Description

ELEMENTS DE CARRELAGE POUR LE REVETEMENT DE SOLS OU DE TILE ELEMENTS FOR FLOORING OR FLOORING

MURSWALLS

L'invention concerne des éléments de carrelage pour le revêtement de sols ou de murs susceptibles d'être soumis à une atmosphère humide.The invention relates to tiling elements for covering floors or walls liable to be subjected to a humid atmosphere.

On entend par élément de carrelage les carreaux que l'on scelle sur une surface à recouvrir quelle que soit la forme géométrique de ces carreaux.By tiling element is meant the tiles which are sealed on a surface to be covered whatever the geometric shape of these tiles.

De nombreux établissements recevant du public possèdent des pièces soumises à une atmosphère humide. C'est le cas par exemple de salles de douches ou- de cuisines d'organismes publics ou privés tels que les hôpitaux, les cantines scolaires, les cantines d' entreprises .Many establishments open to the public have rooms subject to a humid atmosphere. This is the case, for example, of shower rooms or kitchens of public or private organizations such as hospitals, school canteens, company canteens.

Pour respecter les normes concernant l'hygiène de ces lieux l'inox est employé. En effet, l'inox est employé pour ses qualités de robustesse contre les chocs mais aussi bien entendu parce qu' il répond aux normes hygiéniques concernant les établissements publics ou destinés au public.To respect the standards concerning the hygiene of these places stainless steel is used. Indeed, stainless steel is used for its qualities of robustness against shocks but also of course because it meets hygienic standards concerning public establishments or intended for the public.

De nombreuses cuisines à usage professionnel sont équipées d'éviers en inox, de plans de travail constitués de plateaux en inox et parfois de panneaux de revêtement muraux en inox.Many kitchens for professional use are fitted with stainless steel sinks, worktops made of stainless steel trays and sometimes stainless steel wall cladding panels.

Mise à part l'utilisation d'évier en inox, l'utilisation de revêtements inox est réservé aux établissements publics car la fabrication de revêtement en inox est faite sur mesure et la pose fait appel à des spécialistes de la chaudronnerie.Apart from the use of stainless steel sinks, the use of stainless steel coverings is reserved for public establishments because the manufacture of stainless steel coverings is custom-made and the installation calls for specialists in sheet metal work.

En effet, les revêtements inox sont réalisés à partir de plaques en inox sorties d'usine de laminage. Les plaques sont découpées en usine à la taille voulue, préformées le cas échéant pour former des bordures. Les plaques sont en suite soudées les une aux autres pour couvrir la surface désirée.In fact, stainless steel coatings are made from stainless steel plates that have left the rolling mill. The plates are cut in the factory to the desired size, preformed if necessary to form borders. The plates are then welded together to cover the desired surface.

La pose de revêtements en inox nécessite donc le savoir-faire de spécialistes de la chaudronnerie et des équipements tels que des machines outil et des postes de soudure .The installation of stainless steel coverings therefore requires the expertise of boilermaking specialists and equipment such as machine tools and welding stations.

Les revêtements des sols ou des murs de pièces humides pour des habitations particulières sont constitués de carreaux en céramique. Ces carreaux sont collés contre la surface à protéger et jointes par un ciment mis en place entre les différents carreaux de manière à couvrir entièrement l'espace laissé entre ces carreaux.The coverings of floors or walls of damp rooms for particular dwellings consist of ceramic tiles. These tiles are glued against the surface to be protected and joined by a cement placed between the different tiles so as to completely cover the space left between these tiles.

L'inconvénient de ces carrelages est qu'ils nécessitent la mise en place de joints. Cette opération est une opération fastidieuse qui se rajoute à l'opération de mise en place par collage des carreaux de céramiques .The disadvantage of these tiles is that they require the installation of joints. This operation is a tedious operation which is added to the installation operation by gluing the ceramic tiles.

En effet, la mise en place des joints n'est pas une opération aisée si l'on veut obtenir un résultat final esthétique, c'est à dire un joint régulier et homogène.Indeed, the installation of the joints is not an easy operation if one wants to obtain an aesthetic final result, that is to say a regular and homogeneous joint.

En outre dans des atmosphères très humides, les joints s'altèrent et il est difficile d'empêcher le développement de microorganismes (moisissures) sur les joints.In addition, in very humid atmospheres, the seals deteriorate and it is difficult to prevent the development of microorganisms (molds) on the seals.

La présente invention permet de remédier à ces inconvénients en proposant un carrelage sans joint et dont la mise en place peut être faite par des non spécialistes autrement dit, par des particuliers. L'invention a plus particulièrement pour objet, des éléments de carrelage pour revêtement de sol ou mural, caractérisé en ce qu'ils sont réalisés sous la forme de plaquettes métalliques possédant des bordures d'orientation fixée par la forme choisie pour chaque de plaquette, les bordures de même orientation permettant d'assembler les plaquettes les unes aux autres en les juxtaposant bord à bord sur une surface à recouvrir et de couvrir ainsi entièrement cette surface sans la nécessité de joints.The present invention overcomes these drawbacks by proposing a seamless tiling, the installation of which can be done by non-specialists, in other words, by individuals. The subject of the invention is more particularly, tiling elements for floor or wall covering, characterized in that they are produced in the form of metal plates having orientation borders fixed by the shape chosen for each of plate, the edges of the same orientation making it possible to assemble the plates to one another by juxtaposing them edge to edge on a surface to be covered and thus to completely cover this surface without the need for joints.

Les plaquettes métalliques présentent une surface lisse plane ou préformée selon la forme de la surface à recouvrir, destinées à être fixées sur cette surface par collage. Les plaquettes carrelage métalliques peuvent être en métal ferreux comme l'acier ou de l'inox.The metal plates have a smooth flat or preformed surface depending on the shape of the surface to be covered, intended to be fixed to this surface by gluing. The metallic tiles may be made of ferrous metal such as steel or stainless steel.

Les plaquettes métalliques peuvent être en métal non ferreux comme le cuivre ou le laiton.The metal plates can be made of non-ferrous metal such as copper or brass.

Certaines plaquettes métalliques peuvent comporter sur la face opposée à la face destinée à être fixée sur la surface à recouvrir, une finition résultant d'un traitement de surface tel qu'un polissage ou un brossage ou un sablage ou une peinture.Some metal plates may have on the face opposite to the face intended to be fixed on the surface to be covered, a finish resulting from a surface treatment such as polishing or brushing or sandblasting or painting.

Certaines plaquettes comportent une ou plusieurs lignes de pré-découpe afin de permettre par simple pivotement des parties reliées par la pré-découpe, de les détacher et d'obtenir un élément de plus petite taille pour la réalisation de bordures par exemple.Some plates have one or more pre-cut lines to allow by simple pivoting of the parts connected by the pre-cut, to detach them and to obtain a smaller element for the production of borders for example.

Les lignes de prédécoupe peuvent être constituées par un affaiblissement de l'épaisseur de la plaquette.The precut lines can be formed by a weakening of the thickness of the insert.

Les lignes de prédécoupe peuvent être réalisées par une succession de perforations traversant la plaquette dans son épaisseur.The precut lines can be produced by a succession of perforations passing through the plate in its thickness.

Certaines plaquettes sont préformées par une technique de pliage ou de rayonnage afin de présenter un angle ou une courbure, particulièrement adaptés pour les finitions d'angles. Les plaquettes métalliques peuvent avoir des formes polygonales comme des triangles, des carrés, des rectangles, des hexagones, des octogones.Some plates are preformed by a folding or shelving technique in order to present an angle or a curvature, particularly suitable for finishing angles. Metal plates can have polygonal shapes such as triangles, squares, rectangles, hexagons, octagons.

Les plaquettes carrelage peuvent avoir des formes quelconques ou des formes d'objets pour permettre la réalisation de fresques.The tiles can have any shape or shape of objects to allow the realization of frescoes.

Avantageusement l'épaisseur des plaquettes est dans une fourchette de 0,8 à 3 millimètres.Advantageously, the thickness of the plates is in a range of 0.8 to 3 millimeters.

L'invention concerne également un revêtement de sols ou de murs, particulièrement caractérisé en ce qu' il comprend au moins une plaque support destiné à être fixé au mur ou au sol, ladite plaque étant constituée d'un matériau étanche sur lequel sont fixés des éléments de carrelage réalisés sous la forme de plaquettes métalliques possédant des bordures d'orientation fixée par leur forme, les bordures de même orientation permettant d'assembler les plaquettes les unes aux autres en les juxtaposant bord à bord sur la plaque à recouvrir et de couvrir ainsi entièrement la plaque support sans la nécessité de joints.The invention also relates to a covering of floors or walls, particularly characterized in that it comprises at least one support plate intended to be fixed to the wall or to the ground, said plate consisting of a waterproof material on which are fixed tiling elements produced in the form of metal plates having orientation borders fixed by their shape, the borders of the same orientation making it possible to assemble the plates to each other by juxtaposing them edge to edge on the plate to be covered and to cover thus entirely the support plate without the need for seals.

Une plaque support est constituée de préférence en matériau PVC ou en bois imputrescible.A support plate is preferably made of PVC material or rot-proof wood.

Les plaques support peuvent avoir une épaisseur de 2mm à 20 mm. Leur fixation au mur ou au sol peut être réalisée par collage ou vissage.The support plates can have a thickness of 2mm to 20mm. They can be fixed to the wall or the floor by gluing or screwing.

D'autres particularités et avantages de l'invention apparaîtront clairement à la lecture de la description suivante qui est donnée ci-après à titre d' exemple non limitatif et en regard des figures sur lesquelles :Other particularities and advantages of the invention will appear clearly on reading the following description which is given below by way of nonlimiting example and with reference to the figures in which:

La figure 1, illustre des éléments de carrelage fixés sur une plaque support selon un exemple de réalisation de l'invention, La figure 2, illustre des éléments de carrelage selon un autre exemple de réalisation.FIG. 1 illustrates tiling elements fixed to a support plate according to an exemplary embodiment of the invention, FIG. 2 illustrates tiling elements according to another exemplary embodiment.

Les figures 3A et 3B illustre l'assemblage de carreaux en métal,Figures 3A and 3B illustrates the assembly of metal tiles,

Les figures 4A et 4B illustrent un carreau en métal prédécoupé selon une première technique,FIGS. 4A and 4B illustrate a metal tile precut according to a first technique,

Les figures 5A et 5B illustrent un carreau en métal prédécoupé selon une deuxième technique.FIGS. 5A and 5B illustrate a metal tile precut according to a second technique.

La figure 6, illustre un carreau d'angle.Figure 6 illustrates a corner tile.

Selon l'invention, il est proposé de réaliser des carreaux tout métal. Ces carreaux se trouvent sous la forme de plaquettes métalliques de plus faible épaisseur que les carreaux de céramiques habituels et pouvant avoir toutes les formes désirées.According to the invention, it is proposed to produce all-metal tiles. These tiles are in the form of metal plates thinner than the usual ceramic tiles and can have all the desired shapes.

Les carreaux c'est à dire les plaquettes métalliques sont planes ou préformées selon la forme de la surface à recouvrir. Une face F' de ces plaquettes est destinée à être fixées directement sur la surface à recouvrir tant disque la face F opposée est la face visible du carrelage. Cette face visible F peut avoir fait l'objet de traitement de surface pour modifier l'aspect du métal.The tiles, that is to say the metal plates, are flat or preformed according to the shape of the surface to be covered. A face F ′ of these plates is intended to be fixed directly to the surface to be covered as long as the disk the opposite face F is the visible face of the tiling. This visible face F may have been the subject of surface treatment to modify the appearance of the metal.

Il n'est pas nécessaire de peindre un motif au- dessus d'un carreau de forme géométrique définie, comme dans le cas de carreaux en céramique, pour obtenir un carrelage décoratif, des plaquettes métalliques peuvent être directement proposées sous la forme de motifs décoratifs. Les modèles de carreaux représentés sur les figures 1 et 2 illustrent des formes particulières du carrelage qui peuvent être proposées.It is not necessary to paint a pattern over a tile of defined geometric shape, as in the case of ceramic tiles, to obtain a decorative tile, metal plates can be directly offered in the form of decorative patterns . The models of tiles shown in Figures 1 and 2 illustrate particular shapes of the tiles that can be proposed.

Ainsi comme on peut le voir sur les figures, la forme des carreaux peut être géométrique ou décorative. Des formes géométriques différentes peuvent être associées pour permettre la couverture complète de la surface désirée, ceci est illustré par le schéma de la figure 1. On peut aussi associer des carreaux réalisés avec des métaux différents, carreaux en inox 100 et carreaux en laiton 102 par exemple.As can be seen in the figures, the shape of the tiles can be geometric or decorative. Different geometric shapes can be combined to allow complete coverage of the desired surface, this is illustrated by the diagram in Figure 1. We can also combine tiles made with different metals, stainless steel tiles 100 and brass tiles 102 by example.

Les formes décoratives pourront être choisies pour réaliser des fresques ou des frises comme illustré sur la figure 2. Les carreaux en métal 100, 101, 102 se fixent sur un support plat 200 par collage. La colle permet non seulement de fixer les carreaux sur le support mais contribue également à l'étanchéité du revêtement ainsi obtenu. La personne qui met en place son carrelage n'a qu'à enduire le support 200 de colle ainsi que la face arrière des carreaux, puis à assembler ces carreaux les un après les autres sur le support 200.' The decorative forms can be chosen to produce frescoes or friezes as illustrated in FIG. 2. The metal tiles 100, 101, 102 are fixed to a flat support 200 by gluing. The adhesive not only makes it possible to fix the tiles on the support but also contributes to the sealing of the coating thus obtained. The person who sets up his tiles only has to coat the support 200 with adhesive as well as the rear face of the tiles, then to assemble these tiles one after the other on the support 200. '

Comme cela a été dit, les carreaux sont, selon l'invention uniquement constituée de métal si bien qu'ils peuvent être collés sur tout support plat étanche et recouvrir entièrement ce support sans la nécessité de laisser un espace pour un joint.As has been said, the tiles are, according to the invention only made of metal so that they can be glued to any flat waterproof support and completely cover this support without the need to leave a space for a joint.

Les carreaux ont une épaisseur qui est de préférence dans une fourchette de 0,8 mm à 3 mm.The tiles have a thickness which is preferably within a range of 0.8 mm to 3 mm.

La colle utilisée est par exemple une colle "Néoprène".The glue used is for example a "Neoprene" glue.

Le support se présente sous la forme d'une seule plaque aux dimensions voulues ou de plusieurs plaques juxtaposées dans un matériau étanche tel que par exemple du polychlorure de vinyle (PVC) ou un bois aggloméré imputrescible.The support is in the form of a single plate with the desired dimensions or of several plates juxtaposed in a waterproof material such as for example polyvinyl chloride (PVC) or a rot-proof agglomerated wood.

La ou les plaques support peuvent être fixées par tout moyen adapté au mur ou au sol destiné à les recevoir, par exemple au moyen d'une colle (silicone par exemple) ou des vis. L'épaisseur du support peut varier selon le besoin de 2mm à 20 mm.The support plate (s) can be fixed by any means suitable for the wall or the floor intended to receive, for example by means of an adhesive (silicone for example) or screws. The thickness of the support can vary according to the need from 2mm to 20mm.

Le détail des figures 3A et 3B permet d' illustrer l'assemblage par juxtaposition des carreaux.The detail of FIGS. 3A and 3B makes it possible to illustrate the assembly by juxtaposition of the tiles.

Les bordures de même orientation sont juxtaposées. Dans ces exemples, les bordures 10A et 10B des carreaux 100A et 100B sont juxtaposées.Borders with the same orientation are juxtaposed. In these examples, the borders 10A and 10B of the tiles 100A and 100B are juxtaposed.

Une bordure 11A du carreau 100A et une bordure 11B du carreau 102 sont également juxtaposées. Le résultat après collage sur le support 200 est illustré par le détail de la figure 3B.An edge 11A of the pane 100A and an edge 11B of the pane 102 are also juxtaposed. The result after bonding to the support 200 is illustrated by the detail in FIG. 3B.

La fabrication de carreaux tout métal est faite avec une technique de découpe au laser ce qui permet d'avoir une grande précision dans les dimensions et dans les finitions.The manufacturing of all metal tiles is done with a laser cutting technique which allows for great precision in dimensions and finishes.

L'épaisseur obtenue peut être beaucoup plus faible que celle des carreaux en céramique car les carreaux sont découpés à partir de tôles en métal laminées. Ainsi la présence d'un joint d' étanchéité n'est pas nécessaire. Les carreaux peuvent être juxtaposés bord à bord.The thickness obtained can be much smaller than that of ceramic tiles because the tiles are cut from laminated metal sheets. Thus the presence of a seal is not necessary. The tiles can be juxtaposed edge to edge.

En outre la réalisation de carreaux en métal permet également de réaliser des prédécoupes afin que les utilisateurs puissent disposer de toutes les formes désirées pour réaliser les finitions de bordures par exemple .In addition, the production of metal tiles also makes it possible to make pre-cuts so that users can have all the desired shapes to achieve border finishes for example.

Une prédécoupe peut être réalisée par une succession de perforations suivant une ligne L comme l'illustrent les figures 4A et 4B.A precut can be produced by a succession of perforations along a line L as illustrated in FIGS. 4A and 4B.

Il peut s'agir également d'une prédécoupe constituée par un affaiblissement de l'épaisseur d'un carreau comme l'illustrent les figures 4A et 4B. Dans les cas illustrés par ces figures, on procédera lors de la fabrication des carrelages à un pré découpage au laser ou découpage par usinage.It can also be a precut formed by a weakening of the thickness of a tile as illustrated in FIGS. 4A and 4B. In the cases illustrated by these figures, a pre-laser cutting or cutting by machining will be carried out during the manufacture of the tiles.

Les parties reliées par les prédécoupes peuvent selon la faiblesse du lien laissé, être détachées par l'utilisateur en opérant un pivotement ou en utilisant des ciseaux adaptés au métal.The parts connected by the precuts can, depending on the weakness of the link left, be detached by the user by pivoting or by using scissors adapted to the metal.

Le traitement des surfaces de plaques en métal utilisées pour la fabrication du carrelage, permet d'avoir des finitions de type peinture, métal brossé ou poli ou autre. Ainsi les carreaux en métal peuvent avoir tous ces types de finition sur la face visible.The treatment of the surfaces of metal plates used for the manufacture of the tiling, makes it possible to have finishes of type painting, brushed or polished metal or other. Thus metal tiles can have all these types of finish on the visible side.

En outre certains carreaux peuvent avoir été préformés pour présenter un angle comme l'illustre la figure 2 et le détail donné par la figure 6. Les techniques utilisées pour ce préformage sont des techniques classiques de pliage du métal ou de rayonnage.In addition, certain tiles may have been preformed to present an angle as illustrated in FIG. 2 and the detail given in FIG. 6. The techniques used for this preforming are conventional techniques of bending the metal or shelving.

Ces carreaux 106 sont particulièrement adaptés aux parois présentant un angle. These tiles 106 are particularly suitable for walls having an angle.
