Abstract
Description
- 1. Field of the Invention
- The present invention relates to a tile, more particularly one having a layer formed on an upper side of a base part, which layer is made of shining glaze containing different color and different-sized mica flakes such that light will be refracted in different directions, and such that it can be seen changing colors while a person is changing position.
- 2. Brief Description of the Prior Art
- Early tiles have a single color and smooth surface. To provide people with more choices, the industry have made various tiles available to the consumers, e.g. ones having concavities and convexities, ones having drawings, and ones having three-dimensional patterns on the surface. Although some conventional tiles are formed with different colors and patterns on the surface, they will always be seen with fixed colors and patterns on the surface, and can't any more satisfy those people who are more interested in fancy things.
- It is a main object of the present invention to provide an improvement on a tile to overcome the above disadvantages.
- The tile of the present invention includes a base part made of earth material and by means of baking, and a color-changeable layer on an upper side of the base part, which is made of shining glaze containing different color and different-sized mica flakes. Thus, the tile will be seen changing colors while people are changing their position relative to it or while light traveling to it is changing direction.
- The present invention will be better understood by referring to the accompanying drawings, wherein:
-
FIG. 1 is a side view of the first embodiment of a tile according to the present invention, -
FIG. 2 is a top view of the second embodiment in the present invention, -
FIG. 3 is a side view of the second embodiment, -
FIG. 4 is a top view of the third embodiment, -
FIG. 5 is a side view of the third embodiment, -
FIG. 6 is a top view of the fourth embodiment, and -
FIG. 7 is a side view of the fourth embodiment. - Referring to
FIG. 1 , a first embodiment of a tile in present invention includes abase part 11, and a color-changeable layer 12; thebase part 11 is made of clay or other proper materials and by means of baking at 800 to 900° C.; shining glaze is applied all over an upper surface of thebase part 1 to form the color-changeable layer 12 after thebase part 11 is baked, which shining glaze contains many different color and different-sized mica flakes; thebase part 11 is baked at 800 to 900° C. for the second time after the color-changeable layer 12 is formed. - Because the shining glaze, which is applied on the upper surface of the
base part 11, contains many mica flakes, which are different color and different-sized, light will be refracted in different directions when traveling onto the upper side of the tile. And, while people are changing their position relative to the tile or while light traveling to the tile is changing direction, the upper side of the tile will be seen changing colors. - Referring to
FIGS. 2 and 3 , a second embodiment of a tile includesbase part 11, color-changeable layer 12 all over an upper side of thebase part 11, and second color-changeable layer 13 on the color-changeable layer 12. Both the color-changeable layer layer 13 forms a pattern or drawing on thelayer 12, and it can be seen with the colors changing in a different manner from thelayer 12 while people are changing their position relative to the tile or while light traveling to the tile is changing direction. Thus, the second embodiment will be fancier and more attractive than the first one. - Referring to
FIGS. 4 and 5 , a third embodiment of a tile includesbase part 11, color-changeable layer 12 all over an upper side of thebase part 11, and a single-color layer 13 forming a pattern or drawing on the color-changeable layer 12. The color-changeable layer 12 is made of shining glaze, which contains many different color and different-sized mica flakes. - Referring to
FIGS. 6 and 7 , a fourth embodiment of a tile includesbase part 11, a single-color layer 15 all over an upper side of thebase part 11, and a color-changeable layer 16 on the single-color layer 15. The color-changeable layer 16 forms a pattern or drawing, and it is made of shining glaze, which contains many different color and different-sized mica flakes. - From the above description, it can be easily understood that because of the color-changeable layers, which are made of shining glaze containing many different color and different-sized mica flakes, the above embodiments of tile will be seen changing colors while people are changing their position relative to them or while light traveling to them is changing direction. Therefore, the tiles of the present invention will be more attractive than those that can't change colors.
