Wall facing system
| Details |
Inventors: Sjolander, Oliver;
Assignee:
Primary Examiner: Callo; Laura A.
Assistant Examiner:
Attorney, Agent or Firm: Browdy and Neimark
A wall facing system including elongate wall facing tiles (15) of stone material and mounting bars (11) adapted to be secured in a vertical position on a building wall to support the tiles (15) with the tiles positioned one above the other and having their longitudinal dimension horizontal, and with vertically adjacent tiles adjacent and, optionally, overlapping one another. Each facing tile (15) has on its front side a rebate (15A), which extends along the upper edge of the tile, and a front plate, which extends from the rebate down to the lower edge of the tile. Moreover, each facing tile (15) has on its rear side a downwardly projecting support rib (15E), which extends in parallel with the upper and lower edges of the tile. Each mounting bar (11) has at least one flange (12) which extends in the longitudinal direction of the mounting bar and is provided with a plurality of support hooks (13) evenly spaced-apart in the longitudinal direction of the mounting bar and adapted to engage the support ribs (15E) of the tiles (15) from below to support the tiles. The lower edge of the support rib (15E) is spaced from the upper edge of the tile (15) by a distance which is not more than about 0.4, and preferably not more than about 0.3 times the total height of the tile, and each support hook (13) has a front edge defined by the front edge (12A) of the flange (12) and serving as a lateral support for a tile (15) supported by it, the length of the front edge of the support hook being at least half the distance separating corresponding points on adjacent support hooks. |

DETAILED DESCRIPTION What is claimed is: 1.
A wall facing system including elongate wall facing tiles (15) of stone material and mounting bars (10) adapted to be secured in a vertical position on a building wall to support the tiles (15) with the tiles positioned one above the other and having their longitudinal dimension horizontal, and with vertically adjacent tiles adjacent and, optionally, overlapping one another, each facing tile (15) having on its front side a rebate (15A), which extends along the upper edge of the tile, and a front plate, which extends from the rebate down to the lower edge of the tile, and having on its rear side a downwardly projecting support rib (15E), which extends in parallel with the upper and lower edges of the tile, and each mounting bar (10) having at least one flange (12) which extends in the longitudinal direction of the mounting bar and is provided with a plurality of support hooks (13) evenly spaced-apart in the longitudinal direction of the mounting bar and adapted to engage the support ribs (15E) of the tiles (15) from below to support the tiles, characterised in that the lower edge of the support rib (15E) is spaced from the upper edge of the tile (15) by a distance which is not more than about 0.
4 times the total height of the tile, and each support hook (13) having a front edge defined by the front edge (12A) of the flange (12) and serving as a lateral support for a tile (15) supported by it, the length of the front edge of the support hook (13) being at least half the distance separating corresponding points on adjacent support hooks.
2.
A wall facing system according to claim 1, in which the height of each tile (15') is approximately equal to twice the distance separating adjacent support hooks (13) of the mounting bar (10).
3.
A wall facing system according to claim 1, wherein the lower edge of the support rib (15E) is spaced from the upper edge of the tile (15) by a distance which is not more than about 0.
3 times the total height of the tile
