Abstract

A tile leveler has a base and a spin cover. The base has a clamping board, a connecting slice, and a connecting rod. The spin cover is detachably connected to the base, is a transparent cover, and has a screw portion and a spin portion. The screw portion is disposed on a top of the spin cover and is connected to the connecting rod. The spin portion is connected to the screw portion and has at least one rotating strip. Each one of the at least one rotating strip has an abutted-curved face disposed on an outer side of the rotating strip away from the screw portion.

Claims (42)

1 . A tile leveler comprising:

a base having

a clamping board having:

a clamping face disposed on a top side of the clamping board;

two clamping portions disposed on each one of two ends of the clamping board, and each one of the two clamping portions having multiple abutted teeth arranged in an inclined, stepped manner on a bottom surface of the respective clamping portion; and

a gap formed between the two clamping portions on each one of the two ends of the clamping board and gradually expanding from an inside to an outside;

a connecting rod; and

a connecting slice connected to the clamping board and the connecting rod; and

a spin cover detachably connected to the base, being a transparent cover, and having

a screw portion disposed on a top of the spin cover and connected to the connecting rod of the base; and

a spin portion connected to the screw portion and having three rotating strips;

wherein

each one of the three rotating strips has an abutted-curved face disposed on an outer side of the rotating strip away from the screw portion; and

each two adjacent ones of the three rotating strips are arranged on the spin portion at an included angle of 120 degrees.

2 . The tile leveler as claimed in claim 1 , wherein

the spin portion has an opening formed on a bottom of the spin portion; and

each one of the three rotating strips is disposed curvedly on and extends out of an external surface of the spin portion along a direction from the screw portion to the opening.

3 . The tile leveler as claimed in claim 2 , wherein

each one of the three rotating strips has two ends, one of the two ends of each rotating strip is connected to the screw portion, and the other one of the two ends of each rotating strip extends radially toward the opening.

4 . The tile leveler as claimed in claim 3 , wherein the spin cover has

an abutted hole formed through an external surface of the spin cover between each two adjacent ones of the three rotating strips; and

an auxiliary contact surface disposed between an outer periphery of each abutted hole and each two adjacent ones of the three rotating strips.

5 . The tile leveler as claimed in claim 4 , wherein

each abutted hole is a non-circular structure; and

each auxiliary contact surface is connected to the abutted-curved face of one of the two adjacent ones of the three rotating strips.

6 . The tile leveler as claimed in claim 5 , wherein the spin cover has a reminder symbol disposed on at least one of the auxiliary contact surfaces.

7 . The tile leveler as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the spin cover has a pressing flange annularly formed on a bottom of the spin portion.

8 . The tile leveler as claimed in claim 2 , wherein the spin cover has a pressing flange annularly formed on a bottom of the spin portion.

9 . The tile leveler as claimed in claim 3 , wherein the spin cover has a pressing flange annularly formed on a bottom of the spin portion.

10 . The tile leveler as claimed in claim 4 , wherein the spin cover has a pressing flange annularly formed on a bottom of the spin portion.

11 . The tile leveler as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the connecting slice is connected to the clamping face of the clamping board and has a through hole formed through the connecting slice between the clamping board and the connecting slice.

12 . The tile leveler as claimed in claim 2 , wherein the connecting slice is connected to the clamping face of the clamping board and has a through hole formed through the connecting slice between the clamping board and the connecting slice.

13 . The tile leveler as claimed in claim 3 , wherein the connecting slice is connected to the clamping face of the clamping board and has a through hole formed through the connecting slice between the clamping board and the connecting slice.

14 . The tile leveler as claimed in claim 11 , wherein

the connecting rod is connected to an edge of the connecting slice away from the clamping board and has a thread formed on an external surface of the connecting rod; and

the screw portion has a threaded hole formed through the screw portion and selectively screwed with the thread of the connecting rod.

15 . The tile leveler as claimed in claim 12 , wherein

the connecting rod is connected to an edge of the connecting slice away from the clamping board and has a thread formed on an external surface of the connecting rod; and

the screw portion has a threaded hole formed through the screw portion and selectively screwed with the thread of the connecting rod.

16 . The tile leveler as claimed in claim 13 , wherein

the connecting rod is connected to an edge of the connecting slice away from the clamping board and has a thread formed on an external surface of the connecting rod; and

the screw portion has a threaded hole formed through the screw portion and selectively screwed with the thread of the connecting rod.
