Abstract
Includes anchoring means between tiles arranged in a coplanar plane. It is characterized in that the anchoring means are determined from portions curved in the shape of a groove located in the underside of the tiles and matching the side edges of the tiles that guide said curved portions to converge on said edges. When the tiles are put together next to each other head to head and at the point where the comers converge, these curved grooved portions form a channel on the underside of the tiles inside which male elements fit tightly in at least a portion of it to couple and engage at least two adjacent tiles.

ASSEMBLY SYSTEM FOR FLOOR AND/OR WALL TILES, comprising anchoring means between a tiles arranged in a coplanar plane;
- characterized in that said anchoring means are determined by curved portions shaped as a groove (3, 4 and 7) located in the underside of at least some of the tiles and corresponding to the side edges of the tiles, said curved portions converging in said edges, said curved portions configuring, when are assembled head to head and at the corner convergences, channels on the underside of the tiles inside in at least a portion of which male elements (5 and 6) are inserted by applying pressure to couple together at least two adjacent tiles;
- said tiles incorporating in its lateral edges male and female elements that are mutually complementary and are arranged in alternated fashion along the perimeter of the tile in an even and variable number at each side of the tile, in such a manner that the tile elements can be assembled in an offset manner according to the number of alternating elements, and allowing the elements to rotate in any direction, said male and female elements include a structure fitted with the means to passively guide the tile assembly, coupling and leveling processes, said means consisting in assembly surfaces which incoming angle is between 1° to 45°, but essentially selected between 25° and 44°.
