Abstract

The system from solid natural stone slabs and plates from natural stone (1) fixed on carrier (2) has plates exhibiting deep-milled groove (4) and specially aligned spring which has small tolerance. The groove has a depth of 0.5 cm to 6 cm, which is milled in the side surface of the carrier or in the natural stone slab. The gap between the slabs is sealed with 1 to 10 mm thick strips of plastic or rubber. Independent claims are also included for the following: (A) Method for producing laying system from solid natural stone slabs and plates from natural stones fixed on a carrier; and (B) Usage of the laying system.

Description

The Invention relates to the production of a laying system consisting made of natural stones or natural stones on girders, using a tongue-and-groove system with each other can be connected. The invention exceptionally deep and accurately introduced elastic spring coated with plastic or with a Foil is made of plastic or rubber, ensures a precise plane, edgeless and stable connection between the plates without that an extra Gluing or anchoring is required. The applied film causes Here, in addition to a clamping effect, a seal against moisture.

The faces the plates can be covered with a plastic or rubber film, which at the groove is separated. When inserting the spring becomes a protruding Part of the film inserted into the groove with. By this arrangement the effect of moisture on the wearer is prevented. Especially in wet rooms and in the wet cleaning of floors would otherwise be the ingress of water lead in the long term to swelling and fouling of the spring and the carrier. The replacement the natural stone layer of the carrier can then be the result.

The Plates can be laid seamlessly. The occupation of the side surfaces with The plastic or rubber film also prevents damage the stone edges by rubbing. Dry laying may involve an elastically sealed joint make sense. You can do this prefabricated tailor-made strips z. B. of PVC or rubber can be introduced as a joint.

at a fixed laying of the plates can also be applied to the bonding of faces dispensed with a film and the joint conventionally be sealed with a joint adhesive.

in the Traps of massive natural stone slabs without support should be the thickness of the slabs greater than 8 mm. In the case of natural stone slabs on supports should the thickness of the natural stone slab should be less than or equal to 30 mm.

at the plates of natural stone on supports, the deep groove in the carrier milled.

in the Trap of solid natural stone slabs without support will create a deep groove in the side surface milled the stone. The laying is also done here with the tongue and groove system described above.

The expert Laying the already expensive natural stones is costly. An exact installation is for difficult for the layman, especially when larger plates are laid should. On uneven ground also provides the installation for the Professional is a problem.

The inventive plate system can but also by a layman in the "do-it-yourself" procedure exactly be laid because the special tongue and groove arrangement automatically to a stable and edgeless connection between the plates to be laid leads.

The achievable with the present invention stable and exact plate connection is thereby enabled that unlike conventional an unusual one deep groove milled so that the correspondingly wide spring can be inserted deeply and thus can absorb pressure and bending forces effectively. From very stable at the same time but also made of an elastic material existing spring is only minor thinner as the groove.

Both are according to the invention the spring as well as the plate side surfaces with an easily compressible Foil, e.g. B. rubber or PVC coated. The side foil is separated at or in the middle of the groove (drawing 1), so that the spring loaded with a film inserted into the groove can be (drawing 2). This and above all through the film on the spring to reach an effective stabilizing clamping effect in the groove. On the other hand, this arrangement groove, spring and side surfaces of the carrier protected against moisture. In spite of the clamping effect leaves the spring can easily insert into the groove, correct their position and remove again. Thus, you can in a dry installation, the plates are removed again, without that the old state of the space changed becomes. This procedure can be used for example in rental apartments on carpets or at temporary Installations of exhibition stands to be interesting.

There the connection between the tongue and groove assembled panels is very stable, can connect several plates to larger areas and for cladding facades, walls and floors, z. B. in the renovation of old buildings or half-timbered houses, where a continuous attachment to the ground presents problems.

The inventively achieved seal against moisture (in wet rooms or wet cleaning) is a prerequisite for the long-term existence of the system, since mainly wood-based substrates but also many commercial plastic substrates swell and lazy in the long term when moisture enters. Then there is the danger that the natural stone separates from the carrier.

at The seamless laying prevents the side foil from damage Friction effects. When laying with a joint, the joint can as usual with a joint adhesive are sealed or according to the invention with prefabricated precisely fitting stripes, z. B. made of rubber or PVC.

The Natural stone slabs can made of granite, marble or slate. The thickness of the natural stone layer depends on the application.

at the laying of natural stone slabs without support in the tongue and groove system should according to the present application, the thickness of the natural stone plate at least 8 mm.

at the laying of natural stone slabs glued to a support are preferably used natural stone slabs with a thickness less than 30 mm.

to Stabilization thinner Natural stone slabs and also for adhesion during fixation a carrier It may be beneficial to use the underside of natural stone with one Fiber, z. B .: a glass fiber and a synthetic resin, for. B .: one Epoxy resin to stick.

The Choice of the carrier and his strength depends on the purpose.

For floors you need a water resistant as possible carrier (low swelling behavior), which also has good strength having. With the exception of pure plastic, all carriers, the not made of metal, a more or less strong swelling behavior on exposure to moisture.

Natural stone systems which also for to be affordable to the average consumer, you need one cheap carrier, usually wood-based, which swells when exposed to moisture must be prevented.

in the Trade available are plates that act as a water barrier on the top and bottom of the carrier a coating of z. B. phenolic or melamine resin (z. OSB or HDF boards).

The uncoated side surfaces the carrier but make the natural ones attack surface for moisture, rot and fungal infection.

The present invention includes the possibility of the carrier side surfaces and especially to seal the groove. This is in the description groove, Set forth spring and joint.
