Abstract
An assembly system for floor and/or wall tiles includes anchors between tiles arranged in a coplanar plane. The anchors 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 the curved portions to converge on the edges. When the tiles are put together next to each other head to head and at the point where the corners 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.
Claims30
An assembly system for floor and/or wall tiles, comprising anchoring means between the tiles arranged in a coplanar plane;
- wherein said anchoring means are set out 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 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, where end portions of said male elements incorporate centered cuts (8) and slits (9);
- each of said tiles incorporating in its lateral edges male and female portions 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 of the tile, and allowing the tiles elements to rotate in any direction, said male and female portions include a structure fitted with guide means to passively guide the tile assembly, coupling and leveling processes, said guide means comprising assembly surfaces with an incoming angle between 1° to 45°.
