[Problems to be Solved by the Invention] Although the method of pasting tiles using a base panel has various advantages as described above,
In order to support the tile by anchoring it to the base panel, it is necessary to provide engaging protrusions on the back of the tile, which makes the shape of the tile more complex and difficult to manufacture compared to tiles used for regular tiling. It becomes difficult. Also,
The structure of the base panel that supports the tiles is complicated because grooves for locking the tiles are provided and locking metal fittings are used. In this way, in the tile construction method using a base panel, the structure of the base panel and the composition of the tile are complicated,
There was a problem in that a certain level of dimensional accuracy was required during manufacturing in order to lock the tile to the locking fittings.

[0005] The present invention has been made in view of the above problems, and its purpose is to simplify the configuration of the base panel, locking member, and tile used in tiling construction using the base panel. To provide a tile hanging/installation method capable of facilitating tiling work.

[0006]

Means for Solving the Problems The present invention has the following configuration to achieve the above object. In other words, for a tile that has locking protrusions that protrude toward the base panel on the upper and lower edges of the back surface in contact with the base panel, the upper edge of a connecting fitting that has locking edges on the upper and lower edges is attached to the locking protrusions on the lower edge of the tile. A plurality of tiles are suspended and supported via the connecting fittings by engaging the locking edges and engaging the locking edges at the lower edge of the connecting fittings with the locking protrusions of vertically adjacent tiles. After that,
The tile is secured and attached to the base panel by fixing the connecting fittings to the base panel.

[0007]

[Operation] By engaging the connecting fittings with the locking protrusions between adjacent tiles, the tiles can be connected vertically and suspended and supported, and the tiles are connected when a certain joint spacing is set by the weight of the tiles. By fixing the metal fittings to the base panel, the tile is locked by the connecting metal fittings and attached to the base panel.

DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS Preferred embodiments of the present invention will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. FIG. 1 shows a state in which tiles are attached to a base panel by the tile hanging attachment method according to the present invention. The tile installation method according to the present invention includes:
The tiles provided with locking protrusions on the back surface are supported while being engaged with each other via connecting metal fittings and suspended, and the tiles are attached to the base panel by fixing the connecting metal fittings to the base panel. In FIG. 1, reference numeral 10 denotes a base panel, which is fixed to the construction surface 12. Base panel 10
is formed into a flat board shape, and does not require locking grooves or locking metal fittings for attaching tiles.

A tile 14 is attached to the front side of this base panel 10, and locking protrusions 1 are provided on the upper and lower edges of the back side of the tile 14.
6 will be provided. The locking protrusion 16 is attached to the base panel 1 as shown in FIG.
A hook portion is provided on the edge so that it does not come off toward the front side when attached to the base panel 10, and is provided so as to protrude toward the base panel 10 side. Note that a projecting edge 16 may be provided in the center of the back surface of the tile 14 in the shape of a horizontal bar. Tile 14 as base panel 1
This is because the projecting edges 16 come into contact with each other and stably support the tile 14 when it is attached to the tile 14. FIG. 1 shows both a type of tile provided with a protruding edge 16 and a type of tile without a protruded edge 16.

When attaching the tiles 14 to the base panel 10, the connecting fittings 20 are attached to the vertically adjacent tiles 14, 14.
They are supported by engaging and connecting each other across the space. FIG. 2 is a perspective view of the connecting fitting 20. Connecting fittings 2
No. 0 has locking edges 20a and 20b formed by bending opposite edges of a metal plate to face each other. The locking edges 20a, 20b are bent into a V shape so as to engage with a locking protrusion 16 provided on the back surface of the tile 14. Locking edge 2
Since the spacing between 0a and 20b is to set the joint spacing in the vertical direction when the tile 14 is installed, the tile 14

form 1.

The tile 14 is attached to the base panel 10 in the following manner. The tiles 14 are installed sequentially from the top of the construction surface downward, but first, a locking tool is fixed to the top of the construction surface to hook and lock the tiles 14, and the first row of tiles are hooked to this for support. . Leave a predetermined joint spacing in the horizontal direction of the tiles. In addition,
The locking tool may be anything that can lock the locking protrusion 16 of the tile 14, and a rail-shaped locking tool or the like can be used. After the first row of tiles is locked to the locking tool, the locking edge 20a of the connecting fitting 20 is hooked to the locking projection 16 on the lower edge of the first row of tiles, and then the locking projection 1 of the second row of tiles is
6 is hooked onto the locking edge 20b of the connecting fitting 20 to connect the tiles vertically. Furthermore, connect metal fittings 2 to the second row of tiles.
0 and hooking the tile to the locking edge of the lower edge of the connecting fitting 20 to support the third row of tiles. Tiles are thus hung in multiple rows. This suspended state is a state in which the connecting fittings 20 are not fixed to the base panel 10. Then, the tiles are hung in a predetermined number of rows, and when a joint of a certain width is formed between the upper and lower tiles 14 due to the weight of the tiles, the connecting fittings 20 are screwed to the base panel 10, and the tiles are attached to the base panel 10. Attach. FIG. 1 shows the state after the tiles 14 have been fixed to the base panel 10 in this manner. The connecting fittings 20 are fixed to the base panel 10, and the locking edges 20a, 20b of the connecting fittings 20
By engaging the locking protrusions 16 of the tile 14 with the tile 14, the tile 14 is reliably locked and fixed to the base panel 10.

FIG. 4 shows how the tile 14 is attached to the base panel using the connecting fittings 20. As shown in FIG. In this embodiment, the tiles 14 are pasted in the same arrangement in the vertical direction, but in the case of this pasting method, connecting fittings 2 are attached to the corners of each of the four adjacent tiles vertically and horizontally as shown in the figure.
0 is preferably engaged and suspended. This is because by engaging the corner portion, the corner portion of the tile 14 can be reliably locked to the base panel. Note that the method of pasting the tiles is not limited to that shown in FIG. For example, it can be pasted so that the joints form a zigzag pattern. However, in this case, the corners of the tiles are not gathered in one place, so the connecting fittings are arranged so that the corner parts are held down as much as possible by one connecting fitting.

After the tiles 14 are attached to the base panel 10 in a predetermined arrangement using the connecting fittings 20 as described above, the joints are filled with a joint material and finished. Since the tiles 14 are fixed to the base panel 10 by the connecting fittings 20, the tiles 14 do not shift during construction, and joint filling work can be easily performed. Then, by filling the joints, the connecting fittings 20 are shielded, and a good-looking appearance can be obtained. In addition, the mounting strength of the tiles 14 is improved by tightly packing, and accidents such as peeling of tiles after construction can be prevented.

FIG. 3 shows another embodiment of the connecting fitting 20. The connecting fittings 20 function to lock the tiles so that they do not come off when they are installed. The embodiment shown in FIG.
b is bent into a U-shape to ensure that the tile can be secured.

The connecting fitting 20 used in the above embodiment is used by being engaged with a part of the locking protrusion 16 like the corner part of the tile 14, but the connecting fitting 20 is formed into an elongated shape to form one connecting The metal fitting 20 may be configured to be able to lock a plurality of tiles. The connecting fitting 22 shown in FIG. 4 is a connecting fitting formed in the shape of a long rail. When this connecting fitting 22 is used, the tiles 14 are attached to the locking edges 22a and 22b of the connecting fitting 22, similarly to the connecting fitting 20 of the above embodiment.
After hanging by hooking the locking protrusion, the connecting fitting 22 is fixed to the base panel by screwing. The connecting fitting 20 of the above embodiment can be manufactured by simply bending a metal plate, and is small and inexpensive, whereas the connecting fitting 22 formed in an elongated shape is expensive to manufacture. On the other hand, a long connecting fitting 22
When using this, there is an advantage that the degree of freedom such as the hooking position of the tile 14 increases.

FIG. 5 shows another embodiment in which the tile 14 is suspended and supported by the connecting fittings 20 to attach the tile 14 to the base panel 10. This example is of a type that is finished without filling the joints. The tile 14 of this embodiment is provided with a recess 24 on the front surface of the upper edge of the tile 14, and the front portion of the lower edge of the tile 14 extends downward so that it partially overlaps the recess 24 of the adjacent tile 14 below. Edge 2
There are 6. In addition, there is a connecting fitting 2 on the back side of the tile 14.
This embodiment is similar to the above example in that a locking protrusion 16 that engages with the locking edges 20a and 20b of 0 is provided. A screw recess 28 is provided on the back surface of the tile 14 as a relief for a screw for fixing the connecting fitting 20 to the base panel 10. When attaching the tiles 14 of this embodiment to the base panel 10, the connecting fittings 2
Since the screw fixing part 0 is located on the back side of the tile 14, the connecting fitting 20 is fixed to the base panel 10 in advance, and then the tile is attached.

According to the tile mounting structure shown in the above embodiment, the base panel 10 can be formed into a simple board shape and its manufacture is extremely easy. Further, the tile can be manufactured easily by simply providing a locking protrusion on the back surface, and the weight of the tile can be reduced. In addition, since the connecting fittings 20 are fixed at appropriate positions on the base panel 10, it is possible to easily handle the installation of different types of tiles with different width sizes, and the installation work can be made easier. can. In addition, by filling the joints after installing the tiles, the connecting fittings 20 can be hidden, eliminating problems with the finish. Further, by using the connecting fittings 20, the tiles have a structure that is difficult to physically peel off, and there are advantages such as being able to obtain sufficient construction strength.
