Modular apparatus for realisation of easily removable horizontal or vertical tiling

Abstract

A modular apparatus for the realisation of horizontal or vertical tiling comprises three cooperating modules: a first rectilinear profile ( 1 ) with a U-shaped cross-section bordered by a bottom wall ( 10 ) and two borders ( 11 ) in symmetrically opposite position and capable of of elastic divarication, each border ( 11 ) being provided with an internal small longitudinal groove ( 11 a ) and with an external tooth (lib) connected with an inclined section (lie) directed towards the opening of the profile ( 1 ), which is additionally provided with suitable means for stable fixing on the wall or floor to be coated; a second rectilinear profile ( 2 ) with a T-shaped cross-section, provided with two perpendicular wings ( 20, 21 ) the first wing ( 20 ) being adapted to be engaged between the two borders ( 11 ) of the first U-shaped profile ( 1 ) and provided with fixing means that cooperate with the internal grooves (Ha) provided on the borders ( 11 ); and a tile ( 3 ) with an irregular shape on the perimeter borders, being provided, from the external face (FE) to the internal face (FI), with a step ( 30 ) designed to receive approximately half of the second wing ( 21 ) of the second profile ( 2 ), a basically L-shaped tapering niche ( 31 ) designed to receive the external tooth (lib) provided on each border ( 11 ) of the first profile ( 1 ), and a deep cavity ( 32 ).

1 . modular apparatus for realisation of horizontal or vertical tiling, characterized by the fact that it comprises three cooperating modules, which particularly consist in:
 a first rectilinear section ( 1 ) with basically U-shaped transversal cross-section border by a bottom wall ( 10 ) and two borders ( 11 ) in symmetrically opposite position and capable of elastic divarication, each of them being internally provided with a small longitudinal groove ( 11   a ) and with an external tooth ( 11   b ) connected with an inclined section ( 11   c ) directed towards the opening of the section ( 1 ), which is additionally provided with suitable means for stable fixing on the wall or floor to be coated;   a second rectilinear section ( 2 ) provided with basically T-shaped cross-section, provided with two perpendicular wings ( 20 ,  21 ), the first wing ( 20 ) being engaged between the two borders ( 11 ) of the first U-shaped section ( 1 ) and provided with fixing means that cooperate with the means provided on the borders ( 11 );   a tile ( 3 ) provided with a special irregular shape on the perimeter borders, being provided, from the external face (FE) to the internal face (FI), with a step ( 30 ) designed to receive approximately half of the second wing ( 21 ) of the second section ( 2 ), a basically L-shaped tapering niche ( 31 ) designed to receive the tooth ( 11   b ) externally provided on each border ( 11 ) of the first section ( 1 ), and a deep cavity ( 32 ).   
   
   
       2 . Apparatus as claimed in  claim 1 , characterized by the fact that the means used to fix the first section ( 1 ) to the floor or wall to be coated consist in a plurality of through holes for corresponding screws obtained on the bottom wall ( 10 ) of the section ( 1 ). 
   
   
       3 . Apparatus as claimed in  claim 1 , characterized by the fact that the means used to fix the first section ( 1 ) to the floor or wall to be coated consist in a plurality of through holes ( 12   a ) for corresponding screws obtained on a strip ( 12 ) that laterally protrudes on the back of the bottom wall ( 10 ) of the first section ( 1 ) and is engaged into the deep cavity ( 32 ) obtained on the internal face (FI) of the tile ( 3 ). 
   
   
       4 . Apparatus as claimed in  claim 1 , characterized by the fact that the means used for the mutual stable fixing of the first wing ( 20 ) of the second section ( 2 ) into the cavity of the first section ( 1 ) consist in a pair of longitudinal ribs ( 20   a ) obtained on opposite sides on the first wing ( 20 ) of the second section ( 2 ), being designed to be exactly fitted into an opposite pair of corresponding longitudinal grooves ( 11   a ) obtained on the internal faces of the borders ( 11 ) of the section.
