TILE LAYER DEVICE BY CHEREPANOVS-2 Russian patent published in 2013 - IPC E04F21/20 

FIELD: construction.

SUBSTANCE: automatic device for laying tiles onto a horizontal surface comprises one guide rail, in which a device freely moves in the longitudinal direction on a carriage, and displacement in perpendicular direction, for realisation of the next longitudinal row, is carried out together with the guide rail, via a support trolley fixed on the device frame or manually without its application, besides, there is a frame fixed on the carriage with a template platform for the size of the laid tile with separating stripes, one of which is movable with magnetic fixation, on the template there are also suction caps for each tile, connected by means of hoses with a vacuum pump, a vibrator, and the tiles that are laid into the template platform and fixed on the face side by means of vacuum via suction caps are turned manually together with the template platform around the axis of the template platform, with further additional rotation in the same direction of the entire frame until stop of the template platform with tiles against the adhesive, applied onto the prepared surface of the floor, and connection-disconnection of the vacuum pump and the vibrator is carried out via a control panel fixed on the frame. The main motion of the automatic device in longitudinal and transverse direction is carried out not in the rail, but in a certain position of the device, on the pair of wheels arranged perpendicularly to each other, and fixed on the device frame via the movable carriage with height difference, relative to each other, and auxiliary transverse motion is carried out via a system of levers moving the frame around the frame axis, on which the template platform is fixed not rigidly, having extents of free motion in vertical and horizontal planes, having fixtures for laser indicators, dividers that are arranged perpendicularly and fixed, and dividers that are freely fixed to the template platform with the help of magnetic holders in amount from 1 to 10, and rotation of the entire device until full stop against the adhesive previously applied onto the prepared floor surface with tiles laid into the template platform and pressed by vacuum to the platform, is carried out serially via a partial turn around the axis of the template platform and via the lower point of longitudinal wheels stop.

EFFECT: increased labour efficiency and facilitated device maintenance.
