CN-122013958-A - String patterns and string assemblies for forming surfaces with less repetitive designs and shapes at the trigonometric junctions of string patterns
Abstract
The modular pattern and the segment assemblies form surfaces with less repetitive designs and shapes at the triangular intersections of the modular patterns. Each model, when located at the first direction angle, has the same perimeter composed of 3 outer curve contours. The outer curve profile includes a concave side having a removed first region shape that is added to an adjacent convex side that is capable of seamless engagement with the concave sides of other tiles. Each modular model has 3 different interior top surface portions that protrude inward from the 3 outer curve profiles to the 3 inner curve profiles, which is different from the design of the other modular models. The 3 different interior surface portions are configured to form a surface with a less repeating shape at the triangular intersection between the 3 string patterns, with one pattern at a first orientation angle, a second pattern rotated 120 degrees, and a third pattern rotated 240 degrees.

Information of related application The priority of provisional patent application 63/694,011, filed on 9/12 of 2024, entitled "surface having a never repeated design and shape", is hereby incorporated by reference in its entirety. Background Technical Field The invention relates to a limited number of modular models (tile models) that form a surface with less repetitive designs and shapes at their tri-angular intersections (at triangular intersections) and to tile assemblies (tile assemblages) of these modular models. Related art To date, it has not been possible to lay down walls or floors of ceramic tiles, marble or other materials by combining different shapes or designs at the triangle intersections with a limited number of modular models, which are rarely repeated or almost never repeated. The global floor and covering markets are replete with increasingly similar designs that are sometimes tedious and easily duplicated, which in some cases have to be in an unfortunate but necessary form to achieve specific production costs to ensure sales feasibility. The continued search for practical solutions, creating new works in very attractive and completely unique designs and realizing them at reasonable cost, is an effective way for enterprises to stand out in the market and win survival in professional behavior not only in the market but also in employees and households in the first place. After numerous attempts and experiments, new developments have been made in unique tile designs. Now, by the presently disclosed less than ten segments or modular models, less repetitive and aesthetically pleasing designs can be manufactured at lower cost. Drawings Figures 1A-1H depict a limited number of four modular models that can be used to form a modular assembly with surfaces of less repetitive design and shape formed at the triangular intersections of the modular models. Figures 2A-2B depict a limited number of four modular models with arm splatter that can be used to form a tile assembly with less repetitive design and shape surfaces formed at the triangle intersections of the modular models (e.g., triangles may include or be 1/3 of the irregular portion intersections of the same intersections of the modular models). Figures 3A-3B depict a limited number of four modular models having a peripheral outer curve profile and shape of the inner top surface portion that can be used to form a tile assembly with surfaces of less repetitive design and shape formed at the triangular intersections of the modular models. Figures 4A-4C depict a limited number of three modular models that can be used to form a tile assembly with few repeating geometric designs formed at the trigonometric intersection of the modular models. Figures 5A-5D depict a limited number of six modular models that can be used to form a modular assembly with little duplication of design and shape at the trigonometric intersection of the modular models. Fig. 6A-6B depict a limited number of six different thickness modular models that can be used to form a tile assembly or combination to form a surface with less repetitive tile thickness designs and shapes at the triangular intersections of the modular models. In this specification, elements appearing in the drawing are given a three-digit reference identifier (three-DIGIT REFERENCE designators), in which the most significant digit (the most SIGNIFICANT DIGIT) is the drawing number and the two least significant digits (2 least significant digits) are the particular identification of the element. Elements not described in connection with the figures may be presumed to have the same characteristics and functions as elements previously described with the same least significant digit reference identifier. Detailed description of the drawings The present invention relates to a limited number of modular models, and tiles of these models that can be used in a tile assembly or installation, which can form surfaces with less repetitive shape designs and/or shapes at their triangular intersections. For example, using only 3, 4, 5, or 6 modular models herein for simple standard industrial production, less repetitive and aesthetically pleasing tile surface effects can be achieved at more reasonable cost as compared to o
