Problems solved by technology

In addition, the use of RIM results in errors in the dimensions of the final product from the design dimensions due to dimensional changes during the hardening process
This and the materials used result in any suboptimal sealing with adjacent substrates
[0016] The lapping process after forming disclosed in U.S. Patent Application 11 / 701,777 adds to manufacturing cost and time, wastes material and space, and imposes limitations on precision and the type of coupling elements that can be employed

Embodiment Construction

[0073] An improved method of manufacturing mechanically secured tiles during injection using preformed parts is disclosed herein.

[0074] In the following description, the manufacturing method of mechanically fixed facing tiles and the like is illustrated as a preferred embodiment, and it will be apparent to those skilled in the art that changes may be made without departing from the scope and spirit of the present invention, including adding and / or or replace. Specific details may be roughly described so as not to obscure the characteristics of the invention; however, the disclosure is written to enable one skilled in the art to implement the teachings herein without undue experimentation.

[0075] figure 1 Four steps are shown in the prior art method of making facing tiles with interconnection mechanisms. First, a standard facing tile is positioned in the mold at step 100 with its wear surface flush against one surface of the mold, then, at step 105, a flowable material ...

Abstract

A method of making a mechanically-held tile is disclosed by providing a tile having a durable surface, an underside and an anchoring region, locating the tile in a mold, and injecting a polymer into the mold to form a substrate with an integral coupling region. Alternatively, a substrate can be provided in addition to the tile; the injected material mechanically anchors the substrate to the tile. A surrounding grout gasket can also be formed during injection. Injections can be consecutive or concurrent to tailor the properties of the substrate, grout gasket and other layers or regions. Also disclosed is a multi-part tile made by such a process, and a tile with intrinsic manufacturing deviations compensated by a grout gasket. The tile can be interconnected via the coupling regions with other surface-covering materials.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates generally to facing tiles for covering surfaces, and more particularly to composite facing tiles having composite elements mechanically joined together, and improved methods for making said facing tiles. [0002] related application [0003] This application claims priority from US Provisional Applications 61 / 262628 and 61 / 319114 and US Patent Application 12 / 896919, the contents of which are incorporated herein by reference. Background technique [0004] Facing tiles have long been used to cover different surfaces, and they are used in different environments to provide different functions, such as as a wear-resistant surface, decoration or waterproofing. The size, shape, material and surface finish of each facing tile installed in a tile array can vary according to the requirements of the application. A tile array as defined herein is an array of face tiles of various shapes, sizes and materials that fit together to cont...
