Abstract (en)
[origin: EP3318697A1] A two part device (1000) is used in leveling and spacing tiles (4100). The device includes two parts, a rotatable portion called a knob-cam (2000) and a fixed portion called hook-base (3000). The hook-base includes ribs (3220) for spacing and separating tiles, and a neck portion (3140) extending through a slot opening in the knob-cam. In use, the hook-base portion is set down and tiles are laid down and spaced by the ribs of the base portion. The neck portion extends upwardly above the tiles, and is adapted to be broken away upon application of sufficient upward force or sideways force. The knob-cam includes two diametral opposed frontal action cam surfaces (2100) that engage portions (3110) of the hook when the knob-cam is rotated. The knob-cam is rotated until the tiles are secured between the knob-cam and the hook-base. This device clamps the corners or edges of the tiles, making coplanar upper surfaces.
