<p>An apparatus (32) for automatically creating a simulated mosaic (Figs. 5a,5b,5c,12a,12b,13a-c,14a) controllably discharges tile pieces onto plate material (36) and secures the tile pieces in place such that the plates with the tile pieces are freestanding permitting the plates themselves to be an ordered arrangement of sections (Fig.16b) of the mosaic once cemented to the substrate. Many different forms may be had for the plate material, including ones that are pressure (Fig.20) or heat activatable (Fig.19) to bond with the tile pieces or ones that are mechanically connectable.</p> |
