Abstract
The device 1 includes a base 2 defining a flat platform section 4 having an upper surface that abuts the rear surface of a tile. A pair of inclined sections 5 are respectively disposed on either side of the flat platform section 4. A stem 6 is disposed at the mid-point of the inclined sections 5. The proximal end 7 of the stem 6, is frangibly connected to the base 2. The stem 6 extends through a joint between a pair of adjacent tiles, to a distal protruding end 8. Gripping formations are disposed upon the stem 6, including the V-shaped projections 9 that are disposed on the head 11 and the serrations 10 formed upon the stem 6.
Claims (8)
1. A device for use in the laying of tiles, the device including: a base configured in use to be at least partly disposed underneath a tiled surface; and a stem having a proximal end frangibly connected to the base, wherein, in use, the stem extends from the proximal end, through a joint between a pair of adjacent tiles, to a distal end protruding beyond the tiled surface; wherein at least one gripping formation is disposed upon a protruding portion of the stem.
2. A device according to claim 1 wherein the gripping formation is a V-shaped projection.
3. A device according to claim 2 wherein the V-shaped projection is disposed at or adjacent to the distal end of the stem.
4. A device according to any one of claims 1 to 3 wherein the gripping formation is in the form of serrations formed upon an edge of the stem.
5. A device according to claim 1 wherein the gripping formation is a V-shaped projection disposed at, or adjacent to, the distal end and wherein serrations are formed upon an edge of the V-shaped projection.
6. A method of laying first and second tiles upon a surface, the method including the steps of: providing a device as defined in any one of claims 1 to 5; applying an adhesive to the surface and/or to rear sides of the first and second tiles; positioning the first tile against the surface; sliding a portion of the base underneath the first tile such that an edge of the first tile abuts a first side of the stem; positioning the second tile against the surface and an opposite portion of the base such that an edge of the second tile abuts a second opposite side of the stem and such that the stem extends between the first and second tiles so as to protrude beyond the tiled surface; inserting a wedge into a hole disposed in a protruding portion of the stem so as to force outer surfaces of the first and second tiles substantially into alignment; allowing the adhesive to cure; and impacting an object upon the gripping formation so as to frangibly separate the stem from the base.
7. A method according to claim 6 wherein the object is a shoe or boot.
8. A method according to claim 7 wherein the object is a toe or a heel of the shoe or boot.
