Abstract

PURPOSE:To easily minimize and complicate design patterns, by cutting synthetic resin blocks, in which a plurality of springs running in the same direction are burried, so as to cross time strings. CONSTITUTION:A plurality of strings 21 arc stretched between both end plates 13, 15 of a mold 11 through the pierced hole 17 on the plates. Next, liquid or granular synthetic resin is fully charged in the mold 11 with the stretched strings 21. Next, the synthetic resin block with time burried plural strings 21 stretching to the same direction is taken out from the mold 11 after solidification. And the synthetic resin block is sliced in the direction crossing the strings 21 to obtain inlaid tiles as plates with a required thickness. And further, inlaid tiles having various kinds of patterns can be obtained according to the diameters and sectional shapes of the strings 21.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to an inlaid tile used as a flooring material, etc., and a method for manufacturing the same.

Aiho flooring materials are available in a variety of patterns to suit different uses and tastes.1. Floor tiles with inlaid patterns are also known.

As a method for manufacturing inlaid Iix-like tiles, it is known that a part of the base tile is punched out into a desired shape, and pattern pieces of different colors are fitted into the punched out part.

However, this manufacturing method has poor workability, and it is actually impossible to express delicate inlaid patterns.

It is also conceivable to scatter a plurality of synthetic resin powders of different shades in each partitioned area and consolidate them into a sheet to form a tile with an inlaid pattern. However, this method also has poor workability, and there are limits to the ability to express delicate patterns.

The present invention provides an inlaid tile that can easily form a delicate inlaid pattern and a method for manufacturing the same.

The inlaid tile of the present invention is characterized by being made by cutting a synthetic resin block in which a plurality of string-like bodies running in the same direction are embedded in a direction transverse to the string-like bodies.

In addition, the method for manufacturing an inlaid tile of the present invention includes stretching a plurality of colored synthetic resin string-like bodies in the same direction at a distance from each other;
The present invention is characterized in that a block made of synthetic resin is obtained by embedding this group of string-like bodies in a synthetic resin, and then this block is cut in a direction transverse to the string-like bodies to form a plate-like body.

What about my husband? 1 to 4 are explanatory diagrams showing an embodiment of the present invention.

FIG. 1 is a perspective view showing a formwork 11 used in the present invention, and the formwork consists of bottomed 1 side plates and both end plates 13.15. The two end plates 13, 15 are bored with through holes 17 in the same pattern, and this pattern determines the pattern of the inlaid tile to be formed.

For the sake of simplicity, Figure 2 shows both end plates 13. ] In the present invention, first, a plurality of string-like bodies 21 are inserted between the end plates 13.15 through the through holes 17 of the end plates 13.15. Stretch it. The string-like bodies 21 are each made of synthetic resin and colored in various colors. The cross-sectional shape of the group of strings 21, in other words, the arrangement of the through holes in the end plates 13.degree. 15, determines the pattern of the resulting inlaid tile.

Next, the formwork 11 over which the string-like body 21 is stretched is filled with a liquid or powdery synthetic resin. The synthetic resin fills the gaps between the strings 21, and is assimilated and integrated to form the resin matrix 23. After assimilation, the resin matrix 23 is removed from the mold, so that the resin matrix 23 is formed in the same direction as shown in FIG. A synthetic resin block 31 is obtained in which a plurality of string-like bodies 21 running along the sides are embedded.

By slicing this synthetic resin block 31 in the direction across the string-like body 21, that is, in the direction of line AA in FIG. 3, the inlaid tile 41 can be obtained as a plate-like body with a desired thickness.

As shown in FIG. 4, this inlaid tile 41
It exhibits an inlaid pattern determined by the arrangement of 1. In this way, the inlay pattern can be made finer and more complex by increasing the number of string-like bodies 21.
By changing the diameter and cross-sectional shape of 1, various patterns can be expressed. Although FIG. 2 shows only the string-like body 21 having a circular cross-section, any suitable cross-sectional shape may be adopted.

Furthermore, the end plates 13 and 15 do not necessarily have to have the same pattern of through holes 17. In this case, the stretched strings 21 are no longer parallel, and the inlaid tiles 41 that are finally cut are The pattern changes gradually. In addition to being made of synthetic resin, the string-like body 21 can be made of various materials such as fiber bundles and wood.

The obtained inlaid tile can be used as a flooring material as it is, or by providing a top coat layer on the surface or providing a cushion layer or a backing layer on the back side.

According to the present invention, a synthetic resin block in which a plurality of string-like bodies running in the same direction are embedded is sliced in a direction transverse to the string-like bodies to form an inlaid tile, thereby creating a desired inlaid pattern. It is possible to easily obtain tiles having the following properties, and it is also easy to make the pattern finer and more complex.

Moreover, according to the manufacturing method of the present invention, the above-mentioned inlaid tiles having various patterns can be easily manufactured by simply changing the way the string-like bodies are stretched.
