  • Patent number: 11560724
    Abstract: For leveling tiles, a tile leveler includes a base, a plurality of joint spacers, and two or more break lines. The brake lines are formed in the base along planar axes. Each joint spacer is within a subdivision distance of a break line. Each joint spacer adjacent to a given break line is on a spacer side of the given break line, and the break lines divide the base into sections.

  • Publication number: 20220389723
    Abstract: For leveling tile, a tile leveling device includes a tower, a base, and two leveling ridges. The tower includes a cross piece and two struts that extend in a distal direction along a first axis from the cross piece. The base is connected to the two struts at a base intersection and extending along a traverse axis from the two struts, the base comprising two side edges, two front edges, and four diagonal cutouts, wherein the two side edges are each perpendicular to both the two front edges, a diagonal cutout is between each side edge and front edge pair at a diagonal angle and each strut comprises a notch along a break line at an outer intersection. The two leveling ridges are disposed on a proximal surface of the base.

  • Patent number: 11180924
    Abstract: For leveling tile, a tile leveler includes a base, three full joint spacers, and a partial joint spacer. The base includes a base window that is free of obstruction in first axis. The three full joint spacers extend from the base in a proximal direction relative to the first axis and extend from the base in a distal direction relative to the first axis. The partial joint spacer extends from the base in the proximal direction along the first axis and does not extend from the base in the distal direction along the first axis.

  • Publication number: 20210095481
    Abstract: For leveling tile, a tensioner includes a leveling surface, a tapered surface, a leveling platform, and a bubble level. The leveling surface is disposed on proximal surfaces of first and/or second tiles. The tapered surface tapers from a front edge disposed opposite the leveling surface to a level platform, wherein there is a first separation distance between the tapered surface at the front edge and the leveling surface. The leveling platform is separated by a second separation distance from the leveling surface, wherein the leveling platform is parallel to the leveling surface. The bubble level is embedded in the leveling platform, wherein the bubble level indicates whether the leveling platform and the leveling surface is level.

  • Patent number: 10895081
    Abstract: For leveling tile, a tile leveling device (100) includes a tower (105), a base (120), and leveling ridges (130). The tower (105) includes a cross piece (110) and at least one strut that extends (115) in a distal direction (150) along a first axis (145) from the cross piece (110). Each strut (115) has a first traverse width (170). The base (120) is connected to the at least one strut (115) at a base intersection (140) and extends transversely from the at least one strut (115). The cross piece (110), the at least one strut (115), and the base (120) form a tension gap (125). The leveling ridges (130) are disposed on a proximal surface (121) of the base (120). Each leveling ridge (130) comprises a distal ridge side (131) connected to the base and a proximal ridge surface (132).
