Device for laying tiles - has vibrator to embed tile into adhesive on surface portion over which tile is initially held

摘要

A body member (3) is associated with a body for holding a tile (19), over a surface portion covered with an adhesive material. The surface portion is intended to receive the tile, and for allowing the tile to contact the adhesive material. A vibrator is also associated with the body and is operative when the tile is in contact with the surface portion covered with the adhesive material. This causes the tile to become embedded in the adhesive material and thus become fixed on the surface portion. A vacuum valve (47) enables the holding member (or members) to release the tile after the latter has been fixed on the surface portion.
