Description

The current application claims a foreign priority to application number 103222912 filed on Dec. 25, 2014 in Taiwan.

FIELD OF THE INVENTION

The present invention relates to a tile flattener device structure, and particularly relates to the field of an equipment used for installing tiles by rapidly adjusting caulking distance, tile level, and plane distance.

DESCRIPTION OF THE RELATED ART

The prior art tile flattener device shown in FIG. 9 consists of a supporting seat 20 and a pressure support block 30. The supporting seat 20 comprises a concave arc-shaped lower base 21 and an upwards-extending shank 22. Two guide holes 210 are positioned at a suitable place corresponding to the lower base 21, and a perforation 220 passes through the shank 22. By means of the pressure support block 30 passing through the perforation 220 of the shank 22, and applying a downward force on the tile, it enables the concave arc-shaped part of the supporting seat 20 to adjust the height of the adjacent tile. However, it has the following problems:

1. Not easy to use: Its supporting seat can only perform levelling in between two tiles, such that a tile flattener device is required to be positioned in between each two tiles, which makes the working procedures complicated and extends construction time, and therefore it is not easy to use.

2. High usage costs: Its supporting seat can only perform levelling in between two tiles, such that a tile flattener device is required to be positioned in between each two tiles, which increases the amount of use of the tile flattener device during levelling of tiles, and therefore has high usage costs.
