figure 3 is an enlarged fragmentary sectional plan view of a tile wall illustrating the use of my tile for internal and external angles, the View being taken through 3--3 of Fig. 1.
Figure 4 is an enlarged fragmentary vertical sectional View of a tile wall illustrating the use of my tile for coves and beads.
Figure 5 is a perspective View of a corner tile which may be used as a companion piece with my angle tile.
My angle tile consists essentially of a central body portion I and flanking marginal wing portions 2, each disposed at a forty-five degree angle with the body portion. The outer surfaces of the body portion and wing portions are glazed.
as indicated by 3 and 4 respectively. The edge 5 of each wing portion is equal in thickness to a standard tile and the width of each wing portion at its outer, glazed side between its edge 5 and the body portion I is likewise equal in thickness to standard tile. The body itself is approximately the thickness of the wing portions so that the rear or inner side of the tile is provided with three faces 6 forty-five degree angles with each other. The faces 6 and the edges 5 are unglazed, thus five of the eight faces comprising the tile are unglazed for binding association with the backing cement.
Application of the angle tile is best observed in Figs. 3 and 4. In the latter figure the angle tile is shown in use as a base or cove tile II and a cap or bead tile I2. When used as a base tilev the body surface 3 is the only exposed surface, the glazed surfaces 4 of the wing portions confronting the edges of floor tile I3 and wall tile I4. While these surfaces 4 provide poor bond with the cement I5, the faces 6 and edges 5. are ample to insure proper bond and further the angle tile is completely keyed by: the adjacenttile. I
When used as a cap or bead tile I2, all three glazed surfaces may be exposed or, as shown, tile I6 may continue from the upper wing.
With reference to Fig. 3, when the angle tile is used to form an internal angle as indicated by H, the relationship with adjacent wall tile I4 is the same as with the floor tile I3 and wall tile I4 of Fig. 4, the cornertile being both cemented and keyed in position. When used to form an external angle as indicated by I8 all five surfaces 5 and 6 are available to firmly bond the tile with the backing cement I5.
It will be observed that not only may the angle tile take the same form for the different posi tions 11, 12, 17 and 18, but thesame surfaces are glazed in each case; this materially reduces the stock of angle tile that must be carried or supplied for a job. This is made possible by the particular relationship between the body portile 2| shown in Fig. 5 in which the triangularportion 22 corresponds to the body I and the flanking portions 23 aline with. the body portions of the tile I8 and I2 when used toform an external corner 24 or abut tile I1 and II when used as an internal corner 25. As with the angletile, only the surfaces shownin Fig. 5 need be glazed for either use.
Corner tile for the corners indicated by 26 and 21, however cannot be interchanged al-, though the same form may, by glazing different sides, be used.
Though I have shown and described certain embodiments of my invention, I do not wish to be limited thereto but desire to include in the scope of my invention, the construction, combiforming edges, said edges and said wing portions adapted to be employed interchangeably in abutting relation with adjacent tile forming a wall or floor, one side of said body portion and said flanking wing portions constituting the convex or outer side of said tile, and a glaze covering for said surface.
3. A tile as specified in claim 2 wherein the body portion is flat and when the tile is in position forms an internal or external beveled corner depending on the location of the angle tile.
4. An angle tile adapted to form interchangeably a beveled corner between right-angularly disposed wall surfaces or wall and ceiling or floor surfaces, said angle tile being substantially uniform and of standard tile thickness and having an outer side comprising a middle body portion with flanking wing portions disposed at fortyfive degree relationship, the width of said flanking portions being substantially tile thickness whereby said flanking portions or the edges of the angle tile may be disposed in abutment with standard tile, said angle tile being glazed on said outer side only.
5. A tile as specified in claim 2, the body portion only being exposed when said wing portions are in abuttingrelation with adjacent tile and the wing portions as well as the body portion are exposed when the edges are in such abutting relation.
6. An angle tile comprising: an elongated rectangular body portion and flanking wing portions along the two longer sides of said body portion and set at a forty-five degree angle therewith, the wing portions being approximately equal in width and thickness forming edges, said edges and said wing portions adapted to be employed interchangeably in abutting relation with adjacent tile forming a wall or floor and a glazed surfacing on the normally outer side only of said body' portion, and the corresponding surfaces only of said wing portions.
