BUILDING SURFACE COVER AND COVERING

ACCESSORY

TECHNICAL FIELD

The invention relates to the field of building covering. BACKGROUND

Conventional walls of building are covered either by stones or by hydrated plaster layer.

Stone covering provides exclusive appearance. However, the stones are expensive in relation to the hydrated plaster layer, and the fixing of the stones to the wall requires fixing techniques. Further the spaces between the stones must be filled for not allowing rain enter in between.

Hydrated plaster layer provides satisfactory physical insulation and durability. However, the appearance thereof is regarded as low quality.

SUMMARY In one aspect, the invention is directed to a building surface cover, including:

a plurality of meshed sheets (10A, 10B), for permanently connecting thereof, one adjacent to the other, onto a building surface (20), wherein adjacent sides (32A, 32B) of the adjacent meshed sheets (10A, 10B) are shaped complementary one to the other. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

Fig. 1 depicts the steps of constructing a building surface according to one embodiment of the invention.

At the first step, the builder constructs the building surface enumerated 20, such as a wall or a ceiling, which may be of bricks, shown in the figure, or concrete, or drywall, or any other substance. According to one embodiment, the builder may, at the second step, coat building surface 20 with a hydrated plaster layer 18, for being hardened on building surface 20. At the third step, which is prior to the hardening of hydrated plaster layer 18 if coated, the builder thrusts at least one meshed sheet 10A onto building surface 20.

In the case of having hydrated plaster layer 18, the thrusting is into hydrated plaster layer 18.

Upon hardening of hydrated plaster layer 18, if coated, meshed sheet 10A is firmly attached thereto.

Building surface 20 may be of light building, such as of drywall, or of heaving building, such as bricks or concrete. Building surface 20 may be, or probably mainly will be applied, as an indoor surface, such as of an indoor wall; or of an outdoor surface, such as of an outdoor wall. In this case, meshed sheet 10A may include a sticker, which may be a double sided sticker, for sticking meshed sheet 10A to the drywall being building surface 20.

Meshed sheet 10A includes a plurality of horizontal bars 38 and vertical bars 40, forming empty cells 26A and others therebetween.

Each of empty cells 26A, 26B, etc., of meshed sheet 10A provides plaster layer 18 an appearance of a decorative stone. Thus, the combination of meshed sheet 10A with plaster layer 18 imitates exclusive building.

In contrast to stone covering of building, requiring filling between the stones, plaster layer 18 provides improved durability, such as to water.

In order that upon hardening of hydrated plaster layer 18, meshed sheet 10B will be firmly attached thereto, meshed sheet 10B includes pins 24A, 24B, etc., for being pinned into hydrated plaster layer 18, prior to the hardening thereof.

Fig. 2 depicts the meshed sheet of Fig. 1 alone.

Meshed sheet 10A preferably includes rows 30A, 30B, etc., one above the other, each including empty cells disposed one aside the other, characterized in that empty cells of row 30A are horizontally shifted in relation to empty cells of row 30B, similar to brick building. For example, empty cell 26C of upper row 30B is horizontally shifted in relation to empty cell 26B of lower row 30A.

Meshed sheet 10A, also being characterized in the horizontal shifting, is designed to be continued with another meshed sheet 10B, and thus the end side 32A of meshed sheet 10A is shaped complementary to the end side 32B of meshed sheet 10B.

Sides 32A and 32B may include connecting elements therebetween, such as a male member 14 of side 32B of meshed sheet 10B, for being inserted into a female member 16 of side 32A of meshed sheet 10A. Thus, upon adjusting the disposition of meshed sheet

10A, and connecting meshed sheet 10B to meshed sheet 10A via connecting elements, the disposition of meshed sheet 10B as well is adjusted.

Referring again to Fig. 1, empty cell 26D of meshed sheet 10B is the complement of empty cell 26A of meshed sheet 10A. Thus, the border 42 between meshed sheet 10A and meshed sheet 10B, consisting of bar 41 of end side 32A and of another bar of end side 32B, cannot be distinguished. In order that the border between meshed sheet 10A and meshed sheet 10B, consisting of end sides 32A and 32B respectively, will further be not distinguished, meshed sheet 10A, further is characterized in that the width 46 of the bars 41 of the end sides 32A is half of the width 44 of the other bars 40, thus upon disposing two bars of two end sides, one adjacent to the other, the total width thereof is substantially equal to the width of the other bars.

Fig. 3 is a top view of a meshed sheet being attached to a curved building surface.

According to another embodiment, such as depicted in Fig. 3, the cells need not be shifted.

Meshed sheets 10A and 10B are made of cast plastic, preferably being elastic. Thus, meshed sheets 10A and 10B may be marketed not only as plates, but also as rolls.

Thus, meshed sheet 10A may easily be attached to a curved building surface 20, such as a round pillar. In this case, meshed sheet 10A may be produced to fit the perimeter of the round pillar, as depicted by border 42. Further, the shape provided by bars 36, 38, 40 etc., forming said the empty cells therebetween, is designable, including for providing graphic and artistic features, as meshed sheet 10A may include various shapes, such as rounded "bar" 36. Fig. 4 is a side view of the meshed sheet of Fig. 1 being attached to the building surface of Fig. 1. Pins 24A, 24B, etc., described in Fig. 1, preferably are shaped for widening from the rear surface 26 of meshed sheet 10B. Thus, upon pinning pins 24A and 24B into hydrated plaster layer 18 prior to the hardening thereof, layer 18 covers walls 28 of pins 24A and 24B, which upon the hardening blocks pins 24A and 24B from retracting.

Fig. 5 is a side view of another meshed sheet being attached to the building surface of Fig. 1.

According to the embodiment of Fig. 5, pins 24A and 24B widen only downwards, as depicted by wall 28, whereas the other walls of the pins, such as wall 29 does not widen.

This embodiment allows inserting pins 24A and 24B into hydrated plaster layer 18, as depicted by arrow 32 by lowering meshed sheet 10B together with pin 24A, as depicted by arrow 34.
